Sign up by Christmas Day to receive a 90-day free trial (normally 30 days).

Reports indicate that you can still sign up for this free 90-day trial even if you have completed a 30-day trial previously.

If you sign up using PayPal you may immediately cancel your payment contract here if you wish to avoid being charged in future.

It’s highly probable another joining promotion is in the works that may be stackable with this one if you can wait a bit longer before signing up.

Christmas 2018 promotion – Free 90-day trial

The terms in this section 10 apply if you sign up for a free trial of eBay Plus between 9 November 2018 and 25 December 2018 (“90-day trial Offer Period”).

By signing up for a free trial of eBay Plus during the 90-day trial Offer Period then you agree to be subject to these eBay Plus Terms and Conditions as amended as follows:

All references to “30-day trial” are replaced with the words “90-day trial” throughout, excluding the second sentence of section 3.2 which is replaced with the following:

If you cancel during the first 30 days of the 90-day trial period you will continue to receive all eBay Plus benefits until 30 days after the date the date you originally joined. If you cancel after the first 30 days of the 90-day trial period you will immediately cease receiving eBay Plus benefits. Once your eBay Plus benefits cease your eBay Plus membership will end.

All other terms in these eBay Plus terms and conditions remain unchanged and applicable.

      I would rather they offered a service that was compelling value for $49 as opposed to something that's free but of little to no use.

      I quit my 30 day free trial on Wednesday and this still worked.

      This could only mean that ebay is absolutely desperate. Happy to be corrected though. :-)

    • PorkHunt on 10/11/2018 - 12:17

      I have a current free trial till the end of November, is there a way to get onto this deal? Or do I have to wait till my current trial ends?

    Can someone confirm that this still works if you've previously used the 30 day free trial? I don't want to be charged for $49! Particularly as Ebay plus hasn't provided anything really of note yet….

      Worked for me as well! Can't believe it. Haha don't think I will pay for it if it's not free…eBay plus membership is not like Amazon where they give you express shipping at least.

      BTW, it can be cancelled straightaway to avoid $49 after and you will still have the membership till the end of trial.

    • nullAndVoid on 10/11/2018 - 09:51

            @Frogprince7: Log into each acct then on menu go to My Ebay Summary page.
            In the page there are sections for watched, purchases, etc.
            The vouchers for that acct are shown there in a separate section.
            You should still be able to see the free $20 gift notification (with the status expired) in that section.

    • Kegsta on 10/11/2018 - 15:17

  • hexapling on 10/11/2018 - 08:59

    New to eBay plus but been selling a lot on eBay. How does this benefit for us sellers or is it just for buying stuff? I'm just a layperson selling stuff that I don't need from my house by the way.

    • doweyy on 10/11/2018 - 09:04
      +1

      Doesn't particularly help small sellers too much, it did at the start but ebay did a quick fix of that. It's more a buyer help with their free returns policy on eBay plus listings and for big sellers who get shipping cost reimbursement.

      • hexapling on 10/11/2018 - 09:13

        Thanks!

      • techboy on 10/11/2018 - 10:57

        "and for big sellers who get shipping cost reimbursement."

    • readeral on 10/11/2018 - 14:43

      It's a detriment for small sellers, because you can't compete with the free shipping. Well, I can't.

      • Sharp on 25/12/2018 - 10:38

        Include it in the price and take advantage of 10-15% ebay wide sales. Buyers don't buy from sellers charging shipping seperately. Well, I don't.

    Got accepted for the free trial (even though I used a free trial back when it started). Immediately cancelled the membership so I wouldn't be charged and now I have Ebay Plus for free until February.

    • Rob123 on 10/11/2018 - 12:22

    Im 3 days in to my 30 day trial. I missed all offers when I signed up!!!

    I just attempted to cancel so I could take advantage of the 90 day trial instead however my account stills shows its active untill end of trial (27 days). So I cant seem to take advantage of any 90 day offer.

      Have a go after your trial ends with this.

  • Unacceptable on 10/11/2018 - 09:16

    It’s nearly the end of free trial of 30 days. What benefit did I get? Nothing.

    • doweyy on 10/11/2018 - 09:21

      What benefit did I get? Nothing.

      You joined at the complete wrong time. You should've joined when they had 15% off for plus members or the awesome flash sales in September.

  • Ameowzon on 10/11/2018 - 09:21

    BE WARNED!

    I already had eBay Plus, started on 26 July 2018, and is valid until 26 July 2019.

    On 22 October 2018, I received a PayPal receipt in my inbox saying I made payment to eBay Plus annual membership fee for $48.99. I disputed it in PayPal, and won, will be receiving the full refund of $48.99.

    Weird how big companies like these can make such mistakes, when everything should be automated!

    • grasstown on 10/11/2018 - 09:40

      They charged you twice?

