eBay Australia: Upsized 10% Cashback ($20 Cap) @ ShopBack

1260

Upsized 10% cashback on most categories with $20 cap. ShopBack has not made clear whether this is $20 cap per transaction or per account.


Just received a notification from ShopBack. Ignore the eBay Plus logo since I believe it is for the wrong promo.

The 15/22% off eBay Plus Weekend codes are listed on ShopBack and will qualify for cashback.

Unsure what codes will be stackable since the picture did say special codes (could be the eBay Plus weekend codes)

Don’t forget to activate the loyalty spend promo

Excluded categories:

  • Items in the Travel category
  • Charity and non-profit items
  • eBay Plus membership
  • Items with Best Offer accepted prices and Auctions
  • Items paid using any type of voucher or eBay credit

Special notes from store

  • Any purchases made with the use of coupon or Voucher codes are not eligible for Cashback (unless otherwise stated) and will track at $0.
  • Only purchases made through eBay Australia will earn Cashback. Cashback is valid when gift cards are used as a payment method
  • Ensure that you DO NOT add products to your eBay wishlist and purchase/bid over 24 hours later, as Cashback may not be awarded.
  • Ensure that you DO NOT click on advertising banners or sponsored links on the eBay website.
  • Ensure that the seller has marked your order as sent once you receive your purchased items.
  • Cashback not available through the ShopBack Extension, be sure to click through from this platform to be eligible for Cashback.

When will I get my cashback?

        ShopBack has become worse since the staffing changes in March this year

  • SB seemed to have messed up the $20 cap as I got a bit more. (As have others on this thread)

    I'm hoping they are reprocessing the cashbacks again to limit it to $20.

    Even if the codes were invalid, I should still have got the WP bonus and still counting towards the $3 per $100 bonus

    • Actually that is a good point, my cashback was over $20. $23 something so hopefully the backroom boys are redoing it

  • Just checked ShopBack and all 3 of my transactions have been rejected. How annoying!! Would not have bought otherwise.

    • Same. ALL of mine have been rejected too. WTF

  • Only placed one order ,tracked initially but Rejected now , I will return the package if they refuse to honour the deal

  • Sadly, nothing has changed overnight

    This time last year SB had a similar deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/769116 that worked with certain listed ebay discount codes. Not sure what's changed this year apart from SB stuffed up the $20 cap and decided to remove all tracked results.

    @gotyourback

    You are going to get your guys to fix this or it's going to a PR headache for SB, I'm down $35 on my $300 spend ($20 +$9 + $6)

  • +1

    @gotyourback come on, this is ridiculous now. please explain

  • +4

    Hey Folks! Just wanted to say we hear you loud and clear about the issues with Westpac & St. George bonuses and the "calculating" Cashback from eBay. Our team is digging into this as we speak, and I'll be sure to loop you all in with any updates ASAP!

    • +2

      Thank you gyb - we are 'all ears' for the update.

    • 👍 Cheers!
      Don't mind the wait as long as it will be fixed eventually.

    • My westpac bonuses were all rejected and my main cashbacks too are stuck at calculating.

    • @gotyourback Would be great to get an ETA for the fix as it would determine if to cancel and return the purchase. Losing out on $20 (bank bonus) + $20 (ebay 10%) + $12 (ebay loyalty challenge) is a big deal. Cheers !

      • They must be screwed up big this time. If it's just a wrong discount number or something they forgot to activate for the bonus to take place on their system, it should be easily adjusted. Luckily almost everyone is having this problem. Imagine if only one or two people and reported this to their CS, I bet it would end up like @couger where their CS would just jumped the gun and told them it was their own fault.

        • Interestingly I can't correlate the txn id that Shopback has recorded with anything from ebay

    • +1

      Update please?

      • Hey mate! No news yet, but I'll bug them again for an update. Stay tuned, and thanks for being patient!

  • Classic shopback rejecting all my ebay bonus cashback. I signed up for a westpac account for this and been using shopback for too long to know the dos and donts on ebay.
    Shopped heaps that day knowing I wanted to use the upsized cashback. I didnt even use coupons for these. Not even sure if ill get the main cashback now even if my items have been dispatched already -_-

      Has this happened to you before? You make it seem like this isn't the first time.
      Definitely the first time for me and I have participated in pretty much every upsized eBay cashback offering

      As per GYB's latest comment they're looking into it. I'm sure they will honour everything as per what was advertised.

      • Classic i meant it's always hit or miss. I tracked this one specifically as i purposely shopped around and was extra careful.

        Hopefully they fix this.

      • First time for me also - and I've participated in A LOT of shopback promos

  • Still no update? I’m affected as well. Initially tracked, now calculating.

  • Waiting waiting waiting …..

  • I am thinking of returning it. More expensive than market price without cashback.
    Very disappointed with Shopback.
    It's kind of dodgy things.

  • -1

    @gotyourback

    You are overdue for providing an update on this, it would be good PR to let us know what's going on @SB regarding this and when the cashback (and related bonuses) are going to re-track.

