What are the best ways to find discounts on eBay?

I would like to know what ways you have found to be the most effective for finding discounts on eBay. For example, are there any specific discount codes you use? Are there any particular sellers that offer good discounts?

@milesrun,

"I don't rush to buy the first product I see. But comparing prices and several different sellers to find the best deal takes a lot of time. Is there a subscription to the eBay newsletter about products of interest"?

eBay does not have a newsletter of its own. However, Store owners can create newsletters they send to customers who have bought from them via email. I believe you can sign up to receive them at checkout. Not every store does that.

When you look up any item, choose the option: Sort and pick the option, Lowest Price + Shipping. This will list the cheapest items first. Now, as the previous poster said, the cheapest isn't automatically the best quality merchandise or Sellers, so pay attention to those things.

@milesrun,

Ocassionally, ebay will send a limited use coupon for a percentage off purchases in specific categories. Other than that you have to search for items and look for the best price on the results page. On listing pages you will see Sponsored items, and by opening those listings you may receive a Special offer from the seller, for from 5-20% off, in your ebay messages.

However, do be aware that many of the lower than trending priced items are sold by sellers who are located in or who drop ship from China. Most of them will not be of the quality you hope for or are actually unbranded items not the brand name shown.
