Amazon Resale (AR) - previously known as Amazon Warehouse - is Amazon’s official program for reselling pre-owned, open-box, returned, refurbished, or damaged-packaging items at discounted prices.

These products are:

• Customer returns (in good or acceptable condition)
• Overstock or items with damaged packaging
• Products that can’t be sold as new but are still fully functional

Amazon evaluates and grades each item before reselling it, using conditions like:

• Like New
• Very Good
• Good
• Acceptable

AR listings appear on the standard product detail pages under the “Used & Open Box” offers section and are fulfilled by Amazon (often via FBA).
The seller is shown as “Amazon Warehouse” or “Amazon Resale”.

For customers, it’s a way to:

• Get discounted prices
• Still enjoy Prime shipping and A-to-Z Guarantee

For sellers, AR may be relevant if:

• You opt into Grade & Resell programs for FBA returns
• You want to understand where customer returns go
• You monitor Buy Box competition from AR offers

In short:

Amazon Resale (AR) = Amazon’s own channel for selling used and returned products at a lower price - with trust and speed still included.
