Should I trust eBay to buy an iPhone 4S for virgin mobile?

I want to buy an iPhone and use it with Virgin Mobile, but I feel like $450 for the 4s is a lot considering the iPhone 5 already came out? What steps should I to be ensured the iPhone I buy off ebay will work with Virgin Mobile? And lastly, does Virgin Mobile really offer a $35/month plan for it? Sorry for all the questions, just curious.

I would not count on it being configurable to work with Virgin Mobile. It would be best to get a phone from them.
My first cell phone, a rather simple one, was Virgin Mobile. A limitation then, and I think still even now, is that it uses the Sprint network with no roaming. If your expected use is where Sprint has a good signal, that can be fine. If not, then it isn't.

Look at the feed back score and make sure it's not as is and see if it has a warenty ebay also has buyer protection

  • Should I trust this seller On ebay? Today I found an iPhone 5s 64 gb and factory unlocked for just 429$ and the choice of color, the seller is a member since 2008 and has a 100% positive feedback, so should I trust him? I asked him and he said it was not a chinese copy or clone The only thing I can't believe is why is the price at just 429$?
