PSA: 20% off eBay from 4pm today.

Not sure if this has been posted, but eBay will be releasing a code at 4pm that gives 20% off any purchase, paid for via Paypal, that will be valid from 4pm to 10pm.

Code will be released on their Facebook, but will appear on Moneysavingexpert etc.

We told you about the rumour in this week’s email, now eBay has confirmed it. At 4pm today, eBay will release a special code for use at checkout to get 20% off at eBay.co.uk* – we’ll post it here then so bookmark this page.

The code is only available for use until 10pm tonight (Thu 22 Oct). The minimum spend is £20 and you must pay by Paypal. The code works on buy-it-now and auction goods, though auctions need to end between 4pm and 10pm.

You can only use the code once per person, but you can use it on multiple items (you must check them out at the same time). The max discount’s £50, which would be for a £250 spend.

…..amusingly, Xbox/PS4s seem to have magically gone up by 20% already..

Nice one, that’ll come in handy.

quick – list your slightly overpriced stuff on ebay now!

Typical, something I am bidding on finishes at 10.06 tonight 😆

Presumably in a perfect market, any auction would end up 20% higher if everyone has access to the voucher?

*looks through watch list*

oooh, £10 off 20L of chainsaw oil! 🙂

and a Gilbert rugby spot kick tee for Jr.

Ebay seem to be running a lot of promotions at the moment.

Last week I got emails for 75% off all my final value fees and we’ll match your sales upto £30.

These two follow two very similar promotions earlier in the summer.

Ohh hell – I am watching a Charge Plug with a BIN of £150….

Must resist….

Must resist….

No, no you shouldn’t.

What you should do is maybe edit your post before the STW gannets descend on that particular listing 😉

The only thing stopping me is the fact it is collect in person only somewhere 5 hours from me,,,,

Well this would have been very useful yesterday.

🙁

ooo New Garmin…

Ooooh – new roof bars and ski carrier 🙂

Sprinted off to ebay to list a bike for sale and looks for mower..

Dammit can’t find anything I want to buy.

Ebay must be struggling, promotion after promotion.

You can only use the code once per person, but you can use it on multiple items (you must check them out at the same time). The max discount’s £50, which would be for a £250 spend.

Ah well, new car can wait…

The max discount’s £50, which would be for a £250 spend.

Removes 2 grand bike frame from shopping basket… 🙁

CUKFLASH !

From now until 10pm tonight you can enter the code CUKFLASH at checkout to get 20% off at eBay.co.uk*.

Go ! Go ! Go !

Cheers OP for the heads up! Got £50 off a new phone I’d been wanting for a while.

cheers

CUKFLASH

Cukflash??? Really?

Nice – £44 saved – worked on an auction I won just before 4pm! The Mrs has a separate account if I spot anything else.

Nice. £50 saved (or £200 spent!)

Towbar bought . Thanks.

cheers 🙂

Does it work on items over 250 but just deduct 50 quid?

Yes

Cheers

Garmin 810 performance bundle for 211 for me

Anyone know if the seller has to be UK based? Just eyeing up something else

I just bought some brakes from Germany and it let me use it.

Items just have to be on ebay.co.uk, don’t have to be UK based seller

Presumably in a perfect market, any auction would end up 20% higher if everyone has access to the voucher?

Yes but there’s tons of BiN stuff on there. Possibly even more from ebay shops than private auctions.

Cheers for the PSA. Can anyone recommend me an electric power washer from ebay?

Lovely job, £25 off a towbar for my Hilux. Splendid.

Interesting – even with 20% off, wiggle is cheaper on Garmin 510 & 25.

Edit: (unless buying from Taiwan)

A lot of sellers have added 20% onto their prices. They could have just added 10%, so they made more and the customer got 10% off….but apparently that’s a bit too fair for some sellers.

*looks at Zavvi*

Nice one, thanks for that.

Weird as I’d assume that eBay are footing the bill and the seller still gets the amount pre-discount. Maybe if the seller is a business they have some agreed minimum price that the goods can be purchased for with someone, distributor maybe.
