if i bought a phone online and i didnt like it after a few days can i return it for a full refund ?

its a PAYG phone and i already have a simcard with credit/data allowance on it

would there be any issues with sending it back to CPW should i not like the phone ?

vodafone do a return if your not satisfied type thing -I have used it myself with no problems in the past

the phone is sim free so not tied to any network,im thinking the distance selling act will allow me to return the phone if im not happy ?

As long as it is returned as is I guess you'd be OK. As it's a PAYG why not just try it in a shop though?

The DSRs aren't intended to give you any more rights than you would have purchasing from a shop so theoretically it's not ok to purchase something then send it back just because you don't like it - however practically speaking it is quite common and you'd be unlucky to find a retailer that wouldn't allow returns on that basis. As Myshra says though why not just try it out in a shop first if you can that way it's less hassle for all involved.

But it does give you the right to remove the product from the packaging and have a play, just like in a shop. How long you could play with it and how it works when electronics that are registered on use. I have no idea and you would need to delve into the SoGA a little deeper.
