        Hello Senhan,

        Good day! I hope you're well.

        As promised below are the voucher details:

        Redemption Code: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

        Expires 29/01/21

        Amount: AU$50

        Good luck on your future transactions and thank you for choosing eBay!

        Kind regards,

    Except they conveniently don't send the gift card. When you enquire they say 'just wait another xxx days'. Then when you enquire after that they only give you a voucher for $50 that expires in 3 months.

    • ESEMCE on 28/01/2020 - 14:33

      I got mine ~5 days from a signup in December.. Expires in 3 Years per Australian Law

      I'm also getting the $5/month eBay Plus codes.

      • PullString on 28/01/2020 - 15:05

        I found out this morning that the $5/month eBay Plus codes are only valid on Plus purchases >$50

          +1

          Yeah, terrible deal if that's all you're signing up to Plus for, but an unexpected bonus after getting the eBay Gift Card as well.

          I've barely bought anything eBay Plus in my 3-4 months, but I'll easily spend the $50 Gift Card (valid for anything on eBay, not just Plus) in 3 years!

          • JediJan on 02/02/2020 - 18:56

            @ESEMCE: I have not bought anything yet myself, but it has not cost me anything.

      That's exactly what they did to me….

      Got offered a voucher instead of gift card 2 months after signing up for the deal.

      On top of the 3 month expiry, you can't combine these vouchers with any 20% eBay codes they have from time to time.

      • sub102 on 28/01/2020 - 15:23

        I just rejected the offer of a voucher and insisted I want my gift card. Still waiting though

    • matt wu on 02/02/2020 - 16:46

      Me the same, got a voucher instead of a gift card after two calls, except that my voucher expire in one month.

      • wfdTamar on 02/02/2020 - 17:01

        The operator makes up the expiry date. First I got the $50 with 3 months expiry. Wasted it on a $3.60 item not realising it was a one shot deal. So rang and explained. That operator gave me another for the balance of $50 with an end of year expiry!

        • jjj123 on 12/02/2020 - 13:15

          do we need to use $50 voucher in one transaction? Can I split $20 now, $30 next month?

          • wfdTamar on 12/02/2020 - 13:18

            @jjj123: Voucher has to be used in one transaction. You can add multiple items to the cart in that transaction. Gift card can be multiple.

    you cant use the gift card with other coupon codes tho

    • Buy2Much on 28/01/2020 - 14:35

      I would use the voucher to buy item that does not get any discount code (auctions, private sellers, used, etc).

      • asa79 on 28/01/2020 - 14:36

        ebay plus doesnt cover postage from most of those

        • Buy2Much on 28/01/2020 - 14:39

          True but it's the net price I am interested in. I would probably buy from them any way for items that I need (e.g. a used camera lens from a private seller), the voucher would be icing on the cake for me.

  • asa79 on 28/01/2020 - 14:32

    Is the ebay membership just going up and up in price

  • KARMAAA on 28/01/2020 - 14:33

    FeeBay are so lame these days. eBay Plus is basically worthless, they never send out their gift cards and their "special codes" for deals are always a bunch of items that have been marked up by sellers days prior.

    Paid $49 get one year eBay plus but get $10 voucher and $50 gift card and $5/month code.

    So yeah thanks eBay I'll support you till I die…

    • asa79 on 28/01/2020 - 14:37

      was it a gift card like the eftpos type?

      • Buy2Much on 28/01/2020 - 14:41

        No. Just an EBay discount code.

  • rickb on 28/01/2020 - 14:43

    Coincidentally, today I cancelled my subscription (expires 9/2) after receiving an email from eBay that marketed the benefits of eBay Plus. They offered me a $30 digital card to encourage my ongoing commitment. After some umming and arring I proceeded with the cancellation. These things just encourage me to spend more.

    I've pretty much buy more stuff from amazon now. Better service, better value for money (You get prime video, music, books and deliveries)

    • Buy2Much on 28/01/2020 - 15:29

      IMHO They are complementary. I'd choose the best deals from either site for new items. Amazon have the added benefits of Prime Videos, Music and photos storage. Ebay have used items and auctions.

    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 28/01/2020 - 16:51
      +2

      Same! Prime has been excellent value for me. I've easily saved so much in free delivery alone. In stock with Amazon warehouse delivery is SO quick. Even to non-metro areas. Can't believe it could potentially be even quicker when they take over all deliveries themselves.

      I only jump on eBay when I'm looking for a cheap used\rare item, and Plus offers absolutely no benefits there.

    With the free shipping gone on most plus listings it's not worth it anymore.

    • Buy2Much on 28/01/2020 - 15:34

      We have to thank the stores that repeatedly took advantage of free EBay Plus shipping, selling items a fraction of their usual prices for that. E.g. The $5 Samsung SD card that cost $0 shipping with EBay Plus, $15 without. ;-)

    I signed up to this deal in December and received my digital gift card. Took about 5 days to get it via email.

    • jinxsphinx on 29/01/2020 - 11:57

      How long do you get to use the voucher? It doesn't say it in the Ts and Cs.

      • Buy2Much on 29/01/2020 - 12:22

        Don't know whether it is intentional, but many of their T&Cs points are vague, like this:
        9. The eBay voucher must be redeemed by the date specified in the email in which it is sent to you, after which time the voucher expires and will no longer be valid.

        • JediJan on 02/02/2020 - 18:53

          That doesn't actually sound vague to me. Just check the expiry date mentioned on the email. Is the expiry date of the voucher specified in the email? If not then I would agree with you it is vague … or misleading.

          I am a member of ebay plus (one year free trial) but not used it so far, so I am not promoting them.

      • conan2000 on 02/02/2020 - 20:21

        Signed up in December as well, came within 5 days with a three year expiry stated clearly in the email.

