    i only buy factory unlocked phones and i’ve never had good luck buying used phones from others; there was also something wrong with them and some esoteric policy at the places i purchased them from wouldn’t let me get a refund, so i’ve stopped trying.

      Ebay has very good buyer protections - arguably too good, making things hard for small sellers. Virtually impossible to not get a refund within eBay’s 30 day return period.

        eBay was the final straw for me. Lol

        I bought a phone from them and it got stolen because FedEx put the package outside the building (instead of inside like usual) and neither eBay, nor the seller, nor cash app will cover the loss so I’ve excised all 3 from my life permanently.
