How BenchMarket calculates prices
What the site does with a listing before showing it, and what it cannot guarantee.
Listings come from eBay
BenchMarket reads public eBay listings in 11 European countries through eBay's official API, and refreshes them several times a day. It sells nothing: every offer links to the original listing, and the sale is between you and the seller. Other marketplaces will only be added through a partnership with them.
Every title is matched to a model
Sellers write titles however they like. BenchMarket finds the model and the variant, and keeps the original title visible. Laptops, complete PCs, broken cards and empty boxes are left out. For RAM, only DDR4 and DDR5 desktop kits are kept: no SO-DIMM, no ECC server memory.
When the variant can't be found, the offer is filed under “Other or unidentified” instead of being guessed.
The best reliable price and the median
The median is the middle price of used offers: half cost less, half cost more. It is the reference for the difference shown on each offer. The best reliable price ignores suspicious offers. Prices in pounds, Swiss francs or zlotys are converted to euros at the European Central Bank's daily rate.
A very low price is not a deal
An offer more than 50 % below the median is marked “Suspicious price” and left out of the best price. Try the rule with the RTX 3090 (median €1,734).
How the site is funded
BenchMarket is free and needs no account. Links to eBay are affiliate links (eBay Partner Network): if you buy after clicking, BenchMarket may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you and with no effect on the ranking, which follows price only. No ads, no donations: the site is entirely free.
What BenchMarket cannot guarantee
A listing may be fake, sold or changed since it was last read. Always check the seller and prefer a protected payment.
