Returning iPhone 6 to AT&T vs selling on Ebay

right now you can ebay a phone for 5$, till I think 10/6, so list it now and you won't have too many fees. You should be able to get more like 400-450$ for a nice 6

I can find nothing about this ebay deal. Can you shed more light on this?

Returning to AT&T also means you keep your accessories.

If I had an easy local sale for cash for more money, I'd do it. But no way am I risking an ebay auction to maybe make $100. Ebay is hostile towards sellers and the iPhone is the biggest scammed item you can find there.

Can you confirm that you can keep accessories with AT&T next? It looks like they just want the phone in a padded envelope, which just doesn't seem right to me.

It's pretty standard with these trade-in programs. It's buried somewhere in the stuff they send you.

As I suspected its by invitation only. If you did not receive the email, you can't get the deal.

Don't do eBay. Craig's List some other way. But avoid eBay. Too many scams and their terms of service are very anti-seller.

+1 against ebay. with ebay you can end up without your iphone and money. Somebody just dispute that you sent an empty box, you loose your money. ebay is anti-seller nowdays. "Client is always right" .

Sold my 6 for $350 cash to a friend. No way in hell would I risk eBay. Everyone who likes eBay hasn't been scammed by a buyer....yet.

I've sold all my stuff on ebay and no issues. iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, expensive cameras.

Hence the "....yet."
