eBay’s been pimping a lot of refurbs lately. Don’t know who eBay’s marketing geniuses are but if they think their recycled doodads can compete with brand new things from Amazon, they are sadly mistaken.
“A majority of sellers won’t benefit, however, since the certified refurb program is restricted to brands and those sellers who are authorized by brands and pre-approved by eBay.”
THEREIN LIES THE PROTECTION RACKET … eBay the criminals … again!
