They did it before (early last year), I guess it boosts sales as everyone wants a 'bargain'. Good thing about it is that unlike Amazon sales they can't raise prices 20% beforehand.

Arse. I spent £50 this morning.

Ta, just bought a PS4 Pro with FIFA, they still gave me the full Nectar points too, plus paid for it on my Amazon cashback card (get points towards Amazon vouchers on any transactions), and clicked through via Quidco, I'll sell FIFA so that makes the console a very decent price overall.

@pjay, I'd imagine that the eBay sellers will receive the same money, eBay themselves subsidise the difference. It's just the cost of the promotion.

Gets the price of a Switch down to the low 200 mark which is nice. Lucky for me I got 20% off mine already a few weeks ago otherwise I'd be raging.

I ended up buying some American import Mountain Dew pop, bit random but I had it in my watch list for ages cos I refused to pay the price until now.

Earlier on this showed if you looked at the price - that's gone now but it applies until 6pm
Not everyone will see the details on front page or in the email they sent earlier.

Used, I was buying something anyway so might as well save some cash.

I didn't find out form here though or HotUKDeals surprisingly, eBay told me in an email.

Get spending people, no brainer if you are buying anyway.

They do these sorts of offers every so often; they are always 'flash' ones like this so you have to make a buying decision more or less on the spot. And they don't really happen often enough for most prospective purchases to be left as 'pending' while you wait until a suitable offer comes along.

Personally I think the main reason eBay does this is to keep their users subscribed to their email lists. The buggers send me at least one completely useless junk mail every day, and often more. "We've got just the thing for you, Freddy! eBay trend alert"; "Nice! Here's what's hot, Freddy"; "We've got news, Freddy - products too good to spook" to name but a few in my deleted box. I've never found a way to make just the rubbish ones succumb to any form of spam filter, especially as eBay deliberately keep changing the wording to avoid this from happening. Best I can do is have a dedicated email address for ebay and purge that folder every so often.

Interesting. Last night I was looking on eBay for something that I want, just to compare it to the cost of the same something that I want on Amazon, for which I have a £100 voucher. There were tonnes of results in and around the same price point ~£250.

Gone onto eBay now and the cheapest I can find it without shopping from Romania and the like is ~£320.

There's one in there at £240 but there's just something iffy about it all.....

[M.C]

The more you spend (up to £375) the larger the discount so I don't see what good that would do eBay. I think it's a smart time to do it as retailers were competing in the run-up to Christmas. There doesn't seem to be many good console bundles, so maybe eBay warned some of the big names about this. If they all re-appear tomorrow then we'll know something was up

You can only use the code once so don't waste it on a cheaper thing

Great, I just bought 25 litres of wheel cleaner for around £17 for the car.

Taking a punt on this, as I dont' know how good it is.

I bought a SNES classic mini, a phone case for the GF, some long 'Pazzo style' levers for my track bike and some crimp on sky coax connectors. 20% off? Yes please!
