It's an older model with not a huge amount of disk space. Other than that no catch at all.

Im happy witha 3gs, as the price is right.

China Postage - Did think about clones/copy etc. But surely my iTunes account would tell me when i plug it in.

iPhones eBay - I guess the problem you could face if they were reported as stolen, then blocked. I would say more risk from a private seller, over a business seller.

By which time you have lost your money. You have to send the item back tracked to China for a refund, and it's difficult to find a tracked service out there that actually tracks. You have no legal recourse as the seller is outside the EU.

Complete false economy.

I'm with the person who said they wouldn't buy this kind of thing on eBay. Save up for a new one or get a good tariff - don't try and skimp on things, you will only end up disappointed.
