Cell Phone Drama

So, most of your have had some sort of cell phone dilemma or drama as I like to call it... Mine is one for the books.... My cell as most of you know was in a lil accident... So, (since i have one of those un-fixable screens) & no I didn't purchase the insurance on it... I decided to buy a refurbished one via Ebay... First time ordering and I am happy that I could actually afford a phone.. Since we all know that trying to get a cell phone now a days is like making a car payment... Especially, if you aren't anywhere close to your upgrade date... So, I ordered a different kind of DROID bc I could afford it... So, after practically two weeks without a phone it comes in the mail... YIPPY!!! totally excited.. I can't wait to start it up... Well, I followed all my instructions through my cell carrier and then after it transfers all your info it tells you to power your phone up so that you can finish the programming... I went to do that and my phone wouldn't turn on.. Hmmm I wondered why?? So, I plugged it into the charger that it came with and yay it started... Love that "DROID Sound" that it makes...lol... But wait.. it's off again.. What the heck!!! So, i took out the battery and placed it back in and plugged it in again.. NOTHING!!!! what... all my info is in this phone and I can't work it....DAMMM...

 I drove to my cell companies store and asked the clerk if he could help me... So, he was nice enough to try and put another battery in it (which I paid for) and abracadabra it worked.. Until i got into the car... It's off again.... Off I go back into the store and the clerk tells me "it could be the connection port"... Oh NO!! what the heck is that???? Well, it's what registers the battery and charges up the phone... Great so now what.. all my info is in this new phone and its not working!!! So, the clerk advises me to send it back to the seller and ask for a refund... Here we go another who knows how many weeks without a phone... Aggrrrr... I get home, and try to change my phone info again, but I'm worried that some other info is still in this new phone... Just my luck.. I also email the seller and I'm waiting to hear back from them... I want a phone.. One that works, and that I can use... Is this too hard to ask???? Geez... I'm hoping that come Monday morning I can get some sort of resolution on this... Being without a phone is no fun....

I guess I wonder, if ordering from Ebay or Amazon is bad??? I've never had issues with products (even though my orders are all books), but I guess that there is always a first time... Well, to all of you out there that have had something similar happen.. I totally feel your pain right now...
