How it works

1. Read
Every listing and every option inside it is read for its size, pack quantity and type.
2. Compare
Item price plus delivery is divided by what you actually get, so a pack of 100 and a pack of 10 compare fairly.
3. Check
The lowest price in each group is checked against its own listing before it is shown. The ones that look too good to be true are read one by one. How we check.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cheap2Pack a shop?

No. Cheap2Pack does not sell anything. It compares prices on eBay UK listings and links you to the listing, where you buy from the seller on eBay.

Are these live prices?

No. Prices are a dated snapshot of eBay listings, shown on each page. Prices and stock change, so always confirm on eBay before you buy.

How is the price per unit worked out?

We add the delivery charge to the item price and divide by what you get: the number of boxes or bags in the pack, or the square metres of bubble wrap. That puts a pack of 10 and a pack of 100 on the same footing.

How do you know a listing really contains what it says?

Every listing, including each option inside multi-option listings, is read for its size, quantity and type, then the cheapest offers are read again and checked against their own listing text. Prices that look too good to be true are read one by one. Read more on the how we check page.

Why do some boxes or bags appear under 'unstated'?

When a listing does not say the wall strength of a box or the bubble size of a roll, we keep it in a separate group rather than guess.
