is this ebay vendor ok?

Just ordered a spare SID mod off him/her for £16 which is a good price but still?

Nothing dodgy I hope and pray though know I take a huge risk with flea bay

Looks legit to me Jane

Ebay is a much safer place to buy nowadays but a risky place to sell, most disputes go in favour of the buyer.

Mate of mine sold a phone on there, signed for delivery to be safe, the buyer emailed him to say that it arrived with a broken screen, so my mate said OK send it back and I'll refund the postage.
He didn't send it but opened a dispute, which he won even though my mate proved that he'd offered a refund, upshot is that the buyer DIDN'T return it, Paypal refunded the buyer (and took the money from my mate), then 2 days later the buyer put the phone up for sale on Ebay, strangely with a non broken screen

Couldn't you mate have phoned the Police? I'm pretty sure that's technically theft.

Q

Your mate should have bought the phone back and pulled the same stunt
