Just found this deal on ebay US. I've tried purchasing something and can testify that it works. You will need a US ebay account for this to work.

I've tried this on gift cards and it does not work. Can only be used once per account.

You need to find something that is over US$5. I found a usb c cable from an Australian seller for US$5.01 (A$6.94). I added it to the cart, applied the coupon code and paid US$0.01 for the cable.

The same cable is selling for $4.49 through ebay Australia.

Another good deal is the Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm Metal Sign Pen - GOLDEN for $0.06. This is selling for $6.99 through ebay Oz (thanks doweyy).

Oh, for the 1c cost, I didn't bother about cashback. But if you're really keen, there is 1% cashback through Cashrewards.

Instructions (thanks Blue Cat)

Open Private Browsing Window
Go to ebay.com (not .com.au)
Register using fake United States address
If asked for phone number, press "Remind Later"
Add pen to cart
Press checkout
Now you will be forced to add a phone number, just change your number format from US to AU
Confirm with AU number
Apply coupon
???
PROFIT!

    How does one filter by Australian sellers on the ebay US website?

    Is there a way to see items whose locations are in Australia?

    Also can't seem to see the other items listed by the seller of the Xiaomi pen (gearbite), think there are some bargains to be had there.

    • dm01 on 29/09/2018 - 16:00

      Your best bet is to grab the URL of the seller's store on the Australian site and remove the .au from it.

          I'll never need to login to these addresses so as I said, I just type in random numbers/letters, same with the passwords.

          There's no point using legit ones lol

          • tryagain on 30/09/2018 - 08:52

            @Mike444: I guess with legit ones you would know if your order/account went through of was cancelled.

    • altomic on 01/10/2018 - 15:42

      I used a hotmail account. but did the "[email protected]"

      adding the "+" and any number still send an email to "[email protected]"

      so I can still use the same email address to receive emails.

      I suggest using this method as I just received a free US$5 voucher from ebay US. if I had used a random email then wouldn't have gotten the email.

    Interesting.

    • doweyy on 29/09/2018 - 18:54

      Did you use PayPal as the payment method? Generally the PayPal side of the transaction raises the flags, instead of eBay, I have made 3 transactions using the Gmail hack and haven't had an issue at all using only 1 cards.

      • tanksinatra on 29/09/2018 - 18:55

        yep. and payments went through.

        • doweyy on 29/09/2018 - 18:55

          Yeah that would have been the issue then, PayPal would have flagged it as suspicious under their fraud prevention techniques as you are making small payments on different accounts in a short amount of time..

          • tanksinatra on 29/09/2018 - 18:58

            @doweyy: Ah ok. So don't pay with paypal. got it!

          • Mike444 on 29/09/2018 - 19:04

            @doweyy: I'm curious though, if the payments go through and the ebay account is suspended, will it be refunded or will the item continue to be shipped? Yet you wont be able to make any other purchases on said account (wont matter since it's a burn account)

            • tanksinatra on 29/09/2018 - 19:10

              @Mike444: I'm curious too. Haven't had any refunds thus far.

            • doweyy on 29/09/2018 - 19:10

              @Mike444: Really not too sure on that one, I'd imagine the money would get refunded and the order cancelled, ive had accounts cancelled before yet still got the gift cards I ordered, it's weird

      • LoCure on 29/09/2018 - 19:06

        Do u mind explain the gmail hack??

        • doweyy on 29/09/2018 - 19:09
          +2

          Just by putting +1, +2 etc after the prefix of your email:

          EG: [email protected], [email protected] etc… would send any email to the originating email ([email protected]) if that makes sense?

          It's great for these sort of things, because Gmail doesn't allow you to make an email like +1, the email reroutes and it's considered to be different for the company youre signing up with :)

          • LoCure on 29/09/2018 - 19:13

            @doweyy: But what's this to do with the payment method?

            • LoCure on 29/09/2018 - 19:14

              @LoCure: Do you mean the paypal email address as ***[email protected]??

            • doweyy on 29/09/2018 - 19:14
              -1

              @LoCure: Using that hack increases the chance of getting banned, but its an easier way of keeping track of the orders.

              • LoCure on 29/09/2018 - 19:56

                @doweyy: It takes away the bit to create new email but paypal still likely to ban the transaction right? Anyway workAround ?

                • doweyy on 29/09/2018 - 20:12

                  @LoCure: Yeah if you're using PayPal they might ban depending on the situation, to reduce the risk it's worth using a disposable card or even just a normal debit card to avoid PayPal.

                  • cwy5847 on 29/09/2018 - 21:19

                    @doweyy: I used paypal and single gmail account through ebay account and only few are suspended. using paypal makes it faster :)

        After reviewing your eBay account, recent activity has raised serious security concerns. As a result, we've taken the following action on your account:

        - Item listings have been removed. A list of removed items is available further down in this email.

        You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account. Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

    Still have to pay GST for low value imports right. so minimum 50 cents.

    • doweyy on 30/09/2018 - 00:11

      Only if buying from a seller not situated in aus.

      • Inflow on 30/09/2018 - 00:17

        Yep that makes sense, Thanks.

    • Blue Cat on 30/09/2018 - 00:50

      Also, the GST does not count towards minimum 5$ USD spend.
      So if you buy something for $4.55 + $0.46 GST = $5.01 but it will say that coupon can't be applied until you reach minimum spend sum.
      You will have to spend $5.01 on item + GST of $0.50, so the cheapest thing you can get from overseas is at least minimum $0.50 USD spend.

        Just choose Oz from the drop down box and then use your own number. Also don't forget to change the address to your Oz address after sign up if you are having the item/s posted out to you.

      Looks like all your accounts got shut down by eBay - I've never seen so many "Not a registered user" notices in one place before!
