Is there a problem buying iphone 5 (unlocked) from ebay?

I was going to buy the new iphone 5 from Isreal but the price is like twice from america.
I checked ebay and they say i could take a new unlocked iphone for 1000$ with free shipping.
Is there any problems that could happen or stuff that won't happen (like the simcard won't work or something).
please answer.
yea and in Isreal it costs 1500$.

Look you ll face only one problem if you ll buy AI5 from Eaby i.e.

You ll get only the sellers warranty for 6 months only on Software issues. No Manufacture's warranty (from Apple). Apart from that every thing is fine.

Hope this ll help you.

  • Is there any risk in buying an unlocked iPhone? I'm out of contract with AT&T, with a 3Gs. My son tells me I should buy an unlocked 4s from a private party to preserve my unlimited data plan. Aside from taking the usual precautions for a high dollar private transaction, are there other concerns? If I walked into an Apple store with a question about using the phone, could they tell its status, and if so what could they do to me? Also, is unlocking a phone the same as jail-breaking it?

  • Can i trust ebay when buying an iPhone? I heard craglists is not as reliable as ebay so i just want to make sure that is true. Or should I got for craigslist? The one on ebay is about 40 bucks more but that is because it was refurbished. I'm getting the 3gs if anyone was wondering. Also are refurbished products good? I want to make sure I do not waste my money. Also the person I would be buying from ebay has a top rated seller award with fast shipping etc. Can i trust it?
