    So does this need to be used on ebay plus items only or can it be used on anything on ebay, ive got $170 worth of stuff in my cart and when I enter the code it says "Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again". Ive never used ebay plus and signed up this morning for the free trial.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/01/2019 - 10:12

      It does say site-wide in the T&C's, but I'm getting the same error as you. Code should have started 12:00 AM (AEDT) on 17 January 2019 but doesn't look like it has.

      EDIT: Looks like for new signups they will activate the code within 48 hours, maybe to prevent you from cancelling as soon as you make a purchase.

    • skido on 17/01/2019 - 10:13

      Fulfilment. The 15% off sitewide coupon will be sent via email and/or eBay Message Centre within 48 hours of signing up for a free 30-day trial of eBay Plus during the Offer Period.

      It is definitely a site wide coupon, however, it seems that new members might need to wait for their email/message before being able to use the code.

  • StuckInTheMiddle on 17/01/2019 - 10:09

    So looking through the T&C, it states
    A maximum of 1 transaction applies. Multiple items may be purchased in one transaction (up to a maximum of 10 items per transaction

    Does anyone know if a transaction spans multiple sellers??

    • team teri on 17/01/2019 - 10:12

      No problem, as long as you have at most 10 items in your cart they can all be from different sellers. Oh note: they have to be in the same currency to be able to check them out together.

    I understand that every company will offer exclusive deals to new customers in order to entice greater numbers, but this is getting ridiculous. The whole purpose of having eBay Plus is for the shipping savings and exclusive deals, but you often only save a few dollars on the “free shipping” since retailers charge more for the item, and I haven’t received a special deal since sign up.

    This isn’t a service provider like a Telco where new customers get special offers but at least the existing customers receive a standard service. With eBay Plus, it seems that the new customers get special offers whilst the existing ones receive effectively nothing.

    A complete waste of money that’s bordering on a scam. Stupid move by eBay, with Amazon looking to cement itself in the next few years. I imagine that eBay Plus was designed to compete with Prime or obtain more competitive pricing on their own platform, but in reality the only thing it’s doing is pushing us away. Good job, fleabay.

      Yep, when it comes time to renew eBay Plus in June I will be cancelling in favour of Prime. The only thing i've received to make Plus worthwhile were those cheap micro sd's right at the start.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/01/2019 - 11:28

        I'm in tow minds. I did have some crappy customer service at the start , then lately it's been really good (I bought some 2nd hand switch, the seller didn't include a power cord and they said bad luck, then I noticed it had rust & dents not mentioned on the listing, the seller refused to discuss the issue, ebay stepped in organised free return postage, then made the seller refund, the seller then cancelled the refund before I got it, so ebay stepped in again and sorted it out with Paypal and also give me a $10 coupon).

        It's been probably worth the $30/yr we paid, but not $60.
        Amazon OTOH is totally worth it. I love being able to send people random things to say thank you (someone a few desks away is getting a $1.50 box of BBQ shape tomorrow :-)

    Poor once again, got in at $29 deal but little to show for it. Since then new users got a Google mini for a $49 plan which effectively made the plan free, now new users get 15% off up to $150 meaning a saving of $100 if you max the coupon out. Seems original supporters got the rawest deal.

    • fishball on 17/01/2019 - 10:30

      I saved a fair bit originally when they had 25% off specific sellers w/ eBay plus. Haven't had anything good since though.

    • pyramid on 17/01/2019 - 11:55

      I m in same boat. Go online and chat with ebay and complain. More complain and they may do something.
      They first offered me free google home mini and now they offered me $70 voucher so that i can buy google home mini by myself….Its worth giving a try..

    • lostn on 17/01/2019 - 15:39

      If you're going to max out the coupon, still worth signing up for a new account to get your $100 overall discount.

        From the plus terms “There is a maximum of one free 30-day trial of eBay Plus per eBay member. You may not use or create another eBay account in order to take advantage of the free 30-day trial more than once.”

        I’m sure it’s been done but I’m sure they could also “eBay reserves the right to terminate your eBay Plus membership at any time in its discretion, without notice to you, and without refunding your membership fees - for example, if eBay considers that you are misusing the eBay Plus service.”

