Join eBay Plus for $9.99 for 1 Year ($49/Year Thereafter) @ eBay

2870

I have been putting off signing back up to eBay Plus since their deals, offers and coupons have gone downhill (something something Jack), but I figured I would take another look today and see if any new offers have come up.

I clicked on the eBay Plus tab on my account and found a banner at the top of the page so it could be targeted, but you might also be able to talk to eBay Chat and see if they can work some magic for you.

Its not as good as the previous deal for $4.99, but its still better than paying full price or only getting a $20 voucher.

So go check your account and emails.

  • Offer Period. This offer commences at 10:00am AEST on 1 May 2023 and is available for a limited time only, for as long as it is advertised on the eBay.com.au site (“Offer Period”). eBay reserves the right to cancel the offer at any time.

  • Eligibility. This offer is only available to Eligible Users. “Eligible Users” means users who have been invited to participate in the offer via email or eBay Message Centre and/or homepage banners on eBay.com.au. To successfully sign up to the offer, Eligible Users must:

  • accept (or “redeem”) the offer by clicking on the 'Join Now' button shown in the email, eBay Message Centre communication, or homepage banner on eBay.com.au; and

  • sign up to an annual eBay Plus membership.

  • Conditions. This offer entitles Eligible Users to 1 year (“Term”) of an eBay Plus membership for the cost of $9.99 AUD. After the Term concludes, standard annual renewal pricing of $49 per annum will apply. Your eBay Plus membership will automatically renew at the end of the Term for a further term unless you or eBay cancel it prior to the end of the membership period. eBay Plus Terms and Conditions apply.

EDIT: I should add I have been an eBay Plus member previously, but didn't renew my subscription this year for about 2-3 months YMMV on if you get offer or not.

EDIT 2: You can cancel your membership right after purchasing. You’ll still have eBay Plus for a year, but they offer you a $30 GC when you do this and keep your membership running. Pay $9.99 and get $30 gift card as well (at the end of the renewal date. i.e. 1st May 2024).(Thanks @nuker !) - long-running deal

    need to add "targeted" into the header ;)

  • +1

    Seems targeted. From your post:

    Eligibility. This offer is only available to Eligible Users. “Eligible Users” means users who have been invited to participate in the offer via email or eBay Message Centre and/or homepage banners on eBay.com.au.

    • Assume $5 month vouchers won't jbe available with this offer

      • +1

        Yes, it's normal eBay plus

        • You don’t always get the monthly vouchers. They can skip for months until you question them

          • @MuddyClear: yes, even though it says you are supposed to get them every month, sometimes you don't and if you ask they just say it all depends on how much you spend etc the previous month?? and that you don't necessarily get them every month

        • Thanks for the reply. Seems too good to be true for $10. Time will tell

  • Exactly the same regarding the putting off with the resigning but for $9.99 I'll jump back in for another 12 months to see how I go. Thanks for heads up.

  • +3

    Shopback is still showing $15 cashback on an annual sub, can probably stack?

    Note it was $35 yesterday but ended, conveniently…

  • +8

    You can go and cancel it right after buying, you’ll still have Plus for a year. They offer $30 GC when you do this, to keep you in. Thanks OP!

    • Nice find @nuker! I will add to the listing.

      Confirmed it worked for me.

      • +5

        Yes, but historically, you don't get that $30 voucher until the current term ends and you pay for a further 12M renewal?

        • Small text said you'd get it in 10 days after next payment, so in a year.

          • +2

            @[Deactivated]: exactly what I said. You have to wait 12M then sign up again and how much is that going to be? See https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13690869/redir

            • +2

              @nismo:

              how much is that going to be?

              Emm, $49/year, standard rate? I declined $30 offer because better deals may pop-up after this year.

              • +2

                @[Deactivated]: That's what I mean, just making sure people know that it can end up meaning a $19 out of pocket sub & as sassypants wrote, you can get better deals, just like this one :)

    • +2

      Sorry all. They offer $30 GC when you do this, to keep you in. They offer $30 GC if you keep subscription, paid in a year, at next renewal.

    • Thanks i just cancelled the billing agreement in paypal. Quick question, Is that enough or do i need to cancel it in ebay itself?

      • +2

        you would need to cancel in ebay directly. A payment cancellation at paypal wouldn't even be relayed back to ebay. It merely stops paypal from paying out the next time ebay tries to charge you.

