Hi all, not sure what section this should go in so thought I would try here.
I am a regular Ebay buyer (weakness for watches) but haven't sold anything on there for a long time & then only low value stuff. I have a cell phone I want to sell but I keep seeing posts about sellers being scammed & I wondered if anyone could give me any tips on how to avoid this please?
The phone in question is a Nokia Arte Sapphire & when they come up usually fetch between £300/400 used, & I just can't afford to lose that to a scammer.
Thanks in advance...........
