Which is the best day and time to list on ebay?

There isn't really a day or time that's best, people bid at all different times. However, I'd say to list it so it ends in an evening or at a weekend, that way people who work full time are more likely to see it.

Like mentioned there is no 'best' however i suggest that the best time to start/finish an auction is on your target audiences Sunday or Monday night at around 8.00pm to 10.00pm.

Sunday's are my recommendation then post the following day.

Keep the IMEI number of the phone to stop them returning a different one. It'll be in the phone information in the settings menu and also it should be on the sim card holder. You can also use this to block the phone if they try to reverse the payment.

Looks fine, but I'd suggest putting up a few more photos of the item. I'd also put the price again (or put £400 ono) in the description just to confirm the price in the title.

Little thing, but I'd also put cash only on collection rather than just cash only just in case some scammer says he'll post the cash.

I was just going to say put more close up photos on,
also I don't personally put my phone contact number down until I have had an email about it and then use a spare phone just for selling stuff.

Some people are happy to do it though.

Thanks I just altered it

Do gumtree take any of the money if it sells then?
