Selling phone..

Mwesty

Can anyone here give me some advice please. I got a refurbished Blackberry Bold 9000 from o2 rententions when upgrading my phone and put it on eBay. Item number: 300311268878. I put it on a 1 day auction. With over 17 hours left, its already on £268. It seems fishy to me because I've seen brand new ones go for this amount or slightly less, and mine is refurbished. This the latest bidding history:-

Is this something to be worried about? My Paypal account is verified, what can I do to ensure I don't end up losing my money and phone here.

That item number is bringing up a Nokia 6500 classic.

EDIT: Found the phone you are selling. Seems OK to me to be honest, they all seem to be that expensive and although your phone is a refurb it sounds perfect.

You need to make sure that this phone is sent via trackable methods with sufficient insurance, note any and all serial numbers etc and make sure you have excellent photos in case of a dispute. If the buyer wants to collect the phone in person, don't let them pay by Paypal (well, actually you can't stop them, so what I am saying is if they pay by paypal don't let them collect in person).

I am sure more experienced Ebayers will be along with more advice.

As above really..use Special Delivery only,and you ar einsured then for full amount.Serial numbers and IMEI numbers need to be kept too.I would have put on my listing that i have logged these numbers also.I think Soolin also recommends that you put you are aware of the 419 scam.That will stop any nigeria bids!
Are you buyer preferences set high? Blocking foriegn bids,people with no CC on file and neg feedbackers.
