I suggest you check with PayPal and eBay (eBay own PayPal). PayPal, I think so please check with them, can retract a payment.

I bought my P800 on eBay from a reputable trader. She had sold many mobile phones before and her history looked sound.

Just so you know, I bought am item on ebay, used paypal, got ripped off(no item) and never received a refund or any kind of feedback from either company that made me feel that they cared about it. Just my exprerience.

I have excellent experiences.

However, if something is wrong... paypal uses your credit card for payment. If the items are not delivered, get the money back straight from your credit card company! They will help you.

I read somewhere that they do cover you. But you must pay with Paypal throu ebay! so when you buy an item and click on the pay now button throu Ebay. cause you can pay someone with Paypal not thro ebay! Understand!

Oh and the cover limit is not much! I dont think it is as much as what the p800 is worth!
