Not sure what you mean here. Refurbished means that a seller has brought an item to the
original operating specs and that the item will operate as it should. This is also eBay's
meaning of refurbished. So I am not sure why you think they "screwed" it up.
I have several friends who sell on ebay. All were screwed over by
buyers who used any other descriptions other than New or Parts only to
obtain refunds at the expense of them. YMMV.
I agree with your definition, and if you read what I said, anywhere you
wish to use those definitions in a reasonable way that is what it should
mean.
And I separated another attribute, Warranty from that. Refurbishment
claims things that relate to warranty. Is it certified by you on
shipping, and is a "theshold" warranty? Is it for a certain period of
time to remain functioning?
Such questions are hard to agree on on very old equipment. Also the
equipment such material is inserted into can be a big factor and wipe
out a good part, so you have to know as a vendor if you can trust the
situation you are shipping your parts into. An experienced organization
who has done support and probably won't do something w/o care and
experience, or those who may not be able to.
I supported 8 ways for several years, and learned who I could trust when
something I tested good came back under warranty, and those I had to
deal with differently.
I just mentioned ebay as they make the definition there not much use.
