  • “Eligible Sellers” means sellers who:

    • do not have a current eBay Basic, Feature or Anchor Store subscription;
    • have Australia or New Zealand as their registered address on eBay; and
    • have an active eBay Plus membership. The eBay Plus Terms and Conditions will apply in respect of your membership;

    • have received confirmation from eBay that “you’ve accepted the offer”.

  • The Promotion entitles Eligible Sellers, who have activated this promotion in accordance with these terms, to 0% variable fees (which is a component of Final Value Fees as defined on eBay.com.au) on the sale of one Eligible Listing sold during the Promotion Period, to a discount of up to $25 (incl. GST). “Eligible Listing” means an item listing that is:

    • newly listed on eBay.com.au during the Promotion Period (i.e. it cannot be a relisted item through ‘Good ‘til Cancelled (GTC) or auto-renewal);
    • listed in multi-quantity or single quantity fixed price or auction format only; and
    • not listed in one of the Excluded Categories (see Ts&Cs).

  • Final Value Fees are the selling fees charged on the sale of an item, calculated as a percentage of the total sale amount paid per item (item price plus postage and handling charges) called a ‘variable fee’, plus a fixed charge of $0.30 per order (incl. GST for non-store subscribers). More information about eBay selling fees without an eBay store subscription can be found here.
  • The discount will automatically apply to all Eligible Sellers and Eligible Items (up to the maximum, if applicable) during the Promotion Period, in most cases. If the discount does not automatically apply once an Eligible Item has been sold, please allow 24 hours for your account to be credited. Any dispute about discounted Final Value Fees must be submitted to eBay in writing within 60 days of the date you incurred such charge, otherwise you waive such dispute and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge.

    Can anyone confirm that new listings made before the end of the promo remain active until they end or auto-relist (even after the promo end date)?

      Can confirm

        Nice. The March 3x worked, there was no reason to assume the single wouldn't too but it's always nice to have confirmation.

        • I Smell Pennies on 27/04/2024 - 18:03

            @I Smell Pennies: Re-listing also worked for years, now we need to use 'sell similar'. Things change and it doesn't hurt to double check every now and then.

      eBay are so stingy these days

    • prankster on 27/04/2024 - 19:18

      How much can you sell to get the max $25? Like what’s the % of selling fee? Eg if I sell a camera and it sold for 1k, how much would I pay from the selling fee?

      • CyberMurning on 27/04/2024 - 19:22

        Make it simple, fee is 11%

      • King Tightarse on 27/04/2024 - 19:54

        Its ~$189 then you pay @ 13%

      • Junk Sifter on 28/04/2024 - 00:41

        How this promo works with eBay's fees is weird. The 13.4% variable rate is based on 12.18% + GST (12.18 x 1.1 = 13.4).

        Sell an item for up to $205.25 (including postage) and this promo will cover all the fee (12.18% of the sale is <$25) and no GST is charged on the variable rate.

        Sell an item for any more (including postage), GST is charged on the variable rate and then this promo will deduct $25 off the total fee. eg. $205.30 x 13.4% - $25 = $2.51 fee

        • whyisave on 01/05/2024 - 06:56

          That calculation is clear to me now, so thank you for that.

          The 'devil' is in those accounting details !

          That "including postage" part, also influences the calculation towards the fee,
          eg. if you sold something $180 but postage is $25.30 ,
          and then you still have to pay $2.51 fee (according to your calculations).

          This doesn't appear to be accurate information, or at least that's not how it worked for me.

          I sold an item for $200 (including postage) and I was charged $2.10 in fees.
          $1.80 variable fee + $0.30 fixed fee.

          • Junk Sifter on 03/05/2024 - 18:24

            @HomeAlone: That's what I was expecting and was certainly the case under previous promos like this, until I sold an item for $200 (including postage) under the April promo and was charged only the $0.30 fixed fee, hence I assumed the same would apply here. 🤷‍♀️

            Happy to be corrected.

            • vee_el on 09/05/2024 - 11:44

              @Junk Sifter: Spot on! I sold something for $200 including postage and expected to pay a little in fees but to my surprise I was only charged the $0.30 listing fee. I was confused and came here looking for an explanation and you've provided it. Thanks!

    Just wondering, how is eBay surviving after Amazon’s integration into e-commerce in Australia. I realised I used to use eBay all the time. I had the yearly subscription too but once Amazon was onboard, with 1-day delivery, I cancelled my eBay subscription and never looked back. Haven’t used eBay for a long time.

    • Empharand on 27/04/2024 - 18:13

      Healthy competition. eBay had too much market-share for too long, now they have to actually put in an effort to retain market-share and offer little incentives for buyers and sellers, last year was a lot better for seller based incentives.

      Second hand market not on Amazon

    • netsurfer on 27/04/2024 - 19:43
      +2

      Basically, price. eBay co-funded discounted items, second hand items. Also, Prime 1-day is only applicable for items shipped by Amazon. I have purchased items from Amazon AU shipped by 3rd parties and the delivery speed is rather average. Without Prime membership, you get treated as a second class citizen. Amazon will post the item when it feels like posting it.

      For me, feeBay Plus is more for selling items so with FVF discount cap and only 1, I won't be renewing it.

