You can try putting in a different SIM card, if it works then it is unlocked.

Place it in warm water for about 5 years

You open it, and if you didn't buy it yet, then you ask the owner

The ebay listing should post whether it is carrier locked or not. If it is most carriers have methods to unlock it. I went through something similar when I got my most recent phone. I have T-Mobile and bought an AT&T phone (Twice). I tried to unlock it through their website. I was denied on both phones for reasons related to the previous owner. I returned them as the ebay listing didn't mention these issue and ebay sides with the seller.
