Hi all,

Long time reader first time poster! :D

Reason I finally decided to sign up was to ask the vast group of users here on their opinion on buying iPhone 4S lots from eBay. The seller wants to use buyer/seller protection but I'm not so confident. Here is an old listing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-5-Apple...5&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101#ht_1540wt_1219

If makes me wonder why a seller of biking equipment would be selling iPhones PLUS he said he would ship from Scotland.

Am I safe if I use buyer protection? Or is there any other way to gain a bulk amount (around 5 or so) after launch?

We won't be getting them here in New Zealand till December and the prices they charge here are insane. Many friends of mine have asked to see what I can organise.

Really appreciate your help!
Cheers
Chris
 
Have you seen this:
"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

Me thinks its a scam.
 
Yeah I do too. But I am 60% sure its a scam, 40% not. It's so hard to decide what to do
