back in may i purchased a new unwanted upgrade note from fleabay,have had no probs until this weekend when it suddenly stopped working....i rang my service provider o2 who informed me that the phone has been barred citing that its been reported lost/stolen.......tried paypal,not interested, tried ebay,not even replied, tried the seller, he just said you can try getting your money back from me but its been over 90 days so you have no chance, and anyway i could be trying to scam him.....of course i'm always ringing my providers getting my own phone blocked....so lesson learned, i have bought/sold 20 odd phones over the years on ebay, but never again.
