      The other deal has a $30 minimum spend requirement, but is limited to selected categories.

      Have added this one to the list of other eBay sales in this post however, thanks.

      • You should add this to the post description OP.

          Yes it's at the bottom

        • @JSQUARED: I meant the clarification as to why this post is different to the other C5AU post.

          @yojabbajabba: Fair enough, I've added something in now.

        • +1

          @yojabbajabba: The titles and descriptions are pretty self explanatory on how they're different imo. Big difference between "5% off Aussie Sellers in eBay in Selected Categories from Aussie Sellers" and "5% off Sitewide at eBay ($50 Minimum Spend)"

          @shapers: I see it clearly now. My bad!

          @yojabbajabba: I was confused by it as well C5AU vs CAU5.

        • @easternculture: You got a badge!!?? I only got a shirt…..

    • Sitewide =/= select stores.
      By the way, I think it's rude to post a link without saying what it is.

      At least 15%

      This is like the boiling frog experiment, next will be 2.5%, 1.25%, and so on. They are hoping we continue to buy at a continuing reducing discount… we must resist.

        I would give you Reddit Gold for this comment, if I could purchase said gold for a 2.5% discount.

      When Amazon enters the Australian market.

      • Do you think we'll have access to the same products as what are currently serviced directly by Amazon US (and under the same conditions)? Would be great if they could offer the same stock to us so we don't have to pay through the roof in terms of shipping expenses.

        • Most likely have access to most of the products Amazon US offers, but as for pricing Australian laws such as predatory pricing will most likely prevent Amazon from bringing US based prices to Australia.

    Meh. Is 3% off next?

  • +30

    I think eBay Australia is testing how low they can go with these discount coupons and still get high traffic and sales. I call shenanigans.

    • +5

      You still upvoted, so clearly it works :P

    • +1

      As a high volume eBay seller, the promotions work. (and as a buyer it works too)

      • Can you actually tell if the buyer used a code?

        • Nope, already have asked this question. Can defiantly tell when we get the invoice for the discounts codes, you could break it down but it would be extremely painful.

  • +2

    eBay is being really generous once again.

  • Nah. Not worth it unless you were going to buy anyway. What's next eBay, 3%?

  • Thanks OP! I needed to buy a new air con yesterday but hesitated (telling myself to wait for a site wide % off coupon). Even thought it's only 5%, it's better than nothing when you need something quick.

    Remember, CashRewards are doing 2.6% cash back! I've been using the Firefox plugin for a while now and every single purchase has been successfully tracked :)

    Wow 5%, eBay really turning into a big arse

  • Ofcourse these coupons only come up after i make a big spend off ebay

    • +1

      Which is why you don't make a big spend off ebay without a coupon.

      • +1

        Yep! Actually I think these coupons are doing more harm than good for some of us. I've stopped buying anything from eBay unless there is a genuine sale. These days I go to amazon as my first stop.

  • Darn..i bought stuff last night..oh well.

    • you should've learned by now…

      • Yes, to never buy anything before checking ozbargain..but still wouldn't of seen this post as it turned up today.

    • If you ask the seller nicely I think they will have no problem cancelling the order.

    5% off with $50 minimum spend
    No deal…

    • +3

      I buy and sell using eBay regularly, so this is a good deal for me since the purchase will be happening regardless of whether there is a coupon or not. An extra 5% on my profit margin is more than welcome :)

    • +3

      Because people buy from eBay all the time, so 5% off is better than nothing. There's very few exclusions, and there's generally no price jacking from sellers that is often associated with the 10 - 20% off deals.

    • +2

      He is one of those who can find a negative between many positives.

      • He and alot of others..happen in the last ebay deal…lots of complaining there as well. I say they didn't have to offer anything so to get something is nice and this type of % is going suit ppl who regularly buy so it's something a little extra. Better this than nothing..yet ppl still get crabby over it.

  • Doesn't seem compatible with CHIC..

    • +1

      eBay coupons don't stack.

  • +1

    hard to upvote this, as it will only encourage eBay to post lower discounts in future. 10% or bust, i say!

    • I concur. While in itself it can't be given a downvote, it's not like you have to buy from eBay every day. You are not buying bread and milk so you have no choice but to buy.

      I wouldn't agree with aja12. People do buy all the time, but most of the time you can wait, or did your fridge died just now. That TV isn't going anywhere.

      In essence this post doesn't deserve so many upvotes. But eBay already knows human psychology.

  • +2

    Thanks, but will wait for a more generous 20% Good Guys eBay sale or something similar.

    Got a few things on my watch list, learnt not to jump the gun these days and just wait.

  • Thanks OP

  • +2

    While I welcome all sorts of real discounts (i.e. not inflated by vendors and then offer massive nominal discounts afterwards), i think this discount is good if you're not shopping with the usual big retailers (i.e. TGG, HN, BL).

