    I have sold a few phones on ebay and its almost always people with zero rating and newly joined who cause the most problems so I say in the listing to contact me if you have a rating below 10 or newly joined. Also I would never dream of sending to an unconfirmed paypal address!

    I had one very shifty buyer who offered to sell the phone back to me for half what he had just paid to buy it off me!
  • I'll probably get abuse for saying this, but have a look at the buyers house on Google Streetview to gain an impression of their 'lifestyle'
    I did this once and the guy was outside his house on google maps swinging on the gate swigging lager from a can.
