eBay Refurbished review

eBay Refurbished stands out for warranty length. eBay says every purchase in the program comes with a warranty serviced by Allstate: Certified condition items get a two-year warranty, and Excellent, Very Good and Good items get one year, starting on the purchase date and registered automatically. Products ship free with 30-day free returns, and every seller must meet eBay's performance standards and monitoring. Certified means pristine, like-new condition direct from the brand or an authorized seller, while Good allows moderate wear. The program only covers items listed as eBay Refurbished; eBay notes that a used listing is a condition set by the individual seller, so filter carefully. Shopping is less uniform than on a single store because listings come from many sellers, and we could not load USD prices from our location. We compared documented policies and published prices only.
