So i ordered this phone three days ago and it came in and wanted to do the unboxing for you guys, because a lot of people ask am i going to get scam buying on ebay and you know guys to show it for you guys. I'M going to be doing the unboxing to see. Did they really give me iphone or not here? So you see right now. I you know opened up the packaging here. It'S this generic box. Of course this is a used. Phone was what it was listed for. It was listed for i think, 100, 118 or 19 plus taxes. I had to pay for state taxes, so it came out to be around 125 as you see right off the bat. It'S not even the apple original box, but it's a used phone. So i wasn't expecting to get the original box and we're going to go ahead and take a look at it see what else is included in this box. Oh look at this looks like well. I at least got the charger and the charger here looks, like you know, looks like apple. You know iphone 7 charger. So that's that's good. So far right. So let's take a look at the other things here. Oh hey look! So there's a packaging slip and here's the phone. This is the silver edition one of the iphone 7. There must be a sticker here or something there's like some residue on it, which i think, if you just use your hand or if you wipe it down, it'll, probably clean up. So the seller probably just didn't, remove that. But you can pretty much take a paper towel or a wipe and wipe it down. So those are just residue there. You guys see i'm rubbing it off. Literally, it's like glue residue, which are simply you know, comes off because this is an aluminum back here. So there you go, that's bad! Besides that the phone looks clean and then let's look at the top here looks clean side, looks clean and then the bottom charging phone looks good and then this side, so so far so good and if you guys are looking to buy a discounted iphone 7, you Can probably get it around that price check out the  link  that i've included for you guys in the description section as well? So, let's see if this powers on for us right now, so oh wow, look at that! It'S powering on already! So there's no issues there. So far, so good right, um, of course we got to make sure it's a genuine iphone, not a fake iphone right. So i'm going to show you guys how we can check that as well. Also, a couple of tips and tricks whenever you guys are buying from ebay, make sure the seller that you're buying from well a couple tips and tricks that will avoid you ever getting scammed on ebay, make sure the seller you're buying from you look at their profile And make sure that they have at least couple thousand of feedback rating and at least 95 or more feedback, and you can directly go and check out a seller's profile, see what they're selling what their last recent feedback was before you buy. A phone also always buy. Never buy a listing that does not offer return a lot of the a lot of that you'll see in the description where it says has at least a 30 day or 60 day return policy always buy from those listing. I avoid whatsoever, because those listings that don't do returns are really cheaper and it's kind of fishy, and you know if there's something wrong with you, can't return. The phone you'll have to contact ebay. Of course, if they don't even send you what you ordered and then the other thing is always buy from a listing that already has a lot of units sold so you'll notice. If a seller sold a lot of that phone or something they'll have how many has been sold and you can see the price of the sold, so that means the seller is legit, because they're selling a lot and it's been around and then other tip is you Want to read the description to see what's going to be included as this one included a charger and nothing else, most used. Phones will come with the charger. Some don't even come with the charger. In that case, you're gon na have to go out and buy one. Some of them include haha headphones, like the ones that are used or pre owned, condition that are in pre-condition pre-owned condition or open box condition will have like headphones or something like that. But you can always get the headphones separately and then those are kind of the tips i want to share. And finally, if you guys are looking for a phone to use on your carrier, make sure the phone is either unlocked on. Lock, phones will work on most carriers or carrier. That is specific for you. So if you have like sprint, you want to get a sprint phone verizon get it make sure it's a verizon phone. If it's 18 tier we'll make sure it's that carrier or you can get unlocked ones, um factory unlock one, i believe works on both gsm carriers and cdma carriers always confirm with your carrier. What kind of devices will work before you purchase it so that it's compatible and you can actually use it, so i'm gon na go ahead and set this up. As you see here, the phone is like when you're buying a new phone, it's been already factory reset and we're back to the setup screen. So i'm gon na have to enter this information. I have to connect to a wi-fi if you don't have wi-fi to put your sim card in on this side, to use sim card data or simply connect it to itunes by putting it through a usb cable or so so, i'm going to go ahead and put My password right here so i can start an activation process when you do that again, let me put the code, give me a second. So there you go it's connecting to the wi-fi uh. Of course you want. You need internet here and once you do that and hit next, it will right off the bat will um validate. That is a legit phone and then you you can start doing all this setup. These phones are fully functional. As you see they're good to go. That'S the other thing when you're looking for a listing make sure it's fully functionalized there's when you buy used phones like some of them. I know the home button doesn't work or the fingerprint doesn't work. That'S a common issue with iphone 7. make sure to read it that it's fully functional because the ones that are fully functional or way cheaper. But you know you want to found that everything works right so so far so good here, i'm just going to simply skip all of this. You can come back and set this up in your setting here, apps and data either you can do a backup, a restore from your icloud or connect it to your itunes if you have a backup there or transfer directly by having another phone next to iphone. Next to it automatically detects the phone, and then you can do that. I took like appear to peer back up or simply you know, set it up as new without doing any data. Like i said, even after you set it up, you can always do this later. Apple id, if you're gon na use the services for icloud app store apple music, facetime imessages, all that good stuff with apple services, you're going to want to sign it aside into your apple id. If you don't have one it's free to create one with this device. You'Re gon na get any app or product always allows you to create a new apple id, or, if you can, you can always reset it. If you forgot your password - or you can like, i said, always set this up later in the settings and shouldn't have any issue, so let's go ahead and keep on continuing with all this express settings, so we're gon na just continue with all the defaults which you Can set up and voila, we are at the home screen here as apple when you set up a new iphone phone. The default apps are here, they're loading right now finishing the install, and once we have that it should good to go. One quick check that you can make sure this phone, it's a legit iphone is simply go to app store. So i see a lot of fake phones um. If they're they're fake phone, they will take you to some google play store or some kind of android play store to download apps. But this kind of validates that it is a genuine phone and you're able to download. You know apps for your iphone ios device and then you can of course, you'll need to log in here to do any kind of downloading of any apps. So that's a quick test and then i usually when i buy phones, the some of the tests i'll do - is check out the volume up and volume down, like the of course, the buttons. You know silent power on and off home button here and then the camera. The main functionality like i said these sellers that sell a lot of phones on ebay already girls have and they have tested all of these functionalities, all sensors for gps, anything, you name it. They have a tool to check that and for any reason you find this issue with the phone and it's fully functional. Simply, you know open up a return and they give you a free shipping label to send it back to them. And then you get your money back and you order from another listing. So i don't think i ever have to do that um, because most phones, i've bought so far, and i bought quite a lot. If you guys follow me on youtube. You'Ll see my other channel, where, on my other on my channel, all the videos i have done so far, i bought other phones such as iphone 11 pro pro maxes, all the phones out there, even some samsung phones so check out those videos.
