Which Model are you getting?

I’ve just had a look on Fleabay and the prices for a 128 gb unlocked iPhone 12 START at the £500 mark, which means I‘ll get significantly higher on there than the £519 Argos are offering!

I may go down this road now and keep the Argos deal as a back up seeing that its valid for 21 days!
Do not forget, you will lose about 12% of the total. About £60 on a &500 sale, eBay and PayPal fees.

Another Mini for me. I've spent the last month with a 12 Pro, but all its done has confirmed to me that I prefer having a small iPhone over the better cameras in a much larger device.

I don’t have an eBay notification for £3 selling fees. Is there a way to activate this?
I don't receive emails from eBay anymore, I would checked your messages in the eBay app /site. I've Looked just now and I had a 80% fees dated 3rd to 6th September.

Nothing for this weekend though for me at least.
 
I'm thinking of changing my colour last minute, from blue to the silver.......
Ive always purchased the silver/white handsets previously - I feel the colours don't look as 'classy' and 'business-like'. Hence may get the white/silver and colour up a case instead, which can be easily changed as and when!!

Hopefully I get to the chance to change the colour without having to go through all the finance stuff again....
Pretty sure you can change the colour, just not the capacity (because then the price and so loan amount would be higher). I did this last year before I checked out.

I completed the reserve preorder yesterday, when orders go live at 1Pm, will the iPhone i selected be in my basket? I’m guessing because I selected Apple Pay, it will just let me go to checkout straight away?

When the store opens you should just get a message on there telling you complete the order. If it was anything like last year, it was really easy
 
Just found out my work have a 20% corporate EE discount, apparently it's only for new contracts and not for upgrades. Anyone else got a similar scheme and code it working on an upgrade?
If this is perk? Then it does work for upgrades just not if you are on the annual upgrade program and want to trade in after a year.

it works on all sim only deals and if you are starting a new contract with them
 
I don't want the hassle. Even though the handset is mint etc, there are some ****** buyers out there!! I'm gonna stick with MM and send it in this weekend - less hassle.
Very true. I lost my XS to a buyer who used VPN to make payment via Paypal and then clamied he never made that purchase and requested payment recall via his credit card company. Luckily Paypal CS picked up the scent and helped me. Was out of pocket by £700 and an iPhone lol.
 
Yes, eBay split from PayPal on the 1st June this year. eBay now charge 12.8% of the selling price including delivery rather than 10% plus PayPal fees they used to. I’ve no idea how that fits in with the £3 selling fees, though worth checking to see if it only applies up to a certain sale price.

Only NHS or Blue Light works on phone upgrades now. Perks at work only restricted to new contracts.

Edit: Even Blue Light are not giving 20% off to existing customers 😮 955B5DEA-6D02-4A8B-A85E-079ED309D792.png

Morning all. Considering leaving the IUP this year and going via O2 who my sim is with anyway. Not gone through a carrier since the 6+ Will they release tariff info before 1pm or when the phone launches ? If the tariffs aren’t great I’ll stay on the IUP. Thanks.

When was this change? the only time where I was told perk can’t be used was if you were still in a contract but if your due an upgrade perk discount would still work.understandability won’t work if you want to upgrade after a year
