SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Friday
is almost upon us, but this year's shoppers are eager to skip the
lines. A recent eBay study1 found that more than three
quarters (76%) of shoppers would give something up rather than
endure the chaos of Black Friday lines, including one in four (26%)
who would rather have a root canal. Still, Black Friday shoppers
expect deeper discounts1, so eBay is giving them early
access online – without waiting in line – with its new campaign,
'Don't Wait for Black Friday' deals. Beginning today, eBay will
match prices on some of the most coveted Black Friday deals from
other major retailers, before taking even more amazing deals on the
road with an interactive, cross-country Holiday Airstream mobile
tour.

discounts with new deals every day through November 17, all with fast and free shipping on

others.
