Get up to 50% off with eBay’s Labor Day Savings

CNN —  

Everyone appreciates a deal — but in our opinion, deals should never mean that you’re compromising on quality. As the summer wraps up and people start to get back to their routines, countless retailers are running sales for Labor Day and back to school, but there’s one brilliant, money-saving avenue that few shoppers consider: refurbished products, and eBay’s Certified Refurbished program is one of the best out there.

First things first: What does refurbished mean, and how can it help you get like-new products from must-have brands for significantly less? At eBay, pre-owned items are professionally inspected, sanitized and restored to meet original specifications from the manufacturer. (In other words, they look, feel and work as if brand new, right down to the packaging and included accessories.) You can then nab them for a fraction of the cost – as in up to 50% off of their original value.

In addition to its thorough refurbishing process, eBay also has several policies in place to ensure that you love your new purchase. You have up to 30 days to return your item, hassle-free, for any reason. The eBay Money Back Guarantee has your back if the item is faulty or damaged, or if doesn’t arrive at all. Then there’s the two-year Allstate warranty, which protects against breaks and malfunctions, plus it offers access to repairs and 24/7 customer support.

eBay’s Certified Refurbished program is also great for the environment. If you think about it, the company is giving professionally restored products a second life when you buy something from them. Not only are you getting a great set of headphones for your next trip, or an air fryer for your late-night cravings, but you’re making a positive impact on the planet by reducing your carbon emissions.

So what kind of refurbished items can you find on eBay? The better question is: What can’t you find? Electronics, fitness equipment, tools, kitchen appliances, home essentials — get up to half off on all of the aforementioned things, and with a coupon for eBay’s Labor Day sale (which runs from Aug. 30 to Sept. 6), you can save an additional 15% off. Check out a few of the best deals below.
