    Apple support Back up and sync you 4s with iTunes, then do the same with the new phone.

    Is it difficult to change the sim or will I need to go into a shop?

    No, very simple. A paper clip will pop the sim tray out.

    As said you will need a new sim as well (or get the one you have cut, most phone shops will do for free).
    You say reputable seller, as in based on feedback or an actual shop? Anyway best advice I can give with buying an iPhone is to buy it at someone's home or shop. Just so you have an physical address to go to in case of any problems after the purchase. If the seller only wants to meet in a public place walk away.
