You would think the price you pay for your used iPhone would be the most important factor, but it’s NOT! The most important thing to watch for when you buy an iPhone, is that your used iPhone has a clear ESN (electronic serial number) and that it hasn’t been reported stolen or put on a blacklist, not to be confused with blacklisting or blacklisted a feature used to block unwanted cell phone calls. If the used iPhone is on the blacklist, you won’t be able to activate it.

Make sure to ask if the used iPhone is locked or unlocked. If you want to buy a used iPhone on ebay, it’s important to know whether or not it’s locked or unlocked. Before placing a bid, ask the seller if it’s a locked or unlocked iPhone. If the seller says "Unlocked," that means the iPhone can be used on any GSM network. If you ask the seller and he says "Locked," that means the used iPhone can only be used with that particular carrier, or network that the seller mentions.

Last, try to arrange some type of return policy, in the event you get the used iPhone and it’s defective or is not as described, and of course only purchase your used iPhone from a seller that has at least a 3 or better feedback rating.
