Not the greatest offer on earth, but the drought is finally over. Does NOT appear to be targeted, ignore the tag. Might be good for new members, I don't know, mod made it for renewal only, might have inside information.

I've been trying to renew my lapsed membership by clicking on "free trial" for ages and hoping an offer would appear.

I have not received any email, or any banner, but when I went to free trial it finally offered me $19 for a year.

Please give it a try and advise in the comments how you go.

        Any advantage in selling stuff through eBay over marketplace or Gumtree?

        • salmon123 on 22/01/2025 - 21:55
          +1

          eBay has protection for buyers and seller (for whatever it's worth). Makes some medium value transactions more palatable for shipping.

          Gumtree is kind of dead. FB only really works for cash on pickup.

    • neonlight on 22/01/2025 - 19:12

      Ok then might as well wait. This is just a bait

      Be mindful that the credit is only for 30 days. I didn't notice this and had my credit expired. Went to chat with them and got refused of reissuing the credit.

        Yeah I've been burned on the exact same thing, but with $50CR.

        Ever since then, eff eBay!

    Doesn't work for me. Price shown is $49. I think my eBay plus has lapsed last year in Oct.

  • xyron on 22/01/2025 - 18:37

    Thanks OP, I was lapsed as of November 2024, was not missing it at all, but at $19 I'll spin the wheel again.

    Immediately cancelled it too so they don't sting me for another $49 next January (they did try to offer me a $30 voucher if I didn't cancel, but the voucher would only be given to me after 21 January 2026! What a joke.)

    • TEER3X on 22/01/2025 - 20:08
      +1

      Well it's almost the same as paying $19 in 2026 for another year, since the regular price is $49.

      I'm not even sure eBay plus is worth $19 anymore tbh.

      • xyron on 22/01/2025 - 20:09
        +3

        not really, given eBay's terrible track record of actually delivering those $30 vouchers, and the arbitrary restrictions they place on them when they do. The promise of a $30 voucher in 12 months time is not worth $30 in cash!

  • nathanos on 22/01/2025 - 18:37
    +8

    Main reason I had eBay Plus was for the pretty good Black Friday deals. After last year and the complete lack of half decent Black Friday deals eBay offered, I won't be renewing - even at $19.

      I was getting good deals on 3D printing filament which made it worth it, but haven't seen one for a while now.

      I guess everyone uses Amazon for new and Facebook marketplace for used now, don't see where eBay fits in anymore. But it's still good for filament.

      • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 08:41

        eBay is good for supplies, materials, refurbished electronics and packed furniture, AliEx for small, light things and Chinese electronics, Amazon for western brands, and, yes, Facebook marketplace for used pickup stuff.

    • BeauKilla on 23/01/2025 - 09:33

      You're doing it wrong if you can't find good savings on eBay smh

      contact them and they will refund it, I did nearly a month after auto renewal. Used chat

    I joined on the $10 deal here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/876700) back in November 2024 and in the 3 months since haven't actually made any purchases on eBay. There just haven't been any compelling deals on eBay plus……

    • MBix on 22/01/2025 - 19:11

      It's a bit like that these days sadly but generally a few times a year a deal will pop up that makes it worthwhile in my use case like final value fees being waived, or an extra juicy discount when buying 3D Printer Filament for example and it ends up paying for itself quite easily and then some.

      Such deals are definitely becoming less frequent though

    • neonlight on 22/01/2025 - 19:47

      Yeah it's expected. Unless you can find stuff via other channels. Also plus didn't give much advantage over non plus

    Thanks OP. Can someone please advise at what stage it should show $19 (as mine shows $49 right through to just before adding payment details). Hesitant to add PayPal in case it then charges me $49 right away. Should it change to $19 after adding PayPal? Many thanks!

    • netsurfer on 22/01/2025 - 20:10

      It showed $19 right away in my case.

