  • I have just requested the phone number and called the chap. He seemed nice but seemed to know his stuff. He does not want to cancel he wants the phone!!!

    I normally send my signed for stuff with Yodel, I've never had any issues. He has asked though that I send with Royal mail signed for as he can then get carded and hes not far from the sorting office, he said he pops back to this address now and again, great!

    What do I do, Special delivery? Is there a scam with this I've not read about. Feeling very stressed about this.....

    He might know that signed for are not always tracked - so yes - special delivery.

    Just one last thing if someone could check for me.....

    The paypal confirmed name and address to post to is a different name altogether to the person who has bought the phone but at the bottom of the paypal paymemt is says payment sent from Mr A who is the person I have just called and spoken to and who has bought the phone if that makes any sense but the name above the paypal address to send to is someone completely different a Mr O.

    Make sure your return address is on - he might not collect it.

    AS long as the address box says that you have seller protection, you are fine.
