    File a PayPal dispute. You'll win, just take pictures of the PIN from the "Options > Status" screen. When a PIN doesn't work, instead of the eight characters shown, they are replaced with 8 stars, "********". That's your proof.

    Just buy form a credited seller, or check my signature/ PM me, I got more, haha

    Always research the ESN on a used phone before purchasing it to make sure there aren't any problems with the phone. If the seller will not give the ESN, look for a different seller.
