    Sell an iPhone or Get a $100 Voucher for Future Purchase

    I rather get the $100 Voucher for Future Purchase.

  • surfnsnorlax on 09/10/2014 - 12:22

    So you could list an iphone 4s 64gb for $400 knowing it will unlikely sell, and claim the $100 discount

        Write in the listing that the phone was dropped in a portaloo after being used by a bunch of FIFO miners on a lunch break after taco night, but that there's no damage to the phone and it's in 100% working order.

        "No cosmetic or hardware damage - but this phone may have traces of digested chilli in between the seams."

        Easy - no one wants to buy and you get $100!

          You'll be surprised how many people bid without looking at the item description.

      you have to list it within their recommended price range.

    So I would need to price my phone from $65 strating price from what I can see?? and hope it sells at a good price with all the other 1000s also put on eBay during this promotion.

    Edit: Just checked BIN and need to list a 32GB iPhone 4s below

    Price your item at or below AU $196.50 to attract more buyers.
    Similar items sold between AU $123.99 and AU $270.00.

    • surfnsnorlax on 09/10/2014 - 13:16

          Doh! slaps forehead

          Thanks! Overthought it and assumed it was some secret new app that tracks eBay pricings. 'Just checked BIN…' made it sound like it was some other site. 'Look at the BIN prices…' and I might have been able to ascertain it was Buy Now price.

    So am I correct to say if my iPhone sells I don't get the voucher and iF it doesn't in the auction… then I get a 100 voucher..?

    Can we set the minimum auction start price?

    "Price your iphone using our price guidance"

  • notarealperson on 09/10/2014 - 12:30

    Seeing as you have to use their starting price guide (ie not start the auction at $2000) and the iphones have to be working, I don't see how anybody is going to end up with the $100 voucher.

    Maybe you could scrawl some kind of hate insignia on there and hope it deters people…or say that it has random problems but still technically works.

    • thelastnoob on 09/10/2014 - 12:32

        No way! I was just editing my comment to suggest to list it as only used for bathroom recreational activities, whatever that may mean…

        Could backfire though - there are some weird people on eBay.

    Where is the bargain??

    Is there some legit way to avoid selling it at a standard or lower price?
    Can't do pickup-only on Heard Island. I think they covered themselves.

    I suppose some sort of fraud is always possible on eBay - e.g. put in a fake high bid and cancel it at the last second.
    Except eBay might make an exception from the usual policy of ignoring blatant fraud when it is their own money.

    Will there be lots of used iPhones going cheap on eBay soon?

    • [Deactivated] on 09/10/2014 - 13:55

      You are on Heard Island? I find that hard to believe

      • [Deactivated] on 09/10/2014 - 18:54

    nvm

    • Elijha on 09/10/2014 - 12:42

      I don't think the summary is clear but from the comments it seems the offer is "you will sell you iphone or we'll give you $100 ebay credit" they must think a lot of old iphones are out their that people have not been able to re purpose or are to scared to sell.

      [note comment above was edited while I was posting.]

      • Mirage on 09/10/2014 - 12:50
        +1

        no, its obvious the business model for this gimmick is that EBay is hoping to saturate the supply but still risking and predicting the demand for iphones going for cheap prices will protect them from giving away the $100 voucher, all whilst making money off the listing and paypal payments

        • Elijha on 09/10/2014 - 15:30

          I was commenting on their assumed target audience for this promotion, not their business model for it.

  • curiousities on 09/10/2014 - 12:40

    Where can we find the price guidance? I have a 16Gb Black iPhone 4S kicking around. Thanks.

    • notarealperson on 09/10/2014 - 12:43

      I just sold this exact model last week for just under $300. I was surprised at what people were willing to pay for it on eBay.

      • Mirage on 09/10/2014 - 12:51
        +1

        probably not going to be the same for this promotion as the supply will be much higher

  • Lukian on 09/10/2014 - 12:44

    Note that this will take about $12-60 in fees based on final value + likely paypal fees (over other selling avenues), so the voucher ends up being worth less than $100.

