EBay is going after its online retail rivals with a price match guarantee on more than 50,000 items in the US.
This offer does not apply to everything on eBay; it's only available for "new, unopened items on the eBay Deals page." To be eligible, the item should be available on Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Walmart.com, HomeDepot.com, Target.com, Sears.com, Wayfair.com, or Jet.com, eBay says.
So, before you buy a new item off the eBay Deals page, check the web to see if you can find it cheaper elsewhere. If so, contact eBay Customer Service to request a price match. Tell them where you found the lower price, and once they verify the price match, you'll get an eBay coupon for the difference.
"Shoppers can shop with confidence knowing that they're getting the best value available on eBay," Hal Lawton, Senior Vice President of North America, said in a statement. "Our eBay Deals selection has grown exponentially since being launched in 2011. The vast majority of our deals are already lower priced or equal to our competitors, but if a shopper finds it for less, we'll gladly match the price of our competitors."
