A Bunch of Tiny eBay Vouchers, What to Do?

Butt Scratcher on 19/05/2021 - 22:33

I've got a bunch of little vouchers on my ebay account, about 20-25. Any ideas on how best to use it?

They have no minimum spend and range from $1-$35 (most of them are $1-5).

I'm starting to run out of ideas since I don't need anything. I've been spending the higher denominations on prepaid auspost letters, but I think I have enough now. Thinking of maybe just buying stamps

The smaller denominations I've been spending on silly dongles/adapters but I've ran out of ideas and have started to buy random little stuff from officeworks for click and collect (mostly pencils and tape).

There's no real way to convert these little vouchers to money hey?

    Get a bunch of assorted decorative coins and give them away to strangers: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265134469380

      Will I get weird looks from people if I did that?

        If you hand them in person, then definitely.

        For me, I gave them away in anonymous ways on trips to the city. Leaving them on plates at restaurants, leaving them on tables in food courts and bars, on the floor in busy walkways, anywhere someone would find one and might take it out of curiosity. I've always loved being the cause of fun mysteries, hoping that people might take it home and keep it as a trinket and a story.

        I've done this for a few different things, but mysterious coins are almost always taken. Tiny toys or weird plastic things are either ignored or only catch a small glance, but coins turn heads.

      I'm already loaded with CR2032. I've got another decade supply of them for my car keys I reckon (assuming they don't expire before then).

      Yeah. Kids are always eating them. Need to restock, it’s cheaper than baits

          I'm getting these plus $1 FVF listings.

          I'm actually making money selling on eBay at the moment. Eg. Sold a $100 item. Paid $1 fee and got a $10 voucher. They paid me $9 to use eBay. 🙂

          Their new system is stuffed but enjoying it while it lasts.

          • Butt Scratcher on 19/05/2021 - 23:38

            @MS Paint: It is pretty stuff =\

            I haven't been able to get the gumtree x ebay promotion to work ever since they moved to the managed payment system. It always worked flawlessly before that

            • MS Paint on 19/05/2021 - 23:40

              @Butt Scratcher: Every sale I have to go on eBay chat and share a screen capture of the promotion I accepted to get them to adjust the fees. The promotion doesn't show at their end. Most times they just refund all the fees because it's probably easier. Every week I get a $1 FVF promotion sent to me. Stupid eBay.

                @MS Paint: How does selling on eBay work for you being in a remote-ish area?

                • MS Paint on 20/05/2021 - 08:14

                  @ihbh: Not a problem. Just rarely get local pick-up but that's fine by me.

                @MS Paint: Must make the consumer smarter than eBay Marketing.

          See my comments here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/618652#comment-10499409). This voucher is quite crap if you have another offer to list and sell with no final value fees.
