Got this pop-up promo when I went to the eBay website today. $40 voucher upon signing up to eBay Plus ($49 annually).

Not as good as the previous $50 deals but it's an option if you've been wanting to sign-up.

I got my $40 voucher straightaway after signing up, valid for 30 days. The account has been used for the free trial in the past.

Copied the link from the pop-up banner. Not sure if targeted (doesn't seem to be from the URL). Apparently targeted. Would appreciate feedback in the comments.

    Questionable value either way seeing as can’t stack with ebay codes

      I dont think Ebay Plus at $49 is brilliant, but effectively paying $9 a year is good imho.

        Yeah only good deal if you’re getting something that doesn’t need a coupon to get a good deal. (Ie most things posted to ozbargain)

      Good value with combination of CommBank Rewards if anyone has it saved.

      Got $40 voucher & 1yr for $29.

      Voucher is good for used electronics from individual sellers.

        How do you get the commbank rewards?
        It seems like every item I want usually has a bit of a discount or code already.
        Worried I might not use the 40 voucher within 30 days.

        • Jimbuscus on 16/08/2021 - 00:40

          Minimum is $40.01 spend, can get a good USB/SDcard.

          CommBank Rewards are in the "For You" section of the CommBank app menu.

      • Safoan on 17/08/2021 - 23:12

        Ebay charged 48.99 to my card for some reason and it's says cash back with 49 spent. Don't know if it will work.

        • Jimbuscus on 17/08/2021 - 23:19

          There was another reply where they got the cashback from $48.99.

        Did you actually check with commbank about this? Sounds really stupid for commbank to offer $20 back when it is not possible to get the deal.

        A lot of people have success in the original deal?

        • On1 on 15/08/2021 - 18:51

          The deal works fine even when charged $48.99.

          However if u sign up now, u probably won’t be charged till September by which the CommBank deal would have ended.

          • truetypezk on 16/08/2021 - 01:51

            @On1: It is pretty strange, sometimes they charge your card within minutes while sometimes they add it to your monthly bill and only process it when the invoice is due.

    Though many say eBay Plus is not worth, I feel we can easily get our $50 subscription fee as they provide so many freebies multiple times in a year.

    I agree that, many of eBay products comes with free delivery and eBay Plus wont help but ROE is definitely there.
    We shouldn't be comparing against Amazon Prime as that's meant for free deliveries but eBay Plus is more than that.

    It's just 2 cents.

    • Jay Nomad on 15/08/2021 - 17:48

      Also often the private sellers on ebay are susceptible. I placed a book order with some discount thrown, item never sent but they argued their carrier lost the shipment. The fact that Amazon directly managing most item on their site makes quite a difference.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2021 - 17:51

        eBay definitely refunds the money if we prove that item is not delivered. PayPal protection is there too.

        • Jay Nomad on 15/08/2021 - 19:08

          You are right, I did get the money back. But I did want the product, and their response was rather we give you the money back, there was no attempt to send another item or what so ever… if you see the holistic view as Ebay a brand compared to Amazon, this is the reason they struggle imo…

            +2

            @Jay Nomad: That's because even the seller send the 2nd item, if the item doesn't reach before the dispute be closed, the money will still be refunded back to you and the seller has to spend at least 30 minutes to chat withe ebay to get their money and sometimes eBay will refuse to do that because eBay won't asking buyer to pay again but they have to give the money out of their own pocket. SO MANY seller had complained about this "smart" dispute close system and yet nothing changed since last year. If you message sender they may resend you the book, but if you open the dispute, they would just rather refund you payment.

    • megabytez on 15/08/2021 - 22:01

      For me I got my money's worth from the last eBay Plus subscription through those Tuesday deals.

      Managed to get 6 packs of 16 Finish Quantum dishwasher tablets for just $2, and a set of Bluetooth earpods for $1. Plus some other deals that were 'eBay Plus only'.

