Amazon shuts down refurbished platform Renewed Amazon has decided to shut down its refurbished platform, Renewed, citing increasing challenges. The e-commerce giant has informed sellers of the immediate discontinuation of the service via email. Launched in 2017, Amazon Renewed is a platform where customers can buy refurbished, pre-owned, and open-box products that have been thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure they function and look like new. It offers a variety of items, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, cameras, and home appliances.

Amazon Renewed was a direct competitor to Yaantra, which was acquired by its arch-rival Flipkart for an undisclosed sum in January 2022.
