EBay Starting ‘Certified Refurbished’ Program

EBay is launching a destination featuring "certified refurbished" laptops, portable audio devices and other products to meet such surging demand, it said Wednesday. Brands participating include Acer, iRobot, Lenovo, Philips, Skullcandy and Sennheiser. Certification requires an item “be in a pristine, like-new condition that has been professionally inspected, cleaned, and refurbished," said eBay. The program offers a two-year warranty on most items, plus 30-day “hassle-free” returns.
