​Amazon has renamed its pre-owned division to Amazon Resale

The newly named part of the business helps extend the life of products by placing returned products back on sale, offering customers savings on a variety of items.

Along with repairs experts, Amazon checks, refurbishes, tests and resells returned items. UK customers saved an average of more than 30% off recommended retail prices when shopping with Amazon Resale last year.

In 2023, the retail giant donated or helped independent sellers to donate over 160 million products across the globe.

Customers can visit the Amazon Resale homepage and browse by category, or enter the exact item they’re looking for in the search bar.

Shoppers can also visit the regular product page for an item and search for “Save with Used” or “Buy Used”. If their chosen item is available, customers can see the details and choose from the options “like new”, “very good”, “good”, or “acceptable”.

Prices depend on the item’s condition with each product undergoing a thorough inspection before Amazon can provide a detailed description for shoppers to make a more informed decision.
