Just sharing my expirience .
i bought a xiaomi mi mix 3 with DHL shiping , after i paid with Visa credit Card the payment was aprooved and on the webpage es pending ; the very next day i recive a mail from them asking to send them picures of the front and back of the credit card and as well as my ID with a picture included ??
I called Visa right away and they told me not to send any of these pictures as it could be a fraud and that geekbuying already had all the necessary info .
when i chat with them , they were really rude and after my questions the operator decided to cancel my order , realizing of course that i wasnt going to send all the pictures they requiered .
After this incident i did some research and it seems they do this and even after you send the pictures required took about 2 weeks to change the status from pending to paid .
Long story short avoid a hedache avoid purchases from geekbuying !!!!
