Trying to sell a phone?

In theory it shouldn't such a difficult task but its a disaster.

Started of on Gumtree, posted a nice photo etc not 1 phone call.

So then tried eBay, Put it on, it sold ok but not really for as much as I would of liked but I though ok I just wanted rid, Guy paid me money put on hold for 21 days and not a hope would I be posting a 32GB Galaxy S2 without having access to my money, I explained to him he agreed and we cancelled the transaction.

Tried selling on eBay again with a new Paypal account, exact same problem however this time I also got limited and they wanted me to confirm this that and the other and then eBay also restricted my account until I confirm the stuff with Paypal, so emailed in all requested and I am then told the limit will not be lifted.

So this is where were at now, I could sell it to Cex or the likes who will give me a couple of hundred and then sell it of at almost full price.

Any ideas?

    Seems you have to have trader experience or they want newbies to go through eBay which we have already done, seems I couldn't give this damn phone away.
