  • Targeted, mine requires a $500 sell before getting voucher on only one of my accounts.

  • wish it included iPads:(

    edit: seems like the T&Cs includes more categories

  • $20 voucher will barely cover your selling fees.

    • Selling fees is 9%?

      • 13% with paypal fees and shipping fees

      • 9.9% so just enough. But paypal takes another 2.6%.

        • +3

          +10% GST on eBay fees, so all up 13.75%.

        • 11% now with gst.

        • @Scab: also add on the always lower currency conversion 'fee' if buyer is international

    • +6

      When you include eBay fees, GST on ebay fees, fees on shipping, gst on fees on shipping, and Paypal fees, you'd still be out of pocket.

      We are in desperate need of competition in the Australian market. Roll on Amazon.com.au

      $20 voucher will barely cover your selling fees.

      Selling fees should be incorporated into the price and are ultimately paid by the buyer.

      And you have to pay selling fees anyway, so this is an extra $20 you wouldn't get.

        Yes, you're not wrong.

        However it's still relevant for people who aren't experienced selling on eBay, who may suddenly think taking advantage of this offer is going to land them some cash (basically the people this is targeted to).

    • Hey they could give you nothing, it's better than nothing.

  • so basically sell anything on ebay within promotion period (exclude mentioned categories from t&c) is eligible for voucher right?

    • +1

      That's the way I read it

  • List $500 on the target ebay account.

    use "PINCH" on the dummy buyer account so you only pay $450 but the targeted ebay account receives $500.

    get the $50 voucher.

    Total outgoing: $450 + $70 (14% fee on $500)

    Total income: $500 + $50 voucher

    profit = $30

    • followed by banned for life on eBay

    • @dabell

      Probably worth educating yourself of this law (or the equivalent act in your state) before you do this.

      http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/ca195882/s…

      Not many would expose themselves to a criminal record for $30 profit.

    • Or you can just get a job

      • yep because having and job and doing this is mutually exclusive.

        • Correct.

    • eBay do have algorithms to detect this kind of thing, you would need a dynamic or different IP and a different PayPal account.

      Hardly worth it for $30.

      • hardly worth it for $30????

        look at these people scrambling for a $15 pizza: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/323062?page=5#comment

        • +1

          That doesn't involve risking your account.

          BTW, I'm picking up my free pizza at 6pm, it's a Grand Italian with an Edge crust.

          Total cost: 0.00, total risk: 0.00, total flavour 8.00.

        • @Scab: haha nice. I got 4 codes yesterday too. It's good to not worry about dinner for 4 nights =)

          Not much risk if u ask a friend to help out =p

      • How do you know….did you try?

  • +1

    After hearing all the sellers who have been scammed by lying buyers who get their moneys refunded, I can't be bothered even trying to sell on eBay

    • I've never been scammed, I don't sell to overseas as the rules differ from country to country, I try not to sell second-hand computer stuff as that's asking for trouble and I ship anything over $50 with tracking.

      My PayPal account is also funded by my debit card so I have the option of chargeback.

      Haven't had an issue yet and if I did I would make PayPal/eBay wear it.

      • The scam is not people claiming they haven't received your items. It's when they open item not described and then PayPal/eBay automatically side with them and ask them to ship the items back to you.

        When you get the return package it's a brick. You lose.

        P.s. the buyer can do this within 180 days of purchase.

        • PayPal do not "automatically side with them" and you can dispute what is sent back.

          Worst case scenario is that eBay will wear it, all you have to do is threaten them with a FIO complaint and they will cave in, or do a chargeback.

        • @Scab: then they ban your account.

        • @dabell:

          No they don't, you need to stop reading all the negative stuff and horror stories about PayPal/eBay from people who don't know how to use it.

        • @Scab: I'm speaking from personal experience from selling stuff on eBay. I have over 1000 transactions. Some of them inevitably went sour. Yes I can probably dispute and take it further but in the grand scheme of things it ain't worth the effort unless the item was of high value.

          Basically as the seller u are guilty until proven innocent in PayPal/eBay's eyes and the ownerous is on you to prove it.

          Potential scammers knows this and they pull their stunt on you.

        • @dabell:

          it ain't worth the effort

          What effort, all it takes is a phone call?

          Basically as the seller u are guilty until proven innocent in PayPal/eBay's eyes and the ownerous is on you to prove it.

          No it's not, sure the buyer has the upper hand as eBay wants to attract them and get them to spend, but it's not as bad for the seller as you make out.

          There are ways to protect yourself as I outlined earlier.

          EDIT: BTW, if it's a small amount and not worth the hassle then why would scammers bother when they can go after high value items?
