Selling something on eBay can be such a huge pain in the ass. I wouldn't be surprised if people were willing to pay for the convenience of doing it through Microsoft.



Doubly true if you're the kind of person who owns a Macbook Pro and is considering buying a Surface.


As a seller, unless you're doing $1k+ business a year, you have next to no protections as a seller.

Was almost scammed trying to sell my MBP. Not worth ever selling anything of value eBay ever again.


Probably still much less pain in the ass than switching from MacBook to a Surface laptop.

If they just gave the cash it would be different but now you actually have to buy that.
