I am switching to a different carrier asap and would like to sell my Fascinate. It has only been using a couple months and is in both perfect working and cosmetic condition. I live in Illinois if you are local otherwise I'll take paypal as long as it is verified and in the usa. Will be shipping with tracking hoping for about $180 or best offer. Thanks.
 
Yes I received a tracking number but it never updated past the post office received information about shipping it out. I have been in communication with the seller over the past 3 weeks, but since last monday I haven't heard from him. He thinks the item got sent back to him for some reason. He said he was going out of town for work and for me to open a dispute on paypal in the mean time. I just don't like the past weeks lack of communication. I mean I can understand if you are out of town for work, but you aren't so busy that you can't return an email.

So I think this is a total scam and I got the wool pulled over my eyes. I still haven't heard back from the OP, so I went to paypal and looked for his info. Got his name and address and decided to get on yellow pages and look this guy up. Got his phone number and called. Was told that he would be back home after 7. So I just called and an elderly man answered. I asked for him by name and he said speaking. I proceeded to tell him that I was the guy off of android central that purchased a phone from him. He had absolutely no idea what android was or anything about a cell phone. I asked if he had a son, he said no. I told him that someone must be using his name and address and ripping people off. I'm at a loss for words and totally lost in this situation. I guess I need to escalate the dispute on paypal to a full claim. I'm am so pissed. I hope the mods see this.

Yes, escalate it on Paypal. Sorry to hear that, but good luck.

I sent you a PM a few days ago inquiring about this phone and asking for a picture. You replied that there were several people in line and that you would let me know. Then you come back into this thread lower the price and sell it without contacting me as you stated you would. NOT cool!

This comment makes me laugh so bad, the last sentence. NOT cool! ha Not Cool, you didn't rip me off as well!

good luck, got scammed a little while back and hope you get it back, call paypal and tell them to transfer you to their claims department, tell them you have a dispute you want to raise immediately even if it hasn't been past the 3 days you have to wait to raise it to a claim they will do it. just tell them what happened and they will try to get back at you, if you need any help pm me, more then happy to help got my $225 back from a scam artist about a month back.

if paypal is being stupid and you paid through paypal using a debit/credit card call your bank (the number on the back of the card) or go to your bank and issue a charge back. your bank will take the money back from paypal with interest and deposit the money back into your account. paypal takes too long, its your money, your bank will do it right there on the spot.