        • FireRunner on 17/01/2019 - 14:26

          Dang I missed that. It seemed to have worked in activating the Plus but no code yet. Let’s see how it goes

    If 15% off feeBay is very important to you, rather than spending time complaining how unfair this is to existing feeBay Plus members, create a new account and wait 48 hours for the voucher code. Then, cancel the account. The fact they need extra goodies constantly to entice people to join feeBay Plus already shows that feeBay Plus isn't that good for most people.

    It's hard to imagine a lot of people purchase essential items from feeBay, and given that it if feeBay, the real discount after the typical 10% fee (which is embedded in the item price) is around 5%. It's not a huge problem.

    • giventofly on 17/01/2019 - 10:53

      What happens if you need to return the item in 9 months time for warranty purposes? Would it not be better to keep it open for 12 months?

      • netsurfer on 17/01/2019 - 11:31
        +1

        What items are you referring to? Most electronic items, unless you purchase from big sellers (Officeworks, BigW, Good Guys), you will most likely need to arrange RMA with the actual manufacturers.

        Also, realistically, a lot of these bigger sellers offer return postage for non-eBay Plus members. I did return an item to a reasonably big seller and the seller arranged return postage (that was before eBay Plus was available). Furthermore, nowadays, even for casual sellers, when a dispute is raised, the eBay workflow actually expects sellers to provide return postage (even if the listings clearly states buyers need to pay for return postage).

        Let's be realistic here. The return benefit is: free returns on Plus items. Are most of us REALLY going to use this 15% off on feeBay Plus items only? The attractive part of this 15% off is "sitewide".

        • giventofly on 17/01/2019 - 12:00

          You're right. I assumed that when the account was cancelled, it's cancelled immediately.

          I just cancelled mine and it's valid till the end.

          • odysseus on 17/01/2019 - 13:10

            @giventofly: Yes - but if you cancelled during the trial it would only be open during the trial, i.e. 30 days. In 9 months time you would be a non-Plus member again.

      • Whisper Quiet on 17/01/2019 - 12:45

        This is a free 30 day trial. If you want to stay on any longer you have to pay $50 fee for the whole year. You can still return or get warranty from a product without eBay plus! It's your right as a consumer.

    Great deal for new signups, but it’s frustrating it doesn’t apply to existing members! I haven’t received an offer in months. All items I have purchased are available from other sellers with free postage / combined price that nears that of eBay plus sellers.

    Remember when eBay sitewide deals got 1000’s of upvotes…. the minimum spend was reasonable, the exclusions were minimal oh and Officeworks & Target weren’t excluded entirely. There were no subscriptions, you could buy parts for your car and I’m pretty sure there was more joy in the world.

      Yeah, I am guessing this targeted offer is just to get more people to sign up to feeBay Plus, even if it just for 30 days. The fact that you cannot cancel it right away (need to wait 48 hours - otherwise no voucher) could potentially lead to some people forgot to cancel it in time.

    What I wish eBay Plus would have been:

    • Free delivery on most items (I understand bulky items not being included), but it shouldn't have to be an eBay Plus item to qualify.
    • Monthly 'Lightning Deal' or equivalent. A popular item that is discounted or even a regular code with no minimum spend.
    • Free to sell a few items per month
    • Discounted Express Delivery or Free even? Too much to ask?

    Is it just me or are they being incredibly stingy? What ever happened to the saying, "You have to spend money to make money" - surely the money they 'invest' in their eBay Plus program will be insatiable to bargain hunters and folks will sign-up in their droves?

    With Amazon Prime, for a reasonable yearly fee, I get their video subscription service (maybe music and audiobooks?) but I also get probably the best customer service on the planet. If the Aussie store had the catalog the US enjoys, it would be a complete no-brainer for everyone.

    WTF does eBay have to offer to even remotely compete? A crappy 10% discount with a minimum spend?

        Excep they have had many new plus member only promotions. And it isnt a freaking gift, we payed them our hard earned money and they have given us basically no benefits excluding the launch sale. Most items on ebay dont even have plus shipping, its a joke.
