Have you considered buying a used phone?
There are some pretty good deals on ebay.
Chances of getting scammed are bigger. No, thanks
I’m not sure what experience you’ve had but eBay does quite well on buyer protection. Same goes for Swappa. Can’t speak for either website in non-US countries though
Are you speaking from experience?
No, I didn't purchase any used phones online. I've seen some posts about used phones being locked. Even if I get a refund, I still lose money.
How are you losing money if you get a refund?
For the shipping fee. It's usually paid, I think.
I've only bought 1 phone new (and regretted it). Buying used is the only way I'll buy phones anymore, or any tech for that matter. Never got scammed.
They are bigger than buying a brand new phome, of course. Stillabysmally low if you do it correctly, and even in that case every service now protects both the buyer and the seller
