eBay rules

[dragon2309]

Hi, this may be mainly aimed at geoff seeing as he spends a lot of time on ebay. The question is..... Is it against eBay rules to sell a barred/blocked phone. If it is against their rules, is it illegal aswell. Assuming that the phone wuold only be blocked if its stolen or something??

i dont believe that it is illegal, is it unlockable if they sign up with the carrier that was on it before?

what service was on it previously? if its cingular, t-mobile, nextel, or some other smaller companies i dont know of, then it uses sim cards. sim cards are located behind the battery and even if the phone is stolen you can just put your current sim card in and it will work. and by stolen i meant you found it

i thought t-mobile is the only one that uses sim cards.

tmobile, cingular, and nextel are the major companies that uses sim cards. didnt even know nextel did until my friend brought over his new phone that he found and he just switched the sim cards.

all i see them selling unlocked and original phones i have yet to see locked ones. just broken ones.

I have cingular and from wat i have seen they are the only phones with sim cards. ANd i think that it is all legal.
