@sibot (aka kauffmann on Erodov) sold me a used iPhone 4S whose display died. I bought in knowingly that the display was a third-party. But that is not the issue. I bought it with the condition that I would be given a week testing warranty after I have it in my hands. This was communicated to the seller before the purchase. I bought the phone via a relative in Delhi somewhere in March last week. Phone was delivered safely in good hands. Phone was immediately kept away and taken out only on the 4-5th April before flight departure. Since the condition said that warranty should be applicable after I had it since I'm the only one who can use an iPhone and test it the warranty time should start only after i had it on my hands which I earlier said would be 4th April but I got the dates wrong and relative came home on the 5th April and I got the phone only that day. Right from the first day the phone display refused to switched on.

Shit got real after he couldn't solve the problem.
Since nothing worked I asked him for full refund. He refused saying he's not responsible and that "testing warranty" doesn't include dead display wtf. I bought it only because I thought I would be safe with a testing warranty period backing it. We couldn't arrive to a conclusion so we added the mods to the conversation but sadly even they thought it was not "fair" (which BTW I still find it laughable and ridiculous) to the seller. What use was the testing warranty then? He even claimed he got it repaired at a trusty "local" repair shop but when I asked him to do it again at the same shop he refused saying it was too far from his place. The use of "local" here is contradictory to his claims. He made it sound like it was just near his place.
Anyway on the advice of some friends I finally only asked that he pay 50% of a new 3rd party display cost and 50% repair cost. Total would be around 1000rs.
Its been over a good one month now and I still haven't received the money. He claimed that he has made the transfer but my bank account statement doesn't agree. He said he sent me the money, which was 900rs against the agreed 1000rs, using IMPS so that I won't suffer any transaction charge and then deducts a 100 bucks. Just wow. Bank transfer details have been shared with the mods.
Edit: money was transferred, to the wrong account which I sent. I made a mistake in the last two digits and interchanged the numbers "43" to "34." *facepalm*.
Now that I think about it I'm glad that it happened with a not-so-huge amount else I would've never known that online money transfer doesn't need the account holder's name. All this time I've been thinking that the person who transfer the money can verify the account holder's name before confirming the payment. Just like how its done with cash deposits. I learned of this only a while ago.
The full discussion was actually a very long convo. I'm only posting a summary here.
Rest of the info can be found in the PM conversation with the seller, myself and the mods.
Seller cheated me of 6000rs.
Ban @sibot.
I'll be more than happy to answer any of your question.