    For lapsed peeps who can't get it to work, I googled "ebay plus sign up now" and there's a sub link on the Google results that says "sign up now" - that instantly offered it to me for $19

    (I did turn on desktop mode on my phone browser when I did this)

      How soon can ya use that (then really cancel)?
      You only get that if you keep your membership, up to you if you want to spend $49 for a $30 voucher.

  • TheZohan on 22/01/2025 - 21:10

    I'm a lapsed member, didn't say anything but when I clicked through it was $19. Thanks!

    Facebook marketplace is the new place to buy and sell now. EBay is old news and gumtree is dead as a doornail.

    • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 08:54

      eBay is good for supplies, materials, refurbished goods and also packed furniture (beds, mattresses, etc). Gumtree still good for cars, heavy equipment, etc. Facebook marketplace is good for used consumer goods to pick up nearby, but not for 2nd hand stores that can post anywhere in the country, for instance.

    Ebay Plus is pretty average these days. No more fee free items when selling, you used to get 5 a month. No real benefit for sellers at all. The $5 monthly coupon now has a $25 min spend. Never any sitewide discounts and what discount codes there are never work on any items you want.

    • billdsl on 23/01/2025 - 08:51

      The $50 of value for a year is definitely a stretch, they used to have heaps of good discounts for buyers but the last few months I did have my membership was very meh

      • TEER3X on 23/01/2025 - 13:14

        Yeah even just before like 6 months or so, the discounts for the year weren't bad.

        I haven't seen anything decent lately at all.

  • BH1 on 23/01/2025 - 03:34

    Clicked on "try it free" (as i cancelled mine 1 year ago) and says $49 annual. i select payment method(paypal) and u have stopped there.

    Yeah this is targeted. I think

    • G-Shock on 23/01/2025 - 06:26

      What if you try this link, mine said $49 to start with but changes to $19. Probably is targeted though.

    Better than any deal that offers "vouchers".

  • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 08:44

    Got it, cancelled it, got the $30 voucher to stay on next year. Let's see what happens next month 😉

    • G-Shock on 23/01/2025 - 09:19

      So spend $19, cancel to get $30? Then cancel again before $49 charged? Funny they'd give you the $30 already a year out.

      I may not bother but still got a $10 voucher for enabling communications, can't use without eBay plus. Would owe me $9 to join again I guess.

      no need really with Amazon and AliExpress, but you can still use the yearly codes anyway.

      • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 10:05
        +1

        Depends what you're buying… eBay still best for heavy supplies and materials (I buy 50kg sacks of Epsom salts, for instance), for refurbished electronics and packed furniture (beds, mattresses, etc). AliEx is good for small, light stuff and Chinese electronics, but anything heavier, shipping kills it. And Amazon only for western (and some Chinese) consumer goods, not bulk materials (I find). Even supplements, not once have I found it cheaper on Amazon than on iHerb.

      • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 10:42

        still got a $10 voucher for enabling communications

    • Going Broke on 23/01/2025 - 09:45

      $30 voucher is for next renewal and will be paid when you pay the $49 membership first. Unless my understanding is incorrect.

      • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 10:01

        I think you're correct. Good to lock in the offer for next year too, though. Can still cancel before then anyway.

                @G-Shock: Have both? I do. I prefer Zip bc I don't have to load it up, and be left with the balance there if the purchase doesn't go through. I also prefer Revolut to Wise for the crypto. And I can get Wise through Up too. But I do use it for overseas transfers.

                  Yeah leftover balance is crap but it isn't afterpay at least. Can just use at woolies or something.

                  Haven't looking into the crypo side of it, can you transfer money from Binance without fees? Hard getting your cash back out these days.

                  • wisdomtooth on 23/01/2025 - 10:54

                    @G-Shock: Yeah, afterpay never caught on for me… I don't need the financing, just payment services.

                    can you transfer money from Binance without fees?

                    Dunno, I don't have it. I opened a Coinbase account to place bets on polymarket. On Revolut, I just buy and hold.
