Anyhow, open the claim with PayPal. They may, or may not require you to retrurn the device to the seller in order to get the refund, but I imagine if the seller doesn't even respond to the claim, there's really nobody PayPal can *make* you ship it back to.

That still wouldn't mean that you walked away with the phone for free (getting your money back, and getting to keep it), as Sprint or Asurion *may* come along and ask for it back. Nobody has reported this happening yet, but then, I don't think this has been going on long enough for many people to catch it just yet. I know I caught mine 10 seconds after I looked at my bill, and it was much higher than normal.

Alright, I'm doing the claim as I'm typing this. I will keep posting to see what happens. Also should I do anything with Ebay and my credit card company. (Thanks again for your help, I'm new to doing these types of disputes/claims)
