    I think you should escalate to a claim as seller is not being helpful.

    "not alot i can do really"
    Oh Yeah?
    Paypal will make them refund

    It doesn't matter where they bought it from if it's not advertised as new, the seller is responsible for the item if it's faulty.

    I'm very suspicious they bought it from Hong Kong in the first place. Chances are the phone is a fake or stolen.

    Send the item via SD, and then in your paypal dispute you will be able to prove you've returned it and a refund should be straightforward following that.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    "phone worked fine when i sent it out as ive said i brought it from another seller on ebay and paid more for it not alot i can do really"

    Oh no he didn't ,he paid £44.69 + lots of p+p from HK.Then I reckon he realised it was a "lookalike"
    Hopefully he will get his commuppence from PP

    Do you still have the original email, the one you get when you win an item?

    The one that says "Congratulations, you won item bla bla"..
    The sellers address is usually on there near the bottom of the email.

    Or if he sent you an invoice it should be on that too.
