Reebelo was founded in Singapore and runs online marketplaces in Australia, New Zealand, the US and Asia, where vetted third-party sellers list refurbished and pre-owned phones, laptops and other devices; its US site names San Mateo, California as headquarters. Most listings are refurbished, though some items are sold as new with or without tags, and the share of new goods is not published. Sellers are checked for being a legal business, refurbishing expertise and service record, and devices come from local and international sources, but the company does not name refurbisher countries or publish labour audits of them; B Corp certification is not shown on its own sites.
