Can I trust ebay to send me an iPhone 5?

I have been looking to buy an iPhone 5 and found ebay is the cheapest place to do it. It's about £350, can I trust people with decent feedback records to send it?

Yes because your going to get your money back from ebay if you report that they didn't send it or it didn't work if you didn't agree to non working iphone.

If they have decent feedback records, then yes. Look out for the 'padlock' symbol before the URL on top of the page, the padlock symbol means you can trust your details with someone so they wouldn't steal your money, and probably not con you either.

I'm sure if you don't receive your iPhone 5 like expected, ebay is a well known company and it would be most definitly illegal for someone to be opening scandals there. Also, I believe that if you don't receive your product then you can report this to your retailer and demand your money back, which ebay would have to give you.

Do you have an iPhone 4? You can trade it in at tmobile and it'll cover most of the charge to get the phone which is like $150, then they'll charge you about $20 each month until you pay it off. Or you can pay $150 and get the phone. That's how I got my phone. If you prefer eBay then yes you can trust it. If you don't receive the product they will pay you back. Check out tmobile though its a very good deal for a brand new iPhone 5. Oh and you can transfer your current number to your new phone so it's a win.

EBay doesn't send you the phone, the eBay seller who is selling it does.

If they don't send it you have up to 45 days after you pay to file a dispute saying you didn't receive it and if they can't provide delivery confirmation you automatically get your money back. However, this usually takes several days or even a couple weeks for them to review the case, but you'll get refunded if they don't pay as long as you file the case within 45 days.
