eBay 20% sale: Why you might not get a great deal after all
This isn’t the first time eBay has hosted a deal of this type. Last year ahead of November’s Black Friday, it was noted that many sellers had increased their prices to make up for the discount. One visitor wrotes: “All the prices for the PS4 and Xbox One have increased by £50! The iPad mini has gone up by £48!” While this isn’t unusual ahead of a sale, it means that even after the 20% reduction you may still end up paying the market value for an item.
