i hav a question is it true that all items sold on esato are basically based on trust? like if u bought a phone on esato u basically are trusting the person to send the phone?
and also wat can u do if such a situation does occur??

Yes, it is all based on trust and if something goes wrong basically you are f****d.
Make sure you look in the trusted sellers list (although I doubt this can be 100% safe tbh) and get the persons address and phone number before dealing.
Most boards work this way and people with a lot of trades under their belt will always ask you to send or pay first.

I always, always use RMSD whatever the cost of the phone. Some of the phones I sell go to a company that flog them abroad and they normally send you the paperwork for Recorded Delivery and pay you that cost, but now they are so used to me, they fill out Special Delivery paperwork instead and foot the bill for the £2 extra.
Talking of Ebay and postage charges, I saw one phone where they wanted £20 for postage and then an EXTRA £7 for optional insurance! I was so incensed, I fired them off an email about highway robbery and they came back apologising and saying it was a mistake and they meant £7 in total. Unfortunately, there are some idiots who will pay this and that's what they bank on. One seller even said that to me.
Use SD for that £500 insurance whatever the buyer says, I say, it also makes it easier when filing a claim because you at least have a signature, time of receipt etc. It's money well spent.

RMSD should only cost you £4.05 for a standard phone, but can cost you up to £20 as i found out while sending a few phones up north!