      • Ameowzon on 10/11/2018 - 09:43

        Yes, 4 months after I sign up.

    • iMagoo on 10/11/2018 - 09:43

      Have you seen how poor eBay's website is across different platforms?

      The other day I had a click and collect order at Supercheap through eBay. The delivery address was:

      Person X
      Address Y
      Phone Z

      Both Person X and Phone Z were overwritten in the details sent to Supercheap to the name and number of the account holder. He's never lived at Address Y and never used that address! Big company != good tech

      • dm01 on 10/11/2018 - 10:25
        +1

        Did you pay with PayPal?

        • iMagoo on 10/11/2018 - 11:05

          Yeah paid with PayPal, with the account owner and PayPal delivery address being Person X of Address Y with Phone Z. Their systems are garbage.

          • dm01 on 10/11/2018 - 11:35
            +1

            @iMagoo: How do you know it's not PayPal or Supercheap's own system contributing to the error? PayPal stores its own address details for users, and I've known them to be substituted into orders I've made in the past, and who knows what sort of database or CRM system Supercheap might be using and how it processes information it receives.

            • iMagoo on 10/11/2018 - 15:00

              @dm01: Process of elimination. Person X was the only person affiliated with the PayPal account used. It was the first click and collect made at Supercheap from that eBay account.

              It's definitely eBay at fault.

              • dm01 on 10/11/2018 - 16:25

                @iMagoo: Then you might need to rethink your nomenclature in the example you've given as it's not really clear (to me at least) quite what you're saying.

                I'd suggest person X has address X and phone number X, while person Y has address Y and phone number Y.

                Are you person X? And you're not the eBay account holder?

    • Diji1 on 10/11/2018 - 15:42

    • micbrc on 25/12/2018 - 06:20

      I signed up for eBay plus when they ran their half price promotion I was then charged half price for a month and the full annual membership every single month even after calling up and asking them to fix it.

      I blocked my PayPal from allowing it in the end and they refunded me six months later.

      It's a horrific product and worse support I had no benifits worth noting at all

  • Olin on 10/11/2018 - 09:30

    There isn't that much great about it anyways. Ive had it since the start the only benefit I can see is double flybys, which is actually the standard amount we used to get with Ebay. No way I would pay for this subscription again!!!

    • waterbottled on 10/11/2018 - 11:40

      Wow, cutting the amount of points you used to get for free and then charging you for the original is so pathetic.

    • raymosaurus on 25/12/2018 - 10:50

      I signed up to save $14.95 postage on a phone. Better cancel it now, after reading about these billing errors.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2018 - 09:50

    For those who have trial before, be careful, it will automatically charge a whole year fee, though clicking through the trial sign up page.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2018 - 10:10

        They added one year subscription to my account and PayPal automatical payment to eBay was active.

        • Baldy-95 on 10/11/2018 - 12:07

          I tried signing up for the 90 days trial and now I have membership till the 10th of November 2019. I cancelled my automatic payments in Paypal and don't see that anything has gone through. Have I won?

          Don't worry they cancelled me haha. I am glad the $49 didn't go through though.

  • nicrankin on 10/11/2018 - 10:05

    Also worked for me. I signed up for the free trial when it first launched but didn't have the $29 so it dropped out at the time.

    Ebay plus is a joke, no real benefit. Ffs I could return for free with PayPal anyway. And actually make the rest of non eBay plus items more expensive.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/11/2018 - 19:10

      Free postage is a benefit on many items. I signed up for the trial a few months ago and forgot to cancel but it more than paid for itself in my first purchase - 10% off for Plus members on an already discounted phone. Have since had a $30 Ebay voucher and 3 months free Stan. I expect more special deals over the next 9 months, if not no point in renewing because I'm not a regular Ebay buyer who needs the free postage.

    • Major Mess on 11/11/2018 - 23:00

      3 months of Stan for Christmas has helped. Also the return process is so much better under plus. But yeah time will tell.
      Edit I have also picked up an extra discount by selecting products that only offer free delivery for Plus.eg WD SSD's were $5 cheaper form Futu for the non general free delivery.

  • BargainKen on 10/11/2018 - 11:24

    The problem with relying on free trials only is you may miss out on some of the good deals that come along and your trial already expired. I can name 2 that nabbed me over $300 in actual savings over the typical ebay savings, so its payed itself off.

    That being said, you dont get much else like Amazon which have the streaming service and free shipping on everything. It'd be good if eBay offered a few more ongoing site-wide incentives rather than just select sellers and random one-time offers.

          Free delivery and free returns on Plus items
          Double flybuys points
          Exclusive deals
          "Premium customer service"           (lol)

          Read my post above. They have incentivised membership previously (Google home mini, Ebay coupon) so I wouldn't be paying without one of those freebie offerings. Trial is free so as others have said sign up and cancel.
