Looks like anything listed as a 'BBQ' under the BBQ category will be entitled to a 50% off discount this sunday! (Max $250 discount)

"The offer entitles you to a 50% discount off the total purchase price (excluding postage) of BBQs in the BBQs category on www.ebay.com.au purchased during the Offer Period."

Hopefully we see some other stuff listed in the category too (assuming that works).

WARNING:
eBay have just added this line to their T's and C's:

eBay reserves the right to disallow or reverse a discount in circumstances where it believes a sale or purchase of any BBQ or other item as part of this sale has not been made in good faith. This includes any collusive conduct by buyers or sellers or any other conduct which eBay considers to be unfair or untoward.

(Thanks JDF)
Be wary of buying items that aren't BBQ's in the category with the discount!

Regardless, anyone after a BBQ should check out eBay this sunday!

  • 1 transaction only (per account)
  • Multiple items per transaction allowed
  • $250 max discount ($500 spend)
  • Must pay with PayPal
  • Must purchase during the offer period (Sunday)

Mod Warning: Please do not post your own eBay listings in this thread. Such comments will be unpublished, the commenter will be banned from participating in the thread and account penalties may apply. Use the classifieds instead for personal items.

      Go for the ones with pickup. Postage is not included.

    The terms (3) specifies that the deal refers to "BBQs in the BBQ category". Take note when you're buying your item that it is in fact a BBQ. I assume that with these terms they could choose not to honour firepits, gas bottles, bbq covers and other BBQ related stuff that isn't a BBQ.

    • chuie on 28/08/2014 - 16:44

      It depends on what you want out of your bbq. Start by deciding whether you want it to be fuelled by propane gas (convenience) or charcoal/wood (flavour). If the former pick the q family, the latter the one touch kettles.

    It is possible to make some profit from it if have a different PayPal/ebay account selling one bbq to the other account …(never sold stuff on ebay but I think it may work ?) . For example list one bbq for 500$ then buy it with the discount for 250$ but the buyer will receive 500$ or maybe less with ebay/PayPal fees but still more than 400$ I think… :x

      What happens if I sell my mate a used BBQ for $500 pickup and he sells me his for $500 pickup?
      Do we both get paid $500 and charged $250?
      Seems like a great way to both profiting ~$250 each (yes, there are eBay fees to consider)

    I do get a little worried about all iphone/ipad/ps4 talk when it comes to these deals. These are genuinely good deals for many people, and if ebay decide the people selling phones as BBQ's or Toys are ruining their deals, they'll probably just stop doing the deals, which = no more genuine ebay deals.

    • tomclancy on 28/08/2014 - 11:51

      EBay are doing these deals in an attempt to win back customers that are leaving in droves to aliexpress, baobao, and the tens of popular dropshipping sites. Frankly, the sooner eBay/paypal go under the better for all buyers and sellers alike

      • PlagueistheCheap on 28/08/2014 - 16:09

        Not really

      • Crazy Diamond on 28/08/2014 - 21:19

        Agree with apate - once a great, useful and unique marketplace, eBay has now lost most of that, plus fees bordering on crazy on a % basis. The only remaining competitive advantage they have - which is rapidly being eroded as people take to other sites like those mentioned above - is product range and depth. Think they can't go under, and be blown away by a later arrival? MySpace anyone?

        But I'll still be spending some time in their BBQ section thus Sunday :)

    • martyn on 29/08/2014 - 09:04

    I think this will end up being a bit of a fizzer unless you are legitimately getting an actual BBQ, all these other crazy schemes of selling phones and PS4's etc will probably all end in tears as there is bound to be a killjoy who goes through and reports the suspect sales to ebay and they all get cancelled when they are obviously not a legitimate BBQ offer.

    Of all the nonsense in this thread, the only part of it that may slip through the cracks and work will be selling BBQ's backwards and forwards between friends as someone else mentioned but i think the number of people doing this will be fairly limited. People viewing the sale are going to be disappointed if they come looking for non-BBQ's on the day as I think it will end up being fairly well monitored and all but the most well disguised of sales will get knocked on the head as a minimum, with potentially more serious consequences to people's accounts for the more blatantly stupid.

    • mooreshady on 30/08/2014 - 07:54

    I can't find BBQs locally so I've been trying to figure out some other way to get in on this. Anyone see any flaws with this plan?

    • Join Club BCF (free registration)
    • Buy Weber Q (Q2000) LP BBQ for membership price of $350.10 and pickup from store.
    • List on eBay for $500.
    • Give friend $250 to 'buy it' from you.
    • Deduct PayPal and eBay fees from the $500 payment.

    PayPal fees: $12.30 (2.4% + $0.30)
    eBay fees: $49.50 (9.9%)

    • Should now be left left with $438.20 in PayPal account after having spent $600.10

    $600.10 - $438.20 = $161.90

    Could even cancel the transaction within 45 days and get eBay fees credited back making the final price of the BBQ $112.40 :D

    • superbass on 28/08/2014 - 23:20

      2. Purchase fictional BBQ with $250 on your own account.
      3. List fictional BBQ you dont own for $500 on your own ebay account.
      4. Purchase fictional BBQ with $250 on your 'parents' account.
      5. Withdraw cash from both paypal =~$887(from $500 outlay)
      6. Join Club BCF
      7. Buy Weber Q (Q2000) LP BBQ for $350.10.
      8. Enjoy =~$37 profit and new Weber BBQ.
      Alternatively buy this(http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-MODEL-Bbq-Lp-Q2000-Weber-Q-/1…) on another ebay account for $205 on Sunday and make even more money.
      A bit of effort and time,but worth it I would think if you can pull it off.

    How do you do multiple items in one transaction? the only way I can think of is to buy quantity more than 1 for any one item. Can two or more items be done in one transaction??

      eBay has a shopping cart nowadays (like a normal online store) so you can add multiple items to your cart and then checkout.
