Amazon & eBay Tactics about
- Used and Refurbished devices
- Big company "Programs" (contracts) that require Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (silencing people for 3years)
- People build the platform initially and then get kicked off!

Often big companies have less service quality so "programs" just make a barrier so they have a monopoly instead of high quality quick service from more people (big or small company).

Like Etsy, Ebay is pushing out small sellers and more approved big sellers to play off the smaller sellers.

Refurbished means a lot more than used or repairs (it's all of that + authorised repair + tested / quality controlled / certified / guarantee given sometimes)

Things interesting for repairers
- Unlocking bootloader
- Fixing old devices
- Re-selling repaired devices....

Feedback, customers buy on eBay not really your site... better to build you own of take customers from eBay but not base it all of eBay as you will get pushed or kicked off eventually for profit / big sellers.

Also manufacturer refurbishing is often really bad and just giving you another replacement which is just another to-be-bad same model.

Amazon feedback still today is bad.

Certification is usually a pay to play scheme / creates conditions for monopoly... not really quality control. Again just towards profit and having a badge saying it's better when not always is.
Microsoft MSCE was $5000 - but question and answers are given just before test - just needed short-term memory.
