Ebay has launched a new platform directly attacking competitors for hopes to grab more interest during the Christmas season.
eBay is launching ‘Better than Black Friday’ deals today, granting holiday shoppers early access to Black Friday savings by beating (and matching) Black Friday Circular Deals ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend. Competitors include Target, Walmart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, JCPenney, BJ’s Wholesale and Costco. Beginning today, deals will be available until November 18, rolling out at 5 a.m. PT daily at ebay.com/BetterBlackFridaywith free shipping, available while supplies last. The sale will include hot holiday gifts from jewelry, toys, electronics and kitchenware, featuring brands like Samsung, Ninja and Apple.
“Pouring over Black Friday ads has become a pre-Thanksgiving pastime for many US shoppers. We scoured these same ads so we could beat or match the best deals a week early on eBay,” said Jay Hanson, Chief Operating Officer of eBay Americas. “Black Friday is all about the amazing deal that can’t be found anywhere else, except now you can. eBay customers will have advanced access to some of the lowest prices this season right now.”
