I bought one from the same seller for the same price on thanksgiving. For very Good condition, the battery life was at 90%. The phone came in pristine condition, no scratches on the screen at all.

Legit question. Why do you keep buying from this person?

I have been unfortunately having issues with this seller, I bought a "Very good" iPhone 16 plus but got pretty defined scratches on the screen.

I also bought an iPhone 15 plus from them and got one that looked like it had been very damaged and the mute slider was completely broken off. This was for "Very Good".

I then bought another iPhone 15 plus from them which also came super damaged.

Also it is not same day shipping, they ship next day.

iPhones have never had a removable battery.

Which is exactly why they stopped doing it 😂 - well, and "better waterproofing"...

That waterproofing excuse really irks me. Even with their IP67 ratings you still can't tske any device in a pool or in and ocean. Even in a lake they tell you water damage is not covered. Just a joke.

My instacam x5 360 is waterproof to 50 ft and has a removable battery and memory card. I'd gladly give up some aesthetics for better function. The only companies that make true waterproof are ones that have terrible cameras and processors (at least in the past. Where is the Samsung active or pixel or apple versions?)

At least they have a 30-day guarantee -- the 80% battery health minimum is concerning,
The official eBay refurbished program is pretty much risk-free, since it's eBay that stands behind it. You get the 30-day return period for any reason, and you get the 1 yr Allstate warranty for defects if you decide to keep it.

Amazon refurbished if you watch prices usually better. There have full year warranty.
I used to do Amazon refurbished, but I haven't found many deals for the past couple years, which doesn't surprise me, I can't remember the last time when Amazon refurbished showed up on slick deals.

eBay refurbished come with 1 yr Allstate warranty, it's a core feature of the program.

You need to pay attention to what eBay says, their word takes precedence since eBay refurbished is a program they run.

For this item, it's;
"Returns:
30 days returns. Seller pays for return shipping."

You can see the official terms near the top of the page, near the price area. That matters more than anything the seller puts in the description. With eBay refurbished program, you're basically dealing with eBay, they're basically the middle man. When you do returns, you talk to eBay. I've had to do one, and I never had any direct interaction with the seller.

Apple 15 Pro Max (Apple intelligence, usb c, titanium) That's all you need to know. IMO, the picture quality has not improved much since 13 (And it will remain that way until apple brings a bigger sensor, something China did already).

Seems like a good deal given that iPhones are expensive and don't depreciate as much.

I bought one, it will be here by EOW. I'll post an update once I have it. I'm coming from an iPhone 12 PM with battery health under 70%. At $515 it's a pretty solid deal and returns through eBay refurb are easy. The Allstate warranty is icing on the cake.
