    What goes does ebay plus do?

      Nothing, thats the problem

      It was worth it when I first joined. Stores were discounting their stuff by $20 and making Ebay cover it. Saved about $100 on $29.

      These days, it does absolutely nothing. Ebay appears to maybe pay for postage but no one seems to know for sure. Those who are Ebay Plus offer free postage normally anyhow.

      I don't get any vouchers, specia sales or anything of worth and wont be renewing.

    No 180 day free trial here, I am however being offered a 30 day free trial.. even though I'm already a member.. go figure.

    Also love their current promotion "10% off* for Plus Members when you Pick-Up in Store. Use Code PLUSPICKUP." - even though one of the "perks" of ebay Plus is "Free Delivery".

    Who the hell actually comes up with this shit?

    Is it a deal, Yes because usually you would pay for eBay plus. But is the deal good, absolutely not, because eBay Plus doesn't do anything.

    I hate to use my first OzB neg, but ebay staff need to know how much they're burning their community. I've spent $15k during a reno on ebay in the last year, and pretty sure I've had zero value from my Day 1 subscription to Plus. Losing a cash rewards rebate was the final straw too. Good concept, badly executed.

            @Quantumcat: Sorry, for change of mind the return postage is free for eBay Plus items.

            https://pages.ebay.com.au/returns/#faq3
            Who pays for return postage?
            Many sellers offer free returns if you changed your mind about an item, but sometimes you'll have to pay return postage. Check the seller's return policy in the listing.

            Sellers are responsible for return postage if the item doesn't match the listing description, or arrived damaged or faulty. For more information, see our eBay Money Back Guarantee policy.

                @Quantumcat: My item was defective, I think it's bad form to return for change of mind, but if seller wants to argue about it, it's good to know with ebay plus you can just return it defective or not.

    Agree with the neggers. This is absolutely not a deal. Especially when a bargain to be had might have its price jacked.

    • lostn on 08/02/2019 - 21:05

      The deal is you get free shipping on a small number of items. And it doesn't cost you anything for that privilege whether you end up buying any or not.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2019 - 20:20

    One thing eBay Plus is useful for is free shipping from Firstchoice and Dans. As they have normal shop prices on Ebay, this one thing will pay part of the annual fee.

    Haven't found another use yet.

    All eBay Plus orders are covered by eBay Money Back Guarantee*.

    Also, I got an instant refund as an item was past delivery date (Handy). I did get the item the following day but it was broken so didn't tell seller.

      Many items are not in discount or ebay plus/ ebay plus was not the cheapest even after 10% discount;
