SAN JOSE, Calif.,
June 21, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, eBay launched a
Price Match Guarantee on more than 50,000 deals
in the United States. With this
new offering, eBay guarantees that an eligible deal will be the
best price online, or eBay will match the lower price of a
competitor.
"Shoppers can shop with confidence knowing that they're
getting the best value available on eBay," said Hal Lawton, Senior Vice President of
North America at eBay. "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."
eBay Deals already represent some of the best prices
available. If a shopper finds a competitor offering the same
product for less, once verified, eBay will offer a coupon for the
difference in price that can be used towards the purchase of the
item. Items eligible for the Price Match Guarantee are:
- New: One of the over 50,000 new items available daily
in eBay Deals
- Identical and Available: Both items must be exactly the
same and currently in stock
- Competitors: Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Jet.com,
HomeDepot.com, Sears.com, Target.com, Walmart.com or
Wayfair.com.
Good Deals Everyday – No Membership
Required
eBay Deals are open to everyone and always ship for free
everyday – no membership required – and include trending inventory
from across all eBay categories, such as consumer electronics, home
& garden, and fashion, at a great value (usually between 20%
and 90% off). Over 900 of eBay's most trusted sellers participate
in the eBay Deals platform, ranging from major consumer brands to
smaller merchants looking to broaden their customer base. At any
given time, there are tens of thousands of items offered through
eBay Deals, and 'featured deals' are updated at least once a day
starting at 8 a.m. PT.
eBay's Price Match Guarantee follows the recently
announced Guaranteed Delivery offering,
which will launch later this year and guarantee delivery in three
days or less on millions of eligible items. Shoppers will also have
the ability to search for and filter items by one, two and
three-day delivery.
