Many thanks for the tip! Saved some £35 on bits I was trying not to buy... (homer)

Buyers' remorse - I could have saved on that battery I bought on Wednesday ....

I may be being very dense here, but...
How does ebay offer a discount on products that aren't theirs?
And how do they do that on auctions?

 

[Sawdust=manglitter]

Not exactly sure, but i think they take a big hit to get more people to list stuff for sale on ebay, which boosts the fees they get!? In terms of auction listings, I have bought something before on a similar deal but the listing ended and i paid for it before the deal ended, so i think it would have to be an auction that finishes and is paid for before 6pm tonight.

You've just made me £452 poorer. Thanks for the heads up Sawdust=manglitter!

They take a percentage cut off every sale made from the seller, so it's covered by that. Plus the discount is capped at £75.

It's about increasing the average order value, plus encouraging people to purchase outside of the home and DIY category at the same time

Another thanks, just saved 33 quid on 167 quid purchase of a few different things so that's excellent.

Saved £50 on an expensive sander I didn’t need

Probably a good job I didn't see this until after 6 lol.
I have used similar deals in the past and got some bargains.

Just bought some cordless batteries and an impact wrench (not woodworking I admit but other work). Was on my list to buy. I'm lucky as I can claim the VAT back which means it costs me 40% less than the selling price. Quite a lot!

 

[Sawdust=manglitter]

Glad people have benefited. Unfortunately i’m not one of them as i’m skint after the OH’s birthday and fixing the car

 

[ColeyS1]

Thanks for that. You saved me the best part of 6 quid. Much appreciated
