"Previously activated" doesn't mean it's someone's old number. It just means the dealer has activated the card, and has usually placed a call or two to test it. Anyway, if you don't like the number you get, you can always change it.

The SIMs on eBay used to be an important source back when TMO didn't offer SIMs by themselves. (My main number started off as an eBay SIM, and I've had a couple more since then for visitors, or to use with an older phone -- without any problems, I should add.) Even now that TMO sell SIMs, the eBay ones are usually more generous with the minutes and can be mailed overseas, so they're good for tourists.
