Typically the website will then give you the option to enter your product's purchase date. Whenever I've gotten that message, I enter that day's date and the website has always accepted it. Meaning my product's one year warranty started on that day.

buying any kind of electronic on ebay is always a bad idea, you know exactly what they've been using with it...

Blah blah blah. That's quackery, Wackery! I've bought and sold electronics on eBay for years and never had a problem. Just sold my iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 a few weeks ago, and I guarantee you, the buyers are beyond happy. Be smart when buying on eBay, do your homework, check feedback meticulously, pore over product photos and ask tons of questions before you bid, and you'll rarely have a problem doing business on eBay.

For selling, as long as you are honest when you list your devices, things go very well. I’ve sold dozens of iPhones and iPads on eBay. No problems so far. I just list every single potential issue with the device. I’ve had zero complaints.

As for buying, i would not buy any kind of used electronics personally. I love going to the apple store to buy my devices.

I’ve bought and sold electronics (including Apple devices) on eBay for years. Things have gone okay. The key is to look at the seller’s reputation and history (avoiding new accounts, avoid recent bad feedback, avoid anything that smells wrong). Still, you are doing it with some degree of risk. The more I intend to spend on something, the less willing I am to do it on eBay.
