Wow...it's crazy what eBay sellers think they can get away with. Glad you returned them! Great video.

If I’m buying something expensive on eBay I always go to see the sellers rating and make sure that he has 100% positive feedback if not I don’t purchase just so I have the peace of mind knowing I might not get scammed

I hate people who abuse their phones. Man how hard it is to keep your phone in good condition? My first phone was the iPhone 5s and I bought it on the launch day. Today it still looks like I just bought it.

Not always. I once received a necklace which was clearly *very* different to its' picture and was also a cheap knock-off (I ordered a branded one). The seller blocked all contact. I contacted ebay and said the seller was selling fake items and that it differed to the photo and they told me (although I provided them with the photos), that to prove that, I had to hire a professional "judge" who looks at the necklace and writes a statement about it. Only then they could decide, if I could get my money back. (Note: the necklace was like 30 bucks and getting these judges statements is like 300 bucks)

Sellers like this tend to have bots that leave realistic good reviews or they'll offer gift cards or something to people they actually sent what they asked for. Theres sellers on Amazon that are scalping GPUs rn for over twice the original price and they all have thousands of outstanding reviews when all they do is scam people.

I have an iPad Air 2 and for no reason the screen touch stoped working but you can still see the picture only the touch is not working, I went to the apple store thinking they going to change it but the did not. What do you think I do if I change the screen will it work or is this a software problem. What do you think
Contact EBay. You got scammed and they can get you your money back. Edit: lovely. You did already.

Can't you take the chip off the logic board and put in on a bare logic board if you have the equipment to do so.
do you sell these refurbished phones?
Am glad you made this video, we have all been caught on Ebay on way or another. Always check feedback ask questions and be prepared to return if like you its not as described.
with the SE logic board snapped it actually wasn't a SE look at the battery connector. on the SE its only a 2 pin connector not 3
So sad to heard about it, but you can ask eBay to refund your money using the money back guarantee

I don’t get why sellers still try to scam buyers on eBay. Buyers ALWAYS win disputes when it comes to wrong items and sometimes buyers get to keep the original item for free. eBay has a lot of buyer scams however which is why I stopped selling there and switched to eBid but I still buy all my stuff on eBay because of the large selection of things (I also fix a lot of iPhones) and the prices are always good since a lot of competition balances prices
