    Thanks OP I wouldn't look for the email if it isn't for this post. Found a $60 offer.

  • OzyBe on 21/09/2018 - 14:10

    When following the offer link for this email, it states the benefits of Ebay Plus.

    One of the benefits listed is "Join eBay Plus and enjoy: Free 30-day trial".

    If that is the case, then those signing up should reasonably expect to get 13 months of Ebay plus, and not 12 months.

  • gamemaster on 21/09/2018 - 14:10

    Why does eBay use this stupid system of offering different discount to different accounts? It pisses off those who don't get the deal but also makes them unlikely to sign up to Plus knowing others have a better deal. Why not have one decent deal for everyone. This only encourages user to open up multiple accounts and alienates some users.

    • OzyBe on 21/09/2018 - 14:39

      Very good point.

  • OzyBe on 21/09/2018 - 14:39

    So, did people get this offer actually emailed to them, or did they have to login to Ebay, and check their messages to find this?

  • Shaolinking on 21/09/2018 - 15:09

    Is the ebay plus really worth getting it? I really don’t see many free delivery items though. What else can I get out from it. Thanks

    • Penpinch on 21/09/2018 - 15:13

      It's not. That's why they are handing it out like nothing.

    • pikapika on 21/09/2018 - 15:16

      I'm wondering the same thing on how much of it being a worthy purchase. I'm kinda tired of seeing all these subscription things popping up on stores that really don't need it.

    • parad0x on 27/09/2018 - 05:30

      It's completely worth it. I've been a member since early days and I have easily saved my $49 in postage fees (or lack there of)

      • systmworks on 27/09/2018 - 05:45

        So many sellers offer free shipping - I doubt Ive spent $20 on shipping in the past year - so I'm not as confident I will get my $49 value back

        • parad0x on 27/09/2018 - 14:36

          I have memory recall issues on peripheral information, so I can't actually recall "the time before eBay Plus", but I did notice 2 items I purchased recently showed 9.99 shipping in a certain view in eBay, then became free shipping when clicked on, so that's at least $20 of my $29 I had to recoup. I also purchased during the Plus only 15% off with around $10 saving, so in 3 recent purchases I can recall I've paid for my annual subscription.

          • endotherm on 27/09/2018 - 18:27

            @parad0x: Can I ask what kind of items you buy (e.g. clothing/shoes)? Are they the type that normally attract a shipping fee, and might need to be returned often (e.g. wrong size/bad stitching etc)? I can see in that case it might be advantageous, as well as earning extra Flybuys points if you do that. However, I can also see the other side of the coin where the type of item you buy is always offered with free shipping and would not benefit from ebay plus. I regularly buy electronics and components and would not benefit at all as none of them are ever offered with ebay plus. If there is a failure/defect, I can return them using the PayPal free return system, which I have never had to do. Since it's been introduced, I have only bought one plus item (a camera light) and it was priced no differently and offered free shipping anyway.

  • OzDevil on 21/09/2018 - 15:26

  • timmy_tam on 21/09/2018 - 15:28

    I got the $50.
    I don't see the value in it. can anyone enlighten me or link me to why I would want to go ebay plus?

    • NigelTufnel on 21/09/2018 - 15:57
      +2

      Well, for one there's at least $1 value in it for you as you're getting a $50 gift card for $49.
      There are some promotions that are only available to eBay plus members. e.g. This one.
      Also some items are cheaper with eBay plus if the shipping is separate to the item cost (as you aren't charged shipping).
      Not worth $49, or even $29, but they're basically paying you $1 to join it, so why not?

      • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2018 - 16:28
        +1

        $1 value only if you are already going to spend $50 on ebay. So many times I've had an ebay voucher I've ended up spending it on junk to get it spent.

        • timmy_tam on 21/09/2018 - 16:52

          whats the old saying?

          "if you only bought it because it was on sale then you haven't saved anything"

        • NigelTufnel on 21/09/2018 - 19:09
          +1

          Well yes, obviously if you don't but from eBay much and you're not planning on spending at least $50 on eBay in the next 3 years then it's not worth it.

