Just like my previous deal eBay has brought out a new $20 voucher for new and inactive users. This promo starts today and ends on 31st march.

You can find the terms of the deal here

To receive the $20 voucher you need to enter your email address into this page. You may need to use incognito window to see the page. If you are eligible then eBay will send you a $20 voucher within 48 hours.

Hope you guys have kept new unused accounts or inactive ones.

Edit: It seems like you need to do the incoginito window again to see the page where you input your email address.

Here is the link i found on the home page.

    Does this work for new account created after I write this? :)

      Definitely not man. You should keep some spare one's for times like this :)

      • urbancartel on 08/03/2018 - 14:11

        Sounds like a plan ;)

        • Scrooge McDuck on 08/03/2018 - 15:01

    Rewards for not actually using their service…

    • Pricebeat on 08/03/2018 - 14:30

      Yeah don’t understand their logic behind this.

      Inactive user: gets $10 voucher for being inactive. Buys stuff worth $10 and goes back to being inactive.

      What they should instead be doing is set some amount that if you spend this much in a month or so, you will get $20, $30 etc. voucher. What this will do is get people to spend more just to reach threshold to get discount vouchers.

          Yeah don’t understand their logic behind this.

          It's basic marketing. I imagine ebay being a big company has spent resources researching the best use of marketing dollars to increase users on their platform, this being one example.

      • netsurfer on 08/03/2018 - 15:39

        Maybe, based on your searches in feeBay, they can send you e-mails to entice you to buy more items.
        I received a lot of e-mails from feeBay recently. They obviously cannot tell whether I was browsing feeBay for similar listings to decide what to set the price of my items or I actually want to purchase items. I get e-mails for similar items I just sold or listed to sell.

        Or, they just want to pump up the revenue. Large shareholders care more about revenue coz they consider the business is growing if the revenue increases.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2018 - 21:19

        This comment every time there's an eBay voucher promo going. Do you really think eBay's marketing team is that dumb? This current system obviously provides them with more revenue in the long term with new customers.

        • Pricebeat on 08/03/2018 - 23:36

          If they have to give away $10 credit for free it’s clearly not working. Point here is whether to give it to inactive users or regular

        • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2018 - 23:53

          So if it's not working why do they keep doing it?

      • TtiGeR on 09/03/2018 - 04:11

        Apparently, someone's KPI has "monthly active user / growth" as a goal. It would also look good on eBay AU's report to the headquarter.

    • tryagain on 08/03/2018 - 20:01

      It's not meant to be a reward, it as an inducement

  • Mario1234 on 08/03/2018 - 14:19

    Got about 10 accounts to use this with, thanks for the reminder

      With 10 PayPals?

      • netsurfer on 08/03/2018 - 15:17

        Multiple accounts can share the same PayPal account. I cannot remember the limit per PayPal account. For buying, it is easy to create new PayPal accounts.

      I should have made it a bit more clearer on the OP. I will update that. You need to enter your email address on the page provided and if you are eligible eBay will send you a $20 voucher within 48 hours.

      I'm wondering this myself. I've logged into ebay over the past 12 months but haven't sold or purchased anything.

  • orbital on 08/03/2018 - 14:42

    Used the last $10 voucher on another account, so technically haven't purchased anything on the inactive account. Have applied will see if receive the $20

      It's still there i just tried. I clicked the link in a incognito window and it opened up with the box there to put the email address in. Try on your phone maybe. Or close for a while then try again.

      • netsurfer on 08/03/2018 - 15:23

        Thanks OP. I suggest you make the equivalent of the above statement in your listing bold.

          Said something like We will send you out a voucher within 48 hours if you qualify.
          I almost missed the message as I was looking at something else, and then it loaded another ebay page on its own.

  • hasher22 on 08/03/2018 - 15:20

    It popped up for me again, I created a brand new hotmail, registered and got the "sorry you're not eligible".

    My theory: Somehow it will pick up your IP or any form of connection from that PC to eBay. Even in incognito mode, it will still detect you have used eBay before on that PC, no matter what browser you used.

    My guess, it only works with untouched PCs that haven't even logged in eBay with any username.

