    The majority of sellers either offer free shipping or are not participating in eBay Plus. And I couldn't meet the minimum spending & maximum item count conditions for the eBay Plus exclusive sitewide discount offers. I didn't use eBay Plus once during the 90-day extended trial.

    This code cannot be used in conjunction with any other eBay offer, coupon or voucher. You can only use the redemption code once during the Redemption Period.

    There's a redemption period to use the voucher and cannot be used with any other eBay coupons. Yeah nah.

    Sorry OP, nothing against you.

  • B-Man02 on 23/03/2019 - 10:57

    Handy if you want something over $150 but havent really seen a benefit with plus on my $24? cancelled but still charged year long plus. Would of been lucky to break even

      Assuming there is a discount code running you’re effectively paying $15 or more for plus instead of taking the 10% discount.

          Hardly "a selected few items" then. There's plenty of items that have eBay plus, Big W, Myer, Shaver Shop, EB Games, First Choice and heaps of others all have eBay plus listings.

            @doweyy: Sure, but the issue really is how many ebay plus items are not free postage anyway?

            Running the same search above I got with free postage selected and restricting to Australia there are already 1978217 listings.

            Restricting to plus just restricted the listings to 1005072.

            I’m yet to see anything plus now that wouldn’t be free postage anyway if you’re not a plus member.

          • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2019 - 13:44

            @doweyy: Yes they LITERALLY meant that in all of ebay there are only 2 or 3 plus items.

        • donga100 on 28/03/2019 - 22:43

          And the other 2.2 million items just have jacked up postage to make the item look cheaper.

        • B-Man02 on 02/04/2019 - 22:09

          The catch is when you have a plus membership the postage shows free even if its not when your not a plus member.
          I wasnt logged in on my phone and done a search then done it on the pc to buy and noticed a different one was cheaper.
          Worked out when logged in it shows free postsge on plus but was showing $12 when not logged in.

        Usually only if its faulty. If its just change of mind, you gotta pay. ebay plus lets you return for any reason within 30days.

        If you got something to buy on ebay for $200+, then this is a no-brainer as it makes it effectively free, just be sure to cancel so you dont have to pay out of pocket at renewal time.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2019 - 14:55

          Change of mind/for any reason returns - is that fact? Can't find any conditions which state that. Presume it is up to sellers as to whether they permit such returns? I didn't neg your comment btw, just looking for clarification.

          • BargainKen on 23/03/2019 - 16:15

            @[Deactivated]: On eBay plus items yes. If the item is faulty, seller is billed the return postage (you don't need eBay plus for that) however change of mind eBay foots the bill.

            https://pages2.ebay.com.au/plus/faq

            Returns are free for all eBay Plus orders. Regardless of the reason for the return or whether the seller's return policy normally states that buyers pay for return postage, as as an eBay Plus member, you can return it for free. You'll still need to indicate why you want to return the item (e.g. "Changed my mind"), then you'll get a free postage label with either Australia Post or ParcelPoint.

            If you need to return an order that wasn't an eBay Plus item, the seller's normal return policy applies.

            • MorriJ on 23/03/2019 - 22:21

              @BargainKen: The gotcha is that the seller gets to choose how much to refund you. Irrespective of whether you return it sealed, unopened and unused - seller gets to choose if they refund your full item costs or not.

              Sellers just mark item was opened and usually offer around 80% refund and are encouraged to do so based on the sellers forums on ebay.

              Source: Experience returning unopened, sealed items under change of mind policy and having users return items under eBay plus guarantee. I presumed originally eBay would foot the difference, they don't.

            • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2019 - 22:55

              @BargainKen: Yes returns are free, but there's nothing in the T&Cs that I could find which says you can return an item just on a whim. Did I miss it or are you making an assumption?

      • netsurfer on 23/03/2019 - 13:17
        +1

        Based on the terms and conditions, PayPal return refund has restrictions. Certain items are not covered and if the items are past seller's specified return period, PayPal indicated they won't pay for that return.

        Also, the burden of proof means you will have to use registered post of a posting service with proper tracking (preferably with the destination address stored in the delivery company's system). It does mean forking out more first.

    As an eBay Plus member, I can't recommend paying the membership. Although I did get some free shipping when buying from eBay Plus sellers, that is basically the only benefit. The "exclusive deals" are rubbish. Free return is something we don't expect to use very often; the only time I had to return something I used Paypal free return.

  • Flintz on 23/03/2019 - 12:51

  • OneIdiot on 23/03/2019 - 13:44

    I agree with everyone , eBay plus is rubbish.

    I wanted a Google mini back in August 2018 and eBay was running this offer, so I signed up.

    Basically got Google mini for same if not lower price than market and eBay plus free.

