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.

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.

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!

@AnnMumsnet is there any update yet? It seems to be taking ages - as Feathers said, this is only going to put people off using eBay again which is a shame.

hi - am trying to find out for you

Has anyone else still not received their credit?

I agree with the others. Surely if someone is off there must be someone else who can authorise the payment? No problem it being delayed by a couple of days - these things happen. But we're now halfway through November. Also, has the £300 voucher been won yet or is that delayed too?

Also I was hoping to use the credit towards a birthday present. It's now been so delayed I've had to give up on that idea otherwise I wouldn't get the item delivered in time.

I agree Feathersapphire. I had my eBay bill weeks ago and paid them something like £5. So not really on for them to not be bothered to pay what they promised. As HUGE as eBay is, you would really think they have staff to take over from someone else?? It's been almost 2 weeks past the date now.

Still waiting here too

Surely eBay have more than one person that can do this. I am starting to wonder if eBay have changed their minds. This situation doesn’t bode well for me ever using them again.

Not good brand promotion at all.

hi - massive apologies from MN for the issues with this - and not being able to update you all very quickly - there's been a lot going on behind the scenes to try and sort this for all qualifying participants.
Please see below for a message from eBay -

“Thank you all for participating in this product test and we appreciate your feedback and support. There has been a delay in sending the promotional payments due to an unforeseen technical difficulty but we think it is now resolved. The payments should start showing in your PayPal accounts within the next 5-10 working days. To say sorry for that delay, you will receive additional £5. We hope you enjoyed our new experience and to see you back again.”

I was still feeling frustrated about the delay until I found the breast pump I've had my eye on for half price at Mothercare & discovered that you can pay with Paypal - £100 breast pump for £25, this makes me very happy!
