    Worst subscription service and offering that there has ever been.

    I buy all my stuff on Amazon with Prime now anyway. Best thing ebay did was encourage me to use Prime. Massive backfire on ebays part.

  • tanastra on 08/02/2019 - 21:39

    Amazon Prime is far better than Ebay Plus.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2019 - 21:49
    +8

    Amazon Prime is worth it. I get free delivery, even on things that are less than $1, they deliver on the weekend, i get Twitch prime games every month, Kindle books, Prime video and Music. The service is simply worth it.

    I'm not expecting that level of service but eBay Plus as a Premium service has given me literally nothing as a buyer and seller, it's a waste of money. Rather that just whinge about it i will offer suggestions. I still don't get why there are still targeted coupons even as a Plus subscriber it's a insult and a slap in the face, i expect all coupons and deals to be available to me. Make the eBay Valet service better with a better percentage on items sold or reduce the seller fee percentage in general. eBay always screws the seller, how about do something for them for once?

    Negging deal and thanks for the reminder OP, i just canceled my subscription.

    Here's a tip eBay: either charge more for a service you'll actually provide (like Amazon Prime which is great) or don't provide one at all.
    It was a good idea, started off well but fell flat on its face quickly.

  • montorola on 08/02/2019 - 21:54

    Lol this is going to backfire. Ebay will notice the sudden influx of people cancelling their existing plus memberships in disgust.

      If you're a seller that gets granted a plus listing, you may get more sales on that if buyers now find it cheaper than the competition/it would otherwise be.

      It is targeted yes. Confirmed with eBay, it is only available to a small selection of customers. The rep basically told me to go get f**ked and be happy they even accept me as a customer at all. The last bit is made up, but they wouldn't budge on getting the 180 day trial.

  • nickolanda on 08/02/2019 - 22:04

    Biggest problem I have with eBay plus is that sellers can pick which items are ebay plus and which are not. There are many sellers that have free postage on ebay plus items but then all their items with paid postage are not ebay plus items.

    • pharcyde on 08/02/2019 - 22:15
      +1

      Literally just encountered that. Two items I want from a seller. One is eBay plus (free post), the other isn't. What's the bloody point?

    • justtoreply on 08/02/2019 - 23:05
      +3

      Wrong. Sellers don't pick. Ebay picks using some unknown automated process. It's ludicrous

      • nickolanda on 09/02/2019 - 00:22

        Yeah right, so the majority of items that ebay pick already have free shipping and free returns. Makes you wonder what the point of ebay plus is if normal ebay users get the same benefits anyway.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2019 - 22:12

    Do not do it. Even at free it's helping them artificially inflate how many premium subscribers they have. As a subscriber i really struggle to see the on going value.

    Also the 'premium' customer service is absolute rubbish.

  • Punkboy on 08/02/2019 - 22:24

    Absolutely useless program. Trying to compete with Amazon without offering anything tangible…
    Can't support this.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2019 - 22:27

    Paid 50% off for first year ($29), have had 3 sellers fail to deliver on time ($10 credit each) so made $1…. but got 3 failed delivery dates, so yeah, probably not a great trade

  • gstfree on 08/02/2019 - 22:31

  • guvna on 08/02/2019 - 23:05

    It's not an exaggeration that plus is basically useless. Have had it for like 5 months and the only benefit I've gotten was one small delivery fee waved. Shame really.

  • antler on 08/02/2019 - 23:16

    A complete waste of time and money. A lot of sellers ship for free. eBay is now also full of idiots dropshipping from China while saying that the product is in the country.

    Amazon Prime is the real bargain. Great customer service and great value for money.

  • NonSense on 08/02/2019 - 23:36

    So basically it is free because it provide nothing?

    • odysseus on 09/02/2019 - 00:02

      Pretty much. Has few benefits, so has few people signing up (and now more cancellations) so they're trying to give away more benefits/longer to boost uptake.

      Other programs like Amazon and shipster have also offered similar cheaper/free subscriptions to get members.

  • PurchaseAnxiety on 08/02/2019 - 23:43

    Shipster is a better deal than plus. Prime and plus aren't even in the same league.

    Really makes you wander what eBay are doing…

  • cloudie9 on 08/02/2019 - 23:51

    Used to be good when it was first launched, especially when they did very special pricing for GoPro Hero 5 and Dyson vacs. Since then, never seen any good incentives to stay on. Not going to renew my subscription later this year. Staying with Amazon Prime, top notch shipping service, good bonuses (Prime Video, and etc).

    • Click_It on 09/02/2019 - 08:47

      Likewise, just upgraded to 12 months prime. I've switched most of my activity over to Amazon now. Much better value to me personally. Not perfect but better.

