Thanks. Bought $300
Thanks OP
What do we buy on eBay these days?
I'm curious about this too
Boost Mobile sim
For me recently it's basically all tech: powerbank, tiny pc, GPU, phone cases, boost sims
Car parts and accessories
Office related consumables
prepaid envelopes, express satchels… it's basically 8% off my cost of doing business.
FYI if you spend more than $50pm on postage cost then you should join MyPost Business, may be even better than 10% off for you (depending on where you post and how my you spend per month)
Deals that match the price on the stores website automatically and come with free postage. Any time someone posts something that I'm interested in, I check to see if the store has an ebay presence.
I'm holding less cash in gift cards these days, though. With bank interest at 4%, basically if you don't spend these in 2 years you've gone backwards. Once you factor in the hassles, the risks, and the restrictions, it's more like 6 months. If you can't spend it in that time, better to not get it.
It depends on your marginal tax rate and net debt/savings position. For those in the top tax bracket, $100 in the bank earns $4, but $2 goes in tax. Or buy gift cards and save $8, leaving them ahead so long as they spend within 4 years, which is easy.
What if there is no tax implications. Like putting $100 in offset account on your personal home loan. It all depends on the time you will leave the gift card sitting idle. Each day it sits there is a day you are losing the opportunity cost. If if you gain $8 by buying discounted gift card and spending today, it is today’s gain of $8. If you use the same card 5years from now the gain is not $8 and depending on the interest rate and time you might even go backwards. That is what he was explaining.
@io: PS: I also hold less gift cards now as my offset account interest rate savings is very high compared to 2 years ago.
The land ain’t gonna fill itself!
NAS HDDs
2nd hand stuff mainly or retail stores than have an eBay page (supercheap etc)
Steam Deck 64GB was sale a few weeks ago for sub $760. LG C2 42" for $995 a few days ago via TGG eBay.
There are still many deals you can find on eBay depending on what you need.
There will be some good price items for some people few times a year. example 42 inch LG C2 OLED TV here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/764279
How odd. Don't see the upsize even after restarting the app.
have to click via the promo tab i found.
Ahhh there it is! Pays to read the OP in full.
After my second purchase it says deal limited to 1 purchase only?
(This is not related to the max of 3 cards, it's a new criteria to buy all in one transaction. I swear it wasn't there a minute ago, I'm SUPER particular about reading before buying and it's big and red. I would have seen it. Plus, the second transaction did say 8% cashback elsewhere)
Ignore it and buy it anyway. You will fail the fourth time tho.
Thanks OP, managed to buy 3 with Vanilla Visa cards (which added no problem unlike the Mastercards lately).
I could not add my vanilla card :(
You have exceeded limit.
What is the limit?
That's strange, I used my husband SB account he hasn't purchased anything today but the payment asked for visa verification
I ate my vanilla card.
Would have preferred chocolate.
How did you manage that?
When I try to add the vanilla Visa card to ShopBack as a method of payment via the app, it refuses to do it.
Displays a message saying that for security reasons I can’t add the card…
Click add a few times. If of no avail, your account may not have enough purchase history to do so. I have heard that the accounts only having giftcard purchases are treated differently to those having enough cookie-based purchases.
Tried it a few times, same result, oh well.
What do you mean by cookie-based purchase?
That's what I've been getting with the Gift Mastercards, failed every time I tried to add one lately (actually started happening months ago). Idk what makes these cards go through or not. Also my account has plenty of varied purchase history (near $3k lifetime earnings).
Card got added but can't check out. Please use another card.
I have the same problem
Thanks Marquisite, bought 3 :)
Always seem to miss these so grabbed 3 (max). Thanks OP!
If I buy three giftcards, can I use all three giftcards in one ebay transaction?
ebay allows for up to 5 per order
They allow up to 8. Or 7 if using a coupon code
If u re using an eBay coupon code, can u still use gift card to check out?
Sure can
Yea you can, up to 8 eBay gift cards I think in one transaction
The promo tab is tiny. Took me a while to find it.
This is why you need a mouse or trackpad with an exceedingly high DPI
1% extra if using SB funds . 9% close enough to the 10 of the other day so fired.
Hey where do you find the 1% extra mentioned?
When I click "use cashback" nothing extra shows up for me?
I believe this has expired on the 26th or March
Oh no did I miss out on $1 !
End of the world for some .
The first thought I had was 'Ah I need to transfer some money into Westpac then' 🐒 I have been trained 🙈 wp.
It's 2.5% for me. This seems targeted or may be not showing in my app because I took the last promo of 10% Celebration Swap(not sure).
On the app - click on GIFT CARDS then view the PROMOS tab - it says "8% cashback, was 2.5%"
Thanks a lot mate. Got it.
Thanks OP, bought another $300 on top of the 10%
Am I correct that you're better off getting the 3% on the celebration swap gift card if you need more than $300 (3 gift cards)?
Still trying to get my head around all these various cashback rewards apps.
You can use up to 8 gift cards on an order or 7 with a promo code.
So you could use 3 $100 ones with the 8% off, and the remainder can be on the 3% Celebration swap ones.
is there a way to load credit onto your account without making a purchase? (once the code is in for a purchase any residual seems to be loaded for future use but I want to load it all on now if possible)
Not on eBay, only Amazon
Is it one per person?
Up to three.
Yeah thanks, just bought two more. You never know if a deal pops up lol
Dang…. bought it yesterday…
used it to buy OnePlus 11
Thanks bought 3!
What if next there's a 20% ebay discount, but gift cards not allowed.
Might just wait for the Easter discount.
Ebay has always allowed 1 coupon + 7 (or 8?) gift cards in a single transaction. Not sure what you're spooked by.
7+1 total 8 im pretty sure
thanks! got 2
Won't allow me to purchase, tells me to try again after 24 hours :-/
Worked for me about 10 minutes ago~ Finally got around to buying them.
Not expired - still works via SB app!
is this still on? keeps showing 2.5%
@Marcx33 in the gift card section, click on the promos tab at the top of page. You’ll then see the $100 eBay gift card at 8% off :)
I think it’s now expired
Has this finished? Went to buy one but no eBay option is listed under promos. :(
Ah dammit, didn't realise there was going to be a cap on how many :(
Got them, TA
