      Is it that difficult to set a reminder? Just like paying your credit card bill, it's on you. You can hardly blame eBay!

      • You don't even need to set a reminder.
        Join then cancel it, it will only terminate the auto payment and let it expire 1 year later.

        The same works for Amazon Prime, if you join prime then cancel it straight away, Although the "menu" for cancellation of membership implies that you lose it straight away, however it isn't the case, it will just cancel the auto renewal.

  • Ok, clearing up when it says $39

    My invoice on eBay shows $48.99

    I think it's still a good deal considering the bonus $5 P/M and combined with the Coles 5% discount equals a neat 20% off a Coles order a month. $120 saving per year on Coles alone. I gather 5% discount on Coles is all eBay plus members, however the bonus $5 credit equals $60 a year bonus.

  • Thanks OP. I clicked the banner in the app and it says "you have already taken up ebay plus for free. If you sign now fee due immediately". Anyone know if Ill get the card as the heading still appears at top of screen join for free card.

    • +1

      If you got the email, chat told me they'll honour it.

      If no email, I'm not 100%

    • I got that message.

      Signed up (no trial period) for $49, and two days later got my $50 giftcard.

      -$1 for 12 months of Ebay Plus… yes please :).

  • Is there supposed to be any indication of the gift card on the sign up page? (received email, previously used trial so no option as mentioned to skip trial for gift card).

    • After I paid, it told me I'd receive the gift card within 5 days.

      • But before that there was no mention of gift card on the sign up page?

        • +2

          Click on the banner, then there is nothing on sign up page, then after confirmation it will show a page that says gift card will be in your inbox soon.

          • @iversonjack: I didn't get a confirmation page afterwards, even after clicking through banner. Hopefully I still get the card.

  • +1

    If you are on a trial and go to cancel, stating it's too expensive, you might be offered a $30 voucher like I was a few moments ago.

  • -1

    signed up, paid with paypal, all good.
    No transaction in paypal list - looks like I wasn't charged yet…
    Already got my monthly redemption code for $5 off $50.

    • Where did the code come? Nothing on this end yet.

      • +1

        Go to your Ebay - Account summary screen, vouchers section
        Reading through fine print now… it's for Plus item only, not site wide… bugger.

        • As long as I can use it with Coles, I'm getting use out of it!

        • I honestly can't find it via Laptop eBay desktop lol

  • Signed up. Hoping to use the $50 gift card on a $229 Switch Lite which may or may not again be offered to those with Plus.

  • Thanks! i got targeted this time, worth it.

  • Hi All,

    I saw the notification come up overnight on my phone. Woke up in the morning to sign up and it took me to the usual eBay Plus page. No mention of the gift card. Anyone got any ideas?

    How do I get this? Nothing in my emails either.

    Annoying!

    • It did that to me also. As long as you click through to that page via the offer link in the email, you will get a message once you've signed up that the $50 gift card is on the way.

      EDIT: Gah, just saw that you said that you didn't get an email. Check your junk folders?

    • +1

      I had the same thing happen, spoke with chat service who confirmed that i have the membership and should receive the gift card in 5 days via email. Check back then!

    • Same thing happened to me.

  • +2

    Ebay can kiss my arse. Once they started this plus nonsense, I just stopped using them when the initial trial ended. Amazon prime is a much better deal.

    • Why?

      Prime is $69, I do like the idea of free international shipping.(what items are included tho)

      eBay Plus with this deal basically cost me $0, plus the $5 per month to use.

      • +2

        Amazon Prime includes Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading, Twitch Prime and free delivery.

        • +1

          Amazon does not jack… this is my key grudge with fleabay.

          • +1

            @[Deactivated]: I've used both..

            if you hunt around and look for the deals when ebay is having sales they come out way ahead of Amazon on price :)

            Find me a R7 3700X on day one of release on amazon for $460 delivered.

            YOU CANT .. That's why i still use ebay.

            Jacking sucks but there are still deals to be found.

  • I see the banner but no link to "Take Up Offer", only the "Start Free Trial" button which I've already done in the past. Nothing about the gift card on the Plus page :/

    Going by other comments, that's still fine? (Can anyone confirm?)

    EDIT: Guess I'll see in five days. I didn't get a message that it was on its way after signing up though..

  • Damn 1 day left of trial, can't find it anywhere on my account.

