hey just charge back
>buy used iPhone 5S from Amazon warehouse
>description is good condition
>get it in two days with prime shipping
>still has plastic on it
>looks like it's never been touched
>it just doesn't have the original box
>happily go on using my brand new iPhone I got for $200
Moral of the story OP, go with something that's trusted and you can return
Always call on the imei before you buy dipshit. Have fun with your paperweight.

this to be honest family
>get wrong product
>get a refund and don't even have to return it
OP here, bought many phones and sold them again at a higher price. e.g. iPhone 6 with water damage bought for 75€ sold at 125€ with no cost
>>51825339
>2015
>writing on 4chan.org/g
>still doesn't know how to buy online
god OP, it's not that difficult to check the feedbacks
>>51825339
>eat shit from my hands from a private seller
Found your problem.

Saw it for 200€, bought it at 180€.
Sometimes you gotta be fast and don't have the time to ask for imei and so on or someone else will buy it. Bought an iphone 6 with defective battery for 150€, changed battery (10€) and sold it for 450€.
Was just curios if there was any way to recover it or if someone has had the same problems
>>51825339
Go to the police, hope you can get your money back and reunite the stolen property with its owner.
Text him Gg. Accept your loss.

>buys many phones
>doesn't always have time to check the imei first
Sounds like you've been lucky so far. So many people out there trying to pawn off stolen/lost devices. Don't be stupid. It's a 5 minute call at most. If they won't let you make the call, don't buy it. Not that difficult.

If he did start buying online, he'd probably transfer "good faith" money to some Turkish king from the sounds of things.
>>51825582>>51825582
the problem isn't that I don't have the time to check the imei but that the seller would rather sell it to someone who doesn't ask questions about imei, packaging, simlock and so on
>>51825339
Go to address of seller with a baseball bat. Get your money back. If he doesn't give it the first time you ask, clock his ass, take all the money in his wallet, buy shit from his computer, and then shove everything you even remotely feel like taking into your car till it's full and go home.
As soon as he wakes up Tell him if you ever hear anything about it someone without a name will come burn his house down with him alive but bleeding and still inside it.

Was it on eBay? The Buyers Protection is really good on there. I usually buy iphones to repair off there and if the product isn't exactly as reported i just get a refund. Obviously if they put in the descript that it's broken and locked then you're fucked tho 2bh familia.
>>51825339
Hand the phone back it's owner, or leave it somewhere where the police can pick it up, you robbing git
>>51825609
R E T A R D
>>51825609
Then don't trust that seller.
>>51825609

>>51825908

Did you try putting it back to factory setting? Google it, there a lot of nifty thing you can do with 2 buttons
>applefags so poor they buy a used iphone from a private seller and wonder why it doesn't work
>>51825339
>can't afford the newest iphone in gold with 128GB storage
fuckoff
>>51826497
>paying $1000 to eat shit from your hands
fuckoff
>>51825339
why would you even tell the seller you received it? claim ebay/paypal fraud and exercise your ridiculous buyer rights
>>51826666
Because he sent it with shipping number
>>134673791
Doesnt amazon have like 90% fake 5 star feedbacks?
>>51825339
1. Should've bought it off ebay
2. Unless you purchased it broken why the fuck are you even trying to repair it?
3. Not checking all this shit before you hand over your money
You deserved this.
>what do?
Stop being such a bumbling fucking retard next time.
>>51825536
You don't have 20 seconds before you hand over your money to check it's not stolen? Or was it that you had to run away after your "purchase"
Sue the seller.
