iPhone 8/Plus Help buying an 8 Plus...

[PittFanIAm]

So I'm not very savvy with this stuff. I'm looking at picking up an iphone 8 plus on ebay. I'm attaching a link to the phone that i'm thinking about buying. I'm hoping one of you more knowledgeable posters can take a quick look to make sure everything looks good...no scams...will work...decent model?...good deal...any insight you think i might need to know?

- At&t is my carrier

I really do appreciate any and all help. Thank you!https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-...&_sacat=9355&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0|0
[doublepost=1533231767][/doublepost]And, is it even safe to buy a phone off of ebay? This particular seller seems to have a ton of good reviews and he/she takes paypal. Still, I'm not sure.
[doublepost=1533231884][/doublepost]Finally, if ebay isn't a good option, what are some of the better options out there?

Thanks!

Hi. Looking at it. It seems to be ok. But considering that you have the eBay Buy back guarentee. You should be fine. You should ask where the phone came from. And if it’s been paid off. It it wasn’t paid off the phone will be blacklisted.

Considering it’s sealed. I wouldn’t worry about water damage and etc.

I personally buy from Letgo or Kijiji (Canada Classified) but from the photos it does seem legit.

You're better off buying on swappa.com

I agree. I’d also recommend using swappa.com as they have selling criteria that devices have to meet before they can be listed:
