It's back! 0% Variable Fees on 5 Sales from 30 August to 30 September.
Check your inbox or click the "Accept Offer" link in the T&Cs page to see if you qualify. Activation is open now.

The Promotion entitles Eligible Sellers to 0% variable fees, which is a component of Final Value Fees (as defined on eBay.com.au), on 5 sales during the Promotion Period on Eligible Listings.

“Eligible Listings” means item listings that are:

  • newly listed on eBay.com.au during the Promotion Period (i.e. they cannot be relisted items through ‘Good ‘til Cancelled (GTC) or auto-renewal);
  • in multi-quantity or single quantity fixed price or auction format only; and
  • not listed in one of the Excluded Categories (as defined below).

The variable fees will be discounted directly from the eBay seller fees applicable to the Eligible Listings when they are sold.
This promotion only applies to the variable fees on Eligible Listings that are sold during the Promotion Period.
eBay reserves the right to cancel or change the offer at any time.

    Awesome! Thanks for the heads up OP! Sold my brand new Macbook Pro last year when I realised I didn't really want it.

    "You've accepted the offer "Pay $0 Variable Fees on 5 new sales, thanks to eBay Plus.""

    Thanks OP! Now I can sell my old MacBook Pro after I realise I don't need it anymore!

    You are a legend.
    Honestly I was just thinking to myself I haven’t seen one of these deals in like 3 months… I’d given up hope.

  • neosin on 29/08/2022 - 20:43

    "0% variable fees, which is a component of Final Value Fees"

    So what other fees are there to pay?

    • doweyy on 29/08/2022 - 20:44
      +2

      $0.30 fixed order fee is the only thing you need to pay. Or other optional listing fees for subtitles and such.

      • Webcrawler20 on 30/08/2022 - 23:59

        If I sell a mobile phone for $1000 then I will pay only 30 cents to eBay after selling. Is that correct?

    • Buy2Much on 29/08/2022 - 20:44

      I think there is a 30 cents selling fee once sold.

    • Chazzozz on 30/08/2022 - 07:08

      Nope, didn’t work for me. No email or message in my Seller’s dashboard, either. I wonder if it’s activity-based and they’re trying to entice sellers who haven’t sold much lately? I’ve sold a steady stream of low-cost items recently so I’d appear as reasonably active in their metrics.

      • Techie4066 on 30/08/2022 - 09:33

        I wonder if it’s activity-based and they’re trying to entice sellers who haven’t sold much lately?

        I've sold 11 things in the past 1.5 months since I started selling, a few high-value phones, and I'm eligible.

        • Chazzozz on 30/08/2022 - 17:08

          I've waited all day and still no email or seller notification. I guess I'm not one of the lucky people.

          • Techie4066 on 30/08/2022 - 17:43

            @Chazzozz: No use waiting for anything. Just check on the RSVP link. Unlikely the offer will change.

            • Chazzozz on 30/08/2022 - 21:20

              @Techie4066: Yep, tried that twice and got the ‘you are not eligible’ message. I’m not a Plus member, so that may be the impetus I need to finally sign up.

              • Techie4066 on 30/08/2022 - 21:33

                @Chazzozz: Well, yes, the deal does say eBay Plus in the title. Clearly no non-member will get it. I subscribed essentially free with a $50 sign-up voucher, and some got additional vouchers.

    Time to offload the remaining few of my ex-mined GPUs, each will sell $500-$1000 so these will save me hundreds of dollars in fees.

      Yeah nah if you look into the T&Cs:

      When does the promotion run?

      The promotion runs from 00:00 (AEST) on 30 August 2022 to 23:59 (AEST) on 30 September 2022 (“Promotion Period”).

      I wouldn't risk it

    • Buy2Much on 29/08/2022 - 20:58

      You could be right, but knowing how buggy eBay is, I am going by the official T&Cs dates/times to be safe in case one have to argue with eBay down the track.

    Be careful to get screen shots that show you are eligible for the promotion.
    Ebay often charges you fees anyway and then you have to prove that they offered you a promotion.
    I sold a couple of thousand dollars worth of digital radios using these promos and it took me months and many chat sessions to get them to refund the fees.
    They then blocked my account from selling despite having 100% feedback.

    • chyawala on 30/08/2022 - 05:51

      That doesn't sound like good trade practice or customer support. Also questionable that they have quietly stopped issuing the monthly $5 coupons that they are meant to for plus members. Again, months of following this up and they just say yes it should be issued but they are escalating the query. There's rumour of some Swiss actuary, a tricky mathematician to work out precisely how to rip people off enough with promises that sound good, just to make the bottom line.