  • Darkhour on 08/02/2019 - 23:56

    Last time I checked this is still a deal on the normal pricing so all negs should be removed.. i.e. i think all apple phones are crap and not worth the money so im downvoting the deal because of it..

      +1

      I didn't neg you (and everyone knows how Anti-Apple I am now but that's a different point) but I'm curious as to what makes you think this is worth $49/year?

      At least with Apple it's a rip off, but you get something for your money.

  • 8GB RAM on 09/02/2019 - 00:30

    Waste of time.

  • iDroid on 09/02/2019 - 00:35

  • quantumlock on 09/02/2019 - 00:36

    I paid the early bird price for the first year as eBay Plus was introduced. I have certainly not received my moneys worth. eBay Plus is absolutely not worth it, not even for free - don't waste your new accounts on eBay Plus, not worth it, keep them for better deals in the future - I noticed from some comments that creating too many accounts (specifically 17) renders them all suspended permanently. Members did not receive many exclusive deals, the deals that were for members were not even that good. I expected members to get better deals than non-members, but that was not always the case. Sure eBay Plus was worth it at the beginning when sellers decided to transfer part of the product price into the delivery cost which eBay covered, however, eBay caught on and made sure those cheap deals were a thing of the past. The flash deals (cheap gopros, dyson vacuums, switch consoles) at eBay Plus launch was also one of the few good things to come out of an otherwise garbage promotion. Amazon Prime is infinitely better than eBay Plus and by the looks of things, will always be so. The fact that eBay is doing these kind of promotions suggests that their members are reducing at a significantly faster pace than they anticipated and this is just damage control.

  • bunk on 09/02/2019 - 00:44

    Needed to comment so that I can neg this…. hardly neg any deals but ebay plus sucks!

  • micbrc on 09/02/2019 - 08:34

    Not worth it the pricejacking is just insanity I was a member for quite a while I found I was not actually using it because for every 20% off sale that was exclusive to plus members sellers would jack up their prices by 20 percent I found that just going to Amazon and using cashback rewards saved me so much more over time.

    I built a new PC recently a majority of my parts ended up being from Amazon despite having eBay plus I got a Intel 8700k cheapest on eBay was 590 including a 20 percent discount but Amazon was 380 with cashback rewards.

  • 7hil on 09/02/2019 - 08:42

    I’ve just cancelled. Giving bigger discounts to new members rather than current members did it for me. Totally removes any incentive to stay signed up. It’s just common sense. Give the biggest discounts to all eBay plus members. Surely that’s supposed to be the whole point or why even join eBay plus.

  • Click_It on 09/02/2019 - 08:44

    I cancelled ebay plus when they ran ebay plus deals only for newer plus members. Already penalising earlier subscribers. What a failed business strategy that is.

      Pretty much this seriously. The reason people are upvoting is because it's free and this just proves you should need a comment to upvote a deal as well. Tell us why its so good because as a seller and a buyer eBay Plus it is a waste of money and doesn't do anything outside a miniscule amount of Flybuys points.

    • headphonejack on 09/02/2019 - 12:21

      Ironically you negged without explaining why it’s a bad deal.

      As a buyer my membership has paid for itself in costs I have saved on shipping alone, not to mention double flybuys and other vouchers/promos. I have also found it advantageous as a seller whose listings qualify for eBay Plus.

      So yes, if you’re targeted for this offer, it’s a good deal imo. Not sure why people have to whinge so much just because a deal doesn’t suit them personally.

    I am not impressed and will be voicing the same to them. I signed for their free one month offer just three weeks ago, and now they are doing a 6 month deal - I signed for that, in the misguided thought that I would get better care and attention. I bought a 3d Printer over ebay 22 days ago - it got lost by australia post - I have had to do all of the leg work dealing with the vendor and auspost - ebay's specisl team were useless - yesterday, I finally got confirmation from the vendor that they will be shipping a replacement.

    Works well for things that you are unsure it’ll fit. I bought a foam cannon for my pressure washer, it didn’t fit my pressure washer and eBay made the return process very easy for me.

    To be fair, same item from a different seller which wasn’t eBay plus was couple dollars cheaper.

    Judging by all the comments on here, I'm one of the three OzBargain members who a) seems to understand the benefits that eBay Plus membership offers, and based on that, b) benefited from it.

    If you're a regular spender on eBay, the double flybuys points alone could make it worth signing up for - I've already made back over three times what I paid for my membership, and I've still got over four months until it's up for renewal. I've scored free shipping on a bunch of items that would otherwise not have been, and haven't had to use the returns feature yet.

    If you regularly buy on eBay, and have this 180 day Plus offer available to you, have a read through what's on offer and the T&Cs, and make up your own mind about signing up - ignore all the "me too" neggers here, as a lot of them don't have a clue judging by their comments.
