    Yeah, if only I had slightly fewer scruples. It's a £600 unlocked iphone too... few would complain at being sent too many of those.

    Pwoorr bet the sellers a bit worried. What a plonker, how many £600 items must he sent to make that sort of mistake!

    I presume they sent it recorded delivery, otherwise it would be "what second phone..."?

    You need to send it back recorded, and properly insured up to the full amount, otherwise they could claim you didn't send it back properly! The best way to do this is for THEM to arrange a courrier but at your convenience.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I would make them arrange for collection from you. I wouldnt accept a postage payment from them to my paypal as they only have to put a claim in and paypal would refund to them the postage they sent you.

    I don't think they'll do wrong by me as I've not left feedback yet but it's a good tip - I'll ask them to collect the phone.

    I'm a generous chap, but...

    Happy to share the seller's ID if anyone fancies testing the BOGOF theory? ;) He may well just tell you to bog off.
