Even if the answer is "nothing" it still makes sense they're selling on ebay—people don't know that they're buying a brick, and I'd bet that's extremely difficult to contest via ebay/paypal.

I'm sure there are some folks trying to pass off locked iPhones as legit, but there are also people selling them "for parts" on Craigslist and I'm sure a load of other sites. I was just shopping for some test iPhones for work and there was one dude on Craigslist with a dozen or so new iPhones, all locked for like $80 "for parts".
