Agreed. Hit the PayPal angle hard and fast. Do not let up - they know the game just like you do.
If you allow too much time to pass, you will never see your money nor a working phone!
As an aside, I had an old Android 2.3 that was laying around a while back. I couldn't get it to charge for the life of me. I ended up removing the battery and using one of those $5 external battery chargers and "presto"! It charged up and the phone worked.
I decided to experiment and discovered that if the battery was allowed to run to 0, it would no longer charge via the phone and I had to use the external charger. If the phone was turned on, it would act exactly like yours, but if I charged with an external charger AND turned off the phone, it would charge... but not if the battery was at 0.
That phone is now back in a drawer.
