Why didn't I know about official shops on ebay?

[INeedSomeHelp]

I decided I need to smarten up my work clothes a bit but don't have a huge budget. I like some of the plainer Boden stuff but it is expensive for me.
Then I stumbled across their official shop on ebay. How could this have passed me by until now?!
One dress and blouse winging their way to me right now at a fraction of the rrp. I know they're probably last season but that doesn't bother me.
Are there any other of these official shops that I should be looking out for?

I've used the Boden one successfully, ie bought and kept and bought and sent back.

There's also a Joules one if you are interested, run by the same people I think. I've not used that one though.
I've not found any others, so interested if anyone has any recommendations.

Laura Ashley have a furniture one. The pain is that you have to collect the items from their warehouse though.

I am sure hobbs and planet have official shops.

Joules have one too.

Liz Earle also has one i believe

House of Fraser and French connection

Sugarhill Boutique do too - great for New Girl style pretty stuff.

Not S&B, but Tesco Online have one, which is brilliant for cameras, electronics etc.

Oh gosh I have just looked up Sugarhill Boutique and my question is why haven't I ever heard of that before - gorgeous stuff!

Yay, another fan! :)

Office have one with great discounts

Do you just type in the shop name into search on ebay home page?

How do you find them?

Dune have one I got some gorgeous leather ankle boots last year half price.

I never know how to find them either. I tried looking for sugarhill boutique on the page given above and couldn't find it!

Dangerous thread.

Fantastic, thank you (I think!).

Has anyone used the "Make offer" function to great success? How much are they likely to accept?

Sometimes the homepage advertises them especially if they have a sale on.

Ahh sorry guys it looks like the sugarhill boutique is gone now. :( It used to exist though! Looks like they're on Amazon though.

I think annoyingly enough you need to search in google to find the ebay official outlet shops - they don't seem to pop up for me if I look in ebay itself, or maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Aspinal of London have an official shop, for 'second' quality leather goods.

Argos is seller:argos in the search field.

To search a brand try seller: then name of brand. However if they have used an amended name such as a _ instead if a space that might not work.

In saved searches you can also save sellers so you can keep tabs.

Also look at the link I posted up thread with the list of retailers. You can click on the retailer name to get to their eBay page.

Thank you, bouquet. I'll have a look!
