Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / November 2004Selling Phones on Ebay
What should I look out for? My girlfriend recentley got an unwanted phone as an upgrade but she took it anyway as it was offered to her as she thought she could make a bit of cash on it. The new sim has been registered with Orange but she's thinking of flogging the handset on ebay as it's never been used. Do you have to inform the network that you are doing this due to ways in which the phone will be abused and the IMEI number could be traced back to you? Any other tips? Thanks  SignaturePull the SIM out and let it rip. Just that simple. Only issue is if it the phone is locked to ORANGE or not. That needs to be said in the listing, or you could have a transaction nitemare. > What should I look out for?

Also, state in your auction "this auction is available to UK buyers only" OR "I will NOT sell to Nigeria, any other buyers welcome!" Nigerians will bid on your auctions for more than they're worth, send you a cheque for too much money, and request that you refund the difference, meaning when their cheque bounces even tho it appears not to have after the 4/5 working days then you're out of pocket. Otherwise, mention as much stuff as possible about the phone, sell it! >> What should I look out for?

You can set the preference on the auction not to allow bidders from Nigeria (or indeed any other country) Brian > >> What should I look out for?

Similarly they pay with a legit card, recieve the phone and say they don't want it, yu must give the refund, they rsend you an empty box properly tracked through a respectable shipping firm. Game over! In fact, just don't accept paypal! HTH HAND >> >> What should I look out for?

Also, what's the alternative to PayPal - cheques can apparently bounce many days/months after the apparent success.

I suggested it so she knows exactly what shes getting or she gets her money back - simple Chris P Bacon > What should I look out for?
