      I saw that too in the message, but when I clicked on the link it just brought me to "https://www.ebay.com.au/ebayplus/home" with no explanation.
      Not sure I would spend $50 a month though, maybe I should consider some Coles shopping (and hoping that it goes well, read some mixed comments last time on Coles via ebay) ..

    • SJ50 on 06/11/2019 - 15:57

      I have not received any email, but one of my account is eligible.
      Is this available to all target user or some gets $50GC and other gets $50GC+$5/mnt+5% coles.

        https://pages2.ebay.com.au/plus/5-off-terms-and-conditions

        Only for eBay Plus members who register the membership after 6th November, not for trial members.

        I successfuly used the coupon on eBay US site and hope for extra US$8 bonus from Topcashback.

        • wekimekigugudan on 17/11/2019 - 15:26

          I successfuly used the coupon on eBay US site

          ebay au $5 coupon plus items works on the US site how?

            +1

            @wekimekigugudan: Why not? eBay AU giftcard can be used on eBay US too. Targeted coupon seems OK, but not generic 3% to 20% off discount codes for selected Aussie sellers.

            • wekimekigugudan on 28/11/2019 - 11:42

              @Neoika: Did Topcashback tracked your eBay order for the US$8 cashback?

              • Neoika on 28/11/2019 - 17:32

                @wekimekigugudan: Transaction was tracked the next day, but not USD8. I believe it'll turn up later when the transaction is approved.

                I think eBay Plus monthly coupon can always be used on eBay US as eBay US and eBay AU share the same user ID, not like eBay UK, De. But I guess you won't have any Plus membership benefits.

                • wekimekigugudan on 28/11/2019 - 17:37

                  @Neoika: I don't think my item (video game) will track cos 'gaming items' are excluded from cashback.

      It wouldn't make sense to give it to any previous users. Maybe for those who have used the trial but cancelled after. Either way its targeted for sure.

      • King Steuart on 29/10/2019 - 16:32

        I used the trial and cancelled.

    • uvbunny on 29/10/2019 - 19:37

      Why without coupon? I thought you could still use a coupon code along with ebay gift cards.

      • PukeyLuke on 29/10/2019 - 20:14
        +4

        I've always been able to use promo codes with eBay gift cards.
        I think there are a few exceptions, such as buying other gift cards are "sometimes" not covered by the promo code.
        But in general you can buy anything that you can buy using your Paypal hard earned cash!!

        • justtoreply on 30/10/2019 - 11:27

          Physical gift cards it works. But if it's account credit via a coupon code (which I've had before, and it might be different to a digital gift card) it isn't stackable.

        you can buy 5% off ebay card so $50 gift card is $47.5 which means you pay $1.5 for the ebay+. It is 50c more :)

            @cameldownunder: I'm on chat to ebay now:

            Live chat said this when I asked if I'd get it (after not receiving any confirmation on the final screen):

            I see, that banner was for advertisement. Emails for promotion were sent to random members. So if you haven't received one, I'm afraid you won't be eligible for the $50 gift card promotion, xxxxx.

            I called them out on being misleading and:

            Sorry about that, xxxxx. I will raise this to our Marketing team so it would not appear as misleading to our members.

            I'm currently being transferred to the "Plus experts".. hopefully I can either get a refund or maybe I'm eligible after all.

            EDIT:
            Called them out on the banner:

            The banner is being advertised and this not only you who can see this. At the same time, all promotion that we offer is bound with terms and condition.

            (I told them that the T&C did not explicitly state that you had to receive the email)

            Yes, this may imply this impression but we can't still negate the fact there was an information about an email sent prior to this.

            I'm still arguing with them (basically saying "why did you even advertise it then?") but it doesn't look good for me.

    What's the "Promotion Period"? They make it hard to find out when the offer ends.

          I misunderstand you said you see the gift card link as soon as you signed up

          No, they don't send you the gc immediately
          I didn't receive any targeted offer email, but the T&C says it doesn't matter, I clicked that banner
          Upon signed up, there is an extra confirmation page says they will send you the gc within 5 business days
          Screenshot it if you feel worry

    Hi everyone I thought I would make it easier for everyone as it is confusing. I don't think this is a targeted deal as I didn't receive an email but can see the promo ad for all 3 of my accounts.

