    I have taken up the 1 month free trial in the past, so disappointing that all I am not eligible for any of the promos now.

    • Stuzi on 01/05/2020 - 11:07

      Where does it say that just because you have done 1 month trial, you are ineligible?

    • zqipz on 01/05/2020 - 11:37

      I have used the 1 month trial and have successfully signed up to this deal in the past.

      • elcheapo on 01/05/2020 - 11:53

        not for me :(

        • TheLurker on 01/05/2020 - 17:11

          The terms say you won't be eligible for another 1m trial, but not that you can't access the deal. That said I do understand the deal ad banner is targeted.

          The terms url is https://tc.ebay.com.au/ebay-plus-50-ebay-voucher-promotion-f…

          There may be a unique tracking code after that to access this, but worth trying this url once signed in on the same browser session.

          Note the design is confusing. There may be a 'take up offer' button in the top banner which is easily overlooked. May only work in desktop browser mode if accessing on mobile. That tracking should work, but the terms then shown in sign up screen are non discount terms (poor design) so I suggest screen shots as you sign up in case of debate with ebay to get the voucher later

    eBay seems to be trying very hard to entice people onto their eBay Plus program. Almost every week there is a deal trying to get more users onto the program.

    • Diji1 on 01/05/2020 - 11:45

      Of course, the business model is sign everyone up, give them (profanity) all for their 50 bucks, and then laugh all the way to the bank as millions forget to cancel.

      • t25 on 01/05/2020 - 22:34

        But if they put in the same amount of effort trying to be a real competitor to Amazon Prime, they would be a lot more successful. From what I have heard/read, it is very average.

  • dmbminaret on 01/05/2020 - 09:50

    I did this last round and so far not bought anything by plus and only used $25 of voucher. Prime on the other hand, I use most days.

    • pr0d1gy on 01/05/2020 - 09:58

      Is the voucher one use only (forfeit remaining balance after use) or is it like a gift card which can be used for smaller amounts until all balance us used?

      • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 01/05/2020 - 10:01
        +1

        It’s a gift card so you can use it multiple times.

      • dmbminaret on 01/05/2020 - 10:01

        I believe it is multiple use. I haven't tried a second purchase yet but it definitely looked that way.

    • jayz on 01/05/2020 - 12:01

      Have there been any sign up deals for Prime? I keep waiting but maybe they don't exist?

      • dmbminaret on 01/05/2020 - 12:09
        +1

        One month free is about it I think. $59 a year is easy to cover post particularly from US.

        • FoxBaer on 02/05/2020 - 07:57

          Sorry I haven't been following the Amazon au deals as they tend to not be of any interest but does prime get you access to all the US products as well?

          • dmbminaret on 02/05/2020 - 09:28

            @FoxBaer: When you buy from Amazon US, you get free shipping with prime if order is over $50

  • kevmev12 on 01/05/2020 - 10:53

    Just sign up when you have to buy something from eBay that's >$50 and use the digital gift card to pay for it. Would be helpful if I can remember to take my own advice…

    • puffinfresh on 01/05/2020 - 12:25

      Not if you want that thing by a specific time. eBay are often slow at getting the vouchers out.

  • bonky on 01/05/2020 - 11:02

    seems not worth it…. …. $50 credit for $49 fee to sign up

  • SolidworksError on 01/05/2020 - 11:05

    Does anyone feel like they've ever gotten value from ebay plus? I did a year for a previous promo and never felt like I got much from it. Not nearly as good as amazon imo

    • BlinkyBill on 01/05/2020 - 11:09

      I found I got much better support in a dispute. But is worth $49 for a dispute on a $5 phone case?

    • SingletonOfT on 01/05/2020 - 11:11
      +1

      Agree, never really got value out of it. Never used the free returns. Plus member discounts + free shipping used maybe a couple of times, but that's not to say you couldn't shop around and get a similar deal.

      I got much better value out of the Amazon Prime membership particularly with international shipping

    • AdosHouse on 01/05/2020 - 16:24

      I think I have. Free postage with Computer Alliance. Ordered a few thing through the year.

  • ass3ts on 01/05/2020 - 11:06

    eBay is getting worse and desperate, I usually only use eBay to obtain odd things that I can't find elsewhere nowadays.

  • Grok on 01/05/2020 - 11:21
    +4

    I got the offer last year and have not really got value for it. I haven't even used the $50 Gift card yet.

    They give you a $5 voucher for Plus items every moment but you can't stack it and you have to spend $50+ so it becomes useless as there always seems to be another better voucher available.

    I will not renew.

  • shivaussie on 01/05/2020 - 11:24

    Is the gift card a flat 50$ one or do they give 5$ a month voucher for 10 months?

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 01/05/2020 - 11:29
      +1

      Flat $50.

      • Dark Zeus on 01/05/2020 - 12:07
        +2

        Yep

        $50.00 as flat then additional $5.00 off at minimum of $50 spending monthly.

    If I could get my money back on this waste of service I would…

    Don't support this. It's been watered down since launch.

  • cnut on 01/05/2020 - 11:40

    Dumb question. If you're an existing member, do you have to cancel your membership and then take the offer up?

