You mean across your “basket?”

Interesting question...

Just spent Bloomin ages looking through eBay and I can't find a single thing I want or need

Yes, so you could buy from various sellers and apply the code across your basket.

Saved £2.56 on a pedal. 

The saving on that particular listing was actually bigger than that, but the starting price was cheaper on other sites.

If you read the T&Cs it looks like you are limited to using the code once.

Ebay must be getting a bit desparate to get people back on there, as they must be making a loss on this by my calculations. They take less than 15% in fees.

Yeah these discounts are common. Must need more custom!

Skull, I’ve converted.

J/k, there is no one god. 

A cap for my head though, yeah. My car is so covered in bird poo I think new rims would be turd polishing (haha!) in the extreme, even at 15% off.

I sold something on eBay yesterday and the buyer rather mysteriously wanted to cancel today...

In the end I bought nothing st all.

At every stage, I outwit them

Saved a fiver off a Hercules stand. That'll do me.

This sort of "deal" puts me off using eBay.  Even more.

Because they seem to be happening more and more frequently.

Last week I bought a pickup for £60-odd.  Today, that would have cost me £51.  Ok, not a life changing amount, but still, I feel "disappointed" that I paid £9 more than I needed to.  After all, we use eBay to get cheap.

Next time I'm going to buy something on eBay, I'll probably wait because I'll assume that there'll be another deal coming soon.



They've pissed off the sellers, now they're pissing off the buyers.  So that's eBay finished - what's the net e-busines model?

 I think the days of effectively paying to a site for selling (ala eBay or Etsy) are numbered. Facebook etc have it locked down, charge free advertising, quality data and location information mining, even more specific targeted advertising. But that’s just my cynical 2p. 

All I know is PayPal are going to profiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
