No, it is new. Look on the right is says Buy New 39.99. Refurbished or used would be clearly stated. As for certified, it is mainly BS. Don't dwell too much into it.
A computer shop that bring items from Amazon to lebanon told me to pay attention because this item is refurbished. for him certified means certified after being refurbished and this is what explain the big discount in the price from 120 to 40$.
If you dig a bit more, qualcomm certified is a designation that the product is compatible with quick charge from qualcomm--nothing more. The drop in price could be explained by many things including trying to clear out year end stock, discontinuing the product line or other factors. There are other items that say certified, but in the US if they are refurbished or not new, they always state that or else they will face all kinds of legal trouble. For example, apple sells 'apple certified refurbished iphones'
example, Dell sells Dell certified refurbished computers, etc.
I am not sure what the guy at the shop was telling you--either he is misinformed or feeding you a line of BS (which is typical for this country).
