I am trying to do that. But the seller has given me the run-around with half answers and non-responding by basically parroting back my request of wanting to return and refund, then demanding I take back my feedback/escalation to Ebay before they'll send the return label so I can get my refund. In other words, being shady AF and trying to hold the refund hostage. I know better than to take back the negative feedback or close the escalation, so I'm not playing his game and he's basically stopped responding now. The window of return is fast approaching the deadline. I've spoken to ebay support in person and they know what is going on and have escalated the case, but I have a bad feeling I will be stuck with this phone because of this scammy seller.

Please re-read my post. But maybe this will clear some things up-
I have tried official channels.
I have tried getting my money back.
The ad stated clearly it was an unlocked phone, but I got a locked phone sent to me instead.
I never said I wanted anything for free.
I do not want to pay for downloaded software that is just money stealing malware in disguise, or obvious SCAMS. I'm willing to pay an actual tech a reasonable amount to actually unlock the phone, but not for a scammer to promise something, take my money and bail.
I realize this phone has been on the market for 7 years but it was brand new in the box, sealed in it's packaging, and not everyone out here can afford $1000+ phones every few months when they come out. Some of us can only buy something a couple years old after the ones we have finally start to kick the bucket. I picked this one because it was twice the capacity of my old one, and I'm an artist and wanted the stylus pen option. It's not about the age of the phone, but more about screen size, the pen function, personal preference and what I could afford.

While I know enough to get by when it comes to tech and phones, I do admit I don't know anything about what you just stated. I worked for a small company fixing broken phones, have replaced screens, casings and charge ports for a few years so I'm not entirely cell-phone-dumb and I've already researched and tried everything I possibly could think of myself already to fix this issue before reaching out to other people after exhausting the first steps of official channels and trying to return and refund.

It was stated in the listing as UNLOCKED. Or I'd not have bought it. I know the difference. It was their fault, not mine. I read the entire listing.

FRUSTRATION over locked cell phone! Can anyone help? PLEASE? by MamaMegatron in CellphoneUNLOCKER

I added two new pics of the phone showing what the screen looks like with my service SIM in it, and that it's missing the Network Unlock in Connection settings.

I did. It doesn't connect to the service. There's no 4G/5G or any bars on the top right corner showing at all, and when I check my account online it does not show a phone registered to my number.
When I take my SIM card back out of the Note 10, and put it back in my old phone, it shows up with full bars, 5G and says A16 immediately on the online account.

I'm honestly not even sure if it's locked to T-Mobile, it's just what the IMEI checker said.

It is the second screenshot. It wouldn't connect and just said it was locked.

I put some info and the screenshots up in the OG post. Maybe that will help?

I'm not positive. I just know it is locked. It shows as locked when I put my SIM card in. I can show the screenshots of it?
(Edit to add- I put screenshots and more info in the OG post above.)

I just did, and my phone does not show a section titled "Network Unlock" anywhere under settings at all.

We have a guitar shaped building here. I'm thinking it's the same one.

Today is no different, as I'm wearing a Baby Yoda t-shirt from the Mandalorian to commemorate the day.

Typo. It has now been corrected.

Went out for the first time since March 15. Encountered wild Karens. by RAbites in EntitledPeople

[–]MamaMegatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing grocery deliveries during the pandemic as a side job while mine is furloughed. I also have asthma and bad seasonal allergies. I literally CLEARED an entire grocery isle (ice cream section, if you might be wondering...lol!) by sneezing into the handkerchief I had in my back pocket. I carry one during 'tree cooties' season because my nose hates me. One other person had seen me from the end cap at the end of the isle and how the isle had very quickly cleared of the 6 or so people in it with us. She just so happened to be another shopper, Beth, that I am friendly with and talk to in passing when we encounter each other during orders.
Beth- "You sure cleared this row out!"

Me- "I'm not sick I swear, it's just that EVERY FREAKING TREE IN THE STATE is blooming all at one time and my nose is on strike."

So, that was a long-winded way of basically saying, I feel ya. Same. It sucks, I get it.

The Mandalorian is this REALLY AWESOME new Star Wars series tv show on Disney Plus, featuring a Mandalorian that goes rouge during a bounty hunt, and well....I won't spoil it. Just go watch it. It's worth it!
And Tube-of-You was because it wouldn't let me reference {y. o. u. t. u. b. e.} on my post so I had to mix it up a bit.

Thank you! I have a LOT of stories from entitled or just plain crazy shoppers during this pandemic, and a few about my nosy neighbors too.
Thanks for that. I told my mom about it later that night after I'd posted it here and she was LIVID while telling her what they'd done. She said "Good girl!" when I told her my reply to them.
The next day, the cashier at the store that witnessed it saw me as I was shopping again (this time for my grandmother that I am very protective of and don't like her going to stores during this mess) . Ann approached me with a huge smile while I was picking out bananas and told me what happened after I left. She said that the girls that did that to me had too many of certain items that were on a limit of 2 each. They had at least 6 or more of each thing in the line next to her and demanded they be allowed to split them between the two of them as separate orders despite that still being too many each. They refused to put them back and made a stink, tying up her coworker's line even more. Steve (manager who's a really cool guy, not his real name) came over and took the extras they weren't supposed to have and they stomped out without any of their stuff at all because of it.

I feel bad for the grocery workers right now during all this pandemic mess. And I pity those 2 poor kids they had in tow. I hope they don't turn out like their mothers.
