How about posting the ebay sellers name so everyone can spread the word. I just bought one for my Lady, and I'm hoping this is not the same dude that I bought from.

And just FYI, purchasing anything of of the internet can have some risk involved, but there are security measures in place to TRY and assure that the people we are dealing with are reputable. If the OP or anyone else gets screwed over they shouldn't have blame put on them just b/c they wanted to buy something at a cheaper price, and not extend their contract. Sprint needs to have a better system for verifying the phones that they ship out and who they were shipped out to. He shouldn't have extra charges placed on him, so yes it's Sprints fault.
