There is a huge difference between a refurbished item and a used item. A used item was once owned by another and is sold as is. A refurbished item is one that has been cleaned up and fixed, sometimes by the original manufacturer.
Refurbished items are refurbished at the factory, usually come factory sealed. Refurbished are a better by than reconditioned which are used items which have been repaired by the retailer. The benefit of buying a refurbished item is that there are substantial cost benefits over buying a new item. The risks of buy a defective item is far lower than when buying a reconditioned item.
Yes. Refurbished electronics are often sold on Ebay. I recommend that you are careful when purchased the refurbished electronics. Many are refurbished by factories, but some are only refurbished by third parties that can't guarantee the item will work as good as it should.
A refurbished product is a factory inspected and tested item that may have minor scratches or blemishes. In my opinion its as good as new.
Items that are sold and then returned to the store were returned for a reason. Sometimes, it's because the product was defective in some way. In many cases, the manufacturer will repair the item and restore it to "like new" condition - but it is not actually "new", since it was sold to a customer already. These items are called "refurbished", meaning that it is as good as a new item. Or at least, the manufacturer or distributor says it is. If you purchase a refurbished item, be sure that you carefully check it to ensure that everything works as advertised and that it has all the proper parts.
