eBay 15% off Sitewide Offer When You Spend $75 or More (Max $300 Discount)

11460
CODE15

Just received a call this morning, while I was on the way to work, from a trusted source that was right in the past about (3 out 5 times).

They are claiming that their friend's hairdresser sister was walking her dog with her best friend last night and her best friend told them that there will be 15% Site wide. Possibly starting today. I have no further details so don't ask.

It seems somewhat hard to believe due to the number of coupons that were floated this month but I thought I'd share it anyway. I possibly risk the largest number of negs if it's not coming to fruition but I'll take the punt to give my friends at ozbargain a heads up.

I am getting my cart content lined up….

Remember to use cashrewards…

          @kheob: Ok, ebay support team says - I have checked and found that it is a known issue and our team is working on it. pleaSe do not worry , it will be resolve soon. So when i asked should i place another order, he said no. I called up Paypal, he can see an attempt to charge but fail, ask me to place order again. I am torn between now, ebay better honour this.

    • same here.

    Keep on getting "Something went wrong. Please try to check out again" with Error codes: 70245 70199 when clicking on Proceed to Checkout. Been trying for the last 30 minutes…

    • That was happening to me too. Just keep trying I guess. Eventually it went through. Site's getting hammered I'm guessing.

    • Same

    • ebay says this is paypal issue. Yeah keep trying. Someone replied to login to paypal account first, didnt work for me but worth to try. I finally select the postage instead click collect and upon check out only change it, got thru. But haven't received confirmation whether the purchase is successful.

      • +1

        can't be a paypal issue. i can't even input the code successfully because of "something going wrong"

    • yea getting same messages - on another note last night bought an ipad and paypal charged me twice called them and now they said 3-4 buiness days till the amount is taken off hold from my credit card sigh

      • At least you got the item. I was charged and didn't get the order completed. Now I have used my discount code and am out of pocket 1K until the refund clears (up to 10days according to PayPal).

  • +2

    what time this sale end? midnight AEST I presume?

    • 11:59pm

  • Yeah, Just Purchased :D

  • +1

    Getting error message during checkout :(

    Error codes: 70245 70199

    • Yeah, same bloody here! Was just about to finalize my TV purchase and it crashed on me! Hope eBay fixes the issue soon.

    • Same. Eventually went through just now after a few dozen tries..

  • +17

    I need a lay down, wife just used ebay and did not put the code in. I am starting to feel sick.

    • hopefully it was below $100 :o

    • sorry man - i feel for you

    • Presumably no Pricepal or cashback either?
      Don't worry, my mrs sometimes does that too :)

      • Get an upgrade or at least update guys.

    • +1

      When you get to the river styx, and you're $45 short of a ferry ticket, you'll know whose to blame

  • Ebay and Paypal are running very slowly.
    Had quite a few problems with Chrome (not accepting code), switched to MS Edge and had a couple of other problems.
    Just had to keep trying and eventually the code was accepted and went through.
    Got 4 paypal receipt emails, no note to sellers displayed, and nothing yet from Ebay…

    • check your CC - i got three receipts last night and got charged twice

  • Thanks OP. Just got a Samsung Note 7 (new stock) for less than $1100 (including Cash Rewards).

    • they are still selling them?

  • +2

    I can not get this code to work. Earlier it worked and I would get 'something went wrong' error, now the code doesnt work at all.

  • +1

    This is a mess ! Put 5 items in my cart. Paid them all. But for some reason I got duplicate charge for 1 item. What the ??

  • +2

    ebays website keeps crashing when I try checking out. what a shite website.

    • +1

      Yeah +1 same experience.

      I'll just go get it physically in store without 15% off then…

  • Code applied, checkout error message, didn't go to paypal page, transaction went through without 15% discount, damn eBay!

  • errors, aussie seller, usd listed

    ebay can EAD

  • Got through easily on mobile site of eBay. Forza Horizon 3 for $64 :)

  • omg is ebay dying, keep getting this error msg: Something went wrong. Please try to check out again.

    Edit: just read everyones messages above about getting this crap msg.

    • Same error message here. I just bought something as well. If this 15% discount doesn't go through because of an error I will be very disappointed

  • This happened to me earlier.
    I had 4 items when I checked out and only two went through. Had to use someone else's paypal account to use CODE15 again.

