20% off Purchases above £20 on eBay (~ $40AUD), Capped to £50 off (~ $98AUD)

Hi all,

Thought I would pass this on from and it is expiring at Midnight UK Time:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/vouchers/20-off-ebay-using-promo-c…

I just tried it on a LG G4 and it brought the price down to AU $601.03 delivered (if people need a deal):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-LG-G4-H815-32GB-4G-LTE-Factor…

Easiest way I found was to search for the item on ebay.com.au then when you're on the item page, change the address to ebay.co.uk and follow on with that.

edit: turns out you can use it from the ebay.com.au site as well, thanks st33p!
Discount capped to around $98AUD in that case, based on a poor conversion rate.

Feel free to post any good deals if you find any as I don't have much time to search at the moment.

The limit as per link above is "Maximum discount of £50 (£250 spend)" and also limited to one transaction.

Thanks all!

      • Does that mean that it is working now in the UK but restricted for Australia? I'd like to see how it's resolved before I head to bed…

    "Guys, eBay finally called me back.

    I repeat do no proceed with buying the Item you want without the Code applying.

    They will not credit the money back to your paypal as they do not have that facility to access refunds for everyone's accounts. It's simply not possible she said. She also said different call agents are being misquoted different things but the Team dealing with the Code Limits will be adjusting that within the next 2 Hours and raising the code limit she said so It'll be accessible again shortly. It's good I triple checked with 3 Different agents as I was going to go ahead and order one in good faith that the Agent I spoke to before was giving me the truth but she seemed she knew was she was talking about as she's been aware of the code going down and the amount of call volume they've had because of it."

    • will it work with eBay Australia for the next 2 hours as well?

    • I just followed the instructions of one of the rep and went through the my purchase … damn it.

      Thanks for update…Surely it should be just an easy process of re-enabling the code and continue to run the campaign until midnite UK time. And, if you are lucky enough to use the code, then it should be honoured. End of the day, it's all about sales volume…Yes, you may have lost 20% in potential profit on each sale, but surely the revenue coming in would spike bigtime and make up for the "losses"…

    • Awesome news, thanks BlazinPast. Time to cart more stuff :)

    • @BlazinPast your the man, im gonna grab some redbull from the fridge looks like we gonna be up for few more hours

    • I'm camping out for the next 2 hours in hope that the code works again. Thanks for the info Blazin

    • I just got off the chat from a representative, and quoted your text.

      I'm just reading posts from other eBay users and they quote another operator

      We have got a confirmation from the promotions team. The phone operator might not have the updated information as it was still under discussion.

        What was the outcome of this?

        • They just said to do it and would get refunded at max 14 days later

      • Confirmation that the refunds will go through or that the code will be re-activated?!

        • Both

        • @rakkihizoku:

          Cool! The reply email to the chat is [email protected] … how are they going to read my email?

          I'll take advantage of the code being re-activated by buying more. They better refund me as they promised!

        • @Yanoflies: Although they probably wont.

          The chat goes on further, where i asked him why i couldn't add things to a cart.

          Then he asked me for the promotional email.

          Said i didn't get one; got the code from an American site ;)

          And he said the code was for UK only

          When i told him the Americans have reported profiting from the deal he said that was impossible…

        • @rakkihizoku:

          Really sucks, I asked the rep at least 5 times and she confirmed at least five times that the refund would be guaranteed. How do I complain if I don't get the refund?

          Lol.

        • @Yanoflies: If you send them the transcript saying they will honor it they should?

          According to #18, they can refuse to refund you the difference

          http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/open20/

    • Just saw this: "I'm afraid that the code will no longer be working as this is a technical issue on our end Jo."

      So who really knows what's going to happen. Seems like the staff are all being given different information and no one seems to know what's actually going on. I somewhat trust the phone call quote as they wouldn't bother calling you up promising that the code will be back up. No guarantees though

  • Hope they bring the code back.. got $673.85 worth of items in my cart right now.

    • You only get $100 max off right?

      I'm also standing by.

      • yeh but you can get up to $100 of multiple items you just have to check out at the same time, i made the mistake of buying one item and checking out, i had to make another ebay and paypal acccount to add other stuff, and when i was ready to checkout the code was deactivated, now waiting on re-activation

  • why is there no cart option on ebay.co.uk ?

    • "add to basket"

      • it doesnt have it on the uk ebay site , Just BUy it now and add to watchist add to collection
        Maybe its because i have it open in incognito window

    • You only get 'add to basket' on the uk site if the item is listed on ebay uk (main price in pounds). Try using the aus site instead.

    This offer is open to all eBay.co.uk registered users, who must be UK residents of 18 years of age or older.

    • What?

  • If the offer comes back will it work on the .com.au site or just the uk one?

    • I'm not too sure the code will work for us anymore because the terms and conditions state "This offer is open to all eBay.co.uk registered users, who must be UK residents of 18 years of age or older" so I'm not sure if they disabled the code to ensure that only UK residents are allowed to use the code. It seems that every chat representative is giving a different solution. Some are offering unique codes, some are telling people to continue with their purchase and the money will be credited to their accounts and some are telling people to wait for the code to come back online. Ebay has to get their shit together haha.

      • It's like the $10 eBay voucher all over again :)

        • Still waiting for mine lol

        • u mean paypal?

        • @CVonV:

          Ah yep, it was paypal wasn’t it.

  • how do we get onto ebay chat ? I can only get pone number?!

    • Not sure how the others got to live chat/phone call/call back…the service is closed for the day/nite.

      • Had to do mine via UK

        • I couldn't select +61 on the UK site, so could only chat.

          Vaya doesn't do international calls either, so couldn't ring their UK number.

        • Where on the .co.uk site? when i click contact us, just wants to take to phone number

          theres no option for live chat well i cant find it

        • @rakkihizoku:

          That a boy.. .didnt come across that before…

  • New rumour just in. According to FB people are reporting being told by Ebay reps that the code was not meant to be sent out in the first place. Seems that there could well be some panic in the Ebay camp.

    • +1

      ebay customer service/promotions team is probably waiting for the person in charge to make a decision (or sign off on what to do next). That person is probably in a meeting or asleep (depending on which time zone they work/reside in)…

      All I know is that I am entering CTWENTY every 30 secs waiting for my order to go thru… :)

      • So still chanc it will go through? you going through co.uk or au?

  • Are we saying some of the discount applied might get rejected? In best case scenario refunded?

    • I don't think that'll be the case. If they intend to do that, they'll have to send out notice to the sellers really soon before they start shipping stuff out once working hours starts.

  • +2

    Live chat representative tells me:

    Once this chat session ends, you will receive an automated email. Simply, reply back with the details above.

    Turns out I cannot reply to the automated email since it is a do not reply email. [email protected]

  • 1 hour and 25mins already passed since the 2 hour announcement, still not working

    • Honestly, there doesn't seem to be any new signs of this deal working again. I think it's safe to give up but it's up to you. They might do something in the near future to make it up to all the UK genuine customers who missed out.

      • the thing is I had the items that i wanted to purchase in my watch list from a few days ago, but i had to create another ebay account because i had already mistakenly checked out with 1 item on my original ebay account, the timing of this deal couldn't have been better, but im so devastated that i didn't checkout fast enough with my second account after adding all the stuff i needed.

  • I just asked if they would be extending the promo, and they said yes, just waiting for promo team to get back..

    said just buy and will re-inbirse within 14 days, But not uk account so not taking risk

    • too risky specially for me $1200 of items, ill keep waiting till 3
