...re oil heat, or other stuff being the cause of turbo death.
I suspect that if turbos are subjected to any substantial amount of time with a non-functioning wastegate, that the turbo cartridge has a harder time resisting heat effects because it's not turning fast enough. This can be the result of the old, famous fallen-off wastegate rod.
PSIVART, if the turbo's seized, it's improbable that it can be rebuilt by a non-professional (which would be expensive anyway), so you're right to search for a used unit. You might also cut your risk by spending a bit more and buying from a reputable scrapyard that can back up their product. Hard to know what to expect from an Ebay item.
I've had great experiences with Goldwing (not affiliated, etc., etc.).
