r/EbayDeals is private. When we checked on 7 November 2026, Reddit showed that only approved members can view it. We know of no public official successor. If you were looking for eBay bargains, auction discussion or reseller tips, the open communities below cover overlapping ground — with different scopes and rules. Read each community’s rules before posting.

Communities to try instead
Good for: Broad retailer price drops, including some eBay Buy It Now offers when the seller meets the community’s quality bar.
Access: open
Rules to know: Sale price in the title; link directly to the offer. No prohibited items, dropshipping or Shopify self-promo. eBay BIN posts need a nationally recognised business or a seller with a very high sales/feedback bar, plus meaningful stock. Affiliate/associate links are constrained; referral signups belong in the monthly megathread. Tag the region when needed.
Checked 2026-11-07 · Current rules
Good for: Buying and selling on eBay itself — scams, shipping, returns, policy questions and account issues rather than a pure deals feed.
Access: open
Rules to know: No links to eBay listings in posts. No personal information, spam, coupons dumps, videos, politics or illegal activity. Scam discussion is expected to stay factual. Account-suspension threads have their own norms — check the current rules and FAQs.
Checked 2026-11-07 · Current rules
Good for: Reselling strategy (often eBay-heavy): sourcing, fees, shipping and what sold — useful when “deals” means inventory edges, not consumer flash sales.
Access: open
Rules to know: Not a marketplace — do not sell items here. No identification/pricing or “help me sell this” posts outside weekly threads. No illegal/immoral sales, tax-fraud talk, memes, doxxing or hatespeech. Newbie basics often belong in weekly threads. Self-promo is limited to the Sunday thread. They are not eBay seller support.
Checked 2026-11-07 · Current rules
Good for: Live and online auction discussion (estate, collectibles, industrial) when the find is an auction lot rather than an eBay retail BIN.
Access: open
Rules to know: Stay auction-related. No affiliate or shortened links. Professional promotion must be high quality. Scam reports need evidence. Be courteous; paid influence and drive-by negativity are restricted.
Checked 2026-11-07 · Current rules
Good for: Saving strategies and value shopping when you want advice more than a constantly refreshed eBay deals firehose.
Access: open
Rules to know: Be civil. No low-effort or off-topic posts. No affiliate/referral links, self-promotion, commercial link dumps, illegal tips, gatekeeping, aid requests or AI slop. Say where a tip applies.

Looks similar, but not a fit
- r/ThriftStoreHauls (profile on SubMouse) — Open thrift-find photos — rules ban buying/selling and eBay/marketplace promotion links, so it is not a deals board. (checked 2026-11-07)
- r/ShoppingDealsOnline — Also closed (banned for being unmoderated) — see its own SubMouse alternatives page for general shopping-deal destinations. (checked 2026-11-07)
Private is not the same as banned: approved members may still see archives, but casual visitors cannot. eBay listing links are restricted or banned in several of these communities. None is an official replacement for r/EbayDeals, and posts can still be removed. Statuses come from the live community page on the check date; Reddit can lift or change a ban at any time.