    • +5

      You are overdue for providing an update on this

      Relax a bit mate. Their last reply was on 7/5 and the rep did say:

      I'll be sure to loop you all in with any updates ASAP!

  • +4

    @gotyourback surely an update by now please?

    @ca6leguy @bellazio22 @redhotchilli @ozchobie @isthisreallife22 @Empharand @armageddeus @sintro @King Tightarse @calinya

    • yeah it's still pending and rejected.
      Anyone contacted support?

      • I'm worried contacting support will end up they rejecting my cashback just like some people before.

        • Just wait I reckon. It was a code advertised on the ShopBack website. It has to be honoured….

          • @Repstar: By looking at the delay, we should start thinking what action to do if for whatever reason they are not honoring it. :)

            • @Blurayz: Seems odd for taking so long to come back with a resolution. It was pretty obvious esp with the email promoting it. Sent support an email, but no update yet.

      • I contacted support the day the cashback went to rejected/calculating, they asked for me to provide Order Confirmations etc and came back to me yesterday with "Leave this with me to follow up for you, as soon as I hear back from them I'll be right back with the information"

        If they don't honour everything as advertised then this will be the straw that broke the camels back (For me anyways)

        • Thanks. Let us know when you get a reply!

    • Also waiting on a reply here GYB:

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15196614/redir

    I see the eBay $3 per $100 spend challenge is now saying "All rewards claimed"

    I was eligible for that $12 until Shopback incorrectly rejected my eBay transactions on 03/05

    Not happy Jan

    • +2

      You're not the only one in the same boat, I'm in that same boat…. Whether they honour THAT part is the question

      • Exactly the same boat for me as well. Had 4 x $3 all tracked.

  • +3

    I made a purchase WITHOUT the advertised codes. It was tracked, also with the bonus st george offer. But it has changed to calculating and rejected.

    So I don’t think this is all related to the code being used or not. The whole eBay tracking is stuffed up.

    • +2

      Same for me, no code being used, tracked then rejected

  • +2

    It seems everyone are the same boat. No matter approved code or without code. Paid with bank card plus with eBay gift card. They all approved first and rejected later. Contact helpdesk since the issue happened from Monday 06/05/24 l sent all information whatever they need but until now remaining investigation. Luckily my one doesn’t have cash back much. I just want to test how my st.George card work and the first time paid mixed with some eBay gift card l left some balance and problem occurred like everyone. Helpdesk name is Sri. If everyone know him/her you guys are too late for responding or if anyone who is higher level than this guy when you will give a clear answer why approved first and rejected later ??? To make it clear for everyone who shop on last Friday 03/05/24 cashback tracked and rejected later !!!

    • +1

      Sri is useless. Doesn’t actually read your emails and sends you copy paste answers.

      • Yes. I agree with you l sent an email since last Monday but today was Sunday. ( 7 days later ) No any response from him/her. Remaining investigation!!! Whatever ShopBack bonus campaign from now no more for me until they resolved the issue. Good luck with chasing their bonus that track first make everyone happy and 2 days later rejected all cashback with no any explanation why they rejected??? This is a trap from ShopBack nowadays without anyone can help.Helpdesk all are useless!!!

  • +2

    I see in the App there is a 'Shopback Frenzy' this week 14-16 May featuring ebay.

    Hope they resolve this issue before then.

    • Once bitten, twice shy.

      Use it at your own risk from now on.

  • +2

    @gotyourback It has now been a week. Update please.
    You guys are launching 'Shopback Frenzy' from tomorrow while we're all still waiting for this to be rectified from the last 'Upsized' deal

    • +1
      • Anyone else get this same reply ?

        Thanks for reaching out to ShopBack.

        I truly appreciate your patience in this matter and apologize for the experience. I can understand not receiving what you expected, and I regret to share this news.

        I've checked on your investigation status, it's open and ongoing at this point. In this case, they might require more time to complete the verification.

        We will reach out to you as soon as this is completed.

        At the same time as well, just in case I have reached out to the team to expedite this.

        Thank you so much for your patience, we really appreciate it - please reach out to me if I can help in any other way.
        Regards,
        Sri

        • Copy pasted response?

        • Yes. I got reply exactly the same reply to you and helpdesk name is Sri too. Copy paste all sentence for everyone who need help from helpdesk. No more click frenzy no more upsize and no more bank card for me until they resolve the issue or give a clear answer why tracked first and rejected later!!!!

  • +1

    Same as everyone, still waiting on 3 X eBay rejected orders to be processed. Can't recommend or post these deals anymore.

    Haven't lodged a claim though. Will wait for @gotyourback to reply here. Also have Chemist Warehouse orders to sort out.

    I will use ShopBack for gift cards only. Not keen on Cashrewards or TopCashback either.

    Can't face chasing these robots and getting copy and paste answers, similar to eBay agents

    • +3

      Yeah same. Wish I took a screenshot of it. Not impressed.

      Sounds like this was an issue with Shopback and eBay about allowing the 22% discount code to stack with the bonus cashbacks. At the end of the day, as a user, that’s not our problem. That’s probably what happens when you offload a lot of your competent staff to reduce costs.

