WORST eBay experience selling TP2

[ruslan]

I sold perfectly working TP2 and as soon as buyer got it, wrote me a message that it would not turn on.
After many conversations we figured that its bricked, only recognizable in PC and asking for "Qualcomm technologies MSM" driver.
Buyer made a claim with ebay and it was approved.
So now I'm stuck with bricked phone and no money.

This make me wonder: Is it possible for TP2 to somehow get bricked while shipping?
The only thing that I can think of is that I left the battery inside the phone while shipping with phone off. Could that cause a brick?