        • You also need to check it a couple of days prior to cancellation as eBay is known to re-instate/reverse your cancellation if it is cancelled early

          • +1

            @MuddyClear: can they do that? I would be really surprised if a 3rd party can reverse your payment cancellation with paypal. I have done this quite a few times and would be mighty pissed if they did this.

  • +1

    Nice.
    My Ebay Plus membership expired last week and I hadn't renewed, then got the banner. I still use Ebay occasionally when Amazon is too expensive and I want something delivered relatively quick, so this is handy.

    Edit: Cancelled it right after signing up, so that it won't renew. Was offered a $30 voucher to keep Plus active until after my membership end date. Declined, as deals like this or the $4.99 one work out cheaper if you can get them.

    • we do it every year and we get the $30 promo

  • So there's no 40$/50$ giftcard for annual signup anymore?

  • +1

    83c per month. Reckon you could make the $10 back on a deal or two, no? Seems like a good deal. I'm assuming you can cancel after signing up so it doesn't automatically charge you at the end of the year?

    I also had an eBay Plus account some months ago, signed up to get a DELL monitor, then cancelled. Any issues re-signing up or is it only for new customers ?

    • It's targeted, so you either can or you can't… Check eBay plus tab in the app.

  • +1

    you’ve saved $174.20 with eBay Plus

    Guess it worth it for me to renewal.

  • +2

    net profit $20, thanks guys

    You've accepted the offer "Thank You for Choosing eBay Plus - $30 eBay Gift Card"

    • +6

      Op is a bit misleading.

      You won’t get 30 until next renewal which means you have to pay 59

      • +1

        This is correct.
        Apologies, checked T&C's of that $30 voucher and updated description.

      • I just canceled the PayPal Automatic payment to eBay.

  • none of my household got the offer! oh well.

    • +1

      Not even your 7 dogs and 3 rats' accounts?

      • -1

        8 dogs

  • Nice. Got it on my second account. Cheers!

  • +4

    Thanks OP, signed up via shopback for $15 cashback on a annual subscription and got the $9.99 offer giving me $5.01 cash on hand.

    • +1

      Damn i didnt know about this…..missed out as i already signed up

    • +1

      Nooooooo

    • Topcashback offers $20

    • Is this cashback expired?

  • How do we know if this is available to us?

    • +1

      You will see the $9.99 charge on the sign-up page, assuming you are logged in with no eBay Plus active.

      You dont have to commit before seeing if you have the offer.

      • I checked my app, and yes it says $9.99

        Thanks for the tips!

        So I'll sign up, and cancel tomorrow and they may offer me a $30 voucher? Awesome

        • Yes the $30 voucher is provided after you renew next year

          • @skinny: Yeah, not bad I spose.
            But you have to renew, so it's $20? Or wait for another deal like this $9.99 lol

  • my membership is due May 20 so I just went and cancelled it.. i declined the $30 voucher, hopefully i get a better offer

    • +1

      I did that 6 months ago and got this offer only now.. takes time

    • Can you get this offer if you cancel your current membership?

      • it is by invitation for selected few.. if you are lucky .. yes

        but generally it will take some time .. 6 months in my case

        • I didnt get an invite however when i was logged in to Ebay I went to the join ebay plus page and the offer was there.
          Seems the offer is open to anyone who looks on ebay plus page.
          Thanks to OP

  • Now I won't have an excuse to scroll past ebay plus only posts.

  • +2

    Good price but damn eBay is starting to lose a lot of major stores, big w, dell both gone recently plus all the rest before

  • Good stuff been waiting for something like this too

  • Great. Mine expires later this month. Will cancel soon and see if a better offer is presented.

  • eBay keep the refund when you use a voucher. So if you buy a dud item and get a refund, when you rebuy the item, it's at full price (as the voucher is now gone). Dodgy as….

    Can't use a plus voucher when equivalent cash back is offered through SB etc…so gain nothing. Well, actually worse off, as you would get a full refund when not using a plus voucher.

    Summary, plus is rubbish.

    • This has been my experience but after chatting to ebay plus customer service for a while and explaining id like some service for the fee they re-instated the voucher

      Shouldn't have had to demand it back but I guess at least they caved eventually

      • Tried, twice. Both times they told me its ebays policy to retain the refunded voucher.

        • Very poor form on ebay's behalf and good to know I guess so buyer beware :/

  • -1

    I rarely use eBay these days, so even $9.99 is still too much for eBay plus.

  • +2

    Saved $459.93 in the past 7 months. It was certainly worth it for me.

