I bought a phone on eBay from a one seller, and a "lot" of 4 phones from another seller. To my dismay all five phones had been reported stolen (some were for relatives, I checked each phone before giving them out luckily). One seller hasn't responded, the other told me to send the phones back but I didn't need to use delivery confirmation if I didn't want to, it wouldn't make a difference...he would refund me either way. That is a red flag that this guy is shady. I would never send something back without proof. I'm not happy about paying $$ out of pocket to ship these back to a guy who isn't the real owner, just so he can resell them to someone else, but I want at least some of my $$ back. My question is, if I ship it back with DC, and he tries to refuse the refund can I open a claim and get my $$ back, or do I have to open the claim FIRST and then mail it after they reach their decision?? I need to know because I doubt this guy is going to refund me if he can get out of it.
