eBay
I have always had good experiences with eBay and paypal and always got what I ordered except when I bought a car.......... Which is a complete different story.

i sold my car on ebay to this canadian guy just last month. This dude from canada drove all the way to nyc to pick it up, guy was cool as hell, he brought his wife with him. He said "before we do business we eat" and i agreed, took me out to an awesome french restaurant for dinner then had some drinks and closed the deal. I had some crappy ebay experiences but in the long run it evens out, it's all about karma.

Just so you guys know, buying accesories for your phone is much cheaper on e-bay. I got a desktop charger and a battery for about 3 US. The shipping actually cost more than than the product i was buying!

are there any good accessories for RAZR?

I have through the years bought (2) and sold (5) phones and LOTs of accessories on Ebay and have had no problems with any of them. Of course, that was before the GSM/Sim card era. Now they mostly are listed without a SIM card. You can get a virgin SIM card on Ebay but it's just another pain-in-the-ear to deal with. Unlocking seems to be another new issue.

ebay tips
I have bought a few phone on ebay all have been fine especially to keep me out of the clutches of the contract renewal monkeys. As stated earlier you need to be wise check out who you deal with - pay via credit system (easier to get money back.
My Ebay tips are:
- Research what you want - especially do an advanced search and check the completed items box - this will make you see what similar items have sold for and help you to set a budget
- Ask questions - it can be your protection; if they don't mention the fact that the item is not working and you aint asked it can be tricky ( If you don't see it mentioned don't ASSume ASK
- Set your budget and stick to it - Don't keep checking whether you've won you will be overtaken by the bidding bug and pay more than it's worth
- Be patient - there will be another one along in a minute (most items will come up again and often better