  • I had eBay plus previously and I don't think I ever received any item express lol

  • I can't seem to find eBay's chat function so I can try and negotiate the deal with them :(

    • +1
    • Did you have any success negotiating for this deal?
      I just tried and and was denied, gonna try again in a few hours.

  • +1

    $10 is decent for eBay Plus, I do use it sometimes and the return they offer is decent.

    Plus free postage I read for eBay plus members, and $5 monthly voucher etc

  • wow i got this Your first year of eBay Plus for only $9.99!*
    but i had been a plus before so… let me try..

    clicked.. anddddddddddddddd

    You have already tested eBay Plus for free. If you sign up now, the membership fee is due immediately.
    AU $4.99/month – Our most flexible plan or
    AU $9.99 for your first year

    wohooooo i am a plus again…

  • and yes straight away try to cancel, they offer $30 lol

    Stay & continue your membership beyond 30 April 2024 & receive a $30 gift card*

    The moment you select eBay plus prices bump. Much expensive than Amazon.

    And $5 voucher only apply if you buy more than$50

    And delivery not that fast as Amazon prime.

    Based on quality and delivery speed and prices I still vote Amazon rather than eBay plus.

    It's just my view guys

    • The moment you select eBay plus prices bump. Much expensive than Amazon.
      sometimes there are good prices item without jack and them ebay give $15-20off, and if you claim TRS you get 10% from before the ebay discount which means double dip

      And $5 voucher only apply if you buy more than$50
      for me, minimum $15. dont know why they differenciate

      And delivery not that fast as Amazon prime.
      agree

      Based on quality and delivery speed and prices I still vote Amazon rather than eBay plus.
      oh well, agree, i wish amazon does the same promo like this $9.99 for a year

      • i cant sell on amazon but ebay saved me lot of money with free fvf on EBAY and tons of 15% off or 17% off on Tuesday from eBay Plus.

    • +1

      There are two $5 vouchers per month. You can spend $15+ and get $5 off any item and $50+ for $5 off any eBay Plus seller's item. At least that's what I have had all along but YMMV.

  • Do they still offer retention vouchers if you attempt to cancel an existing subscription?

    • +1

      Yep $30 gift card not voucher.

      • Thankyou - Going to do the cancellation dance later this month

  • no email but had it on my account when i logged on

  • +1

    Thanks Op, ten bucks is a good deal for Plus, especially for my selling benefits, signed up…

    Interesting to note, I didn't have a promo ad, but when I clicked the standard $4.99/month banner, it offered me the $9.99/year option.

  • +1

    What about the suckers that already paid $50 like me? Seems like existing members get shafted every time..

    • +1

      same everywhere else.. restaurant, bank, phone company, uber, clothes manuf, ….
      there is no loyalty and respect they just want new customers new customers who care about existing

  • Really great stuff!

  • +1

    My eBay plus was lapsed 2 months ago.
    Thanks wouldn't have seen this deal if you didn't post it :)

    • Mine lapsed 2 months ago as well. I decided not to renew but don't have this $9.99 offer yet.

  • Does it stack with $15 shopback ebay plus?

    • no hurt to try but we all are gambling here

      • I did that, hasn't tracked yet after 6 days.

        • me either

        • +1

          Lodged a case on day 7, approved on day 8. Shopback delivers…

          • @88mph: Same situation here. How did you lodge as its asking for an order number? Were you ebay plus member previously?

    • +1

      Just got the email today with a successful track. Exactly 7 days since I signed up to eBay Plus.

  • Shopback tracked just now for me (signed up on the day this deal was posted)

    • i also signed up on 1st may but 6pm so maybe a bit later. no email yet
      but i can see it tracked on shopback app $15 amount …. annual.. avail 1 july 23
      lets see

  • got $20 voucher stright away for 9.99 sign up. forgot shopback…..however

    • Same here,

      I used the link from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/737147 when signing up and got the $20 voucher.

      Did not accept the $30 Gift Card on cancellation to keep the subscription going after next years subscription payment.

      • Can we see voucher from android app?

        • I'm not sure, I used the below link, after I logged into Cashrewards and then Ebay in Firefox (PC).

          https://pages.ebay.com.au/buyer_coupons/plussignup/

          Then I pressed join now, and made sure the payment was for only $9.99.

          It probably didn't track in Cashrewards as Subscriptions don't attract cashback.

          Maybe log in using the Cashrewards Andriod App and then into Ebay and then type in the above address and see what happens.

    • signed up but didn't get the $20 voucher :(

  • If someone not utilizing the offer send to their email, can you share it here so i can try using it?
