Looking to buy iphone SE 2nd Gen on eBay

I'm looking at used carrier unlocked iPhone SEs 2nd Gen on eBay. I'm on a budget, and am not very tech oriented. My question is: I've read about Activation codes and iCloud being unlocked, but don't fully understand the issue. What should I ask the seller in regard to the phone's Activation and iCloud status. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. George

The following has information; not in particular the section "Check for Activation Lock before you buy a device from someone else" in Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Unfortunately I don't know of a way that you can check remotely so the only thing I can suggest is to thoroughly research the seller and also check ebay's buyer protection policies.