    • Buy2Much on 27/04/2024 - 19:47

      They don't compete in the exact same space. Amazon does not cater for private sellers. If people want to sell their used cameras, laptops, phones, game consoles to get the money to upgrade, which platform do they go? And of course the same with buyers who don't want to pay new store prices. Many people are not keen on Gumtree, it's full of scammers, deadbeat low ballers and tire kickers LOL

      • Thaal Sinestro on 27/04/2024 - 20:10

        Only competition seems to be Facebook Marketplatz, but I have not used it before so I don't know how difficult it is to niche items (books, furniture, clothing) on compared to Ebay. Ebay is great for selling electronic goods though. Usually sell within a few days.

  • Ocker on 27/04/2024 - 18:59

    My personal opinion is that Amazon leaves eBay for dead. Amazon is far easier to navigate compared to the clunky out-of-date eBay user interface

      eBay is still the best place to sell used goods. IMO.

      • bohn on 01/05/2024 - 09:27

        what's the best way to sell a used item without the buyer trying to get a refund because they claimed that you sent them a brick/empty box/etc ?

  • Namalsk on 27/04/2024 - 19:29

    Man. They were doing three a month with unlimited cap and now it's only one with $25. Poor effort.

    • netsurfer on 27/04/2024 - 19:58

      Used to be 10 a few years ago. FVF is now 12.18%. Also, used to be the fee waiver is linked when you posted the item for sell, now it is when the item is sold.

    Is it still three half price postage labels per month for eBay plus?

    • Empharand on 27/04/2024 - 20:15

      It's still a thing… but they aren't applying it to every account like they used to. I run 3 and only 1 gets the 3x 50% Off Labels every month (Which happens to be the one that makes the least revenue). Last year was awesome as everyone (to my knowledge) received the 5x Free Labels, then 3x Free Labels, then 5x 50% Labels, then 3x 50% Labels and now it's 3x 50% Off Labels for some accounts

    • netsurfer on 27/04/2024 - 20:16

      Up to 3 for April. Unclear whether feeBay will do the same for May. Also, I found I am only able to get certain ones to work (only regular post, own packaging for AusPost, I don't use Sendle).

    Even eBay is getting to the point of being barely worth bothering with. In the past couple of months I've been cleaning out my shed of old consoles/games, couple of laptops, tools and a VR headset. Just wanted the stuff gone, all working/clean out of 20 listings all $1 start no reserve I had about 40% end up being cancelled or ghosted by the winning bidder - I got 2 made up sob storys on why they had to cancel but the other 4-5 were just "Didn't actually want it" or just complete ghost.

    I have as much restriction on stopping time wasters as ebay allows but it aint a lot and there is diddly squat stopping them creating new accounts and just doing the same thing anyway. I hate dealing with all the morons on gumtree/marketplace so anything that could posted I'd sell on ebay, fees and all was worth it - Not anymore, by the time you pay fees and postage it's hardly worth selling anything. I'd rather save the time and effort and just bin it, which sucks but what do you do.

    • inertia8 on 28/04/2024 - 09:40

      Yeah after dealing with enough wasters on FB.. I just take it to savers or the like.

      Wouldn't even consider eBay after all the stories, including on here, of them siding with buyers even after sellers provide proof that the buyer is lying…

        Tbf you really only hear the horror stories and not the 99% of transactions that go through smoothly - nobody is sharing those stories because they're boring or uneventful.

    • netsurfer on 28/04/2024 - 12:12

      Feebay auctions? I stopped using auctions years ago. You can get false bidders, late paying bidders. With the ever increasing fees, only buy in now with immediate payment required is worthwhile. For low value items, I also just toss them in the bin.

      With buy it now with immediate payment required, for second hand items, most people are after the best price, so I found that if the priced correctly, the item is sold on feeBay within 1 to 2 days.

      • cheap-andrew on 29/04/2024 - 10:52

        I've moved to "Buy It Now" for everything too. I had 4 auctions for game consoles, only one paid. My guess was other fake / new accounts were being used to jack up the prices by other sellers. In the hope that those that were outbid might fall back on their buy it now listings. I have no proof of this, just a wild guess.

  • stoodamire on 29/04/2024 - 09:30

    Does the promo still apply if the listing isn't sold till months later on or do you have to sell the item within the month/offer period?

    • bobokingdom on 29/04/2024 - 10:18

      No. Listed within promo period and sold before the 30 days in up.

  • Rickysupertramp on 29/04/2024 - 11:30

    Would never list expensive items on eBay anymore. Sell a 4.5k camera and pay out over $500 solely on fees.

    Not just me. Hardly any larger items being listed these days. $25 cap is useless.

    • Junk Sifter on 29/04/2024 - 14:15

      You could say the fees have increased since eBay's managed payments system (Adyen) came in; eBay's fee used to be 10.8% before that. But then when you received payment PayPal charged 2.6% fee + 30c.

      In reality the total cost of 13.4% + 30c for non-store sellers hasn't changed in over 5 years.

    • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 29/04/2024 - 14:52

      The difference is they you would've been robbed on FB.

      I'll pay $500 to not be stabbed.

      But seriously, it probably wouldn't have sold on FB because it's only local face to face or haggled all the way down.

      You also set the price and should have accounted for the fees.

      • Scope on 30/04/2024 - 02:07

        Another advantage with ebay is you tend to get a higher sale price. Sometimes even with the fees included, you would get more money than selling it on FB marketplace.

    • bobokingdom on 30/04/2024 - 18:28

      What other options do you have? FB Marketplace/Gumtree is full of scammers. At least eBay takes CC payment and we don't have to worry of getting rob at the parking lot.

  • Shachiku on 01/05/2024 - 15:39
