Hey friends! I have been using eBay for years to find the best deals on clothing items, electronics, one-of-a-kind treasures and memorabilia, toys for my kids, and more recently on home related products (see my post about my favorite eBay bedding (here) and my eBay budget friendly kitchen update (here))! From all that searching for the best deals, bidding, and buying on eBay’s website, I’ve learned some valuable tips on how to save BIG especially on must-haves items for your home (like Dyson vacuums and KitchenAid Mixers). With the holiday season fast approaching, I partnered with eBay to share my best shopping advice and highlight a couple of my favorite items that I’ll be using on repeat all season long!

I hate vacuuming. There I said it.😂 Lugging my big and heavy upright vacuum, up and down the stairs, constantly changing the plugs so the cord can reach into every room is just about the last thing I want to do. But with 3 kids and a dog, it’s something I have to do it every single day! Well, my new cordless Dyson cordless vacuum has been a TOTAL game changer for me! I love this vacuum!! And now I’m wondering how I ever lived without it? The best part is that eBay has some amazing deals on both new and refurbished Dyson cordless vacuums including the same vacuum as I have! They even have a Dyson outlet on eBay where you can find amazing deals on all the Dyson line of products (there are even some steals on Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryers too)! And right now through 10/14/18 there is a huge sale on Dyson products sold through the eBay Dyson Outlet!!! All Dyson products through the Dyson outlet are 25% off using the code: “JUSTDYSON”!!

While there are a ton of different Dyson cordless vacuums to choose from, my Dyson V8 Animal+ Vacuum is fabulous and so easy to use. It’s lightweight, powerful, versatile, and makes vacuuming infinitely less cumbersome (and it actually makes me not hate vacuuming)! I have a charger station mounted on the wall in my garage and when I want to vacuum I can just grab it and go! You can get 40 minutes of suction time on the vacuum before charging. I can go from room to room, carpet to wood floors, up and down the stairs on a single charge!
One of the worst parts of vacuuming for me is my stairs. It’s always so hard and awkward with a large upright vacuum, but with the lightweight Dyson, it so easy! You can also change out the vacuum attachments to customize the type of cleaning you need! I like the small motorized attachment for the stairs because its lightweight and the powerful suction gets up all the dirt and pet hair! And I use the narrow stick attachment to get those hard to reach spots like my mantle. The vacuum also has a HEPA filtration system that captures all the allergens and expels cleaner air.
I purchased my vacuum new, and in fact, 80% of the items sold on eBay are new and are available through the “Buy it Now” option. However, if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, there are some really good refurbished cordless Dyson vacuums to choose from on eBay, and many come with manufacturer warranties and ALL come eBay’s money back guarantee! The money back guarantee ensures that you receive the item you ordered in the promised time frame. I recently had an experience with an eBay item that arrived broken. I was able to use the eBay guarantee to have the company resend it (and over-nighted it to me, in fact!).
EBAY TIPS AND TRICKS
There’s many different strategies you can use when searching for items on eBay to ensure you’re finding exactly what you want, with the best deal available. When you go to search for Dyson vacuum in eBay’s search bar, you can edit your search options to include only “new” or “used” items depending on your preference. A trick of experienced “eBayers” is to try to search for your item and actually misspell the words in your search. You never know when someone accidentally misspelled the word “vacuum” as “vaccuum,” for example, and you could end up finding a hidden killer deal! You can also save time by creating an eBay “saved search”. Ebay will send you email alerts when new items within your search criteria pop up!
There is also a search option to include items that you can bid on if you want to try to get an extra low price. Expert Tip….. Save your absolute highest bid your willing to go until the end! Make sure you note the time when the auction is ending because in my eBay bidding experience, most of the bidding happens in the last 5 minutes (and even the last 60 seconds) of the auction time frame, and you will want to be there to try to outbid the last remaining bidders! Also, make sure that you always check out the seller’s reviews and feedback rating to ensure you are ordering from a reputable seller!

CHECK EBAY’S DAILY DEALS AND SALES EVENTS
Another item that I couldn’t live without in my household, especially during the holiday season with all the Christmas baking we do, is my KitchenAid Stand Mixer! These mixers are pricey, so eBay’s KitchenAid store is a great place to search for some amazing deals on them. I love having these high capacity mixers for my holiday baking because it cuts down on the preparation time, allows me to be more efficient in the kitchen, and also because it allows my kids to be be able help with the mixing duties by just adding the ingredients! Make sure you check eBay’s Daily Deals as well as their Sales and Events page because money saving deals on both Dyson and KitchenAid are often featured in these areas. In fact, right now eBay is featuring an event on Kitchen items which includes some great deals on KitchenAid products!
