Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Certified Used Electronics ("Site," "we," "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this site.

2. What This Site Is

Certified Used Electronics is an eBay affiliate search and content site. We aggregate and display information about third-party product listings available on eBay. We do not sell products directly, hold inventory, process payments, or fulfill orders. All transactions occur on eBay.com under eBay's own terms and buyer protections.

3. R2V3 Certification — Important Clarification

When this site refers to "R2V3-certified sellers" or "R2V3-certified recyclers," we mean that the seller holds an active R2V3 facility certification issued by an accredited certification body under the R2V3 standard. This means the seller's operations meet R2V3 standards for data destruction, environmental responsibility, and worker safety. It does not mean that any individual product listed has been independently inspected, certified, or warranted by SERI or any certification body.

We use the terms "R2," "R2V3," and "Responsible Recycling" solely to identify and describe sellers who hold this certification — not to claim any affiliation with or endorsement by SERI. This use is descriptive (nominative fair use) and does not imply sponsorship or approval by SERI.

We make no representation that a seller's R2V3 certification guarantees the condition, functionality, or quality of any specific product listed on this site. Always verify a seller's current certification status directly at sustainableelectronics.org.

4. eBay Affiliate Relationship

This site participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN). When you click a product link and make a qualifying purchase on eBay, we may earn an affiliate commission. This commission is paid by eBay and does not affect the price you pay.

We are not an employee, agent, or representative of eBay. Our participation in EPN does not imply any endorsement of this site by eBay, Inc.

5. Pricing Accuracy Disclaimer

We sync listing data from eBay on a periodic basis. Between sync cycles, prices may change, listings may end, and item conditions may be updated. We make no warranty that any price or availability information displayed is current, accurate, or complete at the time you view it. Always verify current price and availability on the eBay listing before bidding or purchasing.

AI-generated content is reviewed before publication but may contain inaccuracies, outdated information, or errors. It is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as professional advice. We make no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of AI-generated content.
