hi am thinking of buying a unlocked or orange/vodafone locked Nokia N95 on ebay as soon as my phone is sold. However looking to spend around £300 and don't want to get stung with a scammer or anything like that. Any telltale signs or any advice people could give me
?
thanks
Jack

Very good advice that, N95 is premium scamming fodder on ebay right now, i know two guys that have been had recently.
Grind out a good deal with a respected somebody on here!!

If you really are determined to get one off E-Bay you need to remember if it's to good to be true it is likely to be a scam.
Buy from some one that has been a member for quite a while a year is a good sign a month isn't, and has lots of positive feed backs for similar priced items 50 positives for goods all costing less that £5 doesn't inspire confidence.
Try and buy from a seller that has the £500 Pay Pal protection and don't rely on them saying this it needs to be below their user id, as at least this way if you pay with Pay Pal and it goes wrong you will get paid out.
But if you can find one here from a trusted trader the extra £20 odd IMO is worth the peace of mind.

I bought my n95 off ebay about 2 weeks after it came out for £350 and it was an o2 handset with the 1gb memory card. I had no problems and it arrived the next day, however i did only bid on sellers with 98%+ feedback and at least 1 year of trading. Not everyone on ebay is a scammer quite the opposite in fact imo.

Yup I know ive learn't thru bad mistakes with the fake N 91 etc
I bought a BNIB N95 on T-Mobile last friday the auction said it was unlocked when I get it yesterday it's locked on T-Mobile the seller swears she's had it unlocked she's got the proof,
however she is gunna pay me back any unlocking fee If I can get it unlocked myself, thing is T-Mobile can only do this atm!
My Seller had 10% feedback at 100%
I knew I was taking a risk but everything turned out fine
if buying one make sure the seller is 100% no bad comments on there feedback etc..
Goodluck
