Martin Lewis has shared an easy tip to get discounts on online Christmas shopping from major retailers such as Amazon and eBay.
The savings expert told viewers of his ITV show Christmas special to try putting their items in their basket and then ‘walking away’.
He explained: “Log in, put the stuff you want in the shopping basket and walk away. And often, within a few days, they will offer you a discount.”
Hundreds of people write in to the show to say they had secured large discounts from eBay, Amazon, Etsy and other online shops.
One customer with New Look was offered a 25 percent discount after she left her items in her basket for a few days.
Another person said they had bagged several discounts from eBay including a MacBook Pro going down in price from £240 to £180, a saving of £60.
Mr Lewis added: “It doesn’t always work but it’s worth a try.”
