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

An overview of the results:

• Consumers can choose from refurbished products for 40% of the most popular electrical goods, home & garden and sports & outdoor items on idealo.de
• eBay has almost ten times more retailers offering refurbished goods compared to Amazon
• eBay has by far the largest range of refurbished items and covers more than 60% of the examined products 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
