wow! He should have received it if it arrived at a business address. I send my online purchases to work for that very reason. Happy to hear that PayPal helped you out. I'm thinking there's a 99% chance he'll visit that post office today, and then re-list that steamer on Monday.
It is seller problem, he does not want to pick it up.
one of the two things i would keep a eye on overe the next two week the way am thinking is now the phone you sent back too him will get return back too you at some point if that happens the the seller my file a claim with your bank asking for his or here $ bank so that is some in you may want too keep a eye on even no you all ready won your case with the paypal the seller may have other ways around this by refuseing the phone and then file a charge back claim with his bank so this may not be over for you yet
good luck
agree with what others are saying....he didn't pick it up so it will go back to you. Then try to get his money back.
Which tells me he KNEW of the defect all along.
Might want to contact PP and ask them what to do if that happens.
Hoping he picks it up today

When I called PayPal last week they said u did your part that's why they refunded me before he picked up the phone.
Bc I did was I supposed to do.

It will sit in his post office till may 18th then ships back to sender
Right...that means it will go back to you if he doesn't pick it up. Then what happens?
I also sent PayPal a screen shot of the threat
And they documented it.

Why does Samsung have no obligation? The warranty is transferable. Now if the issue was that the seller tampered with the device, then yes Samsung has no obligation. But if it's a screen defect then they should replace it. It doesn't hurt to try. But a much faster method would be to simply bring it to your carrier, they would barely look at it before replacing it.
As for selling a brand new s8+ and selling it below cost, have you looked at Swappa? There are numerous listings of brand new and mint ones for sale below cost. Samsung has a tendency to drop in value once released. I see on average about $100 below cost, even less if you factor in not having to pay tax, shipping and activation fees.
The only thing that was a red flag was the negative feedback on the seller. I won't touch a negative feedback, or zero feedback for a sale on swappa.
Yes. The seller will say
"I just couldn't afford it.
Lol" I had the same remarks not from the seller when I was scammed few weeks ago at this forum with iphone 6s +, when I had problem very similar to what you go through. Yet others that were supporting him saying I was using rent money to buy phone, what an insult! I am glad paypal behind you all the way.
i found it and asked him if it had been returned before
Highly doubtful any company would ship a product with that level of defect. More likely the seller sold a phone that has been repaired and botched the SAMOLED layer in the process. OP made the right decision to return it instead of wasting effort to correct the situation and thus covering up the seller's dishonesty.
I see the ad, and he says "nope" to you asking if the phone has been listed before and returned.i found it and asked him if it had been returned before
