Good as new: eBay’s Certified Refurbished program lets you snag like-new products for less

Whether you’re buying a new laptop or planning on upgrading your camera, picking up the latest gadgets can be an expensive investment. If you try and save a bit of money, you’re likely compromising on the features and specs, which may not end up being the kind of saving you’d like in the long run – and can lead to having to replace the item sooner than you’d expected. And that might also be the case if you end up going down the second-hand route.

Thanks to eBay Australia’s Certified Refurbished program, you can pick up powerful, full-featured and recent devices for considerably less than the RRP – even up to 50% less. Best of all, you don’t need to be worried about the quality of Certified Refurbished products, which come with an ironclad eBay guarantee. 

How can they do this? Any product marked as ‘Certified Refurbished’ has either been overhauled by the original manufacturer itself or the refurbishing process has been manufacturer-approved. The products come in new packaging along with any applicable original accessories, plus a 12-month seller warranty. And moreover, if there’s anything wrong with the product when it arrives, eBay’s Certified Refurbished program also offers free 30-day returns.
