On eBay, “eBay Refurbished” is a specific program with grading standards. It’s not just a used item—here’s what it means:

===== The Basics =====

An item listed as eBay Refurbished has been:
* Professionally inspected, cleaned, and tested to be fully functional
* Restored to a guaranteed condition (depending on grade)
* Sold by vetted sellers/manufacturers that meet eBay’s standards

===== Condition Grades =====

You’ll usually see one of these labels:

====== Certified Refurbished ======
* Like-new condition
* Comes from manufacturer or authorized partner
* Includes 2-year warranty (usually from Allstate)
* Original accessories/packaging or equivalent

====== Excellent / Very Good / Good Refurbished ======
* Fully functional, but cosmetic condition varies: - Excellent → almost no signs of wear - Very Good → minor cosmetic wear - Good → moderate cosmetic signs of previous use
* Warranty length may be shorter

===== Main Benefits =====
* Lower price vs brand-new
* Backed by eBay money-back guarantee
* Functionality guaranteed

===== Who does the refurbishing? =====

Could be:
* The original manufacturer (best case—Apple, Dyson, Sony, etc.)
* Authorized refurb partners
* Professional refurb companies approved by eBay

===== What it ISN'T =====
* Not random used items sold “as-is”
* Not guaranteed to have original retail packaging
* Not necessarily brand new

If you want, tell me a product you’re looking at and I’ll help judge whether the refurb listing is a good deal or something to avoid.