  • Ugh I got the offer but I want to wait til I actually wanna buy something lol. How long does the promos usually last… 30 days?

    • I'm sure with Black Friday sales, and Christmas you'll make use of it

      • Yep I agree but I'd rather wait til then than be 50 bucks out of pocket haha.

  • I keep getting the $39 offer and none of these good ones… :-(

    • If you got the email, just follow through and pay. You'll find your invoice is $48.99, even tho it says $39.

  • +2

    It's unbelivable how faulty eBay promotion is, this will never happen with Amazon.
    I got the notification on my phone and click on it, it went through to eBay plus page, and no mentioning of $50 GC..Chat with eBay, they have no ideas and not helpful.

    • I also got a phone notification, so logged in on my eBay and then clicked on the banner. No mention of gc but I assumed if I'm not targeted the banner shouldn't show on my page, so signed up. Called up eBay and was told that I'm not eligible so requested a cancellation which will take about 3 weeks. What a mess.

      Make sure you're eligible before you sign up, or wait weeks for a refund. Take screenshots too.

      • As long as you got email, you'll be fine.

        I also got a notice on my app, SCREENSHOT IT.

        • Got an email but no mention via app or when logged in (no banners, etc.)

          Want to take up the offer but also worried it won't work.

      • I got an app notification, and a banner on the app and mobile site. I took a screenshot of the mobile site, but didn't get one of the notification. What was odd is that when I clicked on the banner, it took me to a page mentioning the trial, which isn't part of this deal, and I'm not eligible for it anyway because I've had eBay Plus before (that was at least mentioned on the next page). I checked the T&Cs before I signed up, and they don't say you need the email.

        "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…"
        https://pages2.ebay.com.au/plus/terms-and-conditions3

        • I argued that point with eBay live chat and they said I wasn't eligible.

          • @rith: Same. The rep said you have to get the email. So it doesn't matter that you see it anywhere else apparently. Even when logged in.

  • Thanks.

  • Yeah it’s a mess I had the banner but was told if you don’t get an email you aren’t eligible?! Luckily I found it on a banner at the bottom of a Tuesday deals email. I’d suggest screencapping the banner before proceeding and then go through ACCC if they don’t honour it

    • I've saved the email and also screen-capped the banner in my app

  • just got the email

  • +1

    Hey got targeted for once. Last time I got target for a mystery gift I missed out on it whatever it was.

  • The T&Cs in the app say clearly that signing up through an app banner is also eligible.

    Did anyone get their GC yet?

    • Yes I have. I signed up yesterday afternoon and received the gc this morning.

      • My payment processing email came through just now (signed up this morning)

        Fingers crossed for GC

  • Nope not targeted at me. Not possible to get if you have had ebay plus before

    • I got targeted by email and app and did have 12 months of eBay plus (but didn’t renew)

    • +1

      I had Ebay Plus trial before, and it worked fine for me.

      It's not reliant on whether you had it before, that just dictates whether you get the trial period before being charged.
      I didn't get the trial, but I definitely got the $50 voucher.

    • Nothing in the T&Cs which excludes previous members. I didn't get an email, signed up on the basis of the advertised detail, got message that I'll receive the GC as advised.

      • And received the voucher this morning

  • anyone know when this expires?

  • So I signed up at 3pm 5 Nov
    Received a paypal Receipt email at 11:30pm 6 Nov
    It says payment went through at 4pm 6 Nov
    I login my netbank now, nothing deducted, no transaction record, same amount of money
    And I haven't received the gift card
    what's going on?

  • I signed up to eBay plus yesterday using the banner, which afterward said $50 gift card was coming in a few days.
    The offer I had was also for $39 instead of $49 signup.
    But this morning I was charged $48.99 by eBay marketplaces GmbH…
    Anyone in the same boat? How to dispute?

    • PS Also got my $50 gift card this morning.. on chat with ebay plus to find out about the $39 fee

      • whats the outcome in your case? they keep telling me there was never a $39 membership fee

        • +1

          I sent them a screenshot which they forwarded to marketing team.. I am waiting on outcome.

  • +1

    Got my GC this morning

    • gift card comes in email, or you can see it in the ebay account?

  • Original deal for gift card was $49, mine said $39 however I was charged $48.99

    You can argue, and sure pay $39 but I assume they can say, no gift card as original email stated $49

  • I got this reponse "Unfortunately, we're having a technical problem and can't process your registration for eBay Plus at this time. Please try again later." for the last 2 days

    • I chatted with ebay and they said to sign up on the trial and they will honour the offer that I received.

