    Just a point - you can't message watchers as you don't know who they are. You only know who the bidders are.

    Just to let everyone know

    The phone sold for more than I ever thought I would get to someone who was going to use it with Vodafone anyway!

    Thank goodness for that, I am a complete mess but very happy

    Glad it worked out ok for you.

    Just make sure you send it fully tracked (special delivery) with sufficient insurance and take a note of the imei (?) details from the box.

    Good luck.

    Thank You

    I will post it next day signed for delivery & I will take a picture of the imei from the phone box before I parcel it up.

    you should really take the IMEI number from the battery compartment of the phone like high street stores do as they could say phone faulty and send an old phone exactly the same back in the same box, so you refund thinking the phone was faulty so the buyer has your phone and the money

    I did not know that's where the number is on the battery. I can't do that as I have sold it as factory sealed

    I guess I just keep my fingers crossed

    its not on the battery but in the compartment where the battery is. highstret stores sell as factory sealed but will open it infront of you to check the IMEI number

    It will most likely be on a white sticker. Can't really miss it.

    Seller cannot check that though as she has sold a sealed box. If she opens it then a SNAD claim can be made.
