Refurbished Item Marketplaces

eBay Canada Now Offers a Selection of Certified Refurbished Products

— March 24, 2021 — Business
eBay Canada has announced the launch of a new business that allows shoppers to purchase brand name products for a fraction of the cost that they would normally spend.

The move results from a demand for more refurbished goods in place of their new and more expensive counterparts, with a survey by Leger showing that a majority of Canadian consumers "would rather buy refurbished products from a top brand with a warranty, versus a new product from a lesser brand with a warranty."

With eBay Certified Refurbished, shoppers can access products that are authentic, in like-new condition, and much more affordable. The online marketplace vets all items that are listed in its Certified Refurbished store, ensuring shoppers can make informed decisions on their purchases.