  • Got my Gift Card today. Thanks OP

  • I got the email and I signed up yesterday. I didn't get the confirmation screen at the end and haven't received a GC yet.

  • Signed up yesterday night, didn't receive GC yet

    • GC received this morning, cheers

  • ok signed up - what is worth buying now? or was the Ozbargain deal just signing up to get that $1 benefit?

  • +1

    The expiry date for this deal is 28 November but eBay can cancel the deal at any time. Just found out on the chat.

    • Anyone know if eBay do that often? Cancel promos early?

  • I'm waiting for a 20% off deal at PoK so I can get a Pelikan M1005 fountain pen cheaper than getting it from Netherlands

    • +3

      20% off should be going live on Sunday

      • Thanks so much! Saved a tonne, got it way cheaper than any overseas price!

  • Gc received thanks!

  • Anyone who signed up 2 days back and haven't got the $50 voucher?

    • Yes, likely because the banner and app notification apparently weren't meant to show up for me (I never got the email). I'm going to wait the 5 days then complain. They'll say I'm not eligible, and I can either argue it and demand the gift card because I meet the T&Cs and they need to get their s**t together, or I can demand a refund. Fun times ahead.

    • Yes me no voucher yet, signed up via app banner. Had to do it twice because paypal rejected the payment the first time.

    • Give it another day or 2.

      Did you get the confirmation on sign up for the voucher?

  • +1

    I didn't get the email, I've been a trial member and cancelled in the past but the banner ad showed up for me on the Ebay Plus sign up page. I queried it with Ebay chat, who first of all told me I needed to have received the email, I replied so why is it advertising it to me on a banner and why doesn't it state that in the terms and conditions. They went away and checked and said that because the banner was showing for me, even though I didn't get the email, I would be eligible as long as I signed up to Ebay Plus by clicking through the banner. I did exactly that immediately and (screenshot everything as I was going through it, including the chat window and the banner ad) and it gave me a message that I'll receive it shortly (5 business days I think). The whole thing took 10 mins to sort out and sign up (total) so if you're not sure, I'd suggest doing what I did exactly. They'll have to honour it that way. I hope that helps.

    • Have you received your GC yet?

      Put order through yesterday morning and have yet to see any signs of it.

    • Update: Got my gift card today and have used it.

      It has a 3-year expiry

  • What's the expiry date on GC?

    Edit - NVM, found it in T&Cs https://pages2.ebay.com.au/plus/terms-and-conditions3

    1. The eBay digital gift card is only redeemable for items sold directly on eBay.com.au. To use the eBay digital gift card you must have an Australian registered eBay account and an Australian postal address. The digital gift card is not refundable, redeemable for cash or reloadable. After first use, the digital gift card is not transferable. The card expires 3 years after the date of issue.
  • Hi, Does it work for current paid members? My membership is expiring in Jan 2020 and I didn't want to miss this offer as I was not Ozbargainer last year, hence a paid member on ebay. When I click on the link which explains the deal on my ebay plus membership. It doesn't go anywhere. Is it a good idea to cancel the remaining two month membership and get almost free membership now?

    • If you cancel the membership now it will still be active until Jan, I don't think it will work.

  • Got my gift card, cheers. Signed up through the app.

  • Got a gift card today, didn't get the email and used the banner

    • When did you sign up?

      • Yesterday morning

  • Make sure you cancel your membership after spending your $50 voucher, and they'll offer you another $30 voucher (T's & C's).

    They will offer you another $30 voucher to stay on 1 year later. ie Once your anniversary comes and they debit you $49, they'll give you the $30 voucher (so -$1 for the first year, $19 for the second)… not bad.

    • But the membership will still last for a year?

      • Yep, but you don't get the 2nd voucher until after the 1st year expires (to stop people cashing in $80 straight away). $18 for 2 years of eBay Plus is worth it I reckon.

  • Just signed up for this offer. Had previous signed up to the 1 year with the free Google Home mini and hadn't had plus for a few months as I hadn't been targeted for any offers. Hopefully my gift card comes through no dramas!

  • How quickly you guys received your gift card?
    Joined on the 6th, still no sign of my gift card.

    • I was on 6th too.
      It's up to 5 business days, so we might just have a couple more to wait.
