I don't know about ebay but I know that amazon carries brand new productsa as well as used ones. I pretty sure that ebay only has used items unless they just started carring new products.

If you are looking for an item it will tell you if it is a used or new item. I have bought many items and have never been disapointed yet. Good luck.

Yes. That is, they're second hand, or brand new. eBay clearly states in the item description whether the item is unused or not, and what condition it's in. Amazon sells new books etc, but generally has a link to 'new and used' options from third parties that can be as cheap as $0.01 plus shipping, and again will give the condition of the item.
