Under 'My eBay Plus' go to 'edit membership' and cancel. Follow the prompts and you should get a $30 Gift Card.
I chose too expensive, but I really wanted to say sellers jack the prices during percentage off sales!

I just did it today (28 Apr 22 for an account renewing on 4 May)

https://www.ebay.com.au/ebayplus/home

Its a $30 Ebay Gift Card ( not $30 voucher )

https://pages.ebay.com.au/ebayplus/30-renew-membership-gift-…

My payment hasn't gone through yet, so I can only assume it'll come through by email after mine renews.

Thanks to superbass, see also https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/692723 for possible stacking of retention & sign-up offers.

        This is true, it was $50, last time was $40.
        It’s obvious they’re testing their formula.

      There were $50 signup vouchers before.
      The $30GC for renewal is different, and stacks with the voucher.
      I've not seen $40 GC before , for renewing your membership.

    • furyou on 28/04/2022 - 22:14

      yeah, it wasn't worth it when they gave a $50 voucher (that could not be used for 90% of things)

    looks like you might missed out on $20.

    look comments from the previous post. you still cancel (after clicking that you will keep) - get $20 voucher as well as $30 voucher.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/692723

    Total of $50 makes up for the annual fee of $49.

    • Hiphopopotamus on 28/04/2022 - 18:06

      I tried this back in February (when it was still a $40 voucher) and it didn't work, I'm not sure if I messed up but there's a chance they fixed this loophole.

    • johnmelb on 25/07/2022 - 17:19

      Did exactly this for my partner yesterday, got an email now about the $20 voucher, but nothing on the $30 gift card (and I have screenshots).
      I'll give it one more day, but will request to cancel ebay plus and get money back via support because I didn't get the gift card.

      • johnmelb on 26/07/2022 - 11:46

        Ok, in the end we had to wait another day. So it does still stack, but you need 2 days patience for the gift card.
        (Didn't receive an email, but it was there in my partner's ebay messages today.)

        Agreed. With the regular vouchers you get through the year i can pay less than Dan Murphys prices using the CUB or boozebud eBay sites and get free delivery. I save well more than the $49. Plus this deal when about to expire.

    I’ll only renew if they cover the sub fee again for the third year running.

    Otherwise every deal should be called eBay minus

  • videoman on 28/04/2022 - 18:09

    Not the best deal. You only get the $30 after they charge you for the next subscription and there is almost always a better deal available.

  • slam6000 on 28/04/2022 - 18:10

    They simply would not honour those incentives last year and i tried but they stood with you do not qualify . Got plus but with no coupon and could not get a refund . Shying away from ebay especially living in WA after 8 years and 444 purchases.

    • craving on 28/04/2022 - 19:12

      This!

  • justtoreply on 28/04/2022 - 18:12
    +1

    Gift card >> coupon code. Coupon codes are worth 10-20% less than face value since then you can't use the other ebay coupons that we always use.

    Gift cards probably don't have the 30 day limitation either?

    And gift cards probably don't get deducted from the price paid with ebay price guarantee claims.

    It's a passable deal. I wouldn't accept any less than a $30 gift card. Hopefully they get off their butt and do free FVF promos regularly. That would finally be good value.

  • RexHavoc on 28/04/2022 - 18:15
    +5

    When was the last time someone got a free final value fee offer? I feel like it’s been years.

    • [Deactivated] on 28/04/2022 - 18:21

      Start of Dec when they still had a lingering gumtree alliance. That finished part way through Dec. RIP that hack.

      Edit: but a proper ‘above board’ one? 2020.

    • Hiphopopotamus on 28/04/2022 - 18:38

      It will probably never happen because of managed payments. PayPal for example have a small fee which eBay now includes in their seller fees, meaning eBay are now paying that fee, if they did 'free final value fee' promos they would lose money on every sale.

      Perhaps a 5% FVF promo? I don't have my hopes up though.

