I wouldn't sell it if I were you despite all of the optimistic advice here it sounds dodgy. £170 is a lot to lose.0

Thanks, I got ebay on live chat at the moment, not that they seem to be much help.I wouldn't sell it if I were you despite all of the optimistic advice here it sounds dodgy. £170 is a lot to lose.
See this is what I'm thinking, but if I try and cancel the transaction I will definitely get a negative, or I risk sending it and losing the money and still getting the negative.0 -
Hopefully ebay will check out the bad FB he's given to most of the other sellers he's used & cancel the transaction.0

Nope, no support from ebay, been told to cancel the transaction as a mutual agreement, and feedback, by both parties, can still be left as long as it's honest and fair.0

And who decides what this is? I don't believe you have any way to challenge it, do you?Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -
If you do send it make sure you take a photo or write down the IMEI number as well - then if he claims it's faulty and sends you back a different phone, you can prove it0

You have entered into a contract. Send the phone signed for, that gives your proof of delivery. If its faulty he can return it or make a claim but for what reason? I use eBay a lot and have incurred this problem once, I asked the buyer to return goods and they went away.0

Whilst I do feel for the OPs dilemna I cannot see how a neg along the lines of 'seller refused to sell' could be challenged as unfair, as it would be the truth.
More worrying though fees on this are high, and OP stands to take a big hit if a mutual is refused.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
