'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
eBay just launched a Labor Day coupon code: Enjoy 15% off tech
Labor Day is fast approaching, and eBay is offering customers a further 15% off its technology sale ahead of the US celebration.
The online marketplace is where you can find anything from second-hand clothing to furniture. However, there's also a dedicated area for new and refurbished technology, including smartphones, laptops, smart Internet of Things (IoT) devices, gaming consoles, headphones, drones, and more.
Sales are fairly frequent, and sometimes you can find a real steal or two. One of our current favorites is the LG 27" Ultragear 240Hz gaming monitor, a flat FHD IPS (1920 x 1920) display for gamers and individuals working from home. Normally available for just under $300, combining the sales price of $258 together with eBay's coupon means you can now pick one up for $219, as long as stock lasts.
For a limited time, you can enjoy a further 15% off products in the Labor Day sale by applying the code LABORDAYSAVE at checkout. Other deals to note include:
- Xbox Series S gaming console, 512GB SSD storage ($279, original price $352, apply 15% discount: $237)
- Sony noise-canceling wireless earbuds ($129, original price $129, apply 15% discount: $109)
- HP EliteBook x360 (Intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) (refurb) ($369, original price $1299, apply 15% discount: $313)
- Apple iPhone X 64GB unlocked (refurb) ($224, original price $1000, apply 15% discount: $190)
- iRobot Roomba i7+ self-emptying vacuum cleaning robot (refurb) ($470, original price $849, apply 15% discount: $399)
Keep in mind that the LABORDAYSAVE coupon does have limits. You can only use the coupon until September 5 (11:59 PM PT), and you must spend at least $25. In addition, customers can use the coupon twice, and discounts are capped at $500.
