MOD EDIT - PAYMENTS ARE COMING THRU SEE LAST PAGE OF THREAD FOR REPORTS ON THIS based on $50AUD… Dec 17th

The title is self-explanatory, icing on the cake for those looking to buy from the good selection of vendors overseas. Not sure but you could probably double-dip with the agoda.com $50US cashback for $200US spent using paypal, I'd check with them first if your eligible for it - I'd also be quick cause it expires on the "edit" now 3rd NOV 09. The blurb for the offer -:
<i>
- PayPal will give you $20.00 AUD cash back, paid into your PayPal account, with a minimum purchase of $50.00 AUD (excluding tax and shipping) ("Offer").
- Only one cash back per transaction.
- The maximum total cash back amount allowed per PayPal account is $100.00 AUD (ie you can claim the cash back offer on five transactions only during the Promotion Period).
- The cash back will be deposited into your PayPal account no later than December 04, 2009.
- Offer applies to purchases at one of the following merchants: Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Cloggs, Shoebuy.com, Karma Loop, Bidz.com, Bling Bling Online, Sasa, Eastbay, UKSoccerShop, SimplyHike.co.uk, SimplyScuba.com, ChainReactionCycles.com, Wiggle Ltd, Digital Rev, Deal Extreme, Zynga, FocalPrice, Tiny Deal, Taobaodao.com, AllPosters, BetterWorldBooks, Overstock.com, PetCo, Hello Baby, Agoda, BangCD.com, Seiya Japan, Hobby-Wing.com (the " qualifying Merchants").
- Purchases must be made on one of the Merchant's websites and paid for using PayPal.
- The following transactions are excluded from the Offer: PayPal Mobile transactions, gift certificate payments, gift card purchases and payments made when you are not logged into your PayPal account.</i>

Thats pretty much the important stuff, the whole thing is on the URL, if you need to,

Enjoy!

              @whichtyler: Damn. I wished I'd waited for a reply.

              I would suggest that people change to AUD for the purposes of this promotion…it's not obvious whether or not you have to pay in AUD.

  • Temjin on 23/10/2009 - 13:08

    This is an awesome deal!!!! Beside dealextreme, what are others' opinions of other retailers? Especially the gadgets one as their items are fairly similar to what dealextreme have, and include prices. So what are the reasons to stop with others?

  • hatoo on 23/10/2009 - 13:42

    I have a question: for eg: it lists overstock.com, so I assume where it lists overstock.com as one of the merchants to buy from for the $20 cashback, that i could buy anything from that site then? because the terms and conditions only state:

    -Purchases must be made on one of the Merchant's websites and paid for using PayPal.
    -The following transactions are excluded from the Offer: PayPal Mobile transactions, gift certificate payments, gift card purchases and payments made when you are not logged into your PayPal account.

    So if it lists the site, apart from the exclusions, then anything can be purchased?
    just wanting to make sure

  • AyjeofSpades on 23/10/2009 - 14:06

      All chinese phones are GSM. The chinese copies don't have any 3G phones. Network 3 is the name and I'm pretty sure that they will run both 3G/GSM.

      The only problem is that is illegal to import these chinese phones because they do not meet the Australian standard A-Tick for phones. Most of these chinese copies do not meet any standards EVEN FOR CHINA. They have high electromagnetic radiation.

      Also alot of the phones have cloned/fake IMEI numbers which means that it could be blocked on some networks.

      You can still probably get away with ordering it except it's your own choice if you want to risk your health or the phone being blocked.

      • cyssero on 24/10/2009 - 00:10

        3 told me the USIM they use will not work in a non-3G phone. You cannot use it in a 2G/GSM phone. So says their reps!

    • BOC14 on 23/10/2009 - 21:09

      Paypal takes AUD out of your bank/credit card and converts it into USD to satisfy DX. Therefore if your purchase is < USD$50 but converts to be >= AUD$50, you are still eligible.

  • ij on 23/10/2009 - 20:29

    So can you get cashback 5 times from 1 seller (using 5 different transactions)? E.g. If i buy a pair of shoes from eastbay in 1 transaction over $50 pay with paypal and conclude transaction, and then buy another pair over $50 to get another cash back.

      Seems we can't.

      Eligibility to this promotion will be determined by PayPal in its sole discretion.

      Seems that you just have to make an eligible purchase, and PayPal will automagically deposit the $20 to you by December 04, 2009.

      PayPal reserves the right to cancel, suspend or modify part or the Offer at any time without notice, for any reason in its sole discretion. The Offer cannot be resold or transferred. No cash alternatives or prizes will be substituted.

      The only thing stopping them from screwing us over is a PR nightmare (and perhaps some legal barb-wire).

      I was wondering this too…..This deal has been posted on dozens of different forums across the net…I hope paypal have budgeted for the response and don't just pull the pin if the response becomes overwhelming (they have already made a provision for this in their terms and conditions).

      I wondering where this deal was first promoted? There is no link to it from any of the PayPal home pages, including www.paypal-offers.com.au .

      It is also quite unusual to run this sort of promotion without a promo-code. This means Oz customers who buy from any of these stores (via paypal), and whom hadn't heard of this offer, will mysteriously receive a $20 rebate in the first week of Dec. This is quite an unusual process…..if not unprecedented!

      • mrbean_oz on 24/10/2009 - 00:11

    • whichtyler on 24/10/2009 - 15:13

      I don't think anyone knows for sure. As the offer says you must spend 50 AUD, I'm paying in AUD rather than the currency of the site.

