    That seller seems a bit too suspect for my liking.
    We've been discussing it here:
    China Ebay Seller Check - New-comers READ FIRST POST!!

    Last week they had GigaPower Superator/Grimlock for $126 shipped which is a too-good-to-be-true red flag.

    Recent : EBay Australia sales .... That were missed.

    5% off your purchase of AU $70.00 or more, up to AU $1,000.00 off.
    Redemption code: BIGGIE5 Expired 07th August 2019

    10% off your purchase of AU $120.00 or more, up to AU $200.00 off.
    Redemption code: BIGGIE10 Expired 07th August 2019

    So If anything I wonder if we are under reporting sales not over reporting them.

    With ebay charging tax and the lack of flash sales, they have lost much of my business at this point.

    So if I buy something that cost $50.00 and I get 6% off then I save a whole $3.00 - which is exactly what I'd usually got on a Topcashback offer. so Unless It's something I was going to buy anyway 6% isn't going to make me buy something If I wasn't going to anyway.

    It might make me look for an auction ending maybe - but that is about the most i'd do - it's not going to make me spend $300 for such a miniscule percentage.

    It's like the other day they were claiming 20% off Games consoles "selected sellers only" well not only was the sale not working for many of the picked out items there was no discount showing up - they were also substantially more expensive than the same console was a few months ago (due to UK currency devaluation perhaps) But I'm not going to run out and buy a machine for Hundreds that is not even a decent discount - especially when a few moments search found the Playstation 4 Pro 1TB brand new with the same 2 games for £10 more than the supposed offer price of a 500gb Vanilla Ps4. That sort of thing makes me super suspicious of "selected seller offers" they seem to be a scam - oh and he Playstation offer I mentioned was on AEO so a reputible outlet.

    I think these consolse offers are often terrible value as they attibute full price to games that have been out months that you can get 75% off with a bit of hunting still sealed. If they add £100 to the price by giving you 2 games that isn't value that is a con. That said one offer I can recommend is to look for defuct sports titles bundles they always get heavily discounted as the games are seen as effectively worthless once the next one comes out.

    I'm literally LOL right now. Can't say I've seen any Puma shoe Transformer before but I could've sworn they had a Nike Shoes Transformer before. Also a basket cap transforming Optimus prime.

    New EBay Bucks offer - ends the 21st August.

    8% on items that cost under $25.00 and for items that cost more than $25.00 it's 10%

    I thought you'd like to know - shame the Topcashback $5.00 cashback offer than just finished offer didn't overlap they missed each other by a few hours.

    No go for me either on bucks deal. Seems I only get those when I cannot find anything to buy. Now that I’m planning to make an order, nothing.

    This is why I set up 3 eBay accounts. So far I haven’t missed an eBay Bucks deal, since it seems at least one account gets the offer.
