    You can see the sellers rating and read the feedback reviews of the transactions, pretty much anything less than 98% positive rating I would wonder about. Check the ratings to see why they got negative feedback.

    This is a pretty good rule of thumb.

    Any suggestions for a "reputable" seller?

    From a provider? (I'm with AT&T)
    I see thier prices seem very high if you do not renew your plan, which I will not be doing since I recently renewed it.

    Or is it better to buy something "unlocked" on eBay? or is there a better place?
    I am completely unfamiliar with these "unlocked" phones I see online.
    Does this mean I simply buy the phone and place my sim card in it and I'm good to go?
    What are the pros and cons to a purchase like that?
