eBay US

eBay US is the ebay.com marketplace run by eBay Inc., the San Jose company founded by Pierre Omidyar on 3 September 1995, so pick your item, then check out through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Individual sellers and businesses list new and used goods across categories from electronics and fashion to collectibles and vehicle parts. ShopBack Singapore's eBay US merchant page tracks purchases made on the ebay.com US domain only. Click through from the ShopBack eBay US page to earn Cashback on eligible fixed-price purchases at the current published rate for the item category.

eBay's biggest promotional stretch runs from 11.11 on 11 November through Black Friday on 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on 30 November, with 12.12 on 12 December picking up Singapore-side demand. eBay publishes its US-centric events on ebay.com, and because sellers set their own prices the markdowns are listing by listing. Whatever the window, click through from the ShopBack eBay US page first and use only promo codes that ShopBack lists, since the terms exclude orders that use other codes.

Amazon has a Singapore storefront with local fulfilment, while eBay US is a US-domain marketplace where most items ship from individual US sellers, so delivery time and shipping cost vary by listing. Amazon suits everyday items and fast delivery; eBay US suits used, collectible or hard-to-find goods and US-only listings. Both are listed on ShopBack Singapore as separate merchants; see our Amazon discounts guide for the Amazon side and the ShopBack eBay US page for eBay.

Taobao, Shein and Temu are built around low-cost new goods shipped from China, and our Shein vs Taobao vs Temu comparison covers that trade-off. eBay US is different in kind: a mix of new and second-hand listings from many sellers, priced in US dollars and shipped from the US, with strengths in collectibles, vehicle parts and electronics. If the item is a US listing, start from the ShopBack eBay US page; for cheap new basics, the China-based platforms usually win.

ShopBack Singapore's eBay US offer covers purchases on ebay.com, the US site. ShopBack Australia has a separate eBay Australia merchant for ebay.com.au, which is linked to Australian accounts rather than Singapore ones. Stay on ebay.com after clicking through from the ShopBack eBay US page and check out there.

Check the listing's shipping option to Singapore, the shipping cost, the estimated delivery window and whether the seller accepts returns, since each seller sets these. Singapore applies GST to imported goods, so the final landed cost can be higher than the listed US dollar price; look at the total eBay shows at checkout. Start from the ShopBack eBay US page once you have settled on the listing.

Go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Click through from the ShopBack eBay US page to ebay.com and buy at the fixed listing price in that visit. On your phone, open eBay US from the ShopBack app and finish the order there. The ShopBack eBay US page shows the live rate for your item category.

eBay US has no single sitewide sale price: each seller sets its own prices, and eBay's own promotions appear on ebay.com around retail events such as 11.11, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so markdowns are listing by listing. Waiting is worth it for new, mass-produced items that many sellers carry, where sale-season competition can push prices down; for one-off collectibles, used items and rare parts, buy when the right listing appears, because waiting risks losing it to another buyer. Whenever you buy, pick a fixed-price listing, go through ShopBack before you check out on ebay.com, and check the live rate on this page.

Sometimes: eBay US coupons are set by eBay with their own conditions on which items and buyers qualify, so a coupon shown on ebay.com may not apply to a Singapore account or to the listing you want. ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code: go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay.

Compare the total landed cost, not the item price: pick a fixed-price listing, check the shipping cost to Singapore and any GST shown at checkout, and favour sellers who ship to Singapore with tracking and a stated return policy. Buying several items from one seller can cut shipping when the seller offers combined shipping. Go through ShopBack Singapore on the ebay.com website before you check out; the eBay US page on ShopBack shows the live rate for your item category.

Generally yes, when you pay through eBay checkout: eBay Money Back Guarantee covers most transactions on ebay.com, so you can get your money back if an item does not arrive, arrives broken, damaged or faulty, does not match the listing, or the seller does not honour its stated return policy. Coverage needs payment through eBay checkout with an eligible method such as a credit or debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and does not cover payments made outside eBay, such as bank transfers, or excluded items such as vehicles, real estate and digital goods. Check the seller's feedback and return policy before you buy, never pay off-platform, go through ShopBack before you check out on ebay.com, and check the live rate on this page.

Shipping is set by each seller, so the cost to Singapore shows on the listing and in the checkout total once your Singapore address is set. For GST, IRAS rules say goods of S$400 or below imported by air or post from a GST-registered supplier or marketplace carry GST at the point of purchase, while for air or post imports above S$400 in total value GST is collected by Singapore Customs on import, so what you pay can be higher than the listed US dollar price. Shipping, taxes and fees are not counted on ShopBack, so the rate on this page applies to the item value; check the live rate before you pay.

Look for listings that show free shipping to Singapore once your location is set to Singapore, since each eBay US seller decides whether to offer it, and read the shipping section of the listing for the service and delivery estimate. Free shipping does not remove GST, which still applies under Singapore's rules. Buying several items from a seller who offers combined shipping can also cut the cost per item. Go through ShopBack before you check out on the ebay.com website and check the live rate on this page.

Yes, going through ShopBack Singapore is an essential step before you check out on ebay.com, so you pay less on the same order. Open eBay US from ShopBack and complete a fixed-price purchase on the ebay.com website in the same visit. The eBay US page on ShopBack shows the live rate for your item category.

Your effective price is the item price you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns: going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for the order, and because it comes back as cash it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. It is worked out on the item value, not shipping, taxes or fees, and lands in your ShopBack account once eBay confirms the order; how much depends on the live rate for your item category on this page.

Sometimes, and the only reliable test is the landed cost: add the item price, shipping to Singapore and any GST shown at checkout, then compare that total with the local price. eBay US tends to come out ahead on used, refurbished, collectible and US-only items that are scarce or marked up locally, while for new everyday goods a local seller is often close on price and quicker to deliver and return. If eBay wins, go through ShopBack before you check out on the ebay.com website and check the live rate for your item category on this page.

Report it to eBay: eBay Money Back Guarantee covers most ebay.com transactions where the buyer does not receive the item, as long as you paid through eBay checkout with an eligible payment method and act within eBay's time frames. Ask the seller for help from the order in your eBay purchase history first, and if it is not resolved, ask eBay to step in.

It depends on the listing: each eBay seller sets its own return policy, including whether returns are accepted and who pays return shipping, so read the returns section before you buy. If the item does not match the listing, arrives broken, damaged or faulty, or the seller does not honour its stated return policy, eBay Money Back Guarantee can step in when you paid through eBay checkout. The eBay US page on ShopBack Singapore shows the live rate before you pay.
