Thanks OP for this! Actually have a non working Dot 2nd gen that I was just about to throw into the bin. Some Amazon credit is better than nothing.

I'm not disagreeing with checking eBay, but the comment that they take 'a very small cut'... it's 12.8% of total sale value (including P&P) + 30p... So if you e.g. charge £4 P&P you still pay 51p of fee on that amount too. As per your example, I sold something for £75 + £3.99 P&P last week and fees were £10.41 on that, which is an awfully big cut in my opinion. People don't necessarily think about that. (edited)

If you can use it when they have a sale, you can practically get a device nearly for free. I read various comments suggesting this can be used only on full price devices and if that's the case, quite often it will cost you the same buying when they have a sale, without using this trade in/discount option, so no hassle.
I traded in my old echo and on Friday purchased a new Echo (4th Gen) with the free hue bulb at the black Friday price...so got both for £16.74 after the £25 trade in voucher and 25% off. So yes to using on promo prices and with bundle deals. (edited)
Been around for years but I’m guessing some people didn’t know.

Old gen Amazon products go for good money on eBay. Always check sold prices on eEbay for your exact model/gen.
I sold the first ever Echo Show that I forgot I had a few months back for £75. (edited)sheffield78830/11/2021 12:34

Amazon gives you 25% off as well. In order to get the same amount (money for old device + 25% off) for a new device, I think you need to sell an Echo 2 on ebay for about £40-50. I think that will be very difficult.

Thanks for that, funnily enough I had an email today prompting me to send it, which led to me checking tracking and it was delivered monday!
Its very strange that some get the discount immediately, and others have to wait - for that reason I tried starting a trade in - it didn't give me it instantly, so I cancelled the return, it seems pointless, when around now, by the time they receive and process the item, there probably wont be a deal on so will be gettting 25% off but at a higher price
And then what happens if they decide to reject your item, eg if they say its not working when you've marked that it does.....then they'd likely recharge you the 25%.
Also a PITA as seems to only want to let use UPS dropoff points, instead of the usual options, eg hermes, postoffices etc that use for returns, so the nearest for me several miles away instead of 0.5 (edited)- Good deal.

Do you have a deadline to use the credit and 25% off? Do they both come at the same time, the money you get for your device and the 25% off, thanks.
I'm thinking to send mine, but I want to use the credit and the discount when they have a sale. I'm concerned if these needs to be used within let's say 30 days and they don't have a sale, it may cost the same as buying when they have a sale, without using these discounts. Basically wasting your time. Thanks!colinfang30/11/2021 11:34

With ebay fees and postage, I'm not sure you'll get more than £25 on ebay for let's say a used Echo 2. Amazon gives you 25% off as well. In order to get the same amount (money for old device + 25% off) for a new device, I think you need to sell an Echo 2 on ebay for about £40-50. I think that will be very difficult.

Same echo show 8 2nd generation was £35. 25% off BF price and £25 credit from old echo device.
I have a 2nd gen dot still In mint condition and works perfectly. When I enter the details it says "adjusted value is £2"
Why is it saying £5 and then dropping to £2?

Am I missing something? The T&C's state " You will be eligible for an Amazon.co.uk gift card and the discount towards a new qualifying device only if your trade-in item is accepted." and "Once your qualifying device trade-in is accepted, you can place a new qualifying device in your basket and the discount will be automatically applied at checkout."
I've just applied for a trade-in, proceeded to purchase a Echo Show 8 and there was no discount at checkout.

no Echo Show 10 or 15 in this offer, which I really want to upgrade..

A "small cut" being circa 10% ebay fees and 3% for PayPal.
Most people compare the cost of items including the P&P. Add P&P, get a lower final bid. And eBay statistics show that people are more likely to bid on items with "free" P&P (edited)
Can I get firestick instead for trade in?- I just tried to do this and it applied the £5 to my gift card balance straight away but it isn't giving me the 25% off when I go to pay. Do you only get the 25% off when you have returned your old one or should that also be instant?

True. I always add postage, and for a speaker £5 postage should will be fine. I did sold an Echo Dot 3 brand new on ebay for £35 when Amazon was selling them for £25, so some people don't even know the prices, will buy. But I did kept an eye on old Echo speakers on ebay as I was debating if I should sell it there, or trade in with Amazon. Most used Echo 2 were selling at £20-25 with postage included. If I sell one let's say for £25+ £5 postage, I will end up with £24 in my pocket. Amazon will give me £25 for my Echo + 25% off a new device. Which means about £40 in total, depending what I want to buy. Nobody will give me £40+£5 postage on a used Echo 2, when they can get it at almost the same price new, or they can get a newer model speaker during a sale for this price. (edited)
Do you have to have owned and had it registered to your Amazon account for a certain amount of time does anyone know, as I regularly see old echo dots advertised on fb marketplace, gumtree etc, sometimes for as low as £5. Could I buy one of those then send it in for the trade in value plus 25% discount? (edited)webbo12330/11/2021 14:20

My 25% off and gift card was instant. It must be on a qualifying product and won't show on echo with light bulb or echo with plug for example as cant be combined with another offer. I purchased my new device and received it before I even sent my old trade in one back.
I am on prime and have used the trade in before not sure ig any of those two things make a difference. (edited)
