Decided I wasn't buying enough on eBay plus to justify the membership. Went to cancel and was offered $30 voucher. Might stick around for that.

Under 'My eBay Plus' go to 'edit membership' and cancel. Follow the prompts and you should get a $30 voucher.

Your mileage may vary but it seemed worth the post. Might not work on young accounts, I've been on it for almost a year.

edit: Some people are getting long commitment dates for the voucher. Mine was a month but young accounts can be asked to commit for up to six months. This is better for older accounts with some tenure.

    Awesome! Thanks for this, got the offer for the $30 gift card as well! Cheers!

    It's not a $30 gift card straight up. You need to continue your membership beyond your current expiry!

    "Stay & continue your membership beyond 18 December 2020 & receive a $30 gift card*"

    Or are others getting a different deal!?

    • Stuntdriver on 01/06/2020 - 08:13

      also interested in this, mine doesnt expire until December either, do you get the $30 before then or after you renew?

      • carlenet on 01/06/2020 - 08:19

        T&C
        "The $30 eBay Digital Gift Card will be sent to your registered email address on your eBay account within 10 days of payment of the annual Plus membership fee"

        • krunchymoses on 01/06/2020 - 08:34

          Mine was only contingent on hanging on for another month. So it's probably set by join date.

  • Villainous on 01/06/2020 - 08:16

    Also got it but says will receive after membership payment made, which is Jan 2021….

  • virtualds on 01/06/2020 - 08:17

    got it

  • Tafe on 01/06/2020 - 08:18

    Thanks OP, mine is up in Aug, offered me $30. For $19/year, I don't mind. Prime holds such a better value than most subscriptions imo.

    • Your Friend on 01/06/2020 - 08:36

      Yeah it’s kind of ridiculous how good value prime is at the moment at $5 a month. Surely they will need to bump up the price at some point.

      • iShibby on 01/06/2020 - 08:48

        $5? I'm getting $6.99?

        • ExtraSalt on 01/06/2020 - 08:53

        • 777 on 01/06/2020 - 08:55
          +1

          per year rate of $59 and then if you have Amex added bonuses from time to time

      • BradH13 on 01/06/2020 - 08:58

        Yeah, they will. US Prime is $179 AUD equivalent if paid yearly, more if monthly.

        We're getting a sweet discount for the first few years so they can build their customer base.

        The losses Amazon would be making in Australia would have to be massive.

        • NeoX on 01/06/2020 - 10:10

          You reckon a loss? I reckon they probably making heaps with all the buying I've done just cos it's prime hahah

          • BradH13 on 01/06/2020 - 11:03
            +2

            @NeoX: Their financial reports state Amazon Australia has lost $10M in 2 years, so yeah.

            Like selling cartons of drinks for low cost, with free (sometimes express) postage. There's no way in hell they're making money on stuff like that, for example.

            • ProlapsedHeinous on 02/06/2020 - 03:09

              @BradH13: they make so much money on AWS, this stuff is just a plaything to Bezosberg

              • BradH13 on 02/06/2020 - 10:24

                @ProlapsedHeinous: Yeah, of course. Was never saying they're in trouble. They can afford the losses. 10M is a drop in the bucket for them, but it's still a loss and they won't want to lose in Australia forever.

                • ProlapsedHeinous on 03/06/2020 - 21:06
                  +1

                  @BradH13: Amazon are smart, they are always playing the long game. The competition does not have the stamina to fight them usually. they know all they have to do is choke out the competition long enough, and the market has been captured.

      • muddrex on 01/06/2020 - 09:25
        +5

        The fact you also get prime video makes it well worth it.

      • Hellcrusher3304 on 05/06/2020 - 23:10

        Why is Prime so good value? What are the perks of Prime besides the free delivery?

        I keep wanting to join Prime but I'm not sure if I actually need it.

