Black Friday is just around the corner, but that's not stopping online retailers from announcing the deals they have in store for this year a bit earlier than usual.
Amazon announced that it will offer the new 8 GB Kindle Fire tablet for just $34.99 that comes with $10 worth of apps and games, the Fire TV Stick for just $25 and pre-Black Friday deals.
Best Buy has also released its Black Friday ad, revealing that game consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One will be available for $50 less than their retail price, along with bundles and savings on games.
Now, eBay is joining in on the action, announcing deals on Wednesday that will roll out on Thanksgiving day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
"Consumers are driving an extended holiday shopping calendar, and demanding earlier access to bigger deals, brands and selection," Hal Lawton, senior VP of eBay North America, said in a press release. "Understanding these shifts allows eBay to celebrate the traditional shopping milestones with our customers, and to also establish new ones."
eBay will launch new deals every hour, starting on Turkey Day and ending on Cyber Monday, making sure customers continue to check back to get discounts on all the hot items offered, such as iPads, GoPros and Samsung TVs.

eBay also announced that it will let customers crowdsource the deals they want most as part of its "Wish Bigger Wishbone" campaign, which starts on Thanksgiving day (Thursday, Nov. 26) from 4 to 10 p.m. EST. Shoppers will be able to check out the Wish Bigger Wishbone page to vote for the deals they want to see in categories that include tech, toys and fashion.
eBay and TNS conducted a study that found that people are starting their holiday shopping in November, which is earlier than previous years. The study also found that millennials reported to intend to shop using their mobile devices the most during the holiday season.