  • Zippy7 on 24/10/2009 - 17:07

    Hey guys.
    I just rang Paypal Australia, and the guy there could not confirm this offer was valid anymore.
    Just thought to warn people…
    It could have expired by now?

    • kimmik on 24/10/2009 - 17:35

      Great work, thanks for ringing them.

      what did you ask and what did he say exactly?

      As long as its not a hoax, that's the main thing i dont wnat to hear. otherwise, the conditions listed are pretty clear cut/reassuring.

      • Zippy7 on 24/10/2009 - 18:02
        +1

        Well, as I said, he could not confirm that it was valid.
        He stated that the only offical offers from Paypal Australia would be from the paypal.com.au website.

        I thought he was quite unhelpful, in truth.

        I did a whois, and it does imply that website is owned by Paypal Australia.

        But there is nothing to guarantee that I would get my money. Don't want to spend $50 on stuff expecting to get it for $30, but then not get the money back…
        I am skeptical, and not reassured that I would get this moneyback.

        • ash2000 on 24/10/2009 - 21:46
          +2

          My concern is, unless the PayPal deal is sent to you via your registered PayPal address then you risk being ineligible.

          This was certainly the case with this $10 PayPal voucher deal here:

          http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/17284

          Unlike the current $20 deal, the $10 voucher was to be issued immediately after purchase, thus users found out straight away if they were eligible, by which time it was too late anyway!

          That all said, I'll probably end up taking a punt and buy something from Deal-Extreme! It the $20 doesn't turn up, so be it!

          • shiba on 24/10/2009 - 22:54

            @ash2000: I think the previous deal's terms mentioned that it is for selected paypal users, whereas for this one, it says :
            * This offer is open to Australian PayPal customers who: 1) have an AU PayPal account in good standing; 2) complete a qualifying purchase from one of the qualifying Merchant's websites during the Promotion Period. Eligibility to this promotion will be determined by PayPal in its sole discretion.
            So i think we don't have to receive email in order to be eligible.

            • ash2000 on 25/10/2009 - 00:50
              +1

              @shiba: The other thing that is unusual is that the retailers themselves aren't promoting it on their web pages.

              It is very easy (and very common) to detect an AU IP's, and trigger a pop-up targeted ad promoting the $20 off, but such a thing is nowhere to be seen.

              Anyway, lets hope it's unusual, but genuine!!!

              • shiba on 25/10/2009 - 01:33

                @ash2000: yea. let's pray :)
                i made two purchases on sasa expecting to get $40 back. i will be sad if it doesnt!

                • Zippy7 on 25/10/2009 - 20:54

                  @shiba: Well - I have thought it through a few times and the sticking point is this sentence.

                  • Eligibility to this promotion will be determined by PayPal in its sole discretion.

                  This is the make/break sentence, and I for one, will believe that it is not open to one and all. This is the get out clause for paypal. I cannot imagine how anyone could fund this 40% rebate. I can't believe the retailer could support this, nor would paypal charge so much that it could afford to subsidise purchases to such a degree.

                  It's a great deal for anyone who qualifies, but I'm really thinking that this offer is definitely not open to everyone.

                  • nats on 26/10/2009 - 00:02

                    @Zippy7: I thought qualifications are clearly listed. As for the cashback amount its $100 in total, some AU Paypal account holders got a 10% discount incentive to open an eBay account and purchase to get max. $100 discount on the item (paid by PayPal), I tend to think it has alot to do with our good economic standing.

                    So I say read the terms and conditions carefully, and count your lucky stars, we live in a great country :)

  • thelateshow on 25/10/2009 - 11:27

    A minority of these websites are scamming you by charging higher prices for Australian customers e.g Overstock.com charging $149 USD for a Cannon A480 on their international website, and $108 USD for it on their American website. bangcd.com is doing it aswell. In both cases you are unable to order at the US price if you are an Australian.

    • zhenjie on 25/10/2009 - 11:50
      +3

      Ok, so a few stores charge higher prices. But the majority are not doing that. Don't think it justifies a negative when only one or two stores are charging higher prices (they probably have a reason for it as well).

      • thelateshow on 25/10/2009 - 13:29

        My point is that Paypal should not be supporting websites that have much higher prices for Australian customers as opposed to American, in Australia it is illegal under the trade practices act to have dual pricing schemes. Someone seems to have deleted my comment about this so I will say again, as a warning to others, that the sites I know of charging much higher prices for Australians than Americans are overstock.com and cdbang.com

        • leiiv on 25/10/2009 - 14:24

          Thanks for the warning, but why give a negative vote since there are other good vendors such as DX.. unless it is confirmed that paypal will not honor this deal..

        • zhenjie on 25/10/2009 - 16:11

          Overstock has increased pricing for international customers for yonks now. Its nothing to do with the Paypal-Offers bargain. In the end its upto CONSUMERS and not PAYPAL to determin whether they should buy from a business or not. Don't like overstock dont BUY from them.

          Once again, I dont think its nice to tarnish a good bargain as a result of 2 retailers.

        Nobody has got this deal yet………..
        The reply from paypal below is less than reassuring…….
        It's not worth a neg, but until there's something a bit more substantial from paypal, I'm pretty neutral about this.

        I might be mildly paranoid……but I'm a big believer in "if it sounds too good to be true….etc etc"
        I'm certainly not gonna go out of my way to spend 50 bucks to save 20…..that still makes me 30 down on the day, with a houseful of crap that I didn't need. I am convinced there are some on here that would buy a dog turd if it came with free shipping…….

    What have you guys bought in the past that you're really happy with? If you guys can make suggestions that'll be great, thanks!
