        Alot of ebay is now sales and BUY IT NOW than auctions.
        i find its auctions for the casual garage seller and a shopfront for the bigger stores.
        which is sad because ebay started off as a garage sale site

      It may appear that way at a casual glance, but I bet eBay makes far more profit in Australia than Amazon

    Well, the min spend is an improvement. Still too high for me - I don't have a cart of stuff waiting to buy. I suspect most users don't (especially with amazon + cashrewards + prime)

    • Brokenow on 12/02/2019 - 14:39

      Wait for V times day. They usually provide a coupon. I don’t know about this year but due to them being so stingy.

      But Amazon’s product selection is still pretty poor compared to eBay. Most of the time I give up on trying to find items there.

      • LivingOnTheEdge on 12/02/2019 - 15:01

        Still early days for Amazon in Australia. Just a matter of time and Amazon is gonna rock with it's product catalog.

          My biggest hope is that Amazon will work out a way to reintroduce their overseas arsenal of products back to being available to Australia - not just limited to things sold by Amazon.

      • pinkybrain on 13/02/2019 - 19:17

        yeap plus amazon prices in general is more higher than ebay
        except for the big bargains they do on those big sale days.

  • Name on 12/02/2019 - 14:31

    The biggest issue i have with these "deals" is they aren't an incentive to buy anything. At $70 you're only saving $3.50, i'm not going out of my way to try and find something to buy that is worth $70 in order to save $3.50. If i was already going to purchase something, i'd search for a code and apply it, but otherwise 5% with a max discount of $50 (so you'd need to spend $1,000 to get that), just isn't worth it. At 20%, it becomes worth going out of your way to buy something if it has some value to it.

    I'd be surprised if ebay sees much of an increase in sales with this kind of discounting.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2019 - 14:56
      +2

      Much like last year’s 5% off coupons, this is just a nice little bonus when you’re buying something already. It’s harldy going to make anyone make a purchase they weren’t intending to.

      • pinkybrain on 13/02/2019 - 19:20

        they might it the discount was higher and the min spend was lower..

        when ppl see an opportunity of a big discount they might buy more stuff just to get the discount
        rather than actually needing/wanting the item

        With this, the $3.50 saving it is not worth the effort
        and ppl will hold out for the 10 to 15% off sale that may occur later on.

    I think the coupon expires 31/03/19 from the ebay when you looking at item more than $70:

    Enter code at checkout to redeem. Hurry, your coupon expires 31/03/19. Terms and conditions apply.

  • TEER3X on 12/02/2019 - 21:03

    It seems eBay is offering more coupons far more frequently than usual, is it because of Amazon?

    Here in the US we haven't had a coupon on eBay since December last year, Amazon pretty much rules the roost. They make money a chunk of money from storage fees they charge 3rd party sellers and have multiple warehouses in many cities.

    • pinkybrain on 13/02/2019 - 19:21

      no idea..

      they have been doing this every day/week for a while now
      but this year, the min spend and the discount is worst than last year.

  • GTG on 12/02/2019 - 21:44

    Nice to see that the Minimum Spend dropped! I guess things didn't go well for Ebay in the last few discount promos….

    • pinkybrain on 13/02/2019 - 19:23

      still too high

      previously it was $50 and $30..

      it is get worse and not worth the effort to find crap to buy that adds up to $70
      just to get $3.50 back

    eBay discounts are now like Melbourne Parking signs in the CBD.

  • Leeroy Jenkins on 13/02/2019 - 09:33

    If you consider generally how much more expensive items on eBay are, now I wouldn't order stuff even if they had 10% discount. That said, I'd totally go on eBay and buy stuff if i needed electronics parts (like transistors) from China, their prices just can't be beat. Not sure if there's any other categories like this.

  • affable on 13/02/2019 - 11:10

    I noticed that now since GST on overseas purchases on Ebay, my old method of using the 28 degrees card to get 28 degrees exchange rate no longer works - both paypal and direct CC resulted in the shitty ebay exchange rate. Anyone know a workaround?

    • [Deactivated] on 14/02/2019 - 05:08

      Bankwest CC has similar fx to 28 degrees.

      If you have problems with 28 degrees CC failing transactions, they may have blocked your card, they didn't let me know when they did mine. So call them and ask the cards status.

      • affable on 14/02/2019 - 08:30

        My 28degrees card was accepted, its just that Ebay sent the transaction to 28degrees in AUD not in Pounds, despite displaying it in pounds (This has worked in past years using an Australian Ebay account as the transaction was posted to 28degrees in pounds or USD). Ebay also estimated the AUD value to $52 but it was $55 when you actually "paid". Borders on illegal if you ask me.

          They've been trying every sneaky trick for years to trap their customers into using their lousy exchange rate.

          Looks like they've escalated to sporatic cheating. Only once they got me by just processing the payment in $Aud without presenting the option.

          I just accept it's part of the cost and move along. Lifes too short.

            @[Deactivated]: one of their discount codes wasn't working for me, and the customer service rep offered to send me a voucher equivalent to the discount i would have received. only my transaction was in GBP and the amount in AUD offered was much less. i told them i never use ebay's exchange rate and the rep upped it by several dollars so now the discount was even more.

            they're plainly aware they're ripping us off.

        • tdw on 14/02/2019 - 18:22

          in paypal, i go to currency options for each of my cards and make sure it uses the card provider's exchange rate and not paypal/ebay's.

          and then at checkout, i double check that it's still using the card provider's rate

          • [Deactivated] on 15/02/2019 - 16:34
