i initally bought one on ebay on the 15th for ~$210 on ebay after the 30% cashback. here i sit today still without a phone. seller shipped via usps parcel post, which says 2-9 days. after looking online about parcel post, it seems it can be nitorously slower than that. after the auction i won, he's sold 27 more diamonds, 5 of which have left neg. feedback. so if he's scammin, that's a lot of $$. i'm hoping it's just usps. but just in case, yesterday i bought another one for ~$230 with overnight shipping via usps. should be here tuesday. hopefully.

5 buyers leave negative feedback, and you still gave him your money????

Any time you buy/sell anything of any value, it is highly recomended that you use a shipping service with tracking such as UPS. In fact, PayPal requires online tracking AND delivery/signature confirmation for purchases over $200...

I highlighted the part you must have skipped.

He probably paid right away also.

No problem..I hope he get's his money back also. Too bad he didn't buy it from me, he would have it by Friday.

yeah, i bid on his first (and only at the time) auction of 3 diamonds. had all positive feedback before hand. i did get a delivery confirmation # from him. again, from reading online, DC it's not a tracking # too and most of the time is only updates once it's delivered. first and last time i'll use parcel post. i plan on filing a claim here in a few days.

This guy is doing upgrades only for current customers for $175. Are any of those eBay discounts still available?
I'm really short on cash now and this sounds pretty reasonable.
