Bad thread to read while I have a TP2 on ebay right now, haha. Now I'm all paranoid.

I do quite a lot of business on eBay. You really cannot appeal anything. eBay treats sellers like crap. I pay over $2000 a month to eBay in seller/listing fees, and I am treated like trash when I call them.

If they left you a negative feedback, it's there for 12 months. You will not get it removed. It won't happen, no matter how much you will try. I had a guy leave me a feedback by mistake. He tried to leave negative for something he bought off-ebay, got confused and left me negative feedback. After fighting with customer service, there's nothing that they can do.

For future, if you ever get a case started with eBay, best thing to do is to call them right away and plead your case. Try to get someone knowledgeable on the phone. May take few calls. I had people who closed the case in my favor, after I've politely explained them the technicality behind the issue. Explaining that you got your device back, with improper modifications should've helped you. But the idea is to do it before case is closed.

It may be a longshot, but call them and tell them you would like to recover your money as part of Seller Protection program. The general eBay idea is to treat sellers like crooks, so it will be an uphill battle.

You could re activate the phone with sprint and then take it to a repair center to see if there's something they can do about it. Might be an option.
p.
.

exactly..only with Verizon...just tell them you tried to flash their latest ROM..and it all went bad..their usually pretty good about doing that..i dont think the phone has to turn on for you to reactivate it on verizon.com...as long as u can get the phone on the account and the account has their insurance they should just swap it out

after activating it on verizon.com they tell you to dial *228 to reprogram and i can't do that. do you know if that will be a problem? and i don't have insurance right now, will it work if I add it now?
I did have phone active about a month ago on my account.

Thanks for all the suggestions. You guys are great.

This reminds of an episode from the Seinfeld show: The Package

I understand man. I had different problem with a newbie.

I sold many old phones on ebay old sprint handset and few smart phones 6700,mogul and last tp. The guy who bought tp had no idea how to use the phone and started a claim that phone was freezing and internet does not work (later he found out he needed data plan).
I resolved the issues explaining that its not my fault or phone he needed to do some research.
