You need PayPal and their are few seller for accepting credit card directly.

But its better to have PayPal protection.

You need to ask your cousin to purchase it on your behalf using his ebay id and credit card.

Bought a Photon from ebay.com. Anyone had any problems with sending sms? I am able to receive them, but not able to send them. I am with Airtel. Is this a hardware or software issue? Any Photon users with similar problem?

I guess your problem is with sms center number.

Try checking that.You can find that in message app settings->advanced setting

I have the Photon. GPRS and 3G works on Airtel and should do on any other GSM band. Use the the tweaker app to get your settings.

I have a few questions.

2) After winning the bidding what should we do, very confused about sns, icc etc.
3)How do we send money to the seller on ebay

[quote name='lavans4u']Hey please share experience with the photon 4G.

1.Display - Much better than my previous phone( Motorola Atrix 4G )

2.Speed - I really can`t comment on this. I only use my phone for calls, browsing. Hardly play any games or watch movies.

3.Battery - Lasts for a day on full wifi and 3G use.

4.Camera quality - Much better than the Atrix ( 5MP vs 8MP )

5.Music quality in IEM - See above

5.Build - Battery door is a bit flimsy. Not compact like the Atrix.

1.No need to create ebay.com account. You can use the same ebay india account to buy from US

2.After winning an auction. while making the payment add your SnS US address as the default shipping address.

3.You can pay by credit card or a via paypal .Depend on the seller. If its a paypal payment you can get help from TE members
