What is refurbished?

A refurbished product is one that has been expertly restored and tested by the manufacturer or qualified seller. Products are cleaned, repaired, and reconditioned to 100% functionality and then repackaged with new accessories.  eBay offers the best value on the biggest selection of refurbished products from sellers you can trust.

Every product goes through extensive testing to make sure it meets the highest standards for each condition.  Products are assigned a condition so you know exactly what you’re getting.  You can choose from good condition, very good, excellent, and certified.