  • Hi everyone, here's some research on ShopBack. May explain the glitches recently

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/845747

    • +1

      There’s an upsize for eBay which I’m hesitant to post too now bc of the stuff ups from ShopBack

      • +1

        I'm not posting anymore till they sort the current mistakes

  • With issues affecting almost everyone, writing and complaining to consumer affairs is probably faster for the problem to get solved.

  • +1

    @gotyourback
    Update please. How long do we need to wait for a resolution?

    Starting to think you guys are hoping we will forget about this and move on (I have no intention of doing that)

    • On the case! Still waiting to hear back, but I'll keep digging and update you ASAP. Thanks for your patience!

      • +3

        @gotyourback, you need to give us at least a time frame so we all don't wait in limbo. It has been a week, so there should be at least some information of what is going on and how long does it take to solve it.

  • +2

    Glad I am not the only one frustrated by this.

  • Without getting any transparency from SB, I assume they are now deciding whether to re-track and lose money (less likely by the day) or string us along and hope we get over it.

    • +2

      There has been no announcement as to why all the cashbacks were rescinded yet, which I find ridiculous. People who didn't use any eBay code for their purchase were also rejected. All they have done is acknowledge they are seeing the issue, but still to date no explanation as to why.

      There are numerous proof that the code was listed on their site too.

  • +2

    The eBay rejection issues appear to be independent of whether a code or eBay gift card was used.
    I didn't use a code on my 3 orders. 2 of my orders were also paid in full with a St George card. All orders have been rejected.

    ShopBack seems to have gone backwards since the recent restructuring and staff changes. Last month, there were already inaccurate T&Cs/tracking discrepancies with BWS, Amazon, Priceline Pharmacy etc.

    On the ShopBack Super Savers Community Facebook page, there are reports of issues with other retailers including mistakes in T&Cs recently.

    It's disappointing to experience this level of incompetence considering ShopBack Australia hit $3 billion in sales last year.

    @gotyourback Hope to see a resolution soon. Some of us are taking a break from shopping at ShopBack until the eBay cashback is fixed. Thanks

  • I think whats annoying, is in the past GYB would have a fix within 24 hours. It's been a week and we have nothing. Beyond frustrating. Maybe we need to contact someone higher up at Shopback.

                • +2

                  @Empharand: There is also the up to $12 cashback eBay challenge, @Repstar: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/840941

                  This was active at the time of the 3 May upsized cashback, but has since run out of rewards. I couldn't see any indication of limited rewards prior to this so it comes as a surprise. Pretty sure everyone with eBay orders from 3 May that are showing as $0 cashback have missed out on this now.

    Hey everyone! Got an update on the Cashback issue – the awesome crew is fixing it ASAP! You should see both your standard and bank bonuses reflected in your account for the correct amount within 3-5 business days.

    If you don't see it after that, just shoot us a DM or email and we'll be happy to help!

    Super sorry for the inconvenience, but we're getting it sorted!

    • +3

      @gotyourback
      How about the issue with eBay loyalty challenge, $3 per $100 bonus https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/840941 that stacked with this deal?

      • +2

        No worries about the challenge bonus! It'll be updated once the Standard Cashback from eBay is all sorted and reflected in your account.

        • The eBay loyalty challenge currently says all rewards claimed. Will ShopBack add additional rewards / manually credit this challenge for those with eBay orders from 3 May?

        • Thanks mate good to hear

    • +1

      Thanks GYB, great news. As others have said we were showing the challenge as complete (4 x $3 for me), and it now says all rewards claimed.

    • Might be jumping the gun here, but the original transaction that was declined (for me) was $17.03 but I just got a notification that I have cash back tracked at $0.56, which is a far cry from 10%.

      • Same. If you check the eBay Challenge, you can see they cut the tax out and split the order value into two or more. I don't understand why

      • Westpac bonus $3.42 down to $2.24

    • Got the updated tracking email buy it didnt track at 10%.

    Hi All. See below email from Angus @ Shopback AU. Finally some movement as GYB has said above.


    Hey Repstar,

    Thanks for reaching out, appreciate you raising this!

    I've spoken with the teams who are investigating and they are prioritising a resolution, believe this has just been communicated on the deal post by GYB.

    Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help out.

    Many thanks,

    Gus


    • Just a quick update. My bank bonus cashback has shown tracked on the app (but the date is showing today's date, the previous one that got rejected still there). Standard e-bay cashback and ebay loyality challenge ($3 per $100 bonus) seem hasn't been fixed yet.

    • @Repstar Excellent news! Mine hasn't been fixed yet and will contact GYB if no change after 3-5 days

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15271319/redir

    • Mind bonus amount appeared but it is less than what it supposed to be and the base 10% is still showing as calculating.

  • @gotyourback a transaction has appeared on my account but the purchase and cashback amount is incorrect.

    • Hey @ca6leguy! To help you out faster, can you send us a DM with some more details?

      • Should I send you one too?? The discrepancy is quite a lot.

        • Yup sure @bluedufflecoat, I'll take a look
