Did he return it recorded delivery if not you could claim you have not received and then he shouldn't get a refund from paypal as he can't prove he's returned it. Can't see what else you can do? Or call his bluff say its not the same IMEI number and you will be contacting the police in case it was stolen/replaced in transit, 'could he make sure that the phone returned to was the one bought from you just in case he had mixed it up with another seller.'0

Thanks Refund Queen. So you think im right to be suspicious? I can see what your saying and i reckon its quite possible...
Still not sure whether to go for option A or B...
Hi FloFlo, he did return it RD I could try the IMEI trick (as its printed inside the phone) but im not sure what the number was of the phone i sent..
I could try calling his bluff and say i have contacted the police..0 -
can you find out if the phone was insured through ups and claim for damage?0

Thanks Pinkgem, UPS will only cough up if the packaging is damaged, which its not.. they also state that they will not deliver any packages that are damaged0

Am always suspicious when I hear stories like these!
Another thought, if you originally paid for your phone by cc, can you go back to the store/shop that you purchased it from and ask them to check your cc against their records which will show the IMEI number of that original D900 phone. Then they can compare the IMEI number of the phone that this ebay guy has sent you, to their records and then you can see if they match - if they do its your phone and it looks like a poss scam is out, and if they dont then its not our phone.
Does that make sense??0 -
Sorry scrap that im talking rubbish.0

Your buyer is bidding on a similar phone thats damaged? Is this right?0

Does the Samsung box have a label on it with an IMEI number? If so does the IMEI on the box match the IMEI on the phone? Doesn't prove anything as he could have sent you back a different box to match the broken phone. But if they don't match then ...0
