Sorry you got scammed. All I can suggest is that you do as others have suggested and go to a Nokia shop and have them certify that it is not an official N900

Yep, that is one baaaaad mother of a fake.

The first picture shows that. And I didn't have to look at the screen.
The speaker port is way too long.

The back of the slider should also say "ARM Cortex-A8 32GB" on the left and "Designed in Finland" on the right.

Was it a "From Hong Kong" Special on a well known auction site?

Write a Email to Nokia Explain your Problem and ask them if they can help you!!

Or call them!

It is the fastest way to call them

Can you be a bit more specific on exactly what kind of documentation PayPal has requested? You've posted screenshots of your fake device. Do you need screenshots of the real N900? If so, Google image search will probably give you what you need, but I expect that if you requested specific screens here you'd be accommodated.

Also, quipper8's link to the N900-Style will probably assist you.

Yes, the Ovi Maps alarm clock is quite nice, I think.

How about scans from the original manual/packaging?

I'm sure there are some legalese or corporate info that may be printed on the real thing that are missing/different on the copy. Those may work as far as 'documents' go...

this is what they are asking me for:
please
obtain a document from an unbiased, third-party, such as a dealer,
appraiser, or an organization that is qualified in the area of the item in
question (other than yourself), which clearly identifies the item as not
authentic. The document must specifically state how the item received
differs from an authentic item and must include a detailed explanation of
how the person evaluating the item determined that it is not authentic.
