Epay has messed the definitions up into a useless mess.
I'd expect? a vendor not selling on such to actually test the items.?
Whether they are warranted is a separate issue.
On ebay they've screwed over sellers to the point that it's all but
wasting time to list there unless you sell either really new stock, or
list as parts, junk only.
Any attempt to describe the item as refurbished will mean most buyer
will claim a problem, Ebay will refund them and screw you.

Side question,
if I may, but what does "refurbished" mean within the
context of sellers like this? Board [fully] tested and working? Or
simply
"visually good"? Or have components such as electrolytic capacitors
that
might be marginal from old age been tested and replaced with new
components
where necessary?
It means the item is actually so worthless that if it doesn't work, we
refund you, we still make enough profit on S&H alone to justify the sale to
you. Seriously, none of these guys are looking or testing anything and you
would be nuts to think they would actually do any repairs.
