I can confirm the eBay unlocks work on the AT&T iPhone 5. I entered my request yesterday and got confirmation today. I popped in a trimmed tmobile sim and it works.
i wish there was one available for Rogers in canada.. i might need it next year
Yes, I can. I did this yesterday. It was $16.88, and a few hours later, I received an email, I restored and I got the "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked" screen. I can say, this worked, 100%. Unlocked iPhone 5.
Here's the link for the one I used...

I just have a question before I do this... why does this work? How come this guy has the "power" to do this? Seems so awesome but almost too good to be true...

Smart guy with a hack or inside knowledge.
As said, who knows if the carrier pushes a LOCK back to your phone at some point.
Never happened before, doubt it will now.
Actually, this happened to a bunch of people this week, including me. My iPhone was relocked (originally unlocked by unlock_fusion). It took a couple of days to get it unlocked again.

While the system updated probably.
Where you using a Tmobile sim and then it stopped working? How did you know it locked again?
It was unlocked properly late last week. Out of curiosity, I ran the number through the IMEI checker sites early this week, and they suddenly changed to locked. Then I read a bunch of other people here experienced the same thing (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1398957/). Stupidly, I restored the phone, and of course, didn't get the Congrats message, indicating that the phone was need relocked. It took a couple days of emailing unlock_fusion to get it unlocked again.
Kind of paranoid about it now, as it doesn't seem to be exactly permanent.
