    Can I remove my ebay listings, list them on gumtree, then relist them on ebay thinking

      Yes

    Sweet, gold bullion isn't excluded

    " What is excluded?
    The promotion is only valid for Free Insertion and Final Value Fees on the first 5 listings that result in a Qualifying Sale per month during the Promotion Period. Final Value Fees are the selling fees charged on sale of an item, calculated as a percentage of your total sale price. Insertion Fees, depending on how many listings you have already created, as well as optional upgrade fees (such as reserve price, subtitle, etc.) may apply; learn more about seller fees, including the number of Free Insertion Fees per month by viewing our complete fee table."

    What? So its 2 or 5?

    • B-Man02 on 05/03/2020 - 12:07

      2 free gumtree listings
      Has to be within the first 5 items sold on your ebay account for that month.

  • Merlict on 05/03/2020 - 12:06

    I feel like the '10%' in the header is kinda confusing, I'd just say free final value fees.

  • MS Paint on 05/03/2020 - 12:08

    Technically only good for items that can be picked up incase the item is sold via Gumtree.

    We all know that Gumtree is only good for face to face meetings and cash.

    • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 12:12

      Why? You can just delete it off the other website when it sells on another….. pretty standard.

      Now they even encourage this behaviour.

      • Foma2 on 05/03/2020 - 13:14

        I've got a negative feedback recorded against my name exactly that way.
        I tried to fix it via ebay and they just did not care.

    • dm01 on 05/03/2020 - 14:14

      We all know that Gumtree is only good for face to face meetings and cash.

      Actually I've sold more on Gumtree to people wanting items posted than face to face. Yet to have an issue.

      • Geekomatic on 06/03/2020 - 11:47

        So, they paid you first, and then you shipped it? Do you ship standard or signature to prove they got it? Curious.

        • dm01 on 06/03/2020 - 14:16

          Yes, exactly that - they pay, then I ship. I only bother with signature if the buyer wants to pay to have it - all Aus. Post parcels are tracked these days so even with standard shipping you get proof that it was delivered. Signature just means the postie can't "leave in a safe place" if no one is home.

          Last item I sent like that was a $1300 lens - buyer paid with PayPal, but we spoke on the phone first before he paid so he should make sure I wasn't some African scammer! Item before that was a couple of hundred bucks worth and that was paid for with bank deposit.

          Obviously there's always a degree of risk in posting something off like this, but I've done it enough times without issue that I figure I'm pretty good at gauging people.

          Besides, I live in a rural area and there just aren't that many people local enough to buy most things I'm selling.

  • ash2000 on 05/03/2020 - 12:08

    Post 2 Items Free each Month on eBay via Gumtree (Save 10% on Insertion & Final Selling Fees)

    What's 10% got to do with anything? It's 2x free listings isn't it (Inc insertion and FVF)?

    • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 12:14
      +1

      Because that's roughly what it will be with listing otherwise? then add Paypal and GST…

  • B-Man02 on 05/03/2020 - 12:08
    +2

    Also note you probably will have to chase up the final value fees as gumtree/ebay dont seem to pass that along.

    • RetroMetro on 05/03/2020 - 12:18

      I've never been charged a final value fee and i been using it for age.

  • Destin on 05/03/2020 - 12:08
    +7

    I use this a lot, it never tracks - just a heads up to check your account after sales. Support have been good at applying manual credits but it does take time.

  • RetroMetro on 05/03/2020 - 12:09

    This is the best thing from eBay that i use, either than that there isn't much

    • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 12:15

      I signed up for Plus a second year PURELY for discounted item listings…. and guess what, nothing.

      Will never fall for that again.

      • RetroMetro on 05/03/2020 - 12:17
        +2

        the only reason why i joined plus is cause it was $40 plus they gave me a $50 gift card. So i got $10 for joining plus. But i doubt that will ever happen again XD

        • WaywardOne on 05/03/2020 - 13:27

          Yeah, I prefer to think of it as 20% off a $50 eBay gift card.

          • RetroMetro on 05/03/2020 - 14:29

            @WaywardOne: Yeah quite true! Plus is pretty trash. I think the only things I have benefited is the free express post using a code and 15% off sitewide. Either than that joining was pretty much 20% off a $50 giftcard.

      • whyisave on 05/03/2020 - 12:19

        what do you mean by 'discounted item listings' ?
        doesn't every eBay account, get 40 x free listings a month?

        does eBay PLUS give discounted final-value-fees ?

        • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 12:21

          They originally had more selling offers, be it full discount or the like…. it was in their reasons to sign up….

          This 2nd year, I've had nothing come across at all.

          • whyisave on 05/03/2020 - 12:22

            @scuderiarmani: i don't understand your reply, with respect to my question.

            i am only interested in "Final Value Fees".

            ( since, all eBay accounts should get 40 x free listings to sell, per month )

            • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 12:25
              +3

              @whyisave: Like I said, more selling offers in general, most of those are completely free final value fees…. some of those were a percentage discount… some were unlimited numbers for a period, others were 3, 5 10 etc etc….

