Hi, thanks for info so far. A big help. No, I'm not new to Ebay. I've never ever had trouble with any sale. My feedback score is very good. It's just that I'm selling this lovely unused iphone and a bidder with ONE feedback only (!?) has bid to£550. People have been telling me about scamming tricks, eg sending me back another phone or putting another item in there. they complain to Ebay, Paypal reimburses them all their sales money and they get to keep the phone. This sort of fraud never even crossed my mind and I'm sitting here with my stomach churning. I have taken photos of the seral number on the box etc etc and lots of photos but the phone itself is brand new. If I have no funds for Paypal to draw on how does Paypal reimburse the buyer? I will take the claim to the small claims court if I have to but my goodness what a horrible stressful time that will be. Is there NOTHING an innocent seller can do to protect against such a scam? Sorry for going on about it but I've never come across this before....
