    A quick trawl across Ebay came up with this item:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-U900-unlocked_W0QQitemZ260389022835QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones?hash=item260389022835&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A13|39%3A1|240%3A1318
    It is also interesting to note the buyer changed ID on sunday as well.
    I will be blocking the buyer from bidding on my auctions after her 'item not received' comments.

    sorry to post again but ive been looking at the pic and theres a warning sign on the screen of the phone that looks like it says the phone is blocked or maybe its to do with a sim card. i dont have one of these phones so dont know.

    If that is the phone then it seems odd they are also selling the charger with it!

    I have taken the precaution of blocking the buyer just in case it is our OP.

    It was the only one that fitted the bill, a used black U900, started on the Sunday in question, with some damage and purchased by a private individual.

    I'm not sure this is the phone in question, but I'm blocking the buyer just in case.

    If you click on her name on a post and then on public profile, all will be revealed ;)

    Her last post was 16/04/09 at 3.03PM so she hasn't logged in since, but she could be reading the replies without logging in iyswim

    The OP was happy enough to defraud the post office .

    Not necessarily - she may not have thought it through in her excitement, that's why I said what I said without accusations.
