looks like you found a bad buyer,obviously trying to get the phone for nothing,if he raises a case you lose the cash and your phone possibly.
luckily most buyers are decent,though lately as a seller myself {used car parts}I am seeing more buyers than ever before asking for refunds,even though they don't want to send the part back and a lot saying the item is't as described and trying to settle for a partial refund?so they hope I won't ask for the part back and they get it for less.

About 10 years ago I was buying car badges from the brokers and customising them / cleaning them up and selling it on

Sold one as damaged (no locating pins on the rear)

12 pictures from all angles

Nob head buyer then opens a case despite it sayin no pins in the title, description and pictures

They refunded him. Interestingly he lived over near a friends place, you can see where this was going... He had the bloody badge stuck on his car. Was so tempted to rip it off


I stopped selling on eBay then, they lost out of about 30 a week in fees

They simply wouldn't listen to me

fk ebay and the horse it rode in on!

If anyone needs to figure out the IMEI number on a phone, simply type *#06# (star, hash, zero, six, hash)

The lesson to learn is never sell a phone or similar items on EBay. Full of scammers and no visible action is taken against their illegal activity.
Walk into a phone shop & sell it. What with Ebay fees etc you'll probably get more anyway..
