        Unhelpful comment is unhelpful.

        If we all negged it, ebay might actually listen to the bad press. I believe a couple hundred negs continuously with every ebay post would have an effect.

          That is not what the architecture of the voting system is designed for.

          By negging, you are in essence saying that the deal is better off not being posted at all, which is ludicrous, given the multiple examples of people in the comments having saved money using this deal.

            @Tafe:

            Users that still have the 15% discount code to use would find this deal "not the cheapest available" which is inline of a neg vote.

            multiple examples of people

            Two is not "multiple examples"

            Multiple examples of people are however expressing issues with the retailer

              @MaXcon: Sorry, so to clarify - for the people that don't have access to a 15% off code (the majority of people) is this deal is not worth posting?

              If you've read through the voting guidelines and come to the conclusion that negative votes should apply to a deal offering SOME discount, when the likely alternative is ZERO discount then you cannot be helped.

    Was going to use this code to buy iPhone XS from 3brothers, realised it was $50 max off and went looking for a better option. Officeworks ended up price matching 3brothermobiles.com.au and I saved $203.25 off normal iPhone price instead of $134. They did say it was a once off though because apparently 3 brothers has 2 prices listed (both prices are under $1600 anyway.)

    Saw this deal and thought oh goody 10% off but then I saw the $150 min spend. Have now cancelled my ebay plus membership, which will last until August (signed up with $29 annual fee last year). They need to seriously pick up their game. Amazon needs to capitalise on this!

    It's funny to read, that people complain about the minimum spend is too high … but the max discount is too low. So if you're going to spend over $500, who cares what the min spend is. But it seems it's cool to complain about getting free stuff.

    I've long since cancelled my eBay plus. Shop around, that always where the bargain is at.

    These deals are getting worse and worse. Higher minimum spend, lower maximum discount, combined with the fact that countless sellers/retailers are selling their stock on eBay at almost permanently inflated prices. I'm really starting to go off eBay, especially now that Amazon AU has landed.
    One of the most irritating 'features' eBay has introduced in recent times is the ability for sellers to combine multiple products into a single post, which makes for some EXTREMELY misleading prices in the search results - and don't these sellers know it/take advantage of it!

    Lol, its funny how people are complaining about min spend…. and max discount.
    Reminds me of those spoilt 25 year olds who live with their parents, and complain about their parents not giving enough allowance.

    IMO being given a discount is better than nothing. I dare you to buy a $150+ item and not use it because you think it isn't enough, I bet that 100% of you will use the discount code anyways, nobody here has the integrity to live by their words and to boycott using the coupon.

    Its a bargain site here, you should judge the bargain by these 2 questions:
    1. Is this currently the cheapest price?
    2. Do i need it right now, or can I wait for another cheaper price?

    • cloudy on 29/01/2019 - 20:53

      Thanks for being one of the few logical people here.

      I see people post bottles of coke here from amazon that simply price matches supermarket sales (that occur pretty much monthly) all in the name of free shipping (assuming you pay for membership, what a ironic sentence really).
      But fail to mention if must bulk buy in packs of 6. Forgoting the golden rule mum teaches when they were 5 years old that if you’re forced to bulk buy you deserve a discount.

      • thaiiy on 01/02/2019 - 02:08

        Hypothetically, I saved $infinity because I bought $zero in goods.

        Realistically, I saved hundreds in recent weeks with PIXIES, AUSPLUSJAN15, PAPP10 because I would have bought those goods anyway, and Ebay kept sending vouchers just when I needed them. Often, I'd have stuff won on auction waiting an extra day just in case a voucher comes, and it did. Again.

        Which is very rare cos this is January, first month of the quarter, and if you see the history eBay vouchers (there's a link somewhere here) hardly ever any in January after December sales. Vouchers come out end of quarters eg June, September, December

        And now January, but only in Australia. EBay must be feeling the crunch.

