How are you guys making the payment? I tried out but it says that the buyer does not accept payment from non-US paypal accounts.
There are some sellers who only ship to confirmed US address, dont order from them, but plenty of people out there who ship to US/canada only and do not mention that they will ship only to confirmed addresses.
Bid / buy from such auctions, use your S&S/NYbox/ICCworld address as your primary shipping address and make payment from ebay itself, payment will go through from your paypal account with seller receiving your US address as shipping address (though it will be unconfimed address, but most sellers wont bother with it as long as your paypal account is verified. Indian paypal accounts are verified by adding your credit card on file with paypal ).
And thats it. Both you and him are completely covered by paypal.

Did you order screen protector with the phone or bought locally?
I have ordered it through eBay.com directly...hopefully it won't get stuck at the customs :S
Ebay.com only. I actually ordered it a week before I ordered the phone so I received it roughly same time as the phone.
Small things like screen protector does not get stuck in customs, but do take couple of weeks to arrive using general post.

I dont get it, why do you need to pay someone for the unlock codes, cant you get the codes on the net or am I missing something here??
You have to pay for network unlock code. There is no such thing as free unlock code for most mid-budget to high end phones anymore. Those days are long gone. Occasionally there comes a phone where unlock code is stored on the phone itself and you can retrieve it like some samsung phones released last year, but for most phones, you must buy unlock codes to unlock them to work on any gsm carrier.