    • it is better that way rather than ask Ebay to credit. It will take weeks if you lucky.

  • Sorry for the late message but when it says does not include cars does that apply to car parts as well?

    EDIT: Finally got through and discounts applied

  • +2

    same here, i thought it was just me but they seem to be overloaded.
    made my final transaction 30 minutes ago but nothing in paypal.
    SOME items are in purchase history but dont' show as paid yet and others seem missing…
    no card transaction either, they must have some technical issues

    reason enough to extend for another 24hrs and add another 5% bonus discount…

    • Yes due to this debacle, defintely need to extend it, remove the minimum spend and allow multiple transactions.

  • +1

    On a PC I kept getting "Something went wrong. Please try to check out again". Eventually got to checkout screen but then I got "This code can't be applied to some of your items"…
    Switch to mobile it checkout smoothly with code and cashreward.

    • is it just m.ebay.com.au ?
      I literally cannot be bothered doing it on my phone over my laptop :(

      • I did it on my phone.

        • +1

          you can use cashrewards on the phone?

        • @sintro: Android phone browser (Chrome) not the eBay app. CR brings up ebay mobile site and checkout so I assume it should be ok

        • @sintro: i know my reply is too late now, but yes you can. just be careful if you already have the ebay app installed as it will bounce you through to the app. you need go back to the cashrewards redirect page, hold down the button until you get a menu option to open another web browser tab and carry on from there.

    table flipped

    • hahahhah

    • Same issue here :(

    • i was raging as well. people wondering wtf was wrong with me. seriously ebay, upgrade your servers!

  • Went through ok on the phone but purchases have not appeared yet, all payments went through

  • It's gone through!
    Managed to get the code, and process to the final page which stated

    View order details. We'll send you an email confirmation soon.
    You saved AU $xx.xx on this purchase
    Estimated delivery: Thu. 29 Sep.

    Hopefully the email has also come through

  • +1

    Something went wrong. Please try to check out again.

    and now my card is blocked… i'm going to bed

  • If you're having trouble, it could be due to having different delivery sources of items in the cart i.e. some are post, some are click and collect.
    I changed it back to post then the site allowed me to go onto the next page, where i was able to enter the code and also change it back to click and collect.

    • +1

      thanks but definitely something wrong with ebay at the moment. good night all.

  • I removed all my overseas items and that managed to do the trick.. Phew

    EDIT: Its now letting me redeem the code again

  • Couldn't get through to checkout on my PC browser - tried the mobile site.

    2 of the 6 harddrives I was ordering went through, but the other 4 didn't. All were on the same checkout page and done at the same time. All Australian dollars and sellers, all the same delivery method.

    The paypal confirmation email is pretty clear but the ebay confirmation email is all messed up. And code can't be reused so I can't try again either. :(

  • Had 3 items, only 1 went through (<45$) and voucher got applied. Well, guess what? I was not needed the other 2 items anyway! :P

  • Praise the Lord, after trying 2374 times it finally worked on my phone.

  • saved 85% :)

  • I had the error as well but it all went though after a few tries.

    Normally wouldn't wait until the last minute to purchase stuff but because the code is for 1 transaction (rather than the usual 3), I wanted to make sure I have not missed anything by using the code early.

  • I'm glad I didn't anything LOL..I won over my temptation!

  • I bought a few things and the code wouldn't work, then all of a sudden I got the confirmation that the orders went through, but got charged the full price. Who do I contact? Paypal or eBay?

    • ebay first. it's their mess.

  • was on ebay.com and made a purchase for a couple of items, applied code and only 1 item was discounted. It doesnt mention it anywhere, just worked it out when I realised the discount was too low for 15% off. I would urge people to double check they got the full 15% off for all items. Turns out it was only applying discount on one item in the cart. Contacted ebay and got a $20 coupon for a future purchase (2 weeks expiry) - not the same thing but it'll do

    • How did you contact them?

      • Top left of the page there is a bar, click on 'Help&contact' chose buying from the list on the right then paying for item->trouble paying for item and at the bottom request a call back

  • Just before midnight I processed order for $311.55.