  • +1

    Just a quick reminder, if you're willing to risk the possibility of not getting a refund and other general issues with Groupon eBay vouchers, the Groupon $85 for $100 eBay voucher is better value than this code for purchases between $90 and $300. Use with caution, please read other thread for possible issues. I've used it in the past without any issues so far.

    • I was just thinking if they can work together. Thinking about it, 1 is a 'code' to take 5% off, and the other is 'voucher' for payment.

      Anyone tried them both yet?

      • No, groupon gives you a unique code as well which goes into the same box and thus won't stack with this code, nor will it stack with CYBER etc.

    • Do you know if you receive the voucher/code immediately?

      • No, 4-5 days

  • Hey guys,

    I apologise for being off topic but I'm heading overseas in a couple of weeks and I've noticed a lot of people here seem to claim TRS on things they've bought. It's my first time travelling overseas so I've got no idea, but after doing some research I've read that you can bring back up to $900 worth of goods duty free. I've bought a camera that I was thinking of claiming which was $754. Does that mean when coming back I could only bring $146 worth of items from overseas?

    Sorry for the stupid question, complete travel noob!

    • to qualify for the TRS refund, you need to:
      - spend $300 or more (including GST) in a single business;
      - buy the products within 60 days of departing Australia;
      - wear or carry the goods on board as hand luggage (unless they are liquids, gels or aerosols or oversized or bulky goods which must be checked in) and present them along with your tax invoice, passport and international boarding pass to the TRS desk;
      - have paid for the goods yourself (the invoice should show your name on the invoice, so that it can be matched to your boarding pass)
      - show the original tax invoice for the goods.

      now, when you return back to AU, the incoming immigration declaration form says that you should be declaring goods more than AU$ 900 to customs.

      so, if you bought something (e.g. a laptop) worth AU$ 1200 before leaving AU.
      you claimed the TRS (ie. received about AU$ 120 in refund), …and then when you returned back to AU, you will need to declare the laptop to the customs as per the question on the form.

      this is what it means (or what i think it means!)

    • You can bring back any amount of goods thats bought from overseas.you can claim any amount over $300 of TRS back when you leave Australia.but if you bring back the goods that you claimed TRS when you leave Australia,the tax free allowence is $900 per person or a shared amount of $2250 per family inc 2 parents and 1 cild.anything above the limit,you have to pay back the GST you claimed,all of them,not just the amount above the tax free allowence.
      to claim TRS is simple,done it many times,go to their website,fill out all tje info,that will generate a scan code,print that page,bring it along with your passport,invoice with you.
      anything over $1000 need to have your name and address on the invoice.

      • There is always a long line at the TRS kiosk in the airport for those using QR code, I think it's faster to just fill out the form on site and send it together with all the invoices to TRS office. Last time I did it took about 60 days for money to be deposited into your account.

        • wow thats some line.

        • Really?I get my money almost instant every time,well not instant,I mean a few days the most

        • Hi. Can u pls provide the link to the form ?
          Thanks in advance

        • @spk: They hand it out at the TRS kiosk, you won't miss it. There's also a box so you can put your filled application in.

        • @Elijha: I mean "queue" lol

        • @028: Yes if your invoices and items are assessed on site at the kiosk, but you'll risk missing your flight because you'll never know how long the queue will be. I took my flight back home last Jan around 10PM and there was at least 100 people waiting in queue.

  • just got a pair of BeatsX from DWI for $152. Good saving over local.

  • So for purchases less than ~$295 (allowing for cash backs) you are better off buying the groupon voucher.

    This isn't a great "deal".

  • Their tactics are sort of working even though I haven't bought anything - it makes me think the 10% deal (if it's another long lasting one like C10AU was) a decent deal. Maybe not for any impulse buys but probably enough to tip me over in getting a thing or two - I didn't think this until this 5% deal lol.

  • CAU5

    this voucher doesn't seem to work with best offer. has anyone else had any success with best offers?

    • Needs paypal?

  • LOL $2.5 off of every $50.

    • LOL $2.5 off of every $50.

      it's no different from "saving" $0.04 per litre on fuel. people drive 10m - 15m to save $2.

      • This is why I LOL.

  • Cashrewards is crashing while loading eBay?

    • Its crashing for me as well.

  • When does this promo end?

  • -1

    It's pretty BS how you cant use that 5% with the CYBER coupon

  • I didn't mind the other 5% off as it was just an extra discount off of an item I was already buying(plus it was a bid/auction from a private seller) so it was a win for me! With a $50 minimum, this seems harder for me to like! :(

  • Not getting out of bed for that.

  • Some of the comments on this deal are ungrateful, it may not be much but 5% off is 5% off.

  • Can't think of anything to buy with a tiny 5% off.
