Explained: How To Get Free Stuff On eBay? [2024]

eBay, a marketplace where you get to explore millions of items, both used and unused, is popular in several countries, offering a wide collection of categories to choose from.

With eBay, you can get rid of the stuff that is taking space in your house for no reason, while as a buyer, you can get a used product for a fairly cheaper price than its market price, when it is still in pretty good condition.

Overall, eBay is about making money and saving money, but did you know that you could also get free stuff from eBay? Yes, you can, but how to get free stuff on eBay? That is mentioned right below, in this article.

How To Get Free Stuff On eBay?

Method 1 (Collaboration)

As you might already know, influencers create content to promote items that they have received for free from brands and individual sellers, where they receive the free product and the other party receives buyers.

So you have to take advantage of this, and follow the guide below to get free stuff on eBay:

1. Decide on a specific product you want to get for free, for instance, a Nintendo Switch.
2. Search for the product on the search bar and go through all the listings to find the lowest-rated product.
3. Contact the seller and mention your plan as an influencer to promote their products so that they can receive buyers, and if you have even a small Instagram following, it will do.
4. Once they get back to you, explain additional details, and also discuss who will pay for the shipping.
5. Once the deal is finalized and they successfully ship the item — you will receive your free Nintendo Switch. 

Method 2 (Free Listings)

Sometimes when sellers want to just get rid urgently, they might also offer the product for cheap or even free as a free listing on eBay, charging zero dollars for it, although you will still have to pay for the shipping and similar costs.

Now, your only job is to search for free listings and buy the product if you think it is helpful for you. 

Method 3 (Giveaways)

Sometimes, some sellers on eBay or eBay itself might offer promotional giveaways (you can stay updated for giveaways through eBay’s official social media platforms and forums), where rules are pretty simple and you could win free stuff easily. 

Final Words

Now that you have gone through all the methods of getting free stuff on eBay, you must also be warned that the methods will not always work for you, and even if they work, you might end up getting nothing out of it. 

In conclusion, although we have several reports that these methods work and have worked for many customers, it is still a gamble at the end of the day. 

With that, we have reached the end of this article, and we hope you now know how to get free stuff on eBay.
