Good evening, I wanted to tell you about my situation to recommend that you be especially vigilant regarding your purchases on Ebay. On June 15, I bought, via an auction, an iPhone 12 mini on the site. I was badly mistaken. The device was described on Ebay as "Apple iPhone 12 mini - 256 GB - Blue (Unlocked)". When I received it, I realized that the phone was locked. I couldn't turn it on. The seller assured me, in his only reply message (when I told him about my problem), "everything was clearly stated in the listing that the phone was locked, there was no hidden defect." That was not the reality. So I sent the iPhone back to a professional so he could inspect it. He assured me "that this iPhone required an iCloud password" or an IMEI. Things I was not aware of. My messages to this seller "a433-14" were never answered. Don't be as naive as I was! Demand proof of purchase for your buys on eBay. and I recommend validating transactions only if item returns are allowed. I am extremely disappointed and will no longer buy on this platform.
