eBay is one of my favorite online stores, because of it’s incredibly cheap prices and ability to purchase almost anything from chase banking coupons to a F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet. Even though the prices are cheap, there are a few little tricks you can use to reduce your purchases by 5%+.
- Shop through FatWallet 1% cash back: FatWallet is a cash back site that gives you money for online shopping, if you use their shopping portal you’ll receive 1% cash back on all purchases and it’s stackable with the below discounts
- Sign up for eBay bucks 2%: eBay bucks is eBay’s loyalty program, if you sign up for eBay bucks you’ll receive up to 2% of the total purchase price back in eBay bucks which can be used for future purchases
- Use a cash back credit card 1-2.2%: You can use a credit card for all your eBay purchases without any surcharge. At the moment your best bet is to use the Barclays Arrival (which will net you 2.2% if redeeming for statement credit) or the Fidelity American Express (which will net you 2% on all purchases)
Also keep an eye out for eBay coupons & e-mails, they regularly send these out to people who used to regularly purchase items and haven’t for awhile. You can save up to another 15% if you receive one of these e-mails.
