eBay works closely with the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit (a part of the Metropolitan Police Service) to eliminate the sales of such items. We have collaborated to create the following guidelines to help you have a safe and successful experience when buying or selling a mobile phone on eBay.
It's a criminal offence to sell a stolen mobile phone or to have the handset / SIM card un-blocked without authorisation from the phone manufacturer. Such listings will be removed from the site as they are in breach of our policy on Encouraging Illegal Activity.
To reassure buyers that your mobile phone is legitimate, the police recommend that you get a checkMEND certificate. checkMEND is a database of lost and stolen property and a certificate will show that you have verified that the item that you are selling is not stolen. There is a small fee for this service.
Be ready to provide potential buyers with the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number (serial) of the mobile phone you’re selling. They may use this to search the checkMEND database if you haven’t provided a certificate. You can get this number by typing in *#06# on the handset or looking inside the phone where the SIM card is housed.
Be prepared to answer questions from buyers. They’ll want to be reassured that the item is yours to sell (or whether you’re selling on behalf of someone else), why you’re selling it, and if you operate as a business seller, your location, company number or whether you have shops on the high street.
To save time answering buyers questions, you could create a list of frequently asked questions, which will be displayed to buyers when they click on the Ask Seller a Question link from your item listing. You’ll be able to display up to 15 FAQs as well as any questions (and answers) that you’ve already posted in your listing. To customise your Ask Seller a Question page, go to your Preferences in My eBay. In the Selling Preferences section, click on "Show" next to "Ask Seller a Question". From there, click simply click "Edit" and begin customising.
To minimise the risk of buying a stolen mobile phone there are some basic steps to take. Many of these steps are those that we would recommend as part of any eBay purchase and some of them are things that the police recommend that you should do:
Read the item description very carefully and make sure that you know exactly what you’re buying. If you’re unsure, ask the seller to explain the description. They are normally very happy to help you if it means they will get a sale
Search the text of the listing for words such as “barred” or “blocked”. You can do this in your browser by pressing CTRL and F together and searching the text – the words can be hidden in long streams of product information in the hope that you won’t spot them. If the words appear, report the listing to eBay Customer Services straightaway.
You can now search online databases, such as the checkMEND database, to see whether a phone you want to buy has been reported as lost or stolen. It is recommended that you search the databases using the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI serial) or checkMEND certificate number (where provided by the seller) for the mobile phone you want to buy. If the seller has provided a checkMEND certificate, it’s free for you to view this online.
If you are at all suspicious of the authenticity of a mobile phone listing, you can get more information at the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit website. It has more advice and information about the problem of stolen mobile phones. You can also have a look at the NMPCU’s About Me page.
Ask the seller questions – make sure that it is their’s to sell, ask them why they are selling and if they are a business ask them where they are based, whether they have shops or what their company number is. Unscrupulous sellers will tend not to answer such questions or their answers will be evasive. You can even ask for the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of the mobile phone.
If you are buying, make sure that you are paying with PayPal. It is a much more secure way of paying on eBay than any other because it offers purchase protection to buyers. If anything does go wrong, using PayPal means that we’ll have the seller’s contact details (address, financial details), so will be able to work with law enforcement to track the seller.
If you’ve bought a second-hand mobile phone, check the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number by typing in *#06# on your handset or looking inside the phone where the SIM card is housed. This is a unique code that is used to identify an individual “GSM” mobile telephone on a “GSM network”. By keeping the 15-digit code safe, you can immobilise your phone if it is stolen, which will mean that the handset can no longer be used on any network.
You can use sites such as Immobilise.com to record your IMEI number online. By registering the number with Immobilise.com, the police can track you down if your phone is stolen and is handed in or recovered from criminals.
Buying a mobile phone is not an easy task. Sometimes you make mistakes that you regret later on, as you try to get a mobile phone but fail to judge if it’s worth buying. By the way, just buying what is popular is not always a good idea. I have made this guide for you guys, so you can consider these things and buy the best phone in market. This will surely help you to buy a mobile that you will never regret later on.
Price: Teens don’t earn their money. But love to have a fully loaded media mobile phone. Teens should consider their budget. Not everyone can buy an expensive mobile phone. See you budget range and then list out the mobile phones available in that range.