  • clx on 28/04/2022 - 18:24

    I got it but I can't find where in the account the $30 sits

    • [Deactivated] on 28/04/2022 - 18:25

      Gift cards are tricky you have to have the card no and check balance from a portal. After you apply to your account you can also see it if you add an item to cart and checkout.

  • Drakesy on 28/04/2022 - 18:26

    Looks like you won't get the money until after your sub renews. On the page for me: Stay & continue your membership beyond 28 August 2022 & receive a $30 gift card*

    And then says delivered within 10 days after payment

    I clicked cancel and then they offered me the $30 off.

  • wekimekigugudan on 28/04/2022 - 19:24

    They stopped giving out monthly $5 coupons, and that's one of perks for joining Plus.

    • pinkybrain on 28/04/2022 - 19:38
      +2

      those $5 coupon require $50 minimum purchase
      so I never used it.

      It was better to wait for the big discount % off sales
      since this $5 only equates to 10% off.

  • magic8ballgag on 28/04/2022 - 19:30

    Balancing out the negative comments with positive one, I still use eBay a fair bit and see value in their subscription.

  • crazyperpman on 28/04/2022 - 19:44

    If you take this deal make sure you use the voucher as soon as you get it.

    I joined on this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/692723 and waited a week and it expired, contacted Ebay and provided a screenshot with the code and they said there was no record of a voucher ever being provided to me.

    I called my credit card company and had the payment reversed.

    From my experience of wasting my time with Ebay support over this issue is they are aware they are scamming you and have no interest to resolve the issue. Unless you have a screenshot with your username they will deny you were ever issues the voucher.

    Honestly I looked for a couple of small items yesterday and they were a few dollars cheaper than amazon but delivery (supposedly from Melbourne) by 29th May? Some were June!

    Versus 2 days from amazon? Well worth the extra couple of dollars. I rarely use ebay now.

    • BlueberryOrangeJuice on 29/04/2022 - 01:33

      I’m still waiting over 3 weeks for one item. The seller didn’t use aus post and decided to go with amarex (which have been pathetic in all aspects) and he blames it on the ‘busy easter period’. Stick with Amazon unless you want to try and get a random second hand item (and then you’ll be competing with bots for fun)

      • nathanos on 29/04/2022 - 03:26
        +1

        A lot of sellers use Aramex (previously Fastway), and that company is completely useless - especially here in WA. I typically have my orders sent to parcel lockers as it's a lot more convenient/secure. The number of useless sellers who'll accept your order without restricting delivery addresses, then don't bother looking at the delivery address, and simply lodge it with Aramex who happily pick it up, send it across the country, and only then after a 2 week wait turn around and say we can't deliver to that address … it's just astounding. This happens probably 10-20% of the time with eBay, but I've actually had this happen with an Amazon seller as well. Amazon direct almost always use Auspost unless the item is bulky (but at least then Amazon will tell you they can't deliver it to a PO Box/Parcel Locker in those instances).

    After signing up for eBay Plus couple of weeks ago, I received a $40 sign-up voucher which was good until May 6, then last week, it suddenly disappeared from my voucher summary. The code no longer works and eBay support could not tell me what happened and unable to restore the voucher. Currently the complaint has been “escalated” somewhere in the clouds and I am not too hopeful my claim has been taken seriously. This smacks of deceptive conduct, not to mention wasting 2 hours of my time chasing this up.

    I don't really see the point of eBay Plus any more. Since joining, they've gotten rid of the Coles partnership/discount, the $5 monthly vouchers (even with the $50 mins spend) have gone, eBay Tuesdays are gone, most promos are available without eBay Plus (or you get an extra 2% whoop-de-doo), and the one-off promos are nonexistent.

    So other than the free shipping on a limited number of inflated-price items, what else is there?

    • ggbhai on 21/07/2022 - 12:46

      Nevermind, found it. Looks like I need to use that $30 towards my eye checkup. But in my defence I was searching for it in a pile of all those ebay vouchers that eBay sends out to me, multiple, everyday, for every product I search for or view or add to cart in eBay. How desperate..
