Check shutter count, sensor condition, lens mount, body wear, all controls, autofocus performance, and battery condition. Always ask for test shots and verify the camera powers on and functions correctly.

Are refurbished cameras reliable?

Yes, refurbished cameras from reputable sellers are reliable. They have been tested and cleaned, and eBay's Money Back Guarantee provides buyer protection. Always check the seller's feedback score and purchase through official eBay listings.

How do I know if I'm getting a good deal?

Compare prices across multiple marketplaces. Check the shutter count and condition grade. Research the camera's typical used price. Factor in seller reputation and return policies.

What is shutter count and why does it matter?

Shutter count is the number of photos a camera has taken. Most cameras are rated for 100,000-300,000 actuations. A lower shutter count indicates less use. Use free tools like ShutterCount.com to check a camera's shutter count from sample photos.
