eBay publishes its own coupon codes on its Deals page. Add Best Offer, refurbished stock with a warranty and a price guarantee that pays 110% of the difference.
Our verdict
Check eBay's Deals page for its own coupon codes before you pay, use Best Offer on listings that allow it, and look at eBay Refurbished — up to 50% off with a one- or two-year warranty — before buying new. Found the same item cheaper at Amazon, Walmart or Target within 48 hours? eBay's Best Price Guarantee pays 110% of the difference.

Ways to save at eBay
Ordered by what each is typically worth to a regular shopper — the biggest saving first.
Use the coupon codes eBay posts on its Deals page
eBay runs its own coupon codes and advertises them on its Deals page, often for one category or a group of sellers, and for a limited time. Each comes with its own terms: a maximum discount, a limit on how many times you can use it, and the same standard exclusions — gift cards, coins and paper money, vehicles and real estate.[6, 7, 8]
- Check ebay.com/deals for coupon banners before you check out.
- Make sure your items are in the coupon's category or from its sellers.
- Enter the code at checkout and confirm the discount before you pay — it applies to the item price, not shipping or tax.
Make a Best Offer instead of paying the listed price
On listings that allow it you can make up to 3 offers (5 in most vehicle categories); sellers have 24 hours to accept, decline or counter, and a counteroffer stays open for 96 hours. An accepted offer doesn't hold the item for you — it's yours only once you pay, unless you've turned on autopay, which secures it as soon as the seller accepts.[4]
Buy eBay Refurbished instead of new
eBay Refurbished items are graded Certified, Excellent, Very Good or Good. Certified items come with a two-year warranty and the others with one year, serviced by Allstate, and you can return them free within 30 days, subject to some exceptions. eBay advertises savings of up to 50% — that's the top of the range, not the usual discount.[5]
Claim the Best Price Guarantee if you find it cheaper
If you buy an eligible item — new, manufacturer-refurbished or unopened, shown on the eBay Deals page or carrying the Best Price Guarantee logo — and find the identical in-stock item for less at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Sears, Wayfair or Jet within 48 hours, eBay pays 110% of the difference as a coupon for a future purchase. Shipping costs don't count in the comparison.[1]
- Compare the price on the approved retailers right after you buy.
- Contact eBay customer service within 48 hours with the item and where you found it cheaper.
- Use the coupon eBay sends on your next purchase.

5 rules · ebay.com, United States
The rules that decide what you pay
What eBay says about delivery problems, returns, Money Back Guarantee, coupons and Best Offer — the details that turn a good deal into a bad one, or the other way round.
Delivery problems
Report a missing item within 30 days of the estimated delivery date.
Open a request from your purchase history once the estimated delivery date has passed. If the seller doesn't respond or fix it within 3 business days, you can ask eBay to step in — up to 21 business days after you reported it.[2, 3]
Returns
Each seller sets its own returns policy — check the listing.
Who pays return shipping depends on why you're returning the item. Even when a seller doesn't accept returns, eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers items that arrive faulty, damaged or not as described: request a return within 30 days of delivery, or within the seller's return window if that's longer.[2, 3]
Money Back Guarantee
Covers most purchases paid for on eBay.
It covers items that don't arrive, don't match the listing, or where the seller doesn't honour its returns policy. Any payment made outside eBay — bank transfer, cash, money order — isn't covered. Vehicles, real estate, services, digital content, classified ads and travel tickets are excluded.[2]
Coupons
One coupon per purchase, on the item price only.
eBay coupons can't be combined with other coupons, don't apply to shipping, handling or tax, and can't be used with PayPal Credit Easy Payments, escrow or gift cards. Each has a cap and an end date, and if you return an item bought with a coupon, the discount may be deducted from your refund.[7, 8]
Best Offer
Up to 3 offers per item; 24 hours for the seller to answer.
Declined, expired and retracted offers all count towards the limit. You can send up to 4 counteroffers, and the seller can change their mind at any point until you've paid.[4]
4 catches in the fine print
Watch out for
Where shoppers lose the saving they thought they had.
An accepted offer isn't yours until you pay
After a seller accepts your Best Offer, the item stays available to other buyers until someone pays. Pay straight away — or turn on autopay — to secure it.[4]
Paying outside eBay loses your protection
The Money Back Guarantee only covers purchases paid through eBay checkout. If a seller asks you to pay by bank transfer, cash or money order, you're on your own.[2]
Coupon discounts can come off a refund
eBay's coupon terms let it deduct the coupon discount if you return an item, and a redemption used on a cancelled purchase can't be reused.[8]
Change-of-mind returns depend on the seller
Only items that are faulty, damaged or not as described are covered regardless of the seller's policy. If you might change your mind, check the listing's returns policy first.[2, 3]
