About this category
Electronics
Consumer electronics and accessories from retail returns and overstock. This category has the highest per-unit recovery and the highest unsellable share in the catalog, so it rewards buyers who can test, repair or part out and punishes those who cannot.
Repair shops and parting-out operations
eBay sellers listing components individually
Buyers with testing capability
Are the electronics tested?
No. Goods are untested unless a listing states otherwise. Assume a meaningful share will not power on.
What share is usually unsellable?
Typically 30 to 45 percent on returned electronics. Budget for it before you buy.
Do items come with chargers and accessories?
Frequently not. Returned electronics often arrive without the accessories that shipped with them.
