bought a iphone 4 from ebay...

Also chances are phone could be stolen. The guy would report it 45 days after you buy it so you're not protected ?

theres no way they are sending that for so cheap...

it will either be a scam or the buyer will cancel the auction claiming they lost or broke the item and then relist it properly with pics etc.

Sounds too good to be true.... but I guess paypal usually sides with the buyer so worth a shot.

they do and they dont

if the money has been taken out of the sellers account then paypal dont refund you.

it too fell for a hijacked account scam some years ago and it took my bank giving paypal loads of grief for me to get the money back

"Bluetooth, Colour Screen, Email / Web, GPRS, GPS, Java enabled"

The java enabled bit just makes me think of the airphone 4

Just what I was thinking - why sell for £250 on Ebay when you can get £335 hassle free on Envirofone?

im pretty sure he didnt intend to sell for so cheap but for some reason the auction only had about 6 views. somethings gone wrong somewhere and i imagine he will just not send

He doesn't sell a lot on Ebay does he... last feedback August 2010 and only four 'sales' in 2010.

Hope it all turns out OK for you, but it does sound VERY cheap to me!

Do keep us updated, won't you!

If it seems to good to be true, then leave it. That's the way to go on EBay.

If it's too good to be true....

C'mon, it's time to turn on the common sense.

BLATANT SCAM!

Oh God, I bet it's the Airphone 4.

sbi5ar · 13 Jan 2011 at 11:42

Just out of curiosity.... Why is it locked?? I thought apple won't let networks lock their phones? (i might be wrong)
