activation issues - stolen phone maybe?

I had the same issue. I had to get another phone. I live in Houston and the number was form San Antonio. After 3 days of programming, hard resets and everything else, i had to get another phone.

i almost bought from this seller yesterday but the price seemed too good to be true ($390 buy it now) and when i had finally convinced myself to do it the auction was pulled, heh.

I've been using ebay for a good 6+ years (as well as paypal), and have only filed 3 total claims with paypal. All ended in my favor (this one being the only one related to what I'm speculating to be straight up fraud).

The way paypal explained it, is that the sellers account is pretty much locked down, and they can't remove, or add anything to it, it's well deserved if they're ripping people off.

Looks like it could have been an issue with Sprint, not the seller, so I don't think it is necessarily fair to say they were ripping people off. It sounded like they were willing to work with you then you filed a paypal claim.

They refunded you because you, frankly, screwed them over by filing a claim.

I filed the claim only after they didnt follow up with me, as they stated they would, provided false contact information via ebay (I tried to obtain it, so I could call them, and discuss it in a more personal way, versus emailing), and the emails I tried to send, to their contact email address bounced.

In the claim I even said I'd be willing to immediately close it (which is indeed an option if you come to a resolution).

And I'm not outright saying they were ripping people off (I said it was a little hoaky, and I do understand that things happen). Either way, it's all taken care of now, and the phones on the way back to them.

Well it sounded like you were saying they were going to exchange it. I didn't know they had bad contact info and failed to follow up with you. Sorry.

They offered to exchange it. When I contacted them to follow up, the message bounced. I requested their contact info from eBay. Phone # was bogus. Tried to email them again via ebay, and never heard back, so I opened the claim. Stated at the very beginning of the claim that I was only opening it, in the hopes of re-establishing contact since my emails were being rejected, and their contact phone # was not valid.

Never even indicated a refund amount (paypal asks you how much you are disputing), and she completely ignored it, and just refunded me (like I said, that's fine, but why bother to offer to help, and then not do it.).