        • Carnal on 06/06/2020 - 17:05

          If you play games on PC there's also twitch prime which gives free games monthly and cosmetics

  • AceP on 01/06/2020 - 08:22

    Awesome! Got one!! Not sure where can I find that gift card..And can I stack my ebay plus $5 voucher while using the gift card to make purchases. TIA!

    • jimojr on 01/06/2020 - 09:11

      Yes, last year I got $50. It was ebay gift card. So you still can use a promo code.

  • petal666 on 01/06/2020 - 08:26

    i paid $1 for ebay plus on some deal. I'm yet to receive that much value from the membership.

    • HardQuiz on 01/06/2020 - 08:32
      +24

      They paid me $1 and yet I don’t see the value of eBay Plus.

      • edrift on 01/06/2020 - 09:20

        The value of it had really only just started. Now you get a free upgrade to express post from eBay plus sellers.
        Having said that, I've only benefited from this once as most sellers I but from tend not to be eBay plus sellers

        • aerona on 01/06/2020 - 10:15

          Kinda lame now that auspost isn't offering express post currently nationwide. I wonder how this is going to work out when all parcels are done by regular.

          • ibuy on 01/06/2020 - 11:52
            +2

            @aerona: It is pointless to have express post at the moment. Some buyers paid for express post for items I sold and they did not get them any faster. When I contacted Australia post they said until further notice they will not guarantee next day delivery as they are shipping around 2M parcels a day all over the country and cannot cope. So I now have to warn buyers that whilst they may want it faster express post is not guaranteed anymore.

  • Horrorstory on 01/06/2020 - 08:26

    Better of cancelling and resubscribing when they have one of those $50 gift card offers. Which are frequent. This $30 gift card is after paying your renewal for the next 12 months.

    eBay plus isn't worth it as most would tell you anyway

    • 4foxache on 01/06/2020 - 09:14

      For $19 per year of $1.58 per month I reckon its worth it.

                +2

                @Chivalry85: I just rang the eBay Plus support hotline and it appears they've just closed it down. They simply refer you to the "help" link at the bottom of any page. However, the "help" link is a fancy new do it yourself crowd-sourcing type of help page. So basically, no humans from ebay are available to provide you a workaround to their failure to allow you to manage your own subscription. Bad.

                    @Nathw: FYI - the button doens't show up when you have already previously requested for your subscription to be cancelled. Unfortunately that information is not provided anywhere on their site.

    so targeted?

  • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2020 - 08:42

    The lack of eBay 20% off sales on stores like Sony and The Good Guys has made eBay Plus not worth it, considering you can usually go to a stores actual website and buy their items without the eBay markup.

  • Nautilis on 01/06/2020 - 08:43

    When I went to cancel mine I didn't get any offer. They went ahead and cancelled as requested so it may only be with some accounts.

  • videoman on 01/06/2020 - 08:45

    I've been pro-eBay Plus @ $19/yr (because you can cancel for $30GC every year) over Amazon Prime for a while due to lack of variety and pricepoint for a lot of things, but i've noticed my online spending has reduced completely since starting my 60-day Prime Trial so @ $60/year i think Prime might be my future. eBayPlus was good at the start when sellers would send things quickly with tracking. Nowadays its jsut filled with Dropshipping and cheap untracked mailers

  • mr_me450 on 01/06/2020 - 08:57

    Unless you're keen to sign on for another year then I would be hesitant to accept the terms of this. For most people you only receive the voucher after committing to paying for another year of membership.

      But, up voted?

      I learnt my lesson, the first year was good.

      The second I haven't had a single selling promo which this offered.

      Just get Amazon Prime, don't reward shoddy websites.

      • twig on 01/06/2020 - 12:50

        upvoted for visibility because it's a good offer for those who make good use of it. I wouldn't call it shoddy, it's saved me its fair share in shipping when I needed to buy computer parts from multiple sellers

        but personally it reminded me that I haven't needed my ebay plus sub since then
