eBay's rules are easy enough to circumvent - a seller cannot re-sell or drop-ship from Amazon, but there is no rule say he can't give you a gift he purchased from Amazon...
And regardless of what you believe the item to be (open box, return, etc.), so long as it matches the description posted on the eBay page you can't really complain. Now if it was damaged or obviously used but listed as "Brand New" then that's another thing.It's a technicality and not a big deal. If you got what you wanted and expected for a price you were willing to pay, I'm not certain I would bother about it.

Me thinks you are wanting a refund and to keep the merchandise.
PM me and I'll tell you how to do it.

To the moderator: please close this thread
As in other threads I have seen, this one has deviated as it has gone on, and I'm asking that it be closed. If anyone still wants to contribute I would ask that they please read the entire preceding thread because I'm sure that almost all of the questions that could be asked and points that have been made have already been answered and made.

It is called "ebay arbitrage" and is a policy violation. The item came as a gift because the shady seller used free friends and family Prime shipping.
