After receiving the phone he said it didn't work (it did btw) and eBay sided with him and paid him the money with the instructiuons that he is to send me the phone back. Well, it's two weeks later and no phone, and since he created a shipping label eBay just tells me to wait for the phone to deliver. UGH.

Now I can't use ebay or my PayPal account until this is resolved.

You got taken'

I just got word from eBAy yesterday that they will not ask me to reimburse Paypal for the money they refunded to the buyer. I guess they figured out he was a scammer. They could have saved $125 if they had just talked to me first or tried to get my side of the issue. Oh well, it's no skin off my nose.

The buyer also provided return shipping information so maybe it will come back. Although, that was two weeks ago and it is still in the "a shipping label was created" status. I'm pretty sure it's not coming back and the buyer has had no other ebay transactions since the incident with my iPhone.
