    Laptops listed as “USED” missing parts

    Too many people Are listing laptops as used that are missing parts. This is not the meaning of used. If it’s missing parts, it should be listed as parts or repair only!!!

     

    Sellers are wasting peoples time by listing it as used when it’s nothing more than parts.

    I understand your concern, and you are right that transparency is important.

    However, “used” condition on eBay can vary depending on the seller’s description. Many sellers list items as used if they are functional but may have missing accessories or minor issues, as long as those details are clearly mentioned in the listing.

    That said, I agree that if an item is missing key parts or is not fully functional, it should ideally be listed as “For parts or not working” to avoid confusion.

    Clear and accurate item condition helps both buyers and sellers maintain trust on the platform.
