Hello trap115,
to verify the MacBook you could ask the seller of the second hand MacBook for the Mac's serial number (which he can find by clicking on the in the Menu Bar and then "About this Mac"). The serial number he gives you can you paste in here to verify:
Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
The most secure way though and the way I'd recommend you to buy a second hand MacBook is when you buy a refurbished Mac is to buy it directly at Apple: Certified Refurbished Products - Apple
Cheers!
