The topic of sustainable consumption has become increasingly important in recent years. For this reason, eBay Marketplaces GmbH has asked metoda GmbH to analyze the German market for used & refurbished products in selected categories in the electrical goods, home & garden and sports & outdoor sectors for the second time in a row.

An overview of the results:

  • Refurbished products are available for consumers for 40% of the most popular items in the electrical goods, home & garden and sports & outdoor categories on idealo.de
  • eBay has almost ten times as many retailers offering refurbished goods compared to Amazon
  • eBay has by far the largest range of refurbished items and covers more than 60% of the products analyzed with offers, an increase of 7 percentage points compared to the previous year
  • eBay also has the largest number of best prices, i.e. minimum prices per day, for refurbished products
