Here’s where I’ll post any particularly decent eBay deals and offers, whether selling or buying!
As you’d expect there are thousands of different products! Often you’ll see well-known shops selling on eBay now at prices less than their own website. Office and Argos are just some with “outlet” shops on eBay.
The ones to watch out for are a 20% off at eBay flash sale which tends to happen between Christmas and New Year, and similar discounts throughout the year.
Some articles on the blog contain affiliate links, which provide a small commission to help fund the blog. However, they won’t affect the price you pay or the blog’s independence. Read more here.
Buying offers
Leap Day: 20% off
For Leap Day, eBay is offering 20% off at specific merchants using the code LEAP20. It runs until 11:59pm on 29 February 2024 and there’s a minimum spend of £9.99 and a maximum discount of £75.
You need to pay with PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card, or debit card using the code. You can do so up to three times. There are more than 1,000 merchants available to buy from.
Make sure you compare prices elsewhere though as it might be cheaper at another retailer even with eBay’s discount.
You can also get 3% cashback using Quidco, and if you haven’t got an account yet, you can get a welcome bonus of £20.
30x Nectar points on Valentine’s Day (ended)
This offer is running just for one hour (between noon and 1pm) on Tuesday 14 February 2023. You’ll get 30 points per £1 spent. That is the equivalent of 15% back, though you can only get this on one purchase. You must also have paid for the item in this hour, so don’t leave it too late in case there’s an issue.
You’ll need to spend at least £10 and you’ll only get the bonus points on the first £300 spent. Make sure you activate the offer too!
£5 or £15 vouchers when you buy two or more items (expired)
This deal runs until 28 November 2022 and rewards you for buying non-new items (including both second-hand and refurbished) with coupons to spend on the site.
Buy two items and you’ll get a £5 voucher, increasing to £15 if you buy five items. You can only redeem one voucher per user.
20% off on eBay (expired)
Another eBay deal, this time offering 20% off second hand or refurbished at selected retailers. The code for 20% is BETTER20. The code expires at midnight on 24 November 2022
There’s a minimum spend of £9.99. Retailers include Currys, Crampton & Moore and Music Magpie. The code can be used three times.
Do always price check elsewhere before buying though as they could be cheaper even without the discount.
Selling offers
