these are your options when it comes to selling to 'rose'

1. Rose relies on the fact your excited by managing to sell your phone for more than its worth, so you ship it before payment has cleared.

2. Rose says there is a problem making the payment due to currency issues, so she has to pay you £500, and asks you to send £200 back via western union, after which she will chargeback the £500.

You shouldn't even need to ask if its a scam, would you pay £300 for a £70 phone if you desperately need it? If you could affored that much for some ebay phone, you could afford to order a better one online and spend the rest on getting delivered at an awesome speed.
