Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 24, 2026
FTC Disclosure
Certified Used Electronics participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN), an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to eBay.com.
When you click a product link on our site and make a purchase on eBay, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
This site also displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. We earn revenue when ads are displayed or clicked. Google's ad-serving technology may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites.
How It Works
Every "Buy on eBay" button and product link on this site is an affiliate link. When you click one, you are redirected to eBay.com with a tracking parameter in the URL. If you make a qualifying purchase within eBay's attribution window, eBay pays us a commission.
The commission is paid by eBay — not by you. You pay the same price on eBay whether or not you arrive via our link. The seller's price is not affected by our affiliate relationship.
How Commissions Fund This Site
Certified Used Electronics is free to use. We charge no fees to buyers and no listing fees to recyclers. The eBay affiliate commissions we earn are what make this model financially sustainable.
Commissions fund:
- Server and infrastructure costs for running the listing database and search
- R2V3 research and content production (buying guides, grade explainers)
- Development of new site features
Google AdSense Advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. These ads help fund the free operation of this site.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's Advertising Policy.
Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationship with eBay does not influence which listings we show or how we rank them. We show all qualifying listings from verified R2V3-certified partner recyclers, regardless of which ones generate higher commissions. Our search results and filters are based entirely on R2V3 grade data, price, and recency — not commission rates.
Pricing and Availability
All product prices, auction bids, and availability shown on this site are for informational purposes only. They are subject to change without notice. We sync listing data from eBay periodically, but prices and availability may have changed since our last sync. Always verify current price and availability on eBay before bidding or purchasing.
R2V3 Certification Claims
We strive to only feature listings from R2V3-certified recyclers whose certifications have been manually verified. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of certification status at all times. R2V3 certifications can lapse or be revoked. If you have concerns about a specific recycler's certification status, verify directly with SERI at sustainableelectronics.org.
