eBay AU Boxing Day sales: the best deals live now
Boxing Day is just around the corner, and eBay Australia is having one last major sale event to cap off the year. At the moment, a huge range of eBay retailers are offering Plus members an extra 5% off select items, from stores including Big W, Dyson, Microsoft and The Good Guys. Dell eBay’s current 20% storewide sale will also be on past Boxing Day.
But the deals aren’t only for Plus members. On Boxing Day itself, eBay has a coupon code going live that will give 10% off a massive range of eligible Items, and it’s available to anyone to use. You’ll have to wait until December 26 at 10am AEDT to take advantage though.
It’s likely though that the best deals will come to eBay Plus members. If you’re keen to become a member, you can sign up now for a free 30-day trial. You don’t have to wait until Boxing Day for sales to kick off though, we’ve already found some good early deals live. If you’re looking for deals outside eBay, we also have a dedicated Boxing Day sales page.

When is eBay Australia’s Boxing Day sale?
Boxing Day is a holiday that falls on December 26, which is the day after Christmas. Boxing Day sales were traditionally a one-day event, but now the sales tend to stretch on a little longer. eBay is likely to follow this trend by launching its deals a little early.
We’re expecting eBay to have a wide array of products discounted for Boxing Day sales, but whether those deals will match (or beat) what we recently saw for eBay’s Black Friday sale remains to be seen. In any case, eBay Plus members are likely to get the best deals.
How to get the best eBay Australia Boxing Day deals
One way to save on eBay is by becoming a Plus member. You can sign up for a fee of AU$49 a year, and that will get you access to a number of member-only offers, plus free delivery and returns on millions of eligible products. eBay offers a free 30-day trial of the service for those who haven’t tried it yet, so take advantage of this for the big sale.
We’d also recommend shopping around, and checking back on TechRadar for our selection of the best deals. That’s to say, while eBay does often have excellent deals across a huge range of items, some third-party sellers tend to hike their prices before offering a discount, so be wary of sellers you aren’t familiar with.
eBay Australia Boxing Day sales: what to expect
A whole range of Australian retailers have their own stores on eBay, and we’re expecting a few of them to have Boxing Day deals live on eBay. Retailers that will have Boxing Day sales include Big W, Myer, Dyson and Microsoft, just to name a few.
In recent months we’ve noticed that Big W’s eBay is one of the best places to pick up a deal on a discounted gaming console. We’ve seen sporadic good savings available on the Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED in the past two months, so keep an eye out for these on Boxing Day.
You’ll typically be able to get better discounts on Dell, Lenovo and Microsoft laptops on eBay than you would on each manufacturer’s own site, and that’s thanks to the 20% off sales that eBay often has. This is because the items are frequently already discounted on eBay, so to get an additional 20% off on top really makes a difference.
Dell, Lenovo and Microsoft have their own official eBay stores, which we’ll be keeping a close eye on over Boxing Day, though if you’re after a very specific configuration, you might be better off buying straight from the manufacturers as they’ll definitely be offering their own Boxing Day discounts. However, Dell’s eBay store is particularly good for deals on monitors.
Cameras and smartphones are often discounted on eBay, though there’s a catch – some sellers on eBay bump up the RRP of a phone or camera and then put it up for sale. The discount percentage is usually good enough to make the final price worth considering, even with delivery thrown in, but price jacking is one ill practice to watch out for.
Amazon Australia is not a good place to look if you’re after a discounted TV, but eBay most certainly is. That’s because major resellers such as The Good Guys, Bing Lee, Big W and Appliances Online are all found on eBay, and eBay discount codes can sometimes reduce a sale price even further.
