Technically they're different. Certified refurbished means they were used and possibly sent in to Corsair for RMA. Amazon resale is usually open-box customer returns. I'm not sure which will have the better warranty.

I've got a Brand new one of these at home that I couldn't get rid of for like 30 bucks on Facebook or OfferUp, never even installed it I just went to a thousand watt. People on local sites want it for $10…

I'd stay away from Resale. If it is Manufacturer Refurbished , is safer bet for me. Had bad experience with Amazon resale. Got a logi mouse as resale, was used and it didn't track accurately. Eventhough purchase was in warranty period Logi refused to fix it. I was able to return to Amazon, but it was just waste of time.
Considering the PSU is central component of your PC, if anything goes wrong you can burn your whole computer. Never cheap on PSU. Just my 2 cents.

Resale is quite literally untested Amazon returns and trade-in. Not worth the gamble. Buy refurb from them directly if you want the deal.

Opposite experience for me. I bought an nzxt gold 750w from Amazon resale for ~$30 - came brand new and has been flawless for 3 years.

You're not wrong, don't cheap out on a PSU, but if you're buying a solid brand like Corsair and not a low end model, the risk is very low. Really hard to fry components these days unless you plug in something in a way it literally won't go. They usually just die.

Who has an easier return process? I'm literally trying to decide between keeping the Amazon Resale version (easy enough for me to test myself) or cancelling and getting the refurbished one from Corsair, though it's been $8 less as recent as last month..

Are you guaranteed to get all the cables with the amazon one? Probably not. I would go with ebay one probably - 2 years warranty. Amazon one will say used on the invoice so good luck getting a warranty unless company expressly allows rma for a used product, which is very rare these days. For $3 more, i would go RM850x probably. According to AI this is the diff:

The Corsair RM850e is a newer, more compact design with a 120 mm fan, produced by a different manufacturer, and typically uses non-Japanese capacitors and a lower 40°C temperature rating, while the RM850x features Japanese capacitors, a 135 mm magnetic-bearing fan, and a 50°C rating. The RM850e is often cheaper and has fewer SATA connectors than the RM850x.
