They have the 1100mAh battery for $7.50 and the 1700 mAh for $7.99. It is $6.99 per unit for shipping, but if you order at least three items, they give you $5 off the order. You can also combine shipping and for three items they charged me $15. So for 2 - 1100mAh and 1 - 1700mAh it cost me $35 total.
I should get them in the next couple of days and I'll let you all know how they work. Just thought I'd share the info
There was an article in PC World mentioning that a very high percentage of cell batteries are substandard knock-offs, and have been known to catch fire spontaneously in peoples pocket. Just a word of warning
I ordered them as well, if they are not really OEM I will be sending them back. But for that price and the seller rating of the seller, it was worth trying
I have purchased this exact battery from this exact company for that exact price. It is OEM. It is identical in every way to the battery that came with the phone. I also bought a cradle, and it too is OEM, identical to the one that came with the phone, and is likewise perfect in every way.
The company shipped promptly, and items were received in a timely manner.
Just bought two slim batteries and an extended battery for less than $32 shipped! Definitely worth the risk. And to think I was about to buy one Mugen slim battery for $55 + shipping!
I'll report how they work. Thanks for the tip, it really made my day!
I had done both. I bought a Mugen slim, and also bought a standard battery from this company. Now, I use the Mugen nearly all the time. I found a leather business card holder at an outlet store, and it is the perfect size to carry two standard batteries. I keep them charged, and in my briefcase when I travel. If for some reason my Mugen loses power while I am travelling, then I have the two standard batteries as a good backup (the one came with the phone, the other I bought from this GSM - they are identical.) As for the extended battery, I simply don't like the look or feel of the pregnant phone.
I've purchased accessories and batteries from that vendor and other similar vendors on Ebay. (Travel charger, cradle, car charger, batteries.) They are genuine Samsung accessories or extremely good knockoffs that look identical to the accesories that came with my phone! I have used them with no problems.
They actually appear to be used accessories that someone has orphaned. (Note that the listings do not claim to sell new parts.)
i certainly agree that you cant get something for nothing, but a seller rating of 98 percent for 76000 goes a long way with me. I haven't seen any recent complaints about them that worry me.

Hope you had better luck than I did with this ***EDIT*** "seller" One month to the day, and I still don't have my batteries. Look elsewhere folks, trust me

Based on the 2% negative comments I've read of him on eBay, this seller's biggest problems are lack of e-mail response (in frequent) and slow shipping (quite frequent). Sounds like you are one of those cases.
I guess there's nothing to do but hang in there. I've never had a major problem on eBay (knock on wood). Can you complain to eBay and get your $$$ back?
My guess is they have a HUGE volume of business and utilize a small staff. Who knows, it could be a "one man operation". Too bad they don't take time to answer some simple questions or always ship in a timely fashion. That's a great way to sink your business.
