I was wondering how can u trust a foreign seller. What he he sends u a damaged phone or not even a phone at all? Im talking about the postal method when u pay when picking up the package. Is there a way to be sure of the integrity of the package? I dont want to get suckered because money is VERY IMPORTANT to me, not having much.

If your using ebay then you get a good idea by looking through feedback, if your buying some other way you can use an escrow service if your worried, it may cost a little extra but you have the peace of mind.

If in doubt, leave it. There a lot of scams on Ebay concerning mobile phones at the moment. I assume you're talking of buying from Ebay?

U should ask that in Buzau, not in cnada.If u wanna send a package in Canada, it's quite expensive, over 20$.If from Canada to Ro, almost the same or even more.
Also, u gotta know that u can't receive ur package until u pay for it..and if it's nuthin' inside or the phone is damaged..u r stuck with it.I don't advise it..there r plenty of phones here.Of course, u have to come to Bucharest.

One more thing. Please please please don't be stupid enough to buy from someone with a stock picture of the phone. True they may not have a digital camera, but still, better to be safe.

Listen, he won"t buy from Us or Canada anyway, cuz the transport price is very high, it takes a month to get it (as here it goes thru customs) and...sure, all u can get for 200$ are a bunch of pictures and some emails ! haha
