    180645980417 that was the item number...

    Just seen that its a 32GB as well which makes it incredibly cheap indeed.
    That said she has good feedback, how very strange.

    I'd give her a call, but just explain that you are a little confused to receive a coat not your iphone. I wouldn't pretend to be anyone else and at this stage I'd give her the benefit of the doubt as there are none of the usual 'red flags' in her listings or feedback.

    Approach it calmly, say "I think you may have mixed up your parcels" and see where you go from there.

    I now notice that the phone is missing the volume key, which would affect its price so it was possibly around the right price for the phone.

    My guess would be she's got her parcels mixed up and is currently sat in the garden enjoying the sun and not deliberately ignoring you.
    Good luck, please do update when you hear something. Most of us on here try and be helpful :p

    Indeed, which makes me wonder why the seller also said in their listing that "The phone is fully working not faulty or "slightly faulty" as a lot of these ebay listings are." and even in the sub-title described it as "Fantastic phone, fully working condition!"

    I'm afraid that in my book, a phone which is missing its volume key is not in "fully working condition", and I would never describe it as such. It does make me wonder how honest the seller really is.
