Ebay Issue - Cel Phone dies within month of auction....what do you do?

The title says it all.

Exactly three weeks ago, I bought a Blackjack II phone for $84 shipped. Quite a stretch for me, but it made practical financial sense.

Won the auction three weeks ago, got the phone 3-5 days afterwards. Today, it died. It will not take incoming or outgoing calls or data connections, and says "Emergency Service". Spent an hour on the phone with AT&T tech support. Researched the issue on the internet. The phone is dead and not under warranty due to an antenna issue on the circuit board. Paid by Paypal.

What do you do, if anything, and why?

Nothing you can do, except to call your credit card and hope that they have a decent warranty.

This is one of the unfortunate outcomes of trying to save a few bucks. It sucks but you have to offset it with the sweet deals that have worked out for you.

Don't know what you could do. You paid for and received a working phone; the seller can't be held responsible if it breaks a few weeks later. Crappy luck.