    • G-rig on 16/08/2021 - 09:05

      Exactly, it's worth it for the deals that come up year around, and free delivery/returns

    I signed up with this offer 2 weeks ago because commonwealth rewards offered $20 cashback if you spend 49 dollars or more on eBay plus subscription (new signup only) it worked beautifully as I have already received cashback, plus $40 eBay discount. So, I paid 49, and received $60 benefit. Check your Commonwealth app for cashback reward offer. You will need to activate it from app before spending on eBay plus membership

    Carefully everyone, you don't know when you will receive the voucher, and you won't receive any email regarding the voucher. One day when you would like to find out and use the voucher, sorry, expired! When you contact with eBay, sorry again, no way, no return or extend. Bad bad bad :(

    • megabytez on 15/08/2021 - 22:25

      Can confirm that you don't get an email regarding the voucher, but I got the voucher code immediately after paying for the subscription as a pop-up banner.

      The said code also appeared in the My eBay page.

      • Maxsam on 15/08/2021 - 22:42

        You're very lucky Mate, when I registered, I didn’t receive the voucher immediately, and then it was what I described as above T_T.

        • veyron on 16/08/2021 - 08:08

          Check your eBay messages once or contact support if you can't find the voucher in the messages. The voucher usually appears automatically under every product you browse with the label "Take $40 off with this item" .

    • Anonymous101 on 23/08/2021 - 20:24

      Same didn't receive any email. Under my ebay summary my voucher said "Expires 20/8/2021" but apparently the last day I could use is 19/8/2021 on 23:59. Whereas as far as Ik when it says expires on X date I should be able to use it until 23:59 of that X date not that the day before.

      Contacted ebay and same result they are sorry but no extend or return (for membership cancellation). I am pretty sure I would have different experience if it was Amazon Prime.

          Chatted again this morning and managed to get a new coupon with 1 month expiry date arguing that the previous coupon didn’t have an expiry time.

          This time the representative was more understanding whereas previous one kept arguing. I guess it depends on you end up chatting with it.

  • USER DC on 15/08/2021 - 22:44

    Make sure to use your $40 voucher within that month of 30 days otherwise its $0.

    Basically you need to be able to use voucher otherwise meaning don't signup to eBay plus if you don't want to buy something immediately.

    Or else you'll be off by a big margin

    $40 voucher true worth is only like $30 in my opinion, because it cannot be stacked with any other vouchers/promo codes (Afterpay and discounted gift card promotions can still be stacked but that's rarely case on small value items i.e Under $50)

          Didn't have to chase it, it just landed in my account.
          Did you activate the reward before placing the order ? Did you use the card which was eligible for the reward ?
          Why did you get 49$ Ebay refund ? The initial transaction would have been reversed. So I don't think CommBank is going to give the 20$ now.

          • USER DC on 16/08/2021 - 14:35

            @veyron: Yes activated before spending and used the correct card
            Ebay refund because it was Prepaid hence the ebay plus subscription was cancelled by ebay themselves, in seller's account balance became negative, complained to ebay that they have my 49 $ and cancelled membership too, at the end they refunded 49$

            The creteria is spending 49$ on ebay plus which was done so it should be eligible but i think my fam is super dumb he won't chase combank he's kinda lazzy person who doesn't care about promos etc only i in fam care honestly.

          In the description

          Yet combank did not honor anything to fam

          But as i already know he doesn't care about his money enough he wont bother even spending a min trying to call combank but spend 2 hours on me saying i do my own sh*t etc, bottom line he doesn't care about cashbacks etc and never he wants to spend extra efforts to ensure he gets what he was told, he's suffered a lot by this ridiculous attitude of his (of not caring he gets what he was told) yet he being older than me, acts like a child.

          At the end will simply just need to sign up using different card without combank promo because I can't deal with his sh*t

  • Kevin Coleman on 16/08/2021 - 10:19

    I found that eBay plus is somewhat of a scam! I eventually did sign up (no special offers so $49) & initially got some okay deals in the first week. Now pretty much nothing & I buy about five things a week.

    • G-rig on 16/08/2021 - 10:51
      +1

      How is it a scam? Perhaps not great value if there is nothing you want to buy, but pretty much pays for itself with the $50 for $49 over a year. Not that I like BNPL, but some of the afterpay codes are great. The $5 a month vouchers could be a bit is a waste when you're looking for something to buy for the sake of it, however I've received more than a few $5 vouchers (no min spend) as stuff was late, or apparently late.

    • USER DC on 16/08/2021 - 21:54

      5 things a week that's way more than me.

