I saw this promotion When I visited the eBay site and signed up FOR 1 year ebay plus for 5 dollars.
It provides great value. Free express shipping instead of slow ass regular post. $5 off (often multiples) per months.
I have Prime, EBay Plus and OnePass. Wouldn’t want to be without any of them.
Still annoys me that the express shipping isn't included for Perth - understandably for variably priced express shipping but for the things that go in the express satchels that cost the same to ship Australia wide I am a grumpy boy.
But must admit even without that benefit I still use eBay Plus a fair amount for random purchases and even though the Final Value Fee sales deals have dried up dramatically, it pays for itself generally with a couple sales per year.
I have Prime, EBay Plus
I'm still holding out against Prime :-D
but yeah, after reluctantly joining eBay Plus,
this is my 2nd year, and it's already paid for itself.
I'm still holding out against Prime
Wow, you've been missing out. I can't imagine living without it, 2023 I had over 400 orders. My Prime Gaming library alone is already over 300+ free games.
Wow, you've been missing out
Yes, this year, I really felt like that.
I just don't like subscription models, and I don't have any, other than eBay Plus.
Besides, I'm not into gaming, so that's not a sell for me, however, the Amazon deals are just too good, so next time there's a membership deal, I might just have to take up on it :-D
So far, I don't buy anything unnecessary, … and that's because I don't have the membership, haha
@whyisave: You better get use to the subscription model, even to live in Australia you will need to pay your subscription fee (tax) unless if you still eligible for free trial (earning less than ~19k).
@Lucille Bluth: Prime is only worth it if you stream. What you'll actually discover is that for free shipping, $59 threshold is quite reasonable.
I thought I'd have prime forever. 6 months ago I gave it up. I'm not missing it.
@justtoreply: I buy a lot of stuff under $59. In fact most of my orders are under this threshold. And I want next day delivery, if you meet the $59 threshold for free delivery with a non-Prime account, it's not next day.
I don't even utilise the Prime Video, I have Stremio+Real Debrid. Find it's more convenient. But it is a nice add-on even with ads now (that you can pay to remove of course).
@Lucille Bluth: I’m getting rid of mine in October. I had an annual subscription. I feel like Prime has some positives but also makes it too easy to just buy rubbish.
If I gamed more, it’d be more valuable but I don’t really.
I think i have a code for 3 months Amazon Prime, messagd me if you want it.
Prime have a lot of good documentaries, soccer, cricket, etc. I even liked the one on Pink. And you get about 2000 electronic books & magazines.
Sometimes didn't actually received express shipping, only regular snail mail. Unsure if that's due to the vendor.
Fast shipping does nothing for me. I'm happy to wait.
Don't they have two pricing tiers.. one of + and one for normal users
No. Normal doesn't have a price. eBay would be dead if they forced that onto free users.
If they paid you for a membership, then you'd still complain.
Plenty of products are cheaper on eBay than on Amazon or anywhere else, stack with coupons and you're way ahead.
$5 is a no brainer.
They did pay me for a membership ($10/year, plus $20 cashback), and I do still complain
Well I'm complaining about your complaining, so I technically win.
It says 4.99p/m for me :(
I think that's targeted, it comes up as $19 for 1 year for me
Me too, also seems to come with a $30 voucher though so I signed up again.
That's how much it's worth
targeted
The value of eBay plus has definitely diminished. The $5 off per month had a $15 minimum spend, then went to $50 and then to $35 when I last checked.
eBay Tuesday deals are rubbish now. There was a time the deals were pretty good
I can see how eBay Plus offers value to people with express post with some sellers. I prefer Amazon Prime and One Pass as subscription models, but each to their own.
For those who want to access the annual eBay sale, just pay $5 for a month at that time.
I can see how eBay Plus offers value
The value is in getting discounted FVF.
Which is getting worst.
Targeted me thinks
$19 for me, must be targeted.
Cost of a cup of coffee is about right, but not $19.
Watch out I got a offer for a free trial & it charged me $49 when I got onto eBay they said I had a free trial 5 years prior that's why so I asked for a refund ,No refunds given .
Sometime when getting the cheaper per year still get charged full price even after clicking the banner and says discounted price. Check bank after sub. Jump on chat and they refund extra. also take screenshot before buying to show banner as they ask for it.
Happened 2 or 3 times for me. Been on eBay since 2004. More issues last 5 years.
Yup same sht they charged me full $49 when I clicked on the given $1 promotion . I'm cancelling this year for sure.
Yikes! Yes it shows me $19 on the Plus page but I've had it before (and subsequently cancelled when the value for money became poor).
Same happened to me, $1 promo, showed as $1 on every page including checkout page, but bank was charged $49. Had to show them screenshots and even then they tried to claim I want eligible and that refunds were impossible. Excruciating talking to eBay support, the very worst out there.
But where are the pedants protecting their OzTurf because you forgot the dollar sign?
If you let your eBay Plus membership lapse, ie. don't renew it.
After about 2-weeks from expiry, you'll get a better offer to renew.
Mine shows $5.99/mth, guessing I buy too much already.
targeted.. for me its $30 useless voucher and regular price $49
Can anyone please explain how to see the deal on the ebay website?
When I click on the link it just takes me to the ebay home page???
Newbie here and need help lol :) Thank you x
Go down to the menu settings/ my ebay tab look for ebay plus should be at the bottom
I did that and couldn't see any offer anywhere.
Mine says $4.99/month. $19.99/year
No offer for me
My current offer says I will save $30 and it will cost me just $19 to sign up. I seem to think its been trying to tempt me with this for quite a while now…. how much longer do you have to hold out for them to go to $5 I wonder?
no offer but 30day free trial. It seems I haven't used ebay for a few months. And my prime membership was cancelled years ago.
I got mine for free
Fml I paid $19 a few weeks ago
I went to cancel and they offered me a $30 voucher to stay. meh
link goes no where
Wouldn't mind renewing at $5/yr. Haven't used the Plus benefits much of late. The $5 off that eBay gives has a minimum purchase of $25 (this used to be $15 if memory serves me right). Then the other vouchers it's given me has hmm.. quite high minimum purchase… let's see… $5 off $50 purchase, save $10 off $100-$599 spend and so on.
YMMV.
$5… a month for me.
Crazy how there are so many pricing options. 49 a year for me
mine says 1 month free then $49 py…
No deal for me unfortunately.
But would be interesting to know how they target these. Do I need to look more poor and needy, or more like a sucker who'll forget to turn off auto-renew Etc.
the deal was on middle of the ebay home page.. just scroll down and u can see a banner i just use paypal to pay for it.
