Second-hand items now price-matched to new items?

I don't get it.

Ebay has a lot of new stuff. Often cheaper too because the fees aren't as high as other retailers.

Does Ebay have the same problems with authenticity as Amazon? There are a lot of fake items being sold on Amazon.

It's a lot easier to see the quality of the seller on eBay. Items are not grouped like they are on Amazon.

And, just like Amazon, disputes are basically a guaranteed win for the customer.

>In order to quality, the item must be one of the new, unopened items sold daily through eBay Deals, for starters.

I think they meant qualify but still, looks like it's only on select new items.