    I was emailed the $60 offer, but like everyone else here, the link in the email led me to a landing page for a $20 offer.
    Ebay's customer service rep ended up saying this:
    I have an update from our Marketing Team and they have advised that there was an error in sending the notification about the promotion. There will be new email will be sent between 5-7pm tonight with the correct gift card details etc. For now, they have advised not to subscribed or accept the offer once you haven't receive the new email notification.

    Piss poor of an excuse. Not happy at all.

    • Veebee88 on 21/09/2018 - 18:13

      I went on the chat and emailed. They said to go ahead with it and I’ll still get $60 voucher. They can manually generate it if you don’t get it in a week. As long as you have the email.

      • lizzle on 21/09/2018 - 20:06

        Yep the new email actually came through which directed me to the correct original offer for a $60 eBay fit card :D woo judged harshly on eBay too early, oops

        • Veebee88 on 21/09/2018 - 20:22

          Woow can’t believe it! Haha

  • ChiefAJ on 21/09/2018 - 19:54

    I haven't got an email but if I go to the ebay plus home page (while logged in) it shows me that I am eligible for a $20 gift card: https://www.ebay.com.au/ebayplus/home

    I assume that will work to see what you are offered.

    Oh, and $20 gift card. Pass.

  • justtoreply on 21/09/2018 - 20:45

    Got $50 offer but im already a plus member?!?

    Here I was thinking that selling the Google home mini for $40 to get the cost down to $9 was a good deal…. Doh!

  • corehaza on 21/09/2018 - 20:55

    "Thank you for contacting eBay about the email for $60 voucher.

      That the eBay Web-tech crew are crap, as always. I've never seen such a major website with so many tech issues and terrible UI

      Customer service has always been fast and quite accurate though.

      If they fixed their tech team It'd probably reduce the money they need to spend on customer service teams and increase their profitability. Yeesh.

    how long does it take after signing up to receive gift card?

  • Ziggy28 on 23/09/2018 - 00:00

    Not worth paying for eBay Plus. Been a disappointment so far, regret signing up for it.

  • systmworks on 23/09/2018 - 08:04

    I found the offer in My Messages in eBay. Clearly says $60 gift card in title and body/images of message. But says $20 after I click accept..

    First eBay Chat person was not very helpful. Kept trying to tell me how to sign up, and never addressed my actual question of why the $60 message goes to a $20 gift card page.

    Second eBay Chat person was better:

    I havce confirmed with our promotions team that there has been an error with the gift cards since yesterday.
    Members are receiving the wrong gif card code which causes for the system to route you to a wrong amount. So our member has been receiving a $60 offer email but when they click the link, they will be routed to a wrong amount which has happened to you as well.
    Our Promotions team are already working on this and they will be sending a new link to the members affected by this within 24 to 48 hours.

    Not clear if the new message will have a $20 or $60 offer attached..

  • bwatt72 on 23/09/2018 - 11:18

    I had a get $60 gift card but only shows $20 did anyone complain and get what they where provided?

    • Veebee88 on 23/09/2018 - 14:11

      I complained multiple times about it for the last 3 days. I was told by one person to wait 7 days then they can generate a voucher for me. The rest of the eBay chat team had no idea.

  • levidog on 23/09/2018 - 11:23

    Mine Is even more bizzare.
    Click on my $50 email and takes me to my page and notes You've already accepted the offer "$49 eBay Plus Gift Card Promotion " and states no $ Value at all and i have never accepted the offer , so not sure if i keep going on with it and pay what i will receive or if anything at all!

    • et76 on 24/09/2018 - 15:33

      I have exactly the same issue. Tried to ask via the chat but they couldn't give me an answer. Not going ahead for now as unsure what will happen. I got the $60 offer.

        I did actually sign up before this offer email / period - signed up for the free offer back on 3 Sept - and was sent an offer email directly - asking to accept offer.

            Funny how originally it was meant to be in 7 days, but now they need a 27 day period on top of the 12 days since I signed up.

              @puffinfresh: I contacted them again and pushed the point that their marketing team stuffed up on this promo and it's a poor introduction to eBay Plus. They offered a $50 voucher with a 2 month expiry in place of the gift card. I accepted, knowing that it's not as good a deal, but I'm hoping the gift card still shows up anyway. No doubt I'll spend the voucher within the 2 months anyway.
