So there's this website called Poshmark.com I found this seller who was selling a iphone 4s 32GB and before I bought it I asked her if it was locked, if it had a bad esn, if anything was wrong with it. She said it was in perfect like new condition and had no problems. She offered me to pay through paypal so I did, I sent her $230. I received it and it is Apple ID LOCKED.Meaning I can't use it, it's pretty much defective and useless. I messaged the seller about this and she kept giving me short answers like she "doesn't" remember the email YET I went on her page on Poshmark and saw that she had actually sold this SAME iphone before but the buyer returned it. I looked at the last comments on the listing and the seller was asking the past buyer if she had left an apple id lock on the phone. The buyer said no.
So I messaged her again telling her I know that the iphone was sold before so quit leading me on. I went onto Paypal and opened a dispute case for item significantly not as described - internally defective. I found out today she DELETED All HER TRANSACTIONS ON POSHMARK, there's NO TRACE OF HER. She then had the nerve to comment on the case telling Paypal that she checked the iphone before she sent it to me to make sure it's not locked and that I possibly locked it myself. Which makes no sense why I would do that?
Can anyone tell me if there's a chance I will get my money back? What could Paypal respond to all of this?
