Well I also just found another thread about someone buying a TP 2 online and after two months of using it, Sprint locked their phone down.

You should read the thread.

That is why I am saying that you need to be proactive about it. If you wait to long, you might have trouble having PayPal do an investigation and you don't want to be caught off guard with Sprint shutting your phone off.

thanks for all the responses guys.... i have contacted the seller and he swears its not fraud and offered me a refund if i shipped the phone back. the only problem is i have no other phone(and i really like the tp2 also)

i think i am going to call sprint anonymously and tell them the situation first without giving them my account info.

if i do end up keeping the phone, for how long will paypal offer me buyers protection? say 6 months down the road the phone is bricked by sprint, can i still be covered by paypal?

i know this might sound bad, but i got the phone at a pretty good price and i dont want to give it up

did you ever talk with Sprint? All you have to do is talk with them, help them out and then if you used Paypal you will be ok. But all in all I think they will work with you here you just need to talk with Sprint instead of listening to all the lawyers on here that don't know your whole story.
