The Offer
eBay released a targeted offer for selling on eBay.
- Get an eBay coupon of up to $50 for selling on eBay.
- The coupon will be for the amount the items sold, up to $50. For example, if you sell items for $15.50, you’ll get a $15.50 coupon. If you sell items for $50 or more, you’ll get a $50 coupon.
The Fine Print
- Must list item by April 30
- Item must sell by May 10; an item is defined as sold when it is paid for in full by a buyer
- The value of the Coupon will be 100% of the total amount that is sold, excluding shipping, handling, and taxes; max $50
- Offer only available for those who receive and activate the offer
- Only items listed after the seller activates the offer will qualify for the Coupon
Our Verdict
Check out the landing page and see if it lets you activate the offer. No luck for me – I got, “Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.” No luck even on my backup account that never sold anything.
If you did get the offer, it’s easy to sell something on eBay. If you don’t have anything to sell, simply buy a $50 Walmart gift card and sell it for $50. You can buy a $50 Walmart gift card from walmart.com and they ship it quickly. In my experience, a $50 Walmart gift card will sell easily for $50. You’ll lose $5-$10 in selling fees and shipping fees, a small price to pay for $50 eBay credit. Ship with tracking (costs around $3) if you’re nervous. More details on selling gift cards on eBay can be found in The Complete Guide to Selling your Unwanted Gift Cards for Cash.
