Can anyone explain why the same companies eBay shop (which you'd think had extra costs) has such widely different prices compared to their own proper website?

They seem to be different batteries - one is S4 008 the other S4 007?

 

[T.D.K]

No idea but that's a MASSIVE price difference!

 

[Puntoboy]

Same with i4Detailing. Even with the DW discount, some of their stuff is cheaper on eBay!

They're different batteries.

If the ECP link is the one you need then this is the correct one on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-S4-...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51b27c9db8

Don't forget no one buys nothing on ECP without a discount code do they - 20% off, making it a tenner more.

But then who uses ECP when CP4L (their sister company) is cheaper - http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l...be64eacbb1daba9d80ac885a4ce0a5a11dd92e&000020 Don't forget your £10 off making it £67 so 50p cheaper than ebay

Definitely a strange way of doing it!!

How do I get £10 off?

 

[Pezza4u]

If you read the spec you would see the physical size and amp is different

 

[Pezza4u]

How do I get £10 off?

There is a big banner on the homepage saying £10 off a £75 spend - CP10LESS is the code.

Oh yeah! :lol:

Only went straight to the batt page rather than homepage!

Still, eBay shop is cheaper though with the same batt isn't it? Once you compare the proper 2? (exc special codes)

 

[Pezza4u]

Yes I linked to the battery you linked to on ECP.

It's 50p more expensive on ebay if you use the code on carparts4less so doesn't really matter where you get it from.

I guess they price things like that for people who walk in off the street and don't order online or use the codes.

I think we went for the Bosch S5 096 77Ah 780CCA for our coupe.

Remember to save the vent plug which comes attached to the positive terminal cover on these Bosch batteries! You need to insert this on the opposite side of the battery to the vent tube attached to the vehicle.

You may find that their ebay shop is using the same prices as their sister company www.carparts4less.co.uk usually alot cheaper than Euro's but very often parts delivered by them have the Eurocarparts stickers etc on them.
