1 Year of eBay Plus for $10 (Was $49) is great value, especially as a seller. But receiving eBay-Plus seller promos are so inconsistent now, it's too risky paying anything close to the standard price… hope this is helpful!

    Wasn't this posted the other day.

    Hmm mone expires in 9 days, will cancel before then but probably won't bother with the $30 to stay (and wait for a $10 deal hopefully).

  • King Tightarse on 22/10/2024 - 10:36

    My main use for eBay plus is the free fvf and postage but they seem to only be doing it occasionally now and only 1 slot so pretty useless.
    EBay so stingy these days

    • neonlight on 22/10/2024 - 20:01

      Yes it's useless I'm going to cancel my subscription

      The only use is if you sell 1 item per month

  • elitistphoenix on 22/10/2024 - 10:37

    Here is the real deal if someone can get the link

      the real deal is don't do it.

      Even onepass worth more than Ebay plus

      • overlook on 22/10/2024 - 10:41

        onepass is more than 10?

        • NonSense on 22/10/2024 - 15:40
          +1

          At least onepass gave you real saving on the delivery.

          It could be just me but I hardly find anything on ebay says Free delivery for Ebay Plus member only.

      • 4foxache on 22/10/2024 - 14:49

        According to my ebayplus summary I've saved over $900 so worth it for me

        • newtz on 22/10/2024 - 15:20

          Mine says $700 and I feel it's super inflated. They just don't 17% discounts, when you could get 15% with a non plus code or something

        • NonSense on 22/10/2024 - 15:38

          good for you mate : )

          I would do my own calc though.

          Exclude price it jacked and only calculate the 2% extra "saving" Ebay Plus gave.

          • 4foxache on 23/10/2024 - 16:47

            @NonSense: Don't care really all I know is I definitely made my $49 back (well even $19 after getting $30 loyalty voucher) with vouchers etc alone.

      eBay chat said they're aware of the issue and they're "working" on it. The sceptic in me thinks that those of us that did not get the email, but have the offer in our account, shouldn't have it & they are "working" on a way to remove it ;)

        You are right!!!, the 'fix' by eBay is actually to remove the offer!. I can no longer see the offer anymore, now back to $49 per year…scambay.

      • Water Bearer on 23/10/2024 - 12:21

        The sceptic in me says they never actually had a deal at all. They just put it out there to get clicks on their site and hope some people would sign up anyway and buy their products. Knowing they would never offer the discount. No billion dollar company is that incompetent, that they cant make a deal work after weeks.

      I have saved thousands with ebay plus. A large chunk of it through their 0% fee promotions, but also through the ebay plus vouchers and increased % off.

      • Vita85 on 22/10/2024 - 11:15
        +3

        Same. Also use the $5 off $25 a lot.

    • ganjadeals on 22/10/2024 - 11:08

      Still way better then the useless OnePass.

    • desync on 23/10/2024 - 11:46

      with retailers sourcing in bulk from china they've been able to easily undercut drop shippers

      as such ebay and aliexpress are more often than not more expensive than local retailers

      sometimes you can make ebay work with coupons, it's a fools game but if you already have ebay plus (and decent coupons) it can make ebay worth checking out in your comparison shopping

      i'd say the biggest advantage to ebay plus is if you're a seller - they use to provide shipping discounts which easily cover your membership fees even if you pay full price, you just need to make a few sales in the year and you are good

      but as a buyer only it's probably not worth the trouble

  • ThatNintendoKid on 22/10/2024 - 10:52

    Those like me who are still on the previous deal, do we cancel then try this?

    Mrs opted in to this deal last year… or so she thought.
    Was charged $49, didn't realise for a few weeks, and then was basically told $t!ff $#!t.
    With the amount of alternative options available to the discerning online buyer nowadays, FeeBay has definitely lost its shine!

    • Originality on 22/10/2024 - 11:05

      What alternative options are there for online marketplaces like ebay specifically?

      Obviously facebook marketplace and gumtree are great at times, but they're mostly pick up or local delivery. So kinda useless to people in smaller towns.

      • braddsey on 22/10/2024 - 12:25

        Facebook marketplace and gumtree are great for being scammed. You’d be crazy to buy anything where you don’t handover cash in person.

        • neonlight on 23/10/2024 - 07:57

          Yup payid scams and the usual I can't go there physically my sister or brother will. Then someone taken your goods without paying by showing you Commbank payid and retract, or you pay something and never gotten the goods

            • neonlight on 23/10/2024 - 08:06

              @G-rig: True but who knows if the notes are not counterfeit. And for eBay those fee free sales are getting less and less not every month no longer

    I click on the link now and it says I can get it for $10

    Is it worth getting? I suppose $10 isn't much and there may be a good deal with the November sales….. Thoughts O wise OzB gurus.

