You may well have bigger issues - having purchased this from eBay. Is your iPhone Activation Locked? It will remain useless to you if so.
See "How do I check for Activation Lock ..." here:
You don't need the phone to be carrier unlocked to complete setup, In fact you don't even need a SIM in the phone at all. You also don't need to worry about which carrier it is locked to. Call your carrier and request they unlock the phone. They will submit the request for you. When they make the request the request will go back to the carrier its locked to for them to release it. I've unlocked several phones through T-Mobile USA this way. The carrier that has the lock is free to refuse the request if the phone was reported stolen or the original owner didn't complete paying for the device.
i can't get pass the set up screen so i can't go to general > about > ...
