If nothing get announced about next iPhone I plan on buying a new iPhone from the bay.

Anything I should be aware of? When does the warranty start on these when you activate them within in iTunes?

Should I be asking the seller when/if they have activated it on iTunes?

Cheers reading

Personally my self I wouldnt do it. But with all things on the bay check for good feeback, good description, if the price is to good to be true it genreally is and if buy it now has anyone bought one already?

Becuase it's darn good, New ip4 for 460.

Why oh why do people not read the protection agreements, buy from zero rated and don't follow rules, then blame eBay.

Zero rated is obvious but care to share the rules?

Seen a few going for 420 still sealed etc sim lock free
 
When I bought mine last summer I just looked for the cheapest, made sure it was compatible with my network, and checked the seller feedback. Got the phone a few days later in perfect condition. Just be sensible.
 
I got my IP4 from ebay, no problems at all. I will also sell it on ebay providing the IP5 or IP4S is a decent enough upgrade.
 
So basically not stupidly cheap, seller with good feedback and confirmed paypal address. How do these guys manage to see iPhones X amount cheaper than i store and other obvious outlets...
 
I bought from eBay (iphone4) for £310

Yes...it was too good to be true. It was mint but had been claimed against on insurance.

The frustrating thing was that it was above board but I believe the ex boyfriend claimed against it when he found out she was selling.

Got money back no problem ( went round to their house )

same here


and ive used ebay for many many other expensive items , usually because i save money but sometimes because they arent available elsewhere. never had any problems
 
Unless they report it after getting feedback and that.

I'd just not touch eBay - forums are far better for buying phones on, simply because I find I can trust people I've been speaking with online (sometimes in person if you ever go to meets), they're cheaper and easier to talk with if something's wrong.

Agreed. Also bought an iPhone 4 with no problems. It's all about being sensible and remembering that, if it looks too good to be true, 95% of the time it is. The losses you can make chasing the other 5% make it a bad bet :)

no they wont, I had issues with paypal once, they refused to refund me over a non-delivery, Barclays contacted paypal and got the money back.. then paypal took it back again and Barclays couldnt do anything...

I've sold all my previous Iphones on ebay without any issues, it doesnt matter if its been activated before, re-flash it and its back as new...
