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. eBay is also offering 10% off a massive range of eligible Items, and anyone is able to take advantage of the discount.

Razer Blade 17 gaming laptop | i7 / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 3070 | AU$4,499 AU$3,325 on eBay (save AU$1,174)
Razer's huge-but-sleek 17.3-inch Blade gaming laptop isn't quite as well specced as the Blade 15 above, but it's still a very powerful machine in terms of CPU, RAM and storage, and you do get a bigger and higher-res 165Hz display too, which should make for a more immersive experience if you're playing directly on the lappy. Already decently discounted, eBay Plus members can score an extra 5% off the deal price by using the code PLUSDEC5 at checkout.

The Dell XPS 13 is one of our favourite laptops, and this model comes equipped with an 11th-gen Intel i7 processor, alongside 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, so you can expect excellent performance. It’s a sleek piece of kit with a gorgeous display and plenty of power. To knock 20% off the listed price, enter the code PSLDELL at checkout.
Alienware m15 R6 | i7 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD / RTX 3070 | AU$3,099 AU$2,280 on Dell eBay (save AU$819)
This Alienware laptop is packing an 11th-gen i7 processor, backed up by an RTX 3070 GPU (which can cost upwards of AU$1,400 when bought on its own). You’re also getting a good amount of RAM, but we would’ve liked to have seen more than a 256GB SSD. If you’re keen to buy, you can now save AU$819 when you buy from Dell’s eBay store using the code PSLDELL.
Alienware Aurora R10 gaming desktop | Ryzen 7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD + 2TB HDD / RTX 3070 | AU$3,699 AU$2,159.20 on Dell eBay (save AU$1,539.80)
This pre-built gaming desktop gets you incredible AMD power. Inside you’ll find a Ryzen 7 5800 CPU, working alongside the RTX 3070 (which costs around AU$1,400 when bought on its own). Our review found it can get pretty noisy, but if you’d like to save a huge chunk of cash this deal is hard to pass. Available at Dell’s eBay store with the code PSLDELL.
Dell G15 (5511) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD / RTX 3060 | AU$2,599 AU$1,799 on Dell eBay (save AU$800)
This is the newest version of the Dell G15 gaming laptop, and it comes equipped with an 11th-gen Intel i7 CPU and an RTX 3060 GPU. We haven’t spent time with this laptop yet, but online user reviews are mostly positive which certainly bodes well. For all that grunt, you’ll pay a discounted price of AU$1,799 – just enter the code PSLDELL at checkout.
Dell G15 (5515) | Ryzen 5 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD / RTX 3050 | AU$1,499 AU$969 on Dell eBay (save AU$530)
For a very affordable gaming laptop, this Dell G15 is down to just AU$969. You can’t expect top-notch specs at that price, but you’re getting a decent AMD Ryzen 5 5600H chip and an RTX 3050 GPU. The downside is you’re only getting 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but for some casual gaming, it should work a treat. Use the code PSLDELL to get the discount.

If you’re looking for a versatile laptop, we think this Inspiron 2-in-1 is a bargain at AU$1,299. You’re getting Intel’s latest i7 chip, plus 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Apple AirPods Max | AU$899 from AU$649 (save AU$235.90)
It’s rare for Apple products to get a discount at all, let alone one where you save over 25% on the retail price. The AirPods Max are the pinnacle of Apple’s personal audio lineup, with noise-cancelling, spatial audio and a stylish design. Use the code SNSBD to score this extra discount on the already reduced price for all colours. Note that pink is the cheapest at AU$649, or the silver can be had for AU$680.

LG 55-inch C1 OLED TV | AU$2,795 AU$1,926 on Bing Lee eBay (save AU$869)
We rate the LG C1 as the best OLED TV you can currently buy, and for Boxing Day the 55-inch model is now at its all-time low of AU$1,926 (that’s cheaper than its Black Friday price of AU$2,035). The set produces colourful, bright and rich picture quality in 4K/HDR, and there are four HDMI 2.1 ports if you want to use the screen for gaming. Use the code BD10OFF at checkout for the full discount.
LG 65-inch C1 OLED TV | AU$3,999 AU$2,695.35 on Bing Lee eBay (save AU$1,303.65)
LG’s 65-inch C1 model is at the top of our best TVs list, with vibrant colours, incredibly clear imagery and the kind of true blacks that only OLED can deliver.

Sony 65-inch A80J Bravia OLED TV | AU$3,795 AU$3,250 on The Good Guys eBay (save AU$545)
Sony's 65-inch A80J OLED TV goes head to head with LG's similar C1 OLED. It's seen a nice price cut for Boxing Day, with the Google TV-powered telly now only AU$3,250 at either Bing Lee or The Good Guys' eBay stores.

Smartwatches
Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (45mm, LTE) | AU$849 AU$376.20 on Mobileciti eBay (save AU$472.80)
The Watch 3 was recently replaced by the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, so while you’ll be missing out on some software upgrades, you’ll pay a fair whack less for this version. It has the looks of a classic timepiece, and it’s easy to use as the physical rotating bezel allows you to zip through apps. This is the larger 45mm option with LTE, use the code PLUSDEC5 at checkout to get the full discount.
Appliances
Breville The Barista Express (BES870) | AU$699 AU$539.10 on Bing Lee eBay (save AU$159.90)
This is an excellent deal on our favourite coffee machine.

Plus members can get this deal using the code PLBD5.
Dyson V7 Motorhead Origin | AU$599 AU$379.05 on Dyson eBay (save AU$219.95)
The Dyson V7 Motorhead Origin is an older model, but it still promises up to 30 minutes of powerful suction. That said, those in smaller homes will likely get the best out of it.

Dyson V8 Absolute | AU$899 AU$569.05 on Dyson eBay (save AU$329.95)
Dyson has slashed AU$300 off the V8 Absolute, but if you’re an eBay Plus member, you can nab it for even less.

MasterPro Ultimate Pizza Oven | AU$109 AU$78.25 on Peter’s of Kensington eBay (save AU$30.75)
Most Aussie retailers are selling this pizza oven for AU$109, but if you buy from Peter’s of Kensington’s eBay store you can grab it for just AU$78.25. While we haven’t reviewed this unit, online user feedback is very positive, which certainly bodes well. Use the code PBDS5 to bag this price.
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.
