Hey Everyone that has been ripped off in a trade!

I was wondering if you trade a barred phone with sumone from a diff country - what can you do about it if u get ripped off?

Say from UK to Spain?

Just let it go? and be more careful next time?
Because it seems suss that everyone wants to swap mobiles, they are banned for a reason

best solution for buier is:
phone first - money after....

even if u receive the phone...but it's condition lacks, it is called cheating


but for seller is not good, also risky...will he receive the money or not? is the buyer trustable??

big dillema here:confused: :confused: :confused:

Best bet is to go to a 3rd party so one sends phone to him you send money to him and when both gets there he then pass it on, but hard this way but only safe way to do it apart from not doing it, any I have a guy in spain who will buy 83,63 and the like at £40 and 76,35 at £80.
