  If it was to me, i would expect you to send the phone first.
  
  There needs to be earned trust and someone with good feedback has earned that in my opinion. The buyer you were dealing with wasn't quite there yet. Either suck up the ebay fees or take a risk.

  can't you get them to pay via paypal? I'm not sure what level of protection that would give you but maybe it's better than simply sending the phone on it's own without payment.

  If you follow the rules you're taking less of a risk, but a risk regardless

  Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking its insane :)
  
  I don't care what feedback you have on here, you can easily set up a new account and run off with my phone :)

  There are some members here who have built themselves a good reputation with excellent feedback. I would have no hesitation in dealing with these people on that basis.
  
  However, whilst you can always try to cover yourself by getting address,landlines etc, there is a chance it could go wrong.
  
  Local pickup is one way round it. If you are not happy with a proposed deal, do not do it. But if you do not trust someone with say 100+ feedback, there is no way they would trust someone with a few/zero feedback.

  Sassie's point is that you expect someone to send you £400. You could easily run off with their money.

  With expensive items such as this I would agree with AD in respect of doing local pickup.

  Several members have managed to sort things out when a trade goes wrong, by either getting the item or a refund. Depending on how much effort you put in before/after the deal, there is always comeback.

  I was in the same boat with an iPhone 4s a little while ago, thankfully it got closed due to missing picture but all the same, I felt it was too bigger risk to send a phone which at the time was worth £600 RRP
  Appreciate it works both ways but in this climate, a highfeedback user could have gained high feedback from penny sweets
  
  Ended up selling at work - the twist is my eBay feedback is in the thousands but then theres the fees
  Catch 22

  Well the threat of the police knocking on anyone's door should put most normal people off, but there are quite a few insane people out there. The Police do take this theft seriously.

  Baz i have been here long enough and seen many things go wrong, even with higher feedback members let alone zero ones, and no way on this planet or the ops would i send £400 via any method, call me a cynic but at least i wont be a £400 down one