      Don't neg it just because you can't use it. Someone else buying some electronics like a smartphone will be able to get their $50.

      Though I definitely agree that the conditions going up and maximum cashback going down makes these deals increasingly less and less attractive as time passes. Still not neg worthy if others can make use of it.

      The sweet spot is obviously if you spend $500. I just bought a phone for $529 so I'm happy.

    Trying to buy multiple car parts from one seller totaling $200 (less than 10 items). I get this error: This code can't be applied to some of your items. Previously I had multiple items I wanted to buy from different sellers in the cart (less than 10) totaling $500 but that didn't work either because I wasn't spending enough (one seller was more than $150 required but no idea how it works out the coupon for a larger cart).

    This is a pretty average deal designed for big ticket items only like buying a new TV etc. Prices on ebay have been increasing like crazy. Checked my history with the same seller and August last year my oil filter was $19.95 and the same item is now $24.95

    The 10% off deal like this seem to be bit of a diversion (poorly implemented with transaction limits) to hide the fact that they're getting more expensive.

  • resisting the urge on 30/01/2019 - 14:21
    +2

    The 10 item rule is a new condition to me, IIRC, before they had: Max transactions, Min spend, Max discount and limitations on categories and vendors, but never a max no of items in the cart.

    Since this promotion started, if you have >10 items in your cart, checkout will not allow payment or application of a discount code. And it will respond: "Something went wrong. Please try to check out again. Error codes: 70245 70438"

    And it gets worse, this happens to all purchasers, not just those wanting to apply a discount code. And it's been going on (at least) since this deal was announced, if not weeks longer.

    Ouch. This is bad for customers, bad for eBay, but worse for vendors who will wonder why their sales have reduced. All customers with >10 items in their cart cannot pay no matter what they do, and many will give up rather than reach out to eBay support, and if they do, they will unlikely get a resolution.

    It is actually pretty bad that eBay managed to live a promotion and cause a site-wide bug like this, but as I've speculated in the past, they seem to change checkout logic each time they release a new promotion. Worse, have a history of not testing checkout, or at least, testing it properly.

    1. It should not fail to the point that it halts a sale in the first place, certainly not due to there being too many items in the cart. After all, for eBay and its vendors, the more items in a cart, the better
    2. If a failure happens when applying a discount code, it should present the buyer a polite message, like 'you have too many items' to claim a full discount', and then allow the user to remove them from the cart and try again, or deselect the items they don't want to claim a discount on.

    But no, when going live with this promotion, somehow they added logic to the checkout step that looked for the maximum number of items claimable with a discount code before the code was applied, and made all cart payments with >10 items fail.

    Good work eBay, keep up the pressure on Amazon! Maybe this (poor site process, design and testing) is the reason eBay has been hit by Amazon so hard in the the US.

    There are many negs on this post, for various reasons. I appreciate the 10 item limit is in the OP, but wonder if it should be negged due to the checkout being broken by anyone having >10 items being left on their own in a black-hole, unable to proceed to payment*?

    • FYI: eBay have officially acknowledged the bug, but it has been almost 2 days (or longer if it was introduced before the promo went live)

    I assumed all car related things were excluded but certain things like car tools/accessories are not excluded. Bought this jack for example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JIMY-TOOLS-SUPER-LOW-PROFILE-LON…

    You haven't seen price-jacking until you've shopped over at Amazon AU.

    Amazon AU vs eBay for the exact same item. I've come across this sort of thing more times than I can count.

    Neg Vote - Deal is not a deal. It's an insult - especially to paid ebayPlus members like myself.
    Where are the ebayPlus only sales that were promised to be plentiful before I signed up btw? I digress..
    Regardless, this needs neg-voting. As long as users like Tafe and such are whiteknighting ebay peddling these worsening deals, it will only get worse.
    Ebay needs to see their user base is seeing these deals as a NEGATIVE not a POSITIVE.