      Personally think eBay plus is a good service, especially considering how much blunder they create like the latest addidas shoes blunder.

      Or afterpay $10 voucher hack (with no minimum spend)

      etc. only problem with it is deals are rare, but again you need to consider that you only buy this eBay plus service, when you need to buy something from eBay for around $40 at least, (with no promo code,and item need to be cheapest in market, which aren't many)

      If you follow this advice, eBay plus is not a SCAM at all. Only a positive thing.

      THOSE Extra blunders, hacks, price errors etc. on eBay way overpay the eBay plus Price itself.

    Make sure that if you see this and click through to sign-up, do not navigate away from the page.

    I had this banner appear, I clicked it. However, I then proceeded to the eBay Plus page to read about the perks. Returned to the eBay homepage and the banner was gone. Presumably I'd shown interest in eBay Plus, so they decided they are no longer prepared to give me a discount.

    I contacted support who confirmed that as long as I'd previously clicked the banner, the offer would be applied… It was not. I've since contacted support with the transcript of the previous conversation. Been around a week now and am waiting to hear back.

    - as a buyer, regular 10% discount codes across most items (not this eligible crap now). often 3x each promotion
    - as a seller, frequent $1 FVF or free altogether promos. This is still being offered now but seldomly.
    — side note, if you combine the above two together, you know what happens ;)

    With ebay Plus:
    - it used to be $49 membership for $50 coupon
    - now its $49 for $40 coupon

    I think for buyers, less appealing (other than some BS promos) but for sellers, its okay. The offsetting is now that ebay doesn't use paypal as their platform, you get much better value when you sell under a promo.

    Yeah, didn't see OP deal till today, yeah targeted in my case :- was looking for a cheaper/biddable/Australian Chromecast with Google Remote - thought well $99.95 Everywhere local & G store so $40 off - Great.

    But sneaky way it was introduced was :- first mentions the monthly price, then the annual - so thought Maybe can sign up monthly - nup annual from the start.

    eBay Plus Free delivery (slightly regional so might be not-quite-free) Is the most useful to me, never sold mostly 'cause of postage hassle & nothing buyable, but worth selling.

    Thinking Should cancel straight away & hope for future re-join coupon offers - been quite a while since 2nd last buy from eBay.

    Off Topic - (Been not buying KFC weekly so got 2nd Spend $10 save $4 thru App today - got Secret Menu Spicy Bacon Burger Zinger Stacker - think Triple Bacon Triple Stacker Zinger Burger is TOO big & no lettuce either).

    EDIT ↑ Whoops looked closer at pic on app - Not triple bacon Zinger® burger - actually triple cheese, triple sauce with 1 top layer of Habanero Bacon - other B's HOT sauce like pure Mustard but brownish & bit of tomato? relish - usual layer of falling off lettuce.

    How can I tell if I'm eligible or not?

    I signed up yesterday paying via Commbank card but the transaction is still pending in my account.

    Does anyone know how long it usually takes?

    $20 cash back offer ends tomorrow and I'm worried if payment doesn't go through I'll miss out.

    • jabam on 17/08/2021 - 16:12

      Mine is pending too!

    • 8mazing on 18/08/2021 - 21:47

      i only just signed up so see what happens haha

    Ack - first $5 coupon code as eBay Plus member - oh Ok no Bunnings etc - quick read of T&C's - thought I'd try it.

    Dammit missed $50 min spend condition (was trying on a $5.95 25 x 30 mm proper chrome keyrings order) - will stay joined for now, might cancel 3-6 months early to try for free $20? 30? coupon for re-joining.

    [don't buy much stuff might be un-OzB'y to stay/re-join at all - hoping for ultra-cheap-local-item Or win-low-bid before canceling].

    I contacted eBay customer service via chat session today advising that when I clicked on the offer and was taken to the signup screen there was no evidence of $40 coupon offer.

    The service rep provided me with the following link - https://pages.ebay.com.au/Buyer_coupons/plussignup/ confirming that it would be honored (within 72 hours) and provided me with a reference number for the conversation - I also have a copy of chat transcription.

      Oooh nice one!

      • Plebo2000 on 19/08/2021 - 13:42

        Just completed my transaction, $40 coupon is provided instantaneously and is valid for 30 days.
