Hi all,

I recently upgraded to the iPhone (love it) and resold my 700w/wx phone on ebay. The buyer messaged me stating he "couldn't use the phone because it's a 700w and not a 700wx". I don't have any documentation anywhere on what model I did have (obviously thought it was th wx since that's what I listed in the auction). No mention of specific model on my paper phone bills and all traces of phone data are removed from the account on my old provider's website. I also listed in the auction and auction title this was a VERIZON phone.

I think they're trying to activate it with another carrier that may not support the 700w (if that's indeed true that I listed it as the wrong model). By all indications using online searches I can only find mention that the differences between the 700w and 700wx are what the carriers support. So if this is the case, and I listed Verizon as the carrier and their issue is trying to use it on another carrier, does that make my possible model number error a non-issue? I don't obviously want to go through the hassle of refunding and paying for return shipping if they're using the device out of the context in which it was intended, and that's their only reason for requesting a refund.

After a quick look through google it appears the W is for Verizon and the WX is for Sprint and has double the memory of the W. If I am reading your post correctly and you listed it as a 700W for Verizon, you listing would be correct.

I listed it as a wx, but had Verizon in the title. Verizon also sells the wx (for whatever reason).

What are the memory specs for each? I'm pretty sure mine had 128MB total (64 OS/64 storage)...

I'm forced to refund because I listed the wrong item. I'm going to end up eating quite a bit because of ONE LETTER. I sold two of these, so the other buyer may end up needing the extra memory for Mobile 6.0 and I'll eat more refunding/returning shipping that too.

First error on eBay in 8 years, so it could be worse.