    I guess it blew my chances when I recently purchased something (my first and only purchase) and the seller refunded me 'cos they discovered they only had damaged stock left.
    Got an email from eBay today asking how my "purchase was" and a link to review it!

    How do I tell them that the purchase didn't really go through an that I'm therefore an inactive user?

    • Usemame on 08/03/2018 - 17:21

    Just to let everyone else know i didn't get the $20 voucher since i bought something a few days ago … but i did live chat earlier and told the lady that I didn't get the $10 voucher from the previous deal. She then offered to provide me a $15 voucher for not receiving the $10 voucher. Her name is Adele if anyone wanted to try their luck in getting the $10, $15 or maybe $20 code. I didn't ask for $20 since i bought something already.

    Account > Fees, credits and invoices

    Me: - Hello - just a query on the $20 voucher to spend on what you like - https:….. - I have filled out form multiple times - but get no email

    Them: Thank you for contacting eBay Australia Live Chat. My name is XXX. May I have your full name please?

    Me: Quick question . Each time I visit your site, it states I could be eligible for a $20 voucher. I complete the email. It tells me to check email, but no email has ever arrived.

    Them: We do apologise for the inconvenience. We received same reports from other members regarding this. No worries, I will process the voucher here for you.

    Them: Thank you for waiting. I already have the voucher for you. Here's the code: XXX

    • stickyfingers on 14/03/2018 - 18:23

      Tried exactly what you did today. Was told he processed it and I’d receive one via email in 48 - 72 hours.

  • 45rpm on 15/03/2018 - 20:52

    eBay is trying to reduce the redemption rate by releasing the vouchers as close to 31/3 as they can, if at all. That's in direct conflict with their T&C, which clearing states:

    "5. To participate in this offer, enter your email address where indicated at https://welcome.ebay.com.au/whyebay during the Offer Period to receive a voucher from eBay by email. eBay will email the voucher to the email address provided by you within 48 hours of your submission."

    Here's what I got from live chat:

    03:34:21 UTC Mukesh
    Let me pull up your details here first.
    03:36:37 UTC Mukesh
    I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't receive your voucher. Here's the thing, I will send your details to our management and they will update you within a few days.
    03:38:36 UTC me
    I believe it was meant to be sent out within 48hrs of submission
    03:38:40 UTC me
    It's been 2 weeks. I can't help but think this is a case of false advertisement. The T&Cs clearly indicate that the voucher would be sent out with 2 days. Do you agree that the T&C is in direct conflict with reality?
    03:39:15 UTC Mukesh
    I do apologise for the inconvenience. The redemption rate so far has been too high.
    03:39:24 UTC me
    That's preposterous. This must have been a business decision to offer the promotion. If the redemption rate was too high for your liking, then retract the offer and stop luring customers in!
    03:39:29 UTC me
    I call this false advertising.
    03:39:41 UTC Mukesh
    Hopefully you'll receive the voucher soon.
    03:39:48 UTC me
    Consciously breaching your own T&Cs can't be right.
    03:39:59 UTC Mukesh
    I do apologise for the inconvenience.

      I've reported this to the ACCC. Sick of eBay

    • Meije on 07/04/2018 - 12:06

      Had the same argument but still unable to get a voucher. Was told a bunch of excuses from missing date of birth to "winners are selected at random" which aren't align with what they claim at all. Getting my case "escalated" is leading nowhere either. Reached out to the ACCC as well for complaint.

      • perthhunter on 11/04/2018 - 16:54

        yes - very sneaky. If you don't put date of birth in your account, eBay disqualifies you as they require you to be over 18 years old. This is not mentioned when I followed up in live chat.

        • perthhunter on 11/04/2018 - 22:06

          Apparently you have to use live chat for ebay to enter date of birth. So this disqualified many people.

        • Meije on 15/04/2018 - 19:21

          @perthhunter: Even going through this and having my dob updated through LiveChat, I was told to re-submit my email and that I would get the voucher. Never did. I suspect it's BS and they use this as it vaguely aligns with the 18 years old policy but it seems even with the date of birth it wasn't possible to get my voucher…

  • shadowangel on 29/03/2018 - 08:55

    Finally got mine and it would not let me use it using my computer, tryied everything.

    I ended up trying the mobile app and it worked first go.
