    Relisting will not cost you again - you are fully credited when reporting the non paying bidder to eBay.

    You only get your FVFs back, OP will get a relist credit if it sells on 2 nd attempt, but then if that fails as well you get to pay the listing fees all over again.
    as long asu report them u will get your money back

    make sure u block low feedback bidders and maybe do uk only

    Definitely only offer UK as mobiles are not covered if sent via RM overseas.
    thanks everyone for advice, actually i am a genuinely honest person and not the luckiest! I bought it for 400.00 over 2 mnths ago but every1 is willing to buy for 200.00 but i cant affors to let it go for 200.00 d123!

    You can do a BIN with best offer which will cost 40p to list, then make sure you have it set for immediate payment required, that means unless they pay then have not won the phone.

    Your post could read as though you had this at auction and have winners that you haven't sold to as the end price was too low, that would obviously be risking your account, so I hope that is just my misreading of it.

    As long as you have good feedback, decent photos- not stock ones and sensible post and packing (special delivery obviously) there should be no reason why a good iPhone should not reach its potential.

    Are you referring to in_the_cotsworlds? If so, allowing Paypal and personal collection is a bad idea and the seller could then claim item not received.

    To keep Paypal seller protection you need to post the item by a trackable (and over £150, signed for) method. With an expensive phone I would only post RMSD.
