$650 got you one you cannot use.


While Verizon was required to sell unlocked iPhones, that is not the case for other retailers.,


If the iPhone was originally bought from say Best Buy, it would lock to the first carrier used. Verizon can then unlock it if the want to however.


You'll need to return it to Ebay and ask for a refund. If it was advertised as unlocked it was misrepresented.

Did you check for activation lock, as I suggested? Or would you rather risk being out $650?


A clean IMEI does not mean it was not stolen. As there is no reliable way to find out if the imei is “clean” you still don’t know whether it was stolen, or if the seller plans to report it stolen to collect the insurance after having your money. A very common scam.


The reason I keep harping on this is the price you paid is way below market, and if something is too good to be true it is usually not.
