  • LOL.

    Yeah, the same reason to never buy any phones from ebay or anyone else where it becomes a ball ache to return it when you find it locked to the wrong provider or broken or something.

  • @TW

    So nothing beyond the usual horror stories I'd expect from dealing in the far east. If anyone has any first hand experience I'm interested to hear too, these companies can obviously be rather hit and miss...

    You guys seem to have opinions on this matter - will paying through PayPal provide any of the protection I would otherwise expect with a UK seller?

  • Buyers are generally well looked after with paypal but for me, the ball ache of having a shit phone or no phone and then waiting to argue with some arsehat about sending it back then waiting for my refund blah blah means I will always pay extra and buy my device from Amazon or direct from Google.

  • Pay with Paypal is my advice - I ordered one a while ago, was dispatched promptly, but without a name or house number on the parcel. DPD failed to tell me this and were even more useless than usual so I just stumped up the £10 more it was on Amazon at the time, and got my money back from Paypal.

    I think if they hadn't messed up the delivery details, or DPD hadn't been useless, it probably would have been fine
