I've tried all the options of blocking certain bidders etc but if they hack a valid UK account how are you supposed to tell lol?

its a nightmare buddy, i know loads of people who have hassle, my mate sold his, worked fine, not stolen, sold it to some guy, 2 weeks later reported to ebay that it was stolen, they gave him a refund as they favoured the buyer, he recieved the phone back, (not the same phone), ended up losing both phone and money for it. so be careful, the phone he got back was same make and model but a nicked one

Ah great lol

So even if it does go it could come back as nicked!

Guess I may have to hassle mates to buy it instead or just keep the sodding thing to save any bother (not that anyone should have to do that when a perfectly good cause like ebay is in place to sell items )

Gits I say, all of em'

ive had trouble too. but ive got rid of a few on ebay by blocking non UK bidders and buyers with feedback -1 or less. dont put a buy it now price as the scammers seem to take advantage straight away. other than that its still a lottery - good luck!

Might be a good idea to put the serial number of the phone in the listing or at least part of it, to put the scammers off yours and then move onto soemone elses.
