Today’s newsletter sponsor: eBay

Refurbished on eBay is the UK's largest multi-category recommerce destination — connecting brands, retailers and refurbishers with 136 million buyers worldwide.

From electronics to golf, appliances to homewares, our Refurbished and Open-Box conditions turn returns, refurbished & surplus inventory into revenue at scale. Whether you're a brand looking to recover value & protect other channels, or a refurbisher scaling volume, we'll build a partnership that delivers.

Circular Showcase: Refurbr

The numbers above give an indication of just how much activity is now being managed through Refurbr.

Built specifically for refurbishment and circular technology businesses, Refurbr brings inventory, buybacks, sales, warehousing and finance together in one platform, giving businesses greater visibility and control across their operations.

And the platform continues to evolve under Ryan Aston’s leadership. Refurbr recently launched a completely refreshed interface, designed to make everyday tasks faster and easier. New functionality includes Global Search across assets, orders, products and returns, alongside a customisable Launchpad and redesigned Operations Panel.

Behind the scenes, Refurbr has also upgraded the technology that powers the platform, allowing some updates to be released in as little as one minute. And there’s plenty more to come, including drag-and-drop reporting, custom asset labels and improvements to how businesses manage customer and marketplace returns.

We’re also pleased to announce that Refurbr has become a Circular Connect Member 🥳 Having previously worked together through our directory, newsletter sponsorship and showcases, we’re excited to continue supporting the team and sharing their progress with the Circular Connect community.