    Have used it at 2 occasions only for returning items for free.

    Apart from that no other use to me.

    Have cancelled the service in august 2018 so won't be renewing it at all.

    At the same time I reckon Amazon prime offers better deals, fast 2 day shipping and video, music services. So better off with that.

    Just waiting for Amazon to increase it's offerings and variety of goods in the coming months.

  • zrmx on 23/03/2019 - 14:45
    +1

    The $49 voucher will actually be worth less than the face value, as eBay does not allow concurrent use of coupon code/vouchers.

    Assuming buyers often buy on eBay due to coupon code sales, at 10% sitewide sales the minimum $150 spend will mean you'll lose on a $15 discount, for 20% selected seller sales that means $30. It is only when you are buying something not eligible of any "special" promo code, the regular 5% off means $7.5 less.

    Effectively and more realistically, the $49 voucher is only of worth $19-$34 most of the time, and only better at $41.50 for items outside the bigger discounts.

  • cheapskate2017 on 23/03/2019 - 14:56

          Yep quite a lot of value out of a small subscription cost, would have been even better if I signed up to the Google Home mini offer and sold it off, but $29 is still great. I wouldn't say it's worth renewing unless they offer something with renewal, but it's still good for one year.

            @doweyy: I have bought a few stuff since they released it last year and could have definitely saved maybe on some postage fees but was not sure what items are included or what and honestly it felt like a lot of the ebay plus deals were inflated.

            Do you think this is true? Or do you reckon the ebay plus deals are also normally competitive or good value.

    Not enough value with eBay plus. I would avoid. I cancelled my membership a few weeks ago. I signed up with their $29 for one year offer. Hardly any sellers offering free postage, not enough extra flybuys points, unrealistic minimum spend requirements for vouchers and special offers. Not worth it. The program needs a complete overhaul.

    • lostn on 23/03/2019 - 22:38

      Any seller offering ebay plus will be charging unreasonable shipping charges to those who don't have ebay plus.

      And these are the sellers who normally do free shipping anyway. You basically aren't gaining anything. It's those who don't buy ebay plus that are losing something, in this case money on shipping.

  • lostn on 23/03/2019 - 22:37

    I wouldn't recommend paying for ebay Plus, but wanted to give a PSA.

    I purchased an ebay plus item (a $7 cable) that wasn't as described or shown in the photos. I submitted a return request as I normally would. I linked them their listing's photos, and a photo of my own to prove that they didn't match and I wanted a refund. I was expecting to wait for the seller to respond and then have to send the item back. To my surprise, because it was a low value item, the refund was immediately credited to me and I got to keep the item. The seller was not given a chance to even consider it or respond. ebay automatically approved the return and refunded me instantly.

    I don't know what is the upper limit in value to the automatic refund. But I was pleasantly surprised by this.

    That's the only positive experience I can share with ebay plus.

    I also wonder if the refund is coming from the seller or if it's coming out of ebay's pocket, since I am keeping the item. Someone lost money, and I wonder who.

    • ntb on 24/03/2019 - 22:13

      Seller is providing the refund.

      If it costs as much to return the item, makes sense to auto-refund it. From their website

      For all other return reasons, the new auto-accept process works like this:

      Process for returns:

      Buyer requests a return.
      - Buyer is immediately issued a return label to ship back an item to you.

        The seller sent the $7 cable to me in a standard envelope with a $1 stamp.

        $1 is still less than $7.

        Anyways, I was happy I didn't have to wait for a response.

          Yeah but return postage has to be tracked. They can't ask you to put a $1 stamp on it and return it. They need to provide a tracked return postage ($1 + Registered post cost) would be the minimum, but to get that to you they would have to send it via a tracked method (or allow you to print it).

          If they were allowed to offer untracked ($1 postage stamp) returns, they would be able to claim you never sent it back and not refund anything. eBay force the return postage to be tracked, $1 postage stamp is not tracked.

          Express post return would be in the field of $6, 500g $7.55 or registered around $5.00 (plus the cost of getting the registered post label + $1 stamp to you).

          Sellers are relying on your honesty with the whole $1 stamp thing. They are relying on you not claiming you havent received the item to begin with (even if you have). Many buyers just hope the seller will send low value items via regular post and claim it wasnt delivered.

          I see around 1 in 15 items claimed as item not delivered when not using tracking.

            @MorriJ: That explains a lot.

            Do ebay's requirements only apply to ebay plus items or all returns?

            Many buyers just hope the seller will send low value items via regular post and claim it wasnt delivered.

            Can they not argue that since you didn't spring for registered/insurance it's not their fault when an item gets lost in the mail? That the responsibility is on you the buyer to pay for insurance? Otherwise chinese sites like banggood or gearbest wouldn't offer you the insurance option. If the seller is responsible for untracked items lost in the mail, it would be pointless to offer insurance.

