Question

Looking for advice on buying a refurbished 13” M4 iPad Pro—specifically between Amazon Renewed vs. eBay Refurbished.
For anyone who’s bought current-gen Apple tech through these platforms recently:
1. Amazon Renewed vs. eBay Refurbished: Which has given you better luck with cosmetic condition, battery health, and warranty claims? (I know eBay includes the 1-Year Allstate warranty, while Amazon standard only gives 90 days unless it's Renewed Premium).
2. Alternative Sellers: Are there specific trusted eBay sellers, or other reputable sites (Back Market, Best Buy Open-Box, etc.) you’d recommend instead?
3. Red Flags / Checklist: Anything specific I should inspect or test immediately upon unboxing to make sure I didn't get a dud?
Appreciate any experiences or recommendations!
