How to fix RefurbMe not working
Refurb.me is a price comparison site for refurbished electronics, bringing offers from many sellers into one place. If it is not helping you right now, the cause is usually your connection or browser, a search filter, or an offer that has changed on the seller's side. Find your problem below. Each list starts with the quickest check.
Jump to what you are seeing
Website Down
The Refurb.me site does not load. This is usually your network or a regional issue.
- Open the site in a private window and on another network.
- Check status.refurb.me for an active incident.
- If other sites load for you, ask your IT team to check that Refurb.me is not blocked by a filter.
Search Not Working
A search returns no results, or results that do not match the product you typed.
- Try a simpler term, such as the brand and model number, without extra words.
- Check that no filter is set to a country, condition or price range that excludes the product.
- Clear the filters, search again, then add them back one at a time to see which one hides the results.
- If search returns nothing for every item, check the status page for an incident.
Alerts Not Sending
Price or stock alerts do not reach your email or phone. The alert setting, a spam filter or your phone's notification settings are the usual causes.
- Check the alert is still switched on for the item you saved.
- Check your spam or junk folder for emails from the site.
- On a phone, check that notifications are allowed for the site or app.
- Create one new alert and test it, so you know whether all alerts or only one are affected.
Login Failed
Sign-in to your account is refused, so saved alerts and lists may not show.
- If the message says the password is wrong, reset it and check spam for the email.
- Make sure you use the email address you signed up with.
- Try a private window to rule out an old session.
Broken Links
A link to a seller or product page leads to an error or to a page that no longer exists. Sellers often remove listings, so a broken link is not always a fault on the site.
- Search for the product again on the site, since the listing may have moved or sold out.
- Check the link was not cut off when it was copied.
- If a link from the site itself keeps failing, report it with the page address and the time.
Price Inaccuracy
A price, condition grade or warranty shown on the site does not match the seller's page. Prices change quickly, so a page can be out of date until it is refreshed.
- Open the seller's page and check the price, condition and warranty there. The seller's page shows the current offer.
- Reload the Refurb.me page to see whether the figure has been updated.
- Check the currency, and any delivery or tax included, before comparing prices.
- If the difference remains, report the item name, the seller and the time you saw the mismatch.
Still not working?
If it still does not work, use the contact or help option on refurb.me. Have the page address, the item name, the seller, the exact problem, and the time you saw it with your time zone. Live incident updates are on status.refurb.me.
Most problems on a price comparison site come from an out-of-date page, a filter or a setting, and a refresh often shows the current picture. This page shows live status, so you can see when the site reports an issue.
