Ebay has a new thing that they dont release the funds until you have shipped it, and the tracking # that you provided shows delivered.

Go to Paypal.com and look at the transaction, it will say if its "OK to Ship" or not
it doesnt say ok or not ok

Tips on selling an iPhone on eBay
« Reply #123 on: November 01, 2012, 04:25:58 PM »
Anybody have any tips on selling an ATT iPhone 5 on eBay? I'm due for an upgrade, and don't need the iPhone 5, but I see it being hocked on eBay for $900 or more! If I buy the iPhone 5, is there any problem with ATT and my service if I turn around and sell it? I could always use the $700 profit! That being said, it's really my wife that's up for an upgrade, and her screen is cracked, so I could sell the iPhone 5, and then buy her an iPhone 4 and still have money left over. But how does this all work so i don't end up with any problems.

thanks!

Daniel

Try craigslist, with eBay $900 you'll walk away with around $700

Is that the reason why they're going for $900on ebay, because they're out of stock?  What should I expect in 2-3 weeks once it shows up? Will the prices drop?

And what about the technical issues, will I have any trouble selling it and replacing her phone with something else?

Okay, found a local ATT store that has the iPhone 5, 64 gb, white or black in stock.  I'm willing to pick it up and resell it for the right price. Let me know if you're interested, how much and how soon you can pay. I can get it and ship it out today from Cleveland. I can also sell it pretty quickly on eBay as well, so please no low ball offers.

thanks.

Just a tip, dont ship it internationally without proper coverage. For such an item i wouldnt even risk international shipping.
Just to clarify what was already said above, the advantage of CL over ebay is there are no fees!
