RCBO for Memera 2000 is discontinued, is it ok to buy used one off eBay?

Keeping strictly to the question posed, the only real answer can be 'Who knows?'.

Asking whether or not an unknown, used item from ebay is 'okay and safe' is akin to asking how long the proverbial piece of string is.

Second hand string from ebay? Barely used. Guaranteed.

A used, tested one is no more unsafe than any that is already fitted in your CU.

EXACTLY

If I buy a 'new' Rcbo from my wholesaler fit it , remove it and then sell it as 'Used' IS it really any less 'Safe' than when I purchased it

The obvious no brainer is to buy new with manufacturer warranty

In reality the only difference between the manufacturer's warranty and eBay's is the one gives you your money back and the other replaces it, neither is going to give any compensation if someone gets electrocuted.

Your probably right, bit like the RCBO for our main kitchen's commercial mixer, which has tripped more times than the kitchen's given me hot dinners.

Actually, thats not a very good analogy, but you get the idea.

Depends if you fitted it with an impact driver!