    1) log into your eBay account
    2) click on the eBay Plus tab at the top
    3) you will see a banner saying "skip the trial and score a $50 eBay giftcard". Make sure you click on this banner
    4) agree to make the payment immediately
    5) make the payment - I used PayPal
    6) you will be automatically transferred to the last screen which will confirm your eBay gift card will be sent to you in 5 days. Here is a link to the screenshot https://i.imgur.com/76RV033.png

    Good luck hope this helps

    • Dungeon Master on 05/11/2019 - 20:27

      Does this work if you've previously accepted a free trial?

      edit: can confirm it does. Chat said yes, and I signed up and got the "card will be sent" message.

      • epicraiders on 05/11/2019 - 22:29

        Chat said no for me, but signed up anyway based on other comments. Was able to get the gift card message. Lets hope it arrives :)

    • UFO on 05/11/2019 - 23:13

      eyzonme instructions are on point!

      It's NOT a targetted offer.
      I didn't get any offers via email or via in the ebay inbox, but clicking on the Ebay Plus link on the top menu brings you to a page with a green banner across the middle. Clicking on that banner gives you access to this deal.

      Can 100% confirm that even if you've used the free trial in the past (I'm told everywhere that I'm no longer eligible for the trial!), you still get offered the $50 giftcard.

      In effect you get 12 months of Ebay PLus for -$1!!!

      Can't go wrong!!!! This deal should be getting hundreds of plus votes!

        It's targeted. I cannot see the banner and feeBay wants me to pay $49 right away.

        You need to wait for unlucky people like me to confirm whether it is targeted or not. It's targeted because I am feeBay VUP (very unimportant person).

    Can someone actually post the ebay banner url because I have logged on to my account and don't see the offer or the banner ad as claimed. I previously did a trial a few months back.

    If I click on ebay Plus it just will ask me to pay the full amount. So I believe the offer will only activate with the correct url referral link

    • xecutor on 12/11/2019 - 13:31

      After reading the below comments and also speaking with Ebay Customer Support (via phone) this is the full facts:

      1) YOU DONT NEED AN EMAIL from EBAY to confirm validity/eligibility of the $50 Ebay Gift Card offer

      2) If you previously were an eBay Plus member (includes if you had paid or had used a free trial only) you are eligible provided you can see the banner advertisement indicating this deal.

      1. If you are an Eligible User and you receive an email inviting you to take up the Offer or otherwise see it on www.ebay.com.au, you may sign up to the Offer by: a) Clicking “Take up Offer Here” on the promotional banner on www.ebay.com.au/plus OR clicking “Take up Offer” on the promotional banner on the eBay app home page; and b) Signing up for an eBay Plus membership through the sign-up flow.

      3) Make sure you are not blocking cookies, and running any type of ad blocking software as this might be hiding the $50 Ebay Plus Gift Card Promotion banner which you need to click on. Also there is tracking analytics in the URL banner link which is unique to each eBay member which is used by eBay to obviously get information. Just note that if they (eBay) fail to recognise your tracking information you will likely not see the $50 Ebay Gift Card being successfully applied to your account.

      4) You must sign into your eBay account and then go to https://www.ebay.com.au/ebayplus/home (this is where the banner will show)
      5) Image of the Banner
      6) After you pay for the subscription you will get a confirmation of the $50 Gift Card (code) being sent to your email and also visible in eBay Messages within the next few days (give up to 7 days).

      7) I spoke to Ebay Customer Support (via phone) and the call centre people are completely clueless to this deal. Initially they told me that I was not eligible then after pressing them about Point 4A (in terms and conditions of the deal) they changed their response to "As long as you can see the banner" and follow the sign up procedure you are eligible for this offer.

      As a precaution I recorded my desktop screen as I did the subscription purchase and also brought up the terms and conditions page whilst recording and highlighting point 4A.
      As many have pointed out the gift card code can take up to 7 days to arrive so be patience.
      Provided you have done the above steps I see there should be no issue with getting the gift card.

      It is best you keep an actual recording of your transaction as you can then use this as proof should they dispute your eligibility or not provide you the Gift Card. For those interested in screen recording software there are many out there but here is the one I used …

    So saw a notification on my phone regarding the $50 voucher. Went into the app, saw the banner, proceeded to go through the process, pay ($49) via paypal, and never got the final message confirming it will be sent to me.