  • O15 on 29/08/2022 - 21:03

    Soon it'll be: eBay Plus - 0% off select items.

      It will be here under "Promotional offers".

      • MattyD on 29/08/2022 - 21:16

        Thank you doweyy. I've never been to that page - wouldn't know how/where/why to visit.

        I thought there might be a simple "go to this menu, click on blah". It just seems to me like ebay hides your offers/vouchers etc to their benefit.

        Edit: my bad. I realise once I entered this 'seller hub' for the first time, it became a nice clean interface (including promo offers, which showed this already accepted). I'm off to eat my prunes like the grumpy bugger I am

    How is selling on ebay nowadays? I haven't sold anything on ebay for years, is it still a terrible experience? Especially the low ballers with their ridiculous demands?

    • superforever on 29/08/2022 - 21:31

      Never sell anything before, also want to know.

    • FireRunner on 29/08/2022 - 21:34
      +3

      Gumtree is filled with lowballers and scammers. eBay is pretty good. Occasionally get messaged asking for a certain price but it's usually not ridiculous.

      • OzBoganYeah on 29/08/2022 - 21:40

        I think asking for a lower price is ok, nothing wrong with that.

        My experience with some buyers (last time i sold several things), they'd ask if i'd accept $20 for a new and sealed item i was selling for $75 & free express post (RRP was over $100).

        • FireRunner on 29/08/2022 - 21:42

          It might depend on what you're selling. I sometimes sell video games or electronics. Very rarely get time wasters on eBay. Gumtree I find quite often, especially with electronics

          • superforever on 29/08/2022 - 21:56

            @FireRunner: OK, want to sell my old 34" LG FHD monitor after I bought the Dell 32" 4k, don't really know how much I can sell it for, is pick up only OK? Do I need to show the monitor is working when pick up? Normally how buyer pay for it?

            • FireRunner on 29/08/2022 - 22:09

              @superforever: Look at other active listings and sold items to gauge value of your monitor. Look at similarly spec’d monitor not just your specific model to get a better understanding of its value.
              You can do pickup only but it limits number of potential buyers.
              I would like to see it working if I was picking up in person but it’s not strictly necessary. You could show pictures of it working in the listing but buyer might request to see it working.
              eBay has a payment management system. EBay will take payment from buyer and deposit it into your bank account a couple of days later.

              • superforever on 30/08/2022 - 09:57

                @FireRunner:

                EBay will take payment from buyer and deposit it into your bank account

                Thanks, so eBay will information me after the buyer paid and I can let the buyer pick it up?

      If you sell at fixed price you can set a minimum offer amount. Everyone who try offer less than the amount you set will be automatically rejected.

    • tajid on 29/08/2022 - 22:37
      +2

      Try to use tracked post as I recently had an experience where the buyer claimed they didn't receive the item and given I didn't have any tracking code, of course they sided with the buyer.

      In this case, I provided everything I could - photo of the small packaging, video of me putting into aus post box. The buyer even showed signs they were going to scam such as canceling after item posted with unreasonable excuses but it's posted so couldn't do anything.

      • MBix on 29/08/2022 - 22:57

      Only 30 cents fee after you sell.

  • brosk1s on 29/08/2022 - 22:27

    0% final value fees are probably the only times I bother selling on eBay these days.

    If I sell an item as "no returns accepted", maybe 1/10 sales would be someone who abuses the money back guarantee to say it's not as described when its apparent to anyone who is not an eBay support employee, is obviously buyers remorse. Then I lose money for two way postage, money back guarantee abusers never lose a thing.

    If I sell an item with 30 day returns, I've had a buyer recently request a return which I approved on the same day. Then she doesn't return it for a week, and doesn't send the original amount of items at first either. Before I get any the items back, which is trackable for her since its AusPost returns, she files a dispute against me for not refunding - which removes my ability to refund her while eBay puts the case on hold until I receive all the items back, then they'll decide. I try to do the nice thing & ask eBay to refund her now instead of waiting for one remaining item, and eBay puts a strike against my account for them making a resolution in a dispute when the rep I talked to assured they would not do, since I asked them to refund her. Classic.

    It's not like I sell dodgy items either, 100% rating after hundreds of sales on both eBay & FB Marketplace. FB Marketplace is my go to for the popular items, but niche items still do better on eBay unfortunately.

  • cya on 29/08/2022 - 22:32
