SmartPhone purchase from Ebay, Pros and Cons

Please read before Ebay purchase of a smartphone.

Pros:

You can save 15% to 35% off retail.

Cons:

Manufactures warranty will be void, evan if item is NIB.

You will not be able to buy ADH coverage and additional coverage from Ebays SmartTrade (for manufactures defects only, 2 years worth is about 75$)

The insurance company claims all smartphone purchases from non retail sources are high risk, thats why no ADH coverage.

You have to wait several days for delivery of item, unless you pay for overnight. Very $$$$

Wireless providers will look at you and treat you with suspicions of fraud or theft when you go to activate your purchase.

Even with Ebays buyers protection and the pay-pal system, it's still a hassle if something goes wrong. High Risk
