eBay, continuing its online marketplace differentiation, is launching what it characterizes as a first-of-its-kind Refurb Registry designed to equip consumers emerging from COVID-19 restrictions with the things they need to get back on track.

As part of the program, couples can register for certified refurbished products, then share their registries with supportive family and friends.

Refurb Registry helps couples adjust to life in a reopening world, eBay stated. It also introduces consumers to the idea of purchasing refurbished products that can adequately address certain at-home functions while satisfying the need many people have to live more sustainably.

eBay is inviting couples to visit eBayRefurbRegistry.com, answer a short quiz about the current state of their relationships and have personalized lists of like-new certified refurbished products recommended to them.

A recent eBay survey indicated that almost half of all married people wish they could redo their wedding registry, with one-third saying they would add more kitchen gadgets and appliances to the list. With Refurb Registry, couples can find premium products that help them deal with everyday annoyances, whether a countertop pressure cooker to simplify dinner preparation or a robotic vacuum to simplify household cleaning.

eBay asserted that its unique selection of certified refurbished provides products that are fully restored by the manufacturer to like-new condition and come with a two-year warranty. Items are available for up to 50% off retail price, so consumers so inclined can upgrade to aspirational brands. Buying higher-end products that might otherwise not fit in budgets is a big draw, according to eBay, which noted that 65% of Millennials and 63% of Gen Zers said they would prefer to buy refurbished if it saves them money.

eBay guarantees each certified refurbished product with a two-year warranty.
