Is it safe buying a iPhone 3 on eBay?

I'm thinking of buying a iPhone 3GS 8gb for around 60 bucks you think it's safe? Anyone ever got ripped off on a iPhone? I'm eBay or anything? I heard that's one of the worst places.

Don't trust ebay when buying a phone. I know someone who ordered a iphone5 from there and it turned out to be a copy of the iphone5 that doesn't even work

I wouldnt buy a used phone from there. I think amazon or play.com would be safer.

  • Is it safe to buy cheap iphone cases on ebay? (read description)? I found a case that I want for 40 bucks plus 10 dollar shipping, it is usually 124 dollars from the official site, the ebay user has a lot of feedback and it says he has a 100% positive feedback. Is it safe to buy this product? What are the chances of it being a fake? He has good reviews?
  • Is it safe to buy and iPhone 5 from Ebay? Anyway, I want to buy and iPhone 5, but my parents don't want to pay the full price for one, so they suggested that I should buy a used one… Well, I'm honestly fine with that, I don't really care, I just want to be sure that I don't end up wasting money or something… So like is it safe to fx buy one from Ebay.uk when I live in Denmark? ~C
