And yes, as Isles8008 says, just ignore the locked/unlocked thing on eBay. It's just their terminology. It's generic in their electronics category item specifics but obviously doesn't apply to things like readers. Describe the item well with lots of pictures and people will buy stuff.

I bought many of my kindles from ebay, and in general regarding kindles, "unlocked" meant no special offers. But there is a LOT of inaccuracy, such as claiming a kindle is a DX Graphite with 9.7-inch eink pearl display, and then receiving a K3 instead. It took 3 tries to finally get a REAL DXG. For the others, I got partial refunds from the sellers if I chose to keep it (which I did) because they were "substantially not as described". You really cannot trust the descriptions or the photos, and having a dialog with the vendor before bidding does not often help either (they usually say their description is correct).
