Thanks I just altered it

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

Nope. You can pay for featured listings if you wish, but otherwise it's completely free to use. No fees at all, just cash in hand when it sells.

lol perhaps, but I think there's enough room for both sites. Amazon is more competition to ebay than Gumtree are.

No, Amazon have fees too. Far more items are sold on Amazon though, you can buy new and used, anyone can sell on there and everything's posted. Amazon is a very popular platform for buying and selling.

Wouldn't it have been wise to ask that before you listed, not afterwards?

You haven't stated what the storage capacity is, eg 16GB, 32GB, 64GB.
Unless it's a higher capacity one I think £400 is awfully expensive. Not many on ebay fetch anything like as much as that.
New 16GB ones were available last week for £388 fulfilled by Amazon (none left now) and Smartfonestore charge £339 for a grade A (unmarked) 16GB model when in stock, although availability comes and goes.
I sold mine through EE's recycling scheme last week for £300, 9 months old and unmarked, and I was happy enough at that price for a straightforward sale with no comebacks.
I wish you good luck but I suspect you may be asking too much.

The Gumtree title says 16GB. Probably should be added to the description too as it's easily missed. I mentioned that earlier but forgot about it when looking at the ad

I agree though, £400 is probably a bit high for a 16GB. Worth trying though, not losing anything if it doesn't sell through there at that price.

I bought a 16gb black iPhone 5 for £360 on ebay so was really hoping to get that back tbh so i don't lose out.
