How to shop Second Chance Savings in the U.S.

Last year, customers in the U.S. saved more than $1.5 billion shopping second-hand on Amazon, purchasing more than 100 million products. And Amazon has seen sales for our second-hand offerings grow at nearly $4 billion so far this year.

How Amazon gives products a second life

Amazon builds tools to help customers find the right product the first time. AI-powered review summaries and detailed product information help customers choose with confidence. Size recommendation technology means more than 90% of customers who buy the recommended size are satisfied with their purchase. Amazon also flags products with high return rates, alerting shoppers to check descriptions and reviews before buying.

When returns do happen, the priority is to keep products in use. Amazon inspects all customer returns, testing, cleaning and repairing them where necessary. Items in perfect condition go back on sale as new. The rest are sold at a discount, with larger savings on ‘used’ condition versus ‘like new’.

Amazon donates products that are not suitable for resale but are still in good, usable condition to charity partners, giving them a second life with families and communities who need them. In 2025, we donated or supported our sellers to donate 216 million items worldwide.

“Our latest investment of more than $4 billion in our returns operations across Europe is giving more returned products a second chance,” said Rory Feldman, European director of returns and recommerce at Amazon.

“Last year, customers saved €380 million shopping second-hand on Amazon, and demand keeps growing with second-hand sales across Europe exceeding €2 billion. Second Chance Deal Days give customers even greater savings, with every product rigorously inspected by our trained specialists.”

Where else can shoppers find deals on second-hand items?

Second Chance deals will also be available in both Mexico and Brazil from August 31 through September 6.
