I purchased a Blackberry Storm off of EBAY. I know probably something i shouldnt do but I just couldnt wait another year to get one. So I set up everything perfectly fine with the Customer Service. And everything was great for about the first two days. Until about the third day where I started to receive messages on my old phone the Curve. Only text messages tho. Email and Facebook still came fine to the Storm. And then I tried making a call and everything i tried would fail. So now I cant receive texts, make calls, or receive calls on my Storm. And all text messages and missed call notifications are coming to me on my Curve. I call the customer service and they seemed pretty confident that they could fix it.... And tried everything but couldnt get it to work. My boss just happened to be friends with a Verizon Manager. So i gave him my phone and he took it and tried absolutely everything to get it to work with no success. Has anyone ever had anything like this before? I ask that because now the guy I bought the phone off of on EBAY will not let me return it. All I want is my money back for a phone that obviously doesnt work. But he refuses and claims that I broke the phone on purpose just so I could send it back. Which is rediculous. 

Any one have any advice other than not to buy a phone off of Ebay. This was my first and last time I do that. Because as of right now I am out of 250 dollars.