    It said "Success" but also some message about "being processed"

    Items are gone from Shopping Cart, and have been billed by Paypal. Nothing in Purchase History.

    I click Order Details on the Success page and it shows:

    Order total
    Subtotal AU $311.55
    Postage Free
    Total voucher amount -AU $46.71
    Total AU $218.13
    PAY NOW

    LOL - that ain't right $311.55 less $46.71 is $264.84 (what I was billed)

    And I am not paying again.

    So yeah, it's broken.

    • OK - it's finally processed now… all good.

      Dunno what went wrong, probably all you guys doing last minute buys like me who crashed the site.

      • Chinese hackers

  • +1

    Ended up getting a 128gb rose gold iphone 6S for $1079 down to $917 just before deal expired.

    • nice one, which seller?

      • seller was "ausluck"

  • I just got my multi item transaction all reversed/refunded at 3am. Very annoying

  • Hmm. 9 items in cart last night. Purchased with code.
    Multiple emails come in from paypal (incomplete cart in each).
    This morning, I find I only had 7 items purchased, not the 9.
    Seems 2 items still in my cart.

    There is always next time I guess…

    • Yes that's what happened to me, dodgey website.

      • Just bought 3 items. All back in the cart this morning. Hold times are 40 minutes and being cut off left right and center. Guess it wasn't only me.

        • Poor form, let us know what their explaination is.
          Push for CODE15 extension!

        • Often waiting on hold is not worth your time.
          If you can wait, there'll be next time.
          The deals are coming thick and fast - just organise the basket and buy earlier (that's what I'll do next time).

        • @sintro: :/ They didn't explain. They did say on the livechat (once I got through) that they will manually refund me the 15%, just purchase the items again.

          I have purchased again, waiting for the refund now (5-10 working days)

    • I had 2x high pried items ordered ~$1k at 11pm last night… Paypal receipt received immediately, I can see the amounts on my credit card too.

      At 2am Ebay informed payment could not be processed (but Paypal showed payment has been processed? never happened before on Ebay for me), items bounced back into cart.

      Sent them a query to see what they can do… not expecting anything

      • Yeah same issue here with a full cart on a last minute cart checkout,

        Did you give ebay a call? I tried a paypal call, didn't go anywhere

        Never seen ebay fail to process via paypal before

        I might give ebay a call soon after the workday

        • Didn't give them a call, no reply from message yet… so I guess they just going t ignore it.

          Did you have any luck calling them?

        • @hweita:

          So my paypal receipts from 21 Sep showed up in 2 emails for different amounts each time (not the 1.7k as it should be -but 1.62k and 1.68k)

          I gave them a call after lunch just then ;

          They can do the '1 time courtesy' like previously where they'll manually credit you back the amount after you do a checkout provided they can see it in the purchase history and I can provide them the paypal transaction ids / etc- however the items are not appearing in my ebay purchase history I did receive the paypal receipt for the correct amount this time.

          edit: items appeared just fine and just rang them back up to set up the credit back to paypal amount which they say may take up to 21 working days- from experience it was shorter (i think check the sitewide code post from last christmas/new year)

          edit: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/3343724/redir here for reference

    Would have loved for this deal to be extended an extra day

  • Thanks OP. Been meaning to buy a second fridge for months now and I am glad I procrastinated, saved myself $200!

  • Didn't know it expired already. took ages to find items i want and now code expired…

  • +1

    Unfortunate pattern in those reporting reversed/refunded transaction which saw no honest explanation for that failure. Does it happen when this promos budget has run out rather than eBay's midnight? In effect, not much different from that of last stopped-early mega sale but perhaps this time capturing bit more of data..

    With even backup lined funding sources ready, got no different an outcome; zero bought.

    • yes

    • The cancelled transactions arent related to the promo, that just business as usual for paypal. They are known to screw people over with no explanations provided.

      To be honest, it really doesnt make sense that no other platforms seriously compete with outdated and overpriced systems like Ebay and Paypal provide.

    • No, must've been a system hiccup due to everyone using it at the last moment if you spot the comments in the theead from 11pm onwards

      Check my comments on the previous page eBay support can sort you out

  • Anyone who has errors with the code post check out, have you received your 15% refund from ebay yet?