              These fees alone would have easily covered my membership outlay… I also got stiffed by having a better offer days after I signed up…. also missed many other sign up offers before too….

              The whole eBay Plus thing is a disgrace. Like many things, they start of well.

              They need to be consistent across the board. No different to Telstra really… dont screw some customers and reward others for no reason.

  • heysoph9 on 05/03/2020 - 12:17

    Maybe change the title to "List 2 items free" .. thought it was free postage

    I've been selling items on scumtree for a few years now and my god you come across some of the biggest bunch of morons, imbeciles and time wasters.

    • aragornelessar on 05/03/2020 - 12:30

      Facebook Marketplace has started going down the same track I feel!
      I thought with Gumtree, you had people hiding behind anonymity but now they're using full profiles and being stupid

    • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 12:31

      There's a great thread on Whirlpool…..

    • wetsandwich on 05/03/2020 - 17:18

      Facebook marketplace has it's own set of window lickers.

      It all happened when people over 35 in age and under 35 IQ got allowed on the internet, really.

    • Heaps for Cheaps on 05/03/2020 - 17:56

      Is it still available?

    • Geekomatic on 06/03/2020 - 11:51

      Right?

      Me: selling new $70 item, in original shrink-wrapped box. Still selling for $70 in the shops. Asking $20.

      Them: will you take $5. !!

      Or: will you take $10 and bring it up on the train to Perth. !!!

      :P

  • Herbse on 05/03/2020 - 12:35

    It tells you that you can do this after each time you list an item on gumtree. How can people not know about it?

    • aragornelessar on 05/03/2020 - 12:38
      +3

      Personally, I don't even bother listing on Gumtree as I don't care to deal with offers of a gold coin and some cotton buds with wax.

      It's a slow deal day. I know, let's look at successful expired deals. Instead of asking mods to change original post to long running its better to get internet points and validation by relisting.

    I've been using this for a while, great way to sell high value items

  • Alaken on 05/03/2020 - 13:25

    If my listing ends in 30days and auto renews from Ebay and sells, do I get charged for final fee's?
    Do best offers sells work for this promo if I post through gumtree? Or do I get charged final fee's?

    • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 13:27
      +1

      Yes you will if it renews. It's a different listing number.

      Best offer is fine.

      • Alaken on 05/03/2020 - 13:28

        Thanks. I will make sure to post through gumtree again when I get close to the auto renew date. Cheers

        • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 13:29
          +1

          Just turn off auto renewal in the meantime.

          • Alaken on 05/03/2020 - 13:36

            @scuderiarmani: How do I do that?

            • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 13:39

              @Alaken: I know the ebay app and website often change their selling layout, and causes all sorts of other mess like best offer by default… But it's usually towards the end.

              Sorry can't say exactly, I've tried to refrain from selling on ebay, Facebook seems the better option these days…. Even if that has huge issues in itself.

              • Alaken on 05/03/2020 - 13:39

                @scuderiarmani: Ok no worries. Thanks the advice anyway. Cheers

                • scuderiarmani on 05/03/2020 - 13:41

                  @Alaken: I just tried a listing on the Android app, and again looks different… Hopefully it's still an option.

            Have to manually cancel it.

    Uses eBay… 'Meh, I can save myself the eBay fees by selling on Gumtree'

    Uses Gumtree… Lists item that will sell for $100 all day for $80. Gets offer 'Will you take $30?'

    I used this promo and sold a $1000 item and a $3700 item. When I logged in I had $500 in outstanding fees showing.

    I hopped onto eBay chat and got it cleared up in 5 minutes. Pleasantly surprised!

  • C0mbat on 05/03/2020 - 16:19

    I use this all the time. Be aware that they sometimes still charge you the final value and then you need to call up and most of the agents don't know about the offer. So take a screenshot of the offer on gumtree each time.

    • PeterSnoot on 06/03/2020 - 09:12

      Agree - I've been caught out on this before

    We're sorry, but the quick listing tool isn't working just at the moment. Please try again later."

    EDIT: It appeared as a draft on this page, where I was able to complete the listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/sl/sell?sr=wnstart

    • 0 0 0 on 23/04/2020 - 22:08

      I got the same today when I tried to list. Ended up with lots of drafts because I kept trying. Listed from a draft anyway and am 99% sure I'll have to dispute the FVF.

      • hopper1 on 27/05/2020 - 13:19

        I'm getting the same error too. Did you end up selling the item on ebay and then having to dispute the FVF?

  • maccam01 on 29/04/2020 - 10:38

    I have been using this deal but am seeing if others had any experience in using it that may help to answer a question. I had to cancel a listing on the request of the buyer. Can i sell another listing for free or does ebay count the cancelled listing as one of the two free ones I am allowed?

    • 0 0 0 on 29/04/2020 - 12:38

      Assume no but chat with eBay and they might waive the fees.

  • User2049 on 30/06/2020 - 11:39

    So with this deal can you list an item on eBay as an auction or only as buy it now, also does it have to be local pickup only or can you set it to delivery?

    • maccam01 on 30/06/2020 - 16:16

      I have used it with buyitnow and delivery.

  • Rukiata on 12/10/2020 - 14:09