  • Talix on 29/01/2020 - 11:11

    What is the validity period? I've got a cancelled trial period running until Feb 23rd. Hoping that this offer lasts longer…

    • Buy2Much on 29/01/2020 - 12:14

      Ebay is vague with the promo period like they have been with some of the site wide promo codes, according to the T&Cs in my link above:
      "The Offer will only be available for the period that it is advertised on ww.ebay.com.au (‘Promotion Period’)."

  • morebunnings on 29/01/2020 - 12:39

    When I click through, it says I only have to pay $29. Do you think I'd still get the voucher?

    [edit] by click through, I mean click the link in the targeted email I received.

    • Buy2Much on 29/01/2020 - 14:08
      +1

      My offer email specifically said "Join Plus and Score a $50 EBay Voucher". I think you may have a different offer if it does not mention anything about the voucher.

      • morebunnings on 29/01/2020 - 14:47
        +2

        The email definitely says 'Join Plus and Score a $50 EBay Voucher', when i click the link it goes to a payment page that only charges $29, and has no mention of the $50 voucher.

        • Buy2Much on 29/01/2020 - 15:58
          +1

          You might want to contact EBay. If you only need to pay $29 and get a $50 voucher, that's an even better deal!

    • Vieira4 on 29/01/2020 - 16:22

      I'm getting the same. Email says sign up for $49 and get $50 voucher. But when I click on it the page says pay $29 but no mention of voucher.

      • Buy2Much on 29/01/2020 - 16:55

        Mine says pay $49. You have a better deal there. Keep your email as proof to claim the $50 if it fails to come through.

        • Vieira4 on 29/01/2020 - 17:27

          I chatted with ebay support and she confirmed the $29 offer did not include the voucher. They will email me when they have more info on this issue. We'll see.

            @Vieira4: For a mega company and tons of developers behind it, Ebay seems to have a flaky system for managing vouchers and promotion codes properly, or is it intentional…

          • 1d0ntkn0w on 08/02/2020 - 11:27

            @Vieira4: That's unfortunate… I used a "join to get $50 ebay voucher" with the $29 first year membership deal. My case was extraordinary tho as they charged me 49 dollars instead of 29 so I messaged them to refund me the 20 dollars overcharged. They ended up refunding me the whole $49, giving me the $50 voucher and I had ebay plus for a year!

  • ENSLAVER on 02/02/2020 - 14:56

    Never got mine, had to contact them twice.

  • Tuba on 02/02/2020 - 16:48

    Dont know if its targeted or maybe its changed… I get to the offer just by clicking ebay plus at the top of an ebay page, scroll down one or two frames.

  • cerealJay on 02/02/2020 - 16:57
    +3

    Dunno why eBay plus (pay-to-buy) deals are pushed here so aggressively. If you have to pay an additional fee to get the deal, it's a garbage deal. Ebay plus only hurts and reduces the non-plus casual ebay promotions. It's almost like ebay has ozBargain under thumb, and using it as a vehicle to push its subscription product, and hope for perception of acceptance among general users. That concludes my reason for thumbs down.

    • Buy2Much on 03/02/2020 - 15:21

      If you have to pay for EBay Plus, you are doing it wrong :-p

  • jus0212 on 02/02/2020 - 17:19

    Another click bait from eBay. Yet they don't specifically tell you if you are eligible or not. I personally find it very annoying eBay constantly send out these ads to me via email but it doesn't seem that I am eligible to have any since I have had 1 month free trial very early on when there was no deal at all. Feels like they are trying hard to get attention and tricking people.

  • JediJan on 02/02/2020 - 18:47

    I have had "free" (one year trial) ebay plus for a month or two yet never seen anything I want to buy in that category. Just have to be careful to unsubscribe from it before next Xmas.

    • Tuba on 03/02/2020 - 12:15

      Pretty sure terms and condits say if you unsibscribe now it will continue to the end date and then will not renew, no need to remember.

      • Buy2Much on 03/02/2020 - 15:14

        Correct

    • Buy2Much on 03/02/2020 - 15:18

      I have saved several times over with the EBay Plus exclusive codes. Not that EBay Plus cost me because I made use of the $50 voucher on a non EBay Plus item from a private seller. May be it's just me, I am a shopaholic so it's not too hard for me to find something on EBay to spend on ;-)

    I have got a $50 ebay voucher instead of gift card :/ . But it does work on any product on ebay, not specific to ebay plus items. Got 1 year to use before it expires.

  • ezarc on 06/02/2020 - 13:06

    Can you cancel before the trial period and still get the $50 gift card/voucher?

    • Buy2Much on 06/02/2020 - 16:16

      yes, cannot see why not.

    • Kas on 09/02/2020 - 23:18

    My experience was quite worthwhile with a similar deal in the past, I combined this with the $29 ebay membership for first year deal so was supposed to profit $21. Ebay ended up charging me $49 dollars instead of $29 so I had a chat with them asking them to refund the 20 dollars they over charged me. In a couple weeks I received a refund for the WHOLE $49, got the $50 ebay voucher and had ebay plus for a year!

  • Gnilgorf on 19/02/2020 - 10:27

    So ugh… Here's an interesting twist

    I just got my $50 gift card. For when I signed up in November…

    But the thing is, when I didn't receive it back then. I called to complain, got a $50 voucher. Yes, I know, not the same thing as a GC but luckily I had an order which didn't have any applicable ebay promo codes.

    So now i'm technically up $51. Yay?!

    And yes, I tested the code on a dummy order. It works.

  • kyo252 on 22/02/2020 - 16:08

    It took them 3 months to send me the card, they said it was due to a technical issue.
    I was very frustrated at the start because I didnt receive the card, but in the end they sent me $150 to compensate the wating time.
    Guess it was worthwhile after all, extra $100 to spend.
