Is eBay's new iPad price safe?
They are real listings, so read each one before you buy. On 26/10/2026:

- iPad Air 11-inch, 11-inch 256GB and 13-inch: business sellers with 556, 9,971 and 12,161 ratings, each taking returns for 30 days with you paying the return postage.
None of these prices was far enough under the shops for our rule on cheap new listings to apply: we show a listing marked New more than 30% under the shops only from a seller with 500 or more ratings. eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers a purchase paid through its checkout if the iPad does not arrive or does not match the listing, for 30 days from delivery; it is not a warranty, and a private seller taking no returns will not take back an iPad you simply do not want. How to read an eBay seller goes further.
What to do
- For the cheapest current iPad, buy the iPad (A16): from a shop, A1 Tech Deals at £407.99, with free 30-day returns, and Amazon at £409.97 were the cheapest on 26/10/2026.
