I wouldn't chance Facebook or ebay. Even when buying from amazon make sure it's dispatched and sold by amazon. Also make sure it's a UK device.

Amazon is a bit pricey like Ebay but on Facebook it's quite bit cheap there but not that cheap

I would not trust Facebook Marketplace or ebay for Mobile Devices/Electronics. As mentioned should only consider Amazon Direct and do some checks.

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

I'm sure many have a positive experience when purchasing a phone that way, however we do see posts where people have had a bad experience due to a multitude of reasons.

Personally I'd say buy from Samsung.com or a Highstreet Store such as Argos Uk or Hohn Lewis Uk or similar @Stormz

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Not on either I would say.

Personally I agree with the others here, avoid Facebook / eBay and Amazon Marketplace.

If you decide to buy from any of these though, what are your risks?

You pay cash
You have the S23 Ultra
A few days later the seller "MAY" report the device as lost / stolen and claim on their insurance.
Insurer contacts Samsung - phone is locked.
Seller gets their money back or a replacement device.
You get NOTHING except an expensive door stop.

It really isn't worth the risk.

@Stormz hi, personally I wouldn't recommend any of these why? Back in the day when I used to work as part time in phone repair shops people was bringing phones bought from amazon as refurbished or Ebay or even marketplace from Facebook so let's say you buy s24 ultra from Facebook marketplace owner has insurance on the phone reports in as lost/stolen and your phone gets blacklisted while they get brand new phone same as Ebay people do sketchy stuff. I would suggest you go straight to samsung and order from them, or go as mentioned in high street retailers. Be really careful buying of the people specially from places like Ebay or Facebook marketplace.