    • c0balt on 09/10/2014 - 12:49
      -2

      The voucher would be for you as a buyer, which as you may be aware, doesn't pay fees.

    • raptormesh on 09/10/2014 - 12:49
      +1

      You only get the voucher if it does NOT sell, so no fees in that regard.

    • Mirage on 09/10/2014 - 12:53
      +1

      eBay's not that stupid to give you a voucher if the iphone sells.

      You only get it if it does NOT sell… which is highly unlikely (at low prices)

  • Mirage on 09/10/2014 - 12:56
    +3

    Once there is one BID on your auction, there goes your $100 voucher and the iphone…
    Whats stopping EBay from using their own employees bot bidding on all the auctions at the starting price…..mmmm

    • videoman on 09/10/2014 - 14:07

      They don't need to do that. Anything apple usually goes for ridiculously high prices on ebay. I always sell my old apple stuff on ebay.

  • ChadHominem on 09/10/2014 - 13:03

    Just make the main image a photo of the iPhone with one of those 'fake cracked screen' wallpapers. Then in the description you can say the screen is in perfect condition, and the phone comes with a free wallpaper.

  • Mirage on 09/10/2014 - 13:18

    I wonder if the iphone is still eligible if the screen is in great condition only because it has been replaced before?

    Where does it tell you the suggested price? The only thing I see when I went through it for an old 4S was:

    "Start your auction at AU $0.99 to attract more buyers.‡"

    Seems like a half baked idea in general.

    • roughana on 09/10/2014 - 14:28

      For me with title "Apple iPhone 4S 16GB Black", I was presented with guidance at the point of entering the starting price for an 'Auction'. When I changed it to 'Fixed Price' I was given the recent sales range.

  • TravelKon on 09/10/2014 - 13:46

    If the winning buyer "changes their mind" and we cancel the transaction does that count as "it does not sell"?

  • dynamike on 09/10/2014 - 14:04
    +6

    There's no likely scenario in which you gain the $100 voucher. This is not a deal/bargain and should be posted in the forums. If anything, it's the opposite as more iphones will be on ebay driving the prices down.

  • roughana on 09/10/2014 - 14:10
    +5

    Looks like this is very heavily slanted towards getting a sale.

    Model Max starting guidance Max recent sale
    4S 16GB $274.99 $350
    4S 32GB $250.00 $340
    4S 64GB $300.01 $400

        I explain that here

        • surfnsnorlax on 09/10/2014 - 15:06

          but in order to qualify for the voucher, do you not need to use the "Start your auction at AU $199.70 to attract more buyers."

    What if you had a damaged iPhone and charged rrp, or close to it? Easy $100 as it would not sell.

  • victorwilson on 09/10/2014 - 14:59

    I believe this should not be a bargain, as there is a significant amount of risk involved, with no guarantee of receiving any benefit.

  • roughana on 09/10/2014 - 15:05

    Anyone listing an iPhone with the intention of not selling it is not entitled to the coupon:

    eBay reserves the right to disallow or reverse a discount in circumstances where it believes or suspects a sale or purchase of any item as part of this offer has not been made in good faith or where a user has attempted to circumvent or has breached these terms and conditions in any way.

    The only real way to cheat the system would be to offer pick up in a location that no one would want to pick up.

    The starting price for a working, unlocked iphone 4, 16 gb is now $45! Phone works perfectly and has no screen or water damage.I think I'll just give the phone to someone rather than sell it on ebay @ this price and have to pay fees on top of it.

  • slknv on 29/10/2014 - 18:31

    Hmmm… Was thinking of listing my wife's old iphone 4, 32gb - but the power button is a bit flaky and the microphone often screws up. Would it be eligible for listing even with these faults?

      Yes it would have been eligible. But the offer period has ended on the 31St of Oct.
