Apple is reportedly selling refurbished iPads, MacBooks and
iPods on eBay in the US.  9To5Mac claims that the store, which
is simply labelled "Refurbished Outlet", is actually an Apple-
run Store within eBay.  "We thought Apple might be testing the
waters to sell refurbished products directly to customers
through eBay, and it seems that's exactly what is happening,"
9To5Mac reports.  "We discovered that this is in fact an Apple-
run Store within eBay. It is in trial, and it could open the
door to much bigger things," the report continues. "No one would
go on the record at eBay, however."  The prices listed on the
eBay Store are identical to the prices Apple charges in its own
refurbished store, and all of the products include a full one-
year warranty, returned to like-new condition, iPads and iPods
include a new battery, they have received complete burn-in
testing, the original OS is re-installed, it has undergone a
full inspection by Apple and have been repackages with manual
and cable.  Apple's eBay Refurbish
