Bought an iPhone off ebay will it unlock after 2 months of service?
Probably not. if the phone has two days of warranty left on it then it was first activated two days short of a year ago. given that, and the fact that it is not unlocked says something is up with that phone. How do you know it is locked to tracfone? Could be locked to anyone. tracfone only unlocks phones they sell and that are activated with “bought from tracfone” activation using the sim that came with it. They do not unlock phone activated with bring your own device sims as they have no reason to get involved with unlocking your own device. The best thing to do is return the phone.

I recently purchased an iPhone X on 11.01 off EBay and it’s in demo mode. Any ideas of how I could remove it so I am able to use it as a normal phone?
Sounds like it’s stolen from a store to me, pretty sure they have registered serial numbers and MDM so you can’t do just that

Your only option is to activate it on Sprint, then have it unlocked.
This assumes it isn't a lease (highly likely), has not been reported stolen, and isn't now or in future blacklisted.
Go get another Sprint SIM for the iPhone X, and activate it.
If you are lucky it was purchased in full through Apple, wasn't stolen, and isn't a Sprint lease.

Check the IMEI and it will tell you who the phone is sim locked too.

So I bought this iPhone x on eBay last night that said new and unlocked for only 450. I’m starting to worry that I was sold a bad phone or a knock off. The seller has no ratings whatsoever, but I’m assuming that, even though the seller has no refunds, eBay will assure me that I bought a legitimate product. I tried contacting the seller after I bought it but I still haven’t received a reply. What should I do?
