The first eBay outlet store was launched by Apple in 2012, however it only lasted a few months before it was taken down. 

All traces of that original storefront ultimately disappeared from eBay before the 2013 iPad launches. AppleInsider later learned that the effort was part of a 3-month pilot program that Apple chose not to renew. Thus far, this year’s store has only listed Apple Certified refurbished iPhone 5 models.
