eBay launches price match guarantee in the UK

Earlier today, eBay announced the launch of their  Price Match Guarantee on more than 20,000 deals on its UK site.

With this new offering, eBay guarantees that prices for new items included in its Deals Programme will have the best price available online from a list of six major online retailers, or eBay will match the lower price of that competitor.

The offering will launch later this month, available on all eligible items in eBay’s UK Deals Programme.

How it will work

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 in the UK must be:

• New: One of the over 20,000 new items available in eBay’s deals programme in the UK
• Identical and Available: Both items must be exactly the same and currently in stock
• Competitors: Amazon.co.uk, Currys.co.uk, Johnlewis.com, Argos.co.uk, Tesco.com and Asda.com
