I have a LG Viewty Smart here with a 8 gig card and its had minor use, had it as a upgrade but got another contract and a Hero which i currently use, how safe is it to sell it on ebay ?, its a shame for it to sit here and not get used at all just want some money back for pc upgrade/ps3 .

I've used ebay to sell phones before and I've not had a problem. It is pretty pricey though as you get stung by ebay and Paypal (assuming you use them). On a phone selling for around £140 you should expect to pay £10 out in fees.

The other issue is that if you have less than 100 feedback then you won't get your money from Paypal until positive feedback has been left (or 2 weeks has past).

Something like a work intranet is a better place IMO.

Thats my problem i only got a 20 odd feedback only use ebay from time to time normally for guitar strings had me account 4-5years though.

Well sold it on Ebay in the end and it was effortless, Mazuma for example offering £85 sold it on ebay for £190 with postage the chap has payed and left positive feedback and is very happy with the phone, with postage and fees i ended up with £170 very happy with that.
