URGENT: Verizon iPhone

oke guys, here is an update;

Went to the Apple Store and spoke with a Manager. The iPhone is indeed reported as stolen (and therefore never activated through Apple).

I am now opening up a case with Ebay to get my money back.
Spoke with a Ebay member and she told me not to worry, I will get my money back 100% sure. I have a letter from Apple stating the iPhone was stolen.

Thanks for all the people who gave me tips etc! ;)

Piping in to say I've bought "Verizon" full-price iPhone 5s before. They come unlocked. Pop in any SIM, the iPhone works. And that is what should be happening for you here in the U.S. Pop in any nanoSIM -- T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, Sprint, smaller players -- and when you power the phone, it should be operating.

Something definitely is wrong, and this has nothing to do with your physical location.

Off-topic, but I do want to point out that Verizon iPhones will work on just about any carrier except Sprint. They won't activate it, and the CDMA portion is locked anyway (at least it was for the 5/5c/5s).
 
no, they did not. But I did get a letter by the Manager of the Store stating the iPhone has been reported as stolen. Also he encouraged me to go to the Police.

My first priority is to get my money back via Ebay Money Guarantee. Which a Ebay employee from the Support Desk already confirmed it will be.

Also the seller was shocked by the fact it has been reported as stolen by Apple (again, this seller sells a lot of MacBooks on Ebay and has an feedback of 99,4% after 413 auctions mostly MacBooks and iPads)

I know I've read this here a few times before, but there were a couple people that reported considerably slower 4g LTE speeds with an ATT Sim card in a Verizon Iphone 6. The same person would get faster speeds with putting the ATT sim card back into their old Iphone 5S.

This is the only thing stopping me from getting a VZ Iphone 6 to use on T-mobile since T-mobile Iphones ARE LITERALLY DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to get in Socal.

Anyways, glad to see things worked out with OP.
 
:rolleyes:........ I just read the first page and gather that the phone was stolen. 6 was just released and to be on ebay already, am...... red flag! Ratings and selling lots of apple products on ebay does not mean crap. Hope ebay gives you back the money, fast!

Did you mean to reply to me? I was pointing out that the Verizon iPhone 5 and up won't work on Sprint in reply to another poster.

No, this was in another thread about using the Verizon Iphone 6 on GSM networks (T-mobile and At&t). Super tempted to grab a VZ phone since Tmobile is nonexistent in my region...but reading that person's account made me hesitate.
 
allright, here is an update again;

I just got the complete refund back to my PayPal account + full refund of shipping costs! So I am happy that I have my money back.

And guess what: the Apple Store Manager sold me a Full price iPhone 6 (no contract) with 2 free Leather Cases, cause he felt sorry for me.

Is that customer satisfaction or what! :apple::apple:

Thanks guys, for your support!!!
