Before an item can be sold on Amazon Resale we conduct a thorough inspection, testing the condition of each item and providing a detailed description, making it easier for customers to make a more informed decision. For electronic items we will power on, test and factory-reset as part of the evaluation. Based on the quality check, each item will be assigned one of four listing conditions: “Like New,” “Very Good,” “Good,” or “Acceptable.”

· Used - Like New: The item is in perfect working condition and all its essential accessories are complete, though the packaging may bear some damage.

· Used - Very Good: The item is in very good condition and fully functions, though it may have seen limited use and have minor cosmetic imperfections. It may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged and could be missing some non-essential accessories. Missing accessories are shown under individual item description.

· Used - Good: The item is in good condition and fully functions, though it may show wear from moderate use and have minor cosmetic damage, such as a small scratch. It may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged. The item may be missing some valuable accessories and it may not be used until those accessories are purchased separately. Missing accessories are shown under individual item description.

· Used - Acceptable: The item serves its main function, but may have clear signs of usage, including cosmetic damage like scratches, dents and worn corners or edges. The item may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged. The item may be missing some valuable accessories, components or spare parts, and it may not be used until those parts are purchased separately. Missing parts are shown under individual item description.

Yes, your Amazon Resale purchases are covered by Amazon’s returns policy. Since each item at Amazon Resale is unique due to its nature, we are unable to replace an item with its exact same condition, but we may have something similar in stock.
