Question 1

What is Rippafy?

Accepted Answer

Rippafy is a deal finder for eBay Australia. You search for a bit of tech — a laptop, a phone, a graphics card — and Rippafy pulls the live listings, works out a fair price from what the thing actually sells for, and scores each listing so you can see at a glance whether it's a bargain or a dud.

Question 2

How does the scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Every listing gets a score out of 100 based on its price against the going rate, the condition, the seller, and the postage. A score of 70 or more is a RIPPA — a genuine bargain. 40 to 69 is YEAH ALRIGHT — fine, but nothing special. Under 40 is COOKED — overpriced or dodgy. The scoring is done by an AI model reading each listing, not a flat percentage-off rule.

Question 3

How do I know if an eBay price is good?

Accepted Answer

That's the whole point of Rippafy. For each listing it works out what the item actually sells for on eBay Australia — recent sold prices, not wishful asking prices — and scores the listing against that. A RIPPA is priced under the going rate, a COOKED one is over it. You get the verdict without trawling sold listings yourself.

Question 4

Can I use Rippafy for second-hand gear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rippafy works for new and used tech alike — second-hand laptops, used phones, graphics cards, consoles and cameras. The score factors in the listed condition, so a used item priced like new gets marked down, and a genuinely cheap unit in good nick scores well.

Question 5

Does Rippafy show Australian sellers first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Australian listings are shown first under Australian Sellers, with overseas listings that post here grouped separately under Ships to You. You see local stock and local postage before anything that has to come from overseas.

Question 6

Is Rippafy free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier gives you 50 searches a day. If you check prices a lot, Plus is $2.99 a month for 150 searches a day and Pro is $9.99 a month for 500. Same scoring on every tier — you're only paying for more searches.

Question 7

Is Rippafy part of eBay?

Accepted Answer

No. Rippafy is independent and not affiliated with eBay. It searches eBay's public listings and links you straight to them to buy. Some of those links are eBay Partner Network affiliate links, which is how Rippafy keeps the lights on at no extra cost to you.
