Sign up to sell on eBay for the first time: £20 from eBay + chance to win £300 from MN for feedback NOW CLOSED

[AnnMumsnet]

Are you looking to declutter, or have stuff you have been meaning to sell but haven’t got round to it yet? Selling regularly but not using eBay? This is the test for you!

We have been asked by the team at eBay, to find 1000 MNers to put them to the test and to share their feedback on a survey.

For this test we are specifically looking for UK Mumsnetters that never listed an item on eBay before (first time listers) and users that haven’t listed anything for the last 365 days.

What is eBay?
~ eBay is the world's biggest online marketplace; a place for buyers and sellers to come together and buy or sell almost anything!
~ A seller lists an item on eBay, from antiques to cars, books to sporting goods. The seller chooses to accept only bids for the item (an auction-style listing) or to offer the Buy It Now option, which allows buyers to purchase the item straight away at a fixed price.
~ In an online auction-style listing, the bidding opens at a price the seller specifies and remains on eBay for a certain number of days. Buyers then place bids on the item. When the listing ends, the buyer with the highest bid wins.
~ In a Buy It Now listing, the first buyer willing to pay the seller's price gets the item. Buying and selling on eBay is easy and it's fun.

Note:
All testers will need to create (or use their existing) eBay account and also have a PayPal account - if you don’t have an eBay account then you will need to create one before signing up.

All testers will need to be registered members of Mumsnet.
All testers will need to agree to list two items on eBay (for at least 14 days or more) which they would like to sell. We will send selected testers some guidance and support on how to add a listing.
Limited to 1000 testers. Sign up before 10th September at the latest (recruitment might close earlier than this). T&Cs apply - please read.
Listings must start between the 21st August and 30th September.
Selling and listing an item on eBay can and does incur small fees - for more info see here and there's a fee calculator here.

All testers will need to share feedback after they have completed their listing on a survey form (we will email you a link).

If you’re interested in taking part, please sign up here.

All those selected (if selected, you will be emailed by Mumsnet) and who go through the process of listing at least two items each via eBay and sharing their feedback on a survey by 16 October 2017 will be sent a £20 PayPay credit by eBay at the end of the project (by end of October) as well as being entered into a prize draw where one person will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list) from Mumsnet.

Thanks and good luck!

Standard T&Cs apply

I'll keep my eyes open for the credit, still not had mine yet.

I might sell again on eBay bit it was no where near as easy as selling on Facebook.

No credit here either

No credit here :(

I found it stressful and I only listed 4 things, mind you I made nearly £30 but I won't sell on ebay again.

Will we get an email to say credit added? Has anyone received anything yet?

Not received my credit yet :/

@AnnMumsnet Could you let us know when to expect the credit to be added please?

Now past October... no credit :(

I just checked my account and no credit has been added yet.

Oh. I never got a feedback survey :( @AnnMumsnet

@tellitlikeitispls I didn’t get it either and posted on here and Ann sent me a link via private message. Don’t think this one has run smoothly! My PayPal hasn’t been credited yet either.

Tut Tut eBay - October is gone! ;-) :-P

No credit here either

@AnnMumsnet, any update on when the credits will be issued?

Still no credit here, I did the final survey though without any problems has anyone received their credit yet ?

I don't think it's coming :/

@AnnMumsnet can you give us an idea of when we should receive the credit?

hi - re the £20 PayPal credit which is due to qualifying respondents for the eBay project. We have just found out that, unfortunately, the project manager at eBay (who needs to authorise the payments) has had to take some unexpected leave. We are hoping to be able to get the payments checked and looked at next week. So we ask that you please bear with us for now. AnnMumsnet

AnnMumsnet Of course - life happens. :-) Thank you for the update.

Thanks AnnMumsnet

Okidoke

Thanks for letting us know sounds like it can't be helped.

Thanks for the update

I think the time to complete the survey should have been longer so we could give feedback on the fees and how to pay them. Bits like that aren't easy to change on the mobile version of the site, or app

OK, did the sign up and completed it. Perfectly happy because I sold my items and got positive feedback, straightforward so far.
However, I am a bit annoyed at getting this from EBay
"Your eBay Seller Fees are due by your invoice due date. To keep your account in good standing, you must take steps to ensure the Current Balance due is paid by that date."
Yet they still have not bothered to pay me for taking part in this survey.
Really disappointed as I was quite happy with my dealings with them so far but survey payment was due by "end of October" and it's now 11 days overdue. I cannot believe that a company the size of eBay cannot sort this out and this does make me personally feel less likely to want to use them in the future

Thought I would have seen credit by now. Last update was 10 days ago. Has anyone received their credit?