    Sorting it out with customer service. They mentioned they can see my membership, and that the voucher will be issued after 5 business days.

    Time to wait…

    Note: Previously used Ebayplus in the past.

    • cheekymonkey on 06/11/2019 - 12:53

      Exactly same scenario for me. Was advised to wait the 5 business days. Tik, tok

        I took a screenshot of the notification message on my phone, but when I click through there is nothing mentioned anymore of the voucher, so I hesitated to pay $49.
        I can also see it in the scrolling banner on home page via desktop, but again no reference when clicking through …
        I used trial before too.
        Update: In the meantime I have received an ebay message during lunch with the offer so I went for it.

          I got this too, same issue. Contact eBay, they're insisting you should only get the offer via email or SMS not through notification..eBay is bloody useless.

    • edrift on 14/11/2019 - 18:45

      Same.

      Signed up on the 6th Nov after receiving a push notification on my android app about the deal.
      Never got the gift card. Have contacted eBay support and awaiting a response.

      Thank you, very cool

    No banner for me on website, and when I go through it says $39.

    HOWEVERedit, checked my email and I have an email offer about it. It still takes me to the $39 option even tho I got the email offer!

    • easternculture on 06/11/2019 - 13:50

      screen shot after you are logged in with your name showing in upper left corner.

      after you sign up, chat with them and they will honor it (that has been my experience with promotions showing up in my account but not applying)

      • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2019 - 13:51

        However it wants to charge me $39, but the deal it $49?

        I have the email in my inbox, so you think signup and then chat with them and file a complaint and they'll send me a gift card even if they only charged me $39? Ha

          As long as you have received the offer to the account and have proof, they will honor it.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2019 - 13:45

    Got it on two of my three accounts, but I'm not sure if I'll sign up

  • jackwilk on 06/11/2019 - 13:48

    got the offer, not sure I want it…

  • GReeeeN on 06/11/2019 - 13:50

    Literally signed up to plus free trial 3 days ago. Any way I could take advantage of this offer still?/ end the free trial?

  • cycleri3 on 06/11/2019 - 13:54

    Does the gift card need to be used in a single transaction?

    • bitcoinorbust on 06/11/2019 - 14:04

      Nope and is valid for 3 years

  • No on 06/11/2019 - 13:57

    I got this on my secondary ebay account, is there any benefit to having 2 of them?

    Also can you use the gift card to buy a wish gift card?

    Thanks!

    • jackwilk on 06/11/2019 - 14:02

      $2 profit :)

  • parkies on 06/11/2019 - 14:00

    Can you cancel immediately and the plus status remain active until the renewal date, or do we need to be setting a calendar reminder for 12 months from now?

    • johnmelb on 06/11/2019 - 14:01

      Normally yes, with the trial I cancelled immediately but kept plus benefits for the month.

    • Gnilgorf on 06/11/2019 - 14:11

      Typically yes, you can cancel ahead of time and keep the plus benefits until it expires.

      I did so with my previous ebayplus membership. Cancelled well ahead (several months) and kept it until September this year.

      Though by cancel immediately…I assume you mean as soon as you receive the voucher.

  • Stinge Master on 06/11/2019 - 14:00

    Got a message about it within my ebay account. Would it be correct to assume the gift card can be used on anything side wide, no restrictions?

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2019 - 14:05

    I'm on ebay CHAT, the lady mentioned if I pay $39 I will get the gift card. If not, to contact back after 5 days and I asked for a copy of the chat!

    $39, $50 gift card and $5 credit every month to spend isn't a bad deal!(I assume stack the $5 credit with 5% off coles which is basically 20% off a $50 order)

    I really don't see a lot of values in eBay Plus. Given the same pricing I think Amazon prime is worth way more than this. You get not only free delivery and returns on Amazon but you also get free video and music. Not to mention a lot of items on eBay are already free delivery anyway…

    Last time I did a free trial, I forgot to cancel it before they charge me the full year and I contacted support 3 times and they aren't able to cancel it for me. It's very bad customer service in my opinion and I would stay away from eBay Plus if I were you.
