Eh, with the higher price international bidders are willing to pay, I'll eat it. Worldwide shipping is only $17 through USPS. I know eBay and PayPal fees will run me about $15 too. If I can get at least $300 for it (which I think/hope I should be able to), I don't mind paying those costs too much. I still have $50 Apple credit from the price-drop, so I'm just looking to negate most of the cost of a new iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

If you sold your iPhone on ebay how much did you get for it and where did it go?

thanks! yeah, i think the initial fees to post the auction alone were $8.50, and i haven't looked at the final fees considering the actual sale price yet. paypal already took about $12. bastards!
when i posted the auction (i use garagesale) and saw the fee estimate, it reminded me of why i'd stopped selling stuff via ebay so much. i know that they need to make some money, but the combined fees for ebay and paypal (particularly now that ebay owns paypal) are just ridiculous. i see an angry email from me to them in the very near future...
My 3-month-old 16 GB sold with a Buy It Now for $519 + shipping. It sold within an hour at that price. It had a small dent on the upper left corner (which I described and had pictures of in my auction). I'm pleased, but will really miss having it before the new one comes out! It is going to Florida.
I do have my old Treo to fall back on. It's not too awful. At least it has Google Maps and the internet (sort of...I guess I should call it 1/2 of an internet with such a small screen)!

Very Stupid Question about selling iPhone
If I want to sell my "old" iphone on ebay (quickly obviously)... I am gathering that you do not need to cancel your plan. How do you take your plan (and phone number) with you to the new iphone. Do you just pop out the SIM card and sell it on ebay with no SIM and then pop it into the new iPhone? How do we know that the new iPhone will even take the same SIM card?
Sorry for the stupid questions...

Sold my 8GB with a cracked screen for $250 to Italy

I started my Unlocked 8GB iPhone with V-Moda Vibe Duos for a 3 day auction yesterday, and I started it at .99 and it's only at 1.29 with only one watcher.
Should it be higher by now, or am I worrying over nothing, and do all the bidders attack at the last second?

Ok Good, That's encouraging.
I also allowed shipping to Canada as well to hopefully increase the bids.
Only USA and Canada for me.
I have a question. I sold my iPhone on eBay today for $421. +$30 for shipping to Barcelona, Spain. I understand the seller protection thing doesn't apply to international transactions...so what is the safest way to make sure I don't get screwed? I'm assuming just documenting everything? Getting a signature release, insurace, and tracking with USPS? Any advice to someone who is totally clueless?
I'd be very concerned... I usually just ship to the USA, but for my iPhone auction which is currently on going I decided to open up to Canada as well.
If I get screwed, I'm never going to allow international shipping on anything again.
Don't do it!
Experience has shown that there are many professional scammers operating in that particular country.
I had one trying to screw me out of a valuable Sony Vaio laptop recently. Even sent me forged eBay and PayPal emails suggesting that the money had been paid when no such thing had happened.
how long did u all have your auctions for? ive had a 3 day that ends in 24 hrs and its still only at 1.29
I sold my 16Gb iPhone today, used, for £340. eBay and Paypal charges are absurd. eBay charged £8 for the auction, and Paypal charged £12 for the processing. Great.
My iPhone is currently on sale...wish me luck
