Eligible Deals are open to everyone – no membership required
TORONTO, July 7, 2017 /CNW/ - Today, eBay announced the launch of a Price Match Guarantee in the Canadian market, just in time for its summer Deals event, running July 10-18 at eBay.ca/deals. Launching on Monday, July 10, this new eBay program guarantees that eligible deals will be offered at the best price online, or eBay will match the lower price of a competitor.
"Our deals are incredibly competitive, but with eBay Price Match Guarantee, shoppers will have even more confidence knowing that when they shop on eBay.ca, they're getting the best value available in Canada," said Andrea Stairs, managing director, eBay Canada. "This launch comes at a time when we're seeing tremendous growth in the eBay.ca Deals program – in fact, in the first three months of the year, volume was up 75 per cent."
eBay Deals has some of the best prices available in Canada. If a shopper finds a competitor offering the same product for less, once verified, eBay Canada 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* are:
- New: Brand new, in retail packaging, and available daily in the Canadian eBay Deals program
- Identical and Available: Both items must be exactly the same and currently in stock
- Competitors: Amazon.ca, BestBuy.ca, Walmart.ca