Structure Form: Mobile phones are basically available in three forms, Candy Bar, Slider and Flip. Candy bar has a drawback that if you don’t keep your keypad locked then you might be accidently dialing a call to your aunt in USA. In this case Slider and Flip are better as there keypad is not exposed. They are also of small size and more stylish. Teens mostly like small and stylish phones, so if you want to keep your phone in your tight jeans pockets, I would opine for Slider and Flip is what you should go for.
GreenwareSound Attributes: Teens usually love to buy mobile phones with built-in Walkman. Phones – that can play any media. So go for a phone that has good sound quality with clarity. Volume control option and also Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Technology so your comfort level can be increased. See where the speaker is fitted and what sound enhancements it has. The best position for the speaker is either sideways. Also look if you can find a phone with a headphone jack.
Memory: Memory is a big issue. In present time, no one wants a 64 MB phone because as it can’t store all the digital media we gather daily. Look for a phone with maximum build in memory. Also see if it can use a memory card. Phones that use a common memory card format is better, so you can also use that memory card in another phone. Micro SD card phones are preferable.
Camera: We all love to take pictures. And wish to have a phone that can take good quality pictures. Look for a good mobile phone with a nice camera fitted. But just don’t rely on the mega pixels. Because the mechanics and color processing chips used in camera are also important. First try out and take pictures from different cameras and then choose one of them. Because sometimes a 2 mega pixel camera gives you better resolution result than a 3 mega pixel camera.
Keypad: Look for a phone with nice keypad that does not have extra large buttons or extra small buttons. Teens love to do messaging, so a comfortable keypad is necessary. Go for a keypad that is easy to use and try it out first before buying.
Connectivity: See what connectivity options are available. If you get more than three, than you must be lucky. See for a Bluetooth which can be paired to maximum devices at a time. Also Infra Red is not that old, so if you get it than it’s a plus point. USB 2.0 is a must thing, so that you can transfer data speedily. If you surf internet a lot and love to stay connected with your folks all the time then go for a 3G phone. But it’s rentals are quite high. Otherwise go for a Wi-Fi, with what you can also use VoIP software to make calls (like Skype).
Screen Attributes: For Businessmen selecting a user-friendly screen is must. Simple screen with no goodies or the mighty Touch Screens. For Businessmen touch screens are preferable. Touch screens offer 2 types, using a stylus and using your bare fingers. Stylus is good for people who use their phones as PDA’s, and need to take notes during meetings. It is also good for hand writing recognition. But if you don’t need to take notes and rather want to surf the web than go for the touch screens which use bare fingers because using stylus sometimes can be tidy. Also go for a large screen, so everything is neatly displayed. Furthermore, if you are constantly on the move than go for a mobile phone that performs well under sunlight. Because most phone’s don’t perform good.
Operating System: It is a very important attribute that on what OS your phone runs. It could be a Windows Mobile, Symbian OS or Apple’s proprietary OS which runs on a Unix platform. Looks are important, some OS give a nice and easy looks, but some are complicated to use. Also some OS let you operate many applications, but others just don’t. So it depends on your usage. Check different OS phones and see which suites you best. Symbian OS is good as it lets you to operate many applications.
Applications: Before buying your phone, first see if there are enough applications available for it. These could be manufacturer made applications or third-party ones. Look if your desired applications are available in market and are of good quality.
Battery: Businessmen make and receive calls excessively. You don’t want to end up with exhausted battery when you are in the middle of nowhere. So go for a phone with good battery standby time and which performs well. Check different phones and also discuss with others. You will definitely end up with a good battery timing phone.
Functionality: See what extra function a phone has. Does it support voice-recognition, so you can easily make calls without typing in the number, and also other functions that can be handy in daily life.
Easy to use: General user mostly wants a phone that is easy to use and it’s not complicated. Many people don’t understand the complexities of new generation phones. So just go for a simple phone. With no burden of these applications and other stuff.
So thats all folks. I hope these guild lines will be of any help to you, so you can choose the best mobile phones. If you feel that more things should be considered, just share with us through comments.