  • PainToad on 01/05/2020 - 11:40
    +1

    Be warned, this isn’t a “gift card” it’s $50 off voucher that can’t be stacked with other codes. Very misleading.

    I finally used mine on yesterday’s TGG’s Google Hub Max. Except that’s getting refunded, but have no idea what’s going to happen with my $50 “gift card”.

    Oh, and eBay Plus is pointless. You still have to deal with the shitty sellers, compared with Prime where you deal with Amazon.

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 01/05/2020 - 12:15

      Wrong, I got mine and I was able to stack it with other promos.

      • Payne on 01/05/2020 - 13:07
        +4

        I wasn't able to stack mine with other coupons (e.g. 10% off) because I had to enter the $50 code into the 'Gift cards, vouchers, coupons' box and would only accept one code.

        • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 01/05/2020 - 13:39

          Odd, try contacting support maybe?

        • puffinfresh on 01/05/2020 - 14:34
          +1

          It should be a gift card that you can stack. Unless you don't get it automatically and have to complain, then they will send you a voucher that can't stack and has a shorter expiry. However, you can use the voucher to buy a gift card.

      • dojomojo on 01/05/2020 - 14:21

        Ditto, mine was a gift card, I could stack ok.

        • TheLurker on 01/05/2020 - 17:04

          Got my voucher a week and a half ago (this deal has still been running, just not promoted). Took 4 days for them to send it.

          It is a gift card so effectively credit at checkout. Stacked with both the $5 voucher and a discount code when I spent it a couple of days ago.

    These ebay Plus deals always remind me to unsubscribe from eBay Plus lol.

  • 4ustralian on 01/05/2020 - 11:56

    It was joining free before.

  • Dark Zeus on 01/05/2020 - 12:05

    To cancel membership, I put 2 weeks notice before the renewal membership date to avoid membership fee.

    • MuddyClear on 01/05/2020 - 12:25
      +1

      Cancel now and forget the reminder. You still get the benefits until it expires.

      • narmeian on 01/05/2020 - 14:18

        I just did this and they gave me a $30 gift card to stay, even though it doesn't expire until next Jan.

        • jingy on 01/05/2020 - 14:25
          +2

          Saw your reply so I tried it, also got offered a $30 gift card to stay so I accepted it

          • puffinfresh on 01/05/2020 - 14:32

            @jingy: But do you get the gift card now, or when you pay your next renewal?

            • MuddyClear on 01/05/2020 - 15:11

              @puffinfresh: After you pay the renewal so technically it becomes $20 to renew. So basically $10 per year for two years then you drop out and never join EBay Plus again!

  • C0mbat on 01/05/2020 - 12:57

    Haha. More like the sign up for eBay Plus under the promise of a voucher but never receive it. There are loads of people in that situation and I'm one of them. Don't waste your time.

    • KLF23 on 01/05/2020 - 13:39

      I had to contact eBay for many months providing them with screenshot evidence until they eventually provided me with a$50 voucher.

    • Maxxjet on 01/05/2020 - 16:41

      Maybe check your ebay inbox if not yet? I was in the same situtaion as you and chatted with many ebay support people many times who even escalated this to some big boss until a 'big boss' told me to check my ebay inbox ( not the email like gmail etc) …. it was issued 1 week after I paid the fee… :)

      • KLF23 on 01/05/2020 - 16:44

        They told me that they hadn't sent me a gift card because I wasn't eligible. Luckily I had taken many screenshots of the process. It still took much convincing.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 01/05/2020 - 18:01

      I actually got 2 $50 vouchers, the second was came as an apology for the delay in receiving the original one.

  • moorey on 01/05/2020 - 13:10

    Don't sign up for ebay plus. It's worthless even when it's given out like this

  • PopCounty on 01/05/2020 - 13:12
    +1

    Without this deal the eBay plus would be worthless for majority of ppl. I mean rarely ppl would want to actually purchase plus for $49 bucks.
    Did good business with eBay when I had plus for a year. Initially.

    I look at prime for $84 a year and I see their Prime Videos to be worth that itself. Perception has changed since. So thus the business from eBay to Amazon. GL eBay. I am out though.

    • Knightelf on 01/05/2020 - 13:28

      Prime is only $59 a year if you take annual subscription rather than pay by month.

    • ocoolio on 01/05/2020 - 15:43

      Why is eBay plus worthless? I can see how Amazon Prime is useful for free deliveries in small items.

  • ENSLAVER on 01/05/2020 - 15:52

    Last year I received a $49 voucher for signing up to eBay plus. The voucher had a $150 minimum spending condition.

  • Dexdexter on 01/05/2020 - 18:05

    just make a new account with the trial if you need something from eBay plus and cancel lol

  • OrigamiRabbit on 01/05/2020 - 18:19

  • Gabbatron44 on 02/05/2020 - 16:21

    Complete waste of time unless you have something for $50 that you want to buy. That's the only reason why I bought one but ebay plus is a joke. Amazon prime is great. BTW I love ebay and buy heaps of stuff from it but ebay plus doesn't provide any benefits for me.
