In my own experience, I find 3rd party refurbishers are terrible at having the quality control & testing done thoroughly. Some even went on to claim as "manufacturer refurbished" which is very misleading imo. This is a very good move for consumers when buying Apple refurbished products from Amazon.

Amazon needs to realize that when ebay is safer because of their buyer protection plans that they, Amazon, have a problem.

Hell, I’ve had quicker refunds from AliExpress when an order was dodgy.

Amazon needs to pull their head out.

I've always been suspicious that "seller refurbished" items on Amazon or eBay are simply used items wiped off with a damp paper towel.

A handful of complaints caused by the units that don't work and the seller tries to scam you will result in removal from either of those selling platforms.

And then the same seller will pop up a day later under a new name.

Hell, most first party refurbishers aren't all that good. I can't think of many other than Apple and Nintendo that I'd unequivocally recommend.
