Check before you pay
- Run the IMEI through a free blacklist check before paying. A blacklisted (reported lost or stolen) phone can be blocked by carriers.
- Make sure the seller has signed out of their account (Find My / Google account). An activation-locked phone is useless to you.
- Check battery health in Settings and look for a 'non-genuine part' or 'unknown part' message.
- Test Face ID or fingerprint, both cameras, speakers, mic, charging port and cellular signal with your own SIM.
- Confirm whether it is unlocked or tied to one carrier, and that the storage size matches the listing.
