I know that i can but will i get hassle? last year i tried to sell my old mobile several times and each time at the last min it was bid up to ridiculous amounts by none paying new members that then unregistered. it was like it was a game. one i even got the address and phone number for and rang and asked if they were going to pay, it was a woman in ireland, fairly old who just said she's changed her mind. does anyone know why people do this? thankfully i got my listing fees back but it was as if they were working for ebay helping them make money. never had the problem with anything else. anyone know if it is likely tio happen again? I just don't understand it. its like i was selling animal fur or something controversial but it was just a blooming mobile!!

you can go into the seller protection bit and it puts certain restrictions on ie.. it can block people from bidding if they have,, lets say less than 10 positives etc etc.. Be aware from last month or may have been november,, if you send recorded or similar via royal mail, mobiles are no longer insured, so if you do post it say its something else and if it goes missing then at least your covered.

yup can but alot of people won't concider buying it because theses days people think and do put little chips in the phone and then sell them so they can trace calls and use the phone

it is amazing the tecnoligy theses tadays
its the same with computer people load virus on them then delete every thing so it looks clean then sell them but the virus is still on even if the buy get some one to clean the computer it can sum times still be there

but you can try selling it there is always those weak people out there that will buy buy and buy :)

I hope this helps you

P.S. personal I would not do this because your past phone calls, numbers and ID could still be on the phone
even when you think that they are not there!
but it it 100% up to you
but just remember the scams are big these days ( I think its some thing like 56% of americans get scamed once in life)

Well , since you are in charge of the Ebay auction ---- you can detemine pretty much, all the terms of the auction. Have your bidders preapproved by you and ...... state your previous experience on Ebay and .... keep in communication with new bidders. Delete any bidders that do no agree or comply with your terms.

It depends it is worth the hassle - you could just sell it to a company called Envirofone. Go to http://www.envirofone.co.uk.
