Exactly. I bought my Pixel 8 refurbished on eBay, and everything came as expected, and honestly in better shape than I was expecting. Find someone with good reviews, check for recent bad reviews, and then go for it. I paid <$400 and feel like I got a really good deal (I also stacked w/ an eBay discount, which rocked).

I bought my last phone new from Google Fi (fantastic deal) then transferred to a cheaper service after the required time, and the two phones I got before that (my SO's and mine) were also from eBay. It's a great way to go, just be careful and don't buy something at the absolute lowest price since there's probably a reason they're advertised cheaper than the pack.

Got a Pixel 5 with a line in the screen for $120. The seller I'm mainly talking about, the one with grades, shows a picture of each phone and any damage.
