[UPDATE: eBay Plus Weekend has ended for 2021, but if you're looking for more deals, we're rounding up the best EOFY sales through the month of June.]
The end of the financial year is within reach and, among other things, that means it's almost EOFY sales time. One of the biggest shopping events of the year, where retailers look to offload stock to make way for new models, EOFY Sales promise buyers huge savings.
However, eBay is taking a slightly different tack – instead of an early EOFY sale, there's an eBay Plus Weekend event that, began on a Thursday (May 27) and ends at midnight tonight (Wednesday, June 2), with several different checkout codes applicable to different offers.
Today is the final day of the event, and eBay has already released massive discounts from top brands like Apple, Dyson, Samsung and Nespresso, to name a few, with up to 80% off on select items. There's a caveat though – you will need to be an eBay Plus member to take advantage of this sale.
Not an eBay Plus member? No worries. You can sign up now and you'll get yourself a free 30-day trial of eBay Plus.

The eBay Plus Weekend kicked off with a AU$100 price drop on the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, available for AU$449. You'll be hard pressed to find one that cheaper else where unless you're happy to settle for a refurbished model.
The smaller version of one of our favourite air fryers, the Healthy Choice 5L Digital, was also being heavily discounted on Thursday, selling for just AU$39 – a massive 56% off.
One of the best deals on Friday (May 28) was a SodaStream for just AU$29, giving you the chance to save a whopping AU$90.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus is dropped for AU$1,149 (AU$150 saving) on Saturday, while brand new Apple AirPods Max were available for just AU$759 – a discount of AU$140. Saturday also saw the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine and Aeroccino3 Milk Frother go for only AU$189, down from AU$329.
Owners of a Nintendo Switch has a chance to pick up a copy of New Pokémon Snap for AU$45, which is a decent saving considering most Australian retailers are currently offering the game for around AU$69. And on Sunday, FIFA 21 on Xbox One and PS4 for sold just AU$15 – nearly 50% off.
Most deals are due to drop around midday AEST and stocks are limited so don't delay if you're really keen on one of these items.
Check out our full list of deals below to see a sneak peak at what else is on offer. We'll keep you updated throughout the weekend once new deals are announced. On top of the major savings, Plus members will also get 20% off millions of items on eBay until Wednesday (June 2).