            I was prepared to send the item back with a $1 stamp out of my own pocket and hope they themselves don't claim they didn't receive the return. I'd only get a $6 refund in the end but it's better than a $7 cable that's worthless. To my surprise I got an instant refund. Pretty sure in the past I was required to send things back when they weren't as advertised. At least in the case of an $11 tablet case that is what happened.

              @lostn: eBay requirements apply to all eBay items. It is the sellers responsibility to demonstrate they sent the item and that it was delivered. If it gets lost in the mail / they cannot provide a tracked method for delivery (suburb to suburb), then eBay steps in and refunds the buyer each and every time. The eBay guarantee is that if it doesnt arrive or doesnt arrive as advertised, you get your money back.

              eBay Guaranteed Money Back

              For an item not as described, the seller has to provide you a tracked method for return postage, which is why low-value items I select to refund automatically. Cheapest I get through Auspost for a same city delivery is $5 ($5.50 with GST). So anything around that figure, unless I think the person is just BSing, wont make them return it.

              PayPal protection (if purchased through eBay or another site) only requires the sender to actually send the item. If you are using PayPal, you as a buyer are not protected against goods lost in transit. If the seller can provide PayPal a tracking showing the item was dispatched to your address, they are not protected.

              eBay guarantee delivery point to point; PayPal guarantee the item was sent, but dont guarantee its not lost in delivery.

              PayPal Guarantee - brief
              PayPal does not cover LOST IN TRANSIT

              PayPal Buyer Protection for items that have not been shipped does not cover items lost in transit. If the seller can provide within the required time frame valid proof of shipment (as described in more detail in the PayPal Seller Protection Policy), or a respective equivalent proving shipment and/or receipt as agreed between PayPal and the seller, PayPal will refuse to grant PayPaBuyer Protection.

              In your $11 tablet case, they need to provide you a return label. Return shipping for items not as described are on the seller. Select a return - item not as described and seller needs to provide postage (ebay that is).

                @MorriJ: What happens in the case of the item is tracked and marked as delivered but the buyer did not receive it? Either it was stolen because it was left unattended or the courier had an aneurism and gave it to the wrong house?

                This happened to me recently with Amazon who always leaves parcels unattended. But lucky it was Amazon who are the seller themselves and don't need to mediate between two parties.

                In your $11 tablet case, they need to provide you a return label. Return shipping for items not as described are on the seller. Select a return - item not as described and seller needs to provide postage (ebay that is).

                That was the same as my $7 cable. Item not as described / photographed. But instant refund. I'm assuming that $7 is below the threshold of an instant refund but $11 is above by a few dollars. Although it would have had to go back to China.

                  @lostn: Item tracked and marked as delivered is enough to satisfy both eBay and Paypal seller protection. eBay and PayPal may reimburse buyer and not charge the seller the costs if its below a certain threshold.

                  Seller has protection so no obligation to provide a refund in either case. They can rely on seller protection.

                  Some sellers are dodgy and send a parcel to a nearby property (simple 500g postage delivery) with a "sample pack". You buy an expensive item off a seller, they send a small parcel to your neighbour and claim it was delivered. eBay or PayPal are out of pocket in that instance if they refund you.

                  It's up to the seller to set an auto-refund amount. Page has if item is not as described and valued below (input $ amount) issue an auto refund. When you do a normal return / item not as described, the seller can choose to refund you immediately if its going to cost htem too much to get it back.

    *vouchers will not be honoured

  • BargainTeebone on 27/03/2019 - 11:43

    Yeah doubtful this would be worth it to anyone really. I accidentally followed through on my 90 day eBay Plus trial yesterday (bought several items on eBay over the period, did not find it useful once), anyone like my odds of having it canceled & refunded?

  • luvthebargains on 27/03/2019 - 23:45

    In my experience eBay plus has been of good value. I signed up Aug 2018 and got the Google home mini, and since then have made use of the plus in many purchases. In particular I've returned 2 items due to not as advertised (refurbished wearable listed as brand new) at no cost, tracked postage, and transaction refunded promptly. Has been pretty good for me so far.

  • coxymla on 28/03/2019 - 17:26

    Nothing on the signup page indicates that there is a $150 minimum spend requirement on the voucher. Pretty shonky.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 28/03/2019 - 17:44

    Anyone got the voucher yet

  • Nivlac on 29/03/2019 - 02:29

    Regretted signing up for my last eBay plus. What a waste of time and effort that was.
    Nothing against you OP, neg is for scummy ebay.

  • jspan on 30/03/2019 - 14:03

    Is it possible to sign up for $49 voucher, use it, then cancel the membership to get the $49 refund?