    • sinners007 on 22/10/2024 - 11:23

    • MBix on 22/10/2024 - 11:28
      +1

      Kind of a horses for courses scenario. I generally make a purchase with their monthly sales that give eBay Plus members an extra couple % so it ends up paying for itself. For a decent amount of OzBargainers I'd say the real value comes with the random no FNF on sales though. They're becoming more and more scarce though but if you have one big sale on eBay it definitely makes it worthwhile, especially for $10 for a year.

      • Viospeed on 22/10/2024 - 12:06

      Still not worth it. eBay plus is only worth $1

      The voucher has minimum spend.

      You might as well spend $49 on Temu or Aliexpress rather than membership

    Still showing as $49 for me, but as of this morning I'm also being offered a 30 day trial, which I don't care about. Waiting for the $10 and I'll bite.

      I tried the app as well. It just freezes on the payment screen.

  • merajaan on 22/10/2024 - 12:40

    Showing up as full price for me. I'm guessing you need to enable email promos (which I disabled long ago) otherwise you won't get deals like this?

  • pichxlonco on 22/10/2024 - 12:56

    My ebay plus expires in 9 days, will see if it works by them. The deal link is just taking me to my normal eBay Plus page.

    At $10/year can't complain, as i do get some value out of eBay, but not as often as i did 2-3 years ago, especially with Aliexpress shipping stuff so quickly.

    Onepass gives better value FOR ME atm when it's on special at $20/year.

    The one that has me worried is my Amazon Prime subscription, which i'm not sure if it is worth the $80/year (especially since prime video now has ads)

    • Lucille Bluth on 22/10/2024 - 14:44

      My ebay plus expires in 9 days, will see if it works by them.

      It won't. I cancelled mine a week ago and shows $49.

      • pichxlonco on 22/10/2024 - 14:48

        I think it's not showing because our memberships are still active (they don't get cancelled right away) and therefore the system doesn't allows us to sign up again. Mine will completely expire in 9 days, so after that i will not be a member and will try and see if i get a banner offering to sign up (again) for $10

        • Lucille Bluth on 22/10/2024 - 14:48

          Mine has ended. I don't have Plus anymore as it was 1 year from signing up which ended last week, and I refused their offer of a $30 credit.

            • OutOfTime on 22/10/2024 - 14:51

              @pichxlonco: Don't worry, it will probably take 5 more attempts by other users to post this deal, before it works on eBays end 🤦‍♂️ (and your membership will have expired by then)

    • neonlight on 23/10/2024 - 08:00

      Prime with ads on video is the worse hidden cost ever.

      For that reason I don't watch it anymore.

      We already paid membership and they just want something more out of customers for nothing

  • BeauKilla on 22/10/2024 - 12:56

    Not sure how people don't see value in ebay plus, I consistently find things cheaper on ebay, then discount codes make it cheaper, then free shipping. I got some motorcycle tyres $120 cheaper than anywhere else plus delivered free.

    Sounds cheap to me. Thanks OP.
    But I never took it up.
    Just dump all my wishes into the cart until cart is full.
    Then tell them if I don't get the plus price then I will get it from Ali.
    Worked every single time.
    And jv got me to cancel Wesfarmers crap deal, harder to pricebeat now but with a bit of effort I never pay full price.

  • danzig440 on 22/10/2024 - 14:06

    Just reminded me to cancel my eBay plus as it was due to renew next month. Will only sign up again if I can get this deal or the voucher for $50.

  • mboy on 22/10/2024 - 14:10
    +3

    Despite the fact that neither this deal or last week’s (later moved to the forum) have actually worked, they've driven 10k+ click-throughs to eBay. Seems like eBay's marketing department is playing Obz like a fiddle; maybe they're not as incompetent as we thought they were.

    • sinners007 on 22/10/2024 - 14:18
      +1

      Good call. It seems to be the same issue. One person was told it's an error and were offered a $50 voucher if they paid the full $49.

      • OutOfTime on 22/10/2024 - 14:31
        +2

        Interesting point, but knowing eBay have offered the subscription at $10, many will never justify paying full price for it.
        All this advertising at $10 just devalues people's perception of the service, not in eBays favour.

        And originally, only an email was sent "in error" (= first post). I only posted the deal because the actual site was updated and confirming the offer, even using the previous email link.
        Sorry to everyone / the mods!

        • sinners007 on 22/10/2024 - 14:36

          Please don't apologise. You posted what appeared to be an active deal. The problem is eBay are morons. They told me they're working on it. That's not likely from previous eBay "deals" that were pulled/created in error.
