    I have a bit of a feeling that this offer excludes sellers on ebay. Thanks for nothing Paypal.

    One word of warning about ebay vouchers is that if the item is returned or refunded, ebay take the refunded money for themselves. There's no point returning an item for credit. Replacement might work, but refunds go to ebay, so your effort is 100% wasted. There is a real air if easy come, easy go if an item bought on a promotional voucher goes missing or is broken in delivery.

    • lplau on 23/10/2016 - 10:47

      If its an actual unique code if you refund before the coupon expiry it would enable the coupon to work again.

      Thats what happened when i had a groupon ebay coupon and had to do a refund.

      • ninjarina on 28/10/2016 - 12:43

        If any amount is refunded you won't be able to use it since the coupon is valid for ONE transaction only. I just had this happen today. I ordered a book which apparently wasn't available after I paid. They refunded me what I paid with my own money plus what the coupon paid for. I tried to use what was left on the coupon and it's invalid.

        • lplau on 28/10/2016 - 16:45

          Lodge a complaint and their marketing department would usually be able to issue you another one as a goodwill gesture.

  • Micky14 on 22/10/2016 - 08:16

    I got 20

  • misosuperdomo on 22/10/2016 - 08:33

    I got a 20, 10 and 20 through various accounts. Has anyone tried to use multiple vouchers for one purchase?

    Edit: Assume the T&Cs #12 "Not to be used in conjunction with any other eBay or PayPal coupon/voucher." answers this. Anyone tried it tho?

  • sal78 on 22/10/2016 - 09:10

        I had the same issue. Called paypal. Said ebay issue. Called ebay said paypal issue. called paypal back who stated that it was a verified problem and will be in contact over the next 24 to 48 hours and my account had been forwarded to the resolution dept. I had my responsible adult voice on and they just kept saying sorry for the inconvenience and that they would be in contact. Long story short, they've sent out groupon codes, not paypal codes, hence the dramas on ebay. Hope this helps. If you have a voucher, i suggest waiting a day to use it. :)

    I tried the voucher as soon as I got the email to make sure it was real. Worked fine and took $50 off the total, but I was only testing the code and didn't go through with the purchase. Now i am getting an error saying the code isn't ready like some others in here…

    • skyybluu on 22/10/2016 - 12:21

      Hmm I didn't even get through to having the code work at all.
      Called PayPal they said it's Ebay's issue.
      Now on the phone to Ebay - will let you know what happens and wether its worth a call to them.

          Ah very interesting yeah so had the same rigamarole - Ebay said it's PayPals issue so I told her to call PayPal for me (using responsible adult voice of course). She tried and had no luck so she went and spoke to her manager who said something along the lines of a marketing error. Said to try again in 48 hours otherwise to call back.

        • skyybluu on 22/10/2016 - 20:43

          I just tried my $50 code then and it worked - I did clear my cache first though and it went through no issue :)

    Don't bother calling them, took me twenty minutes to confirm with Paypal it was a legitimate email, they kept saying it could be a fraudulent message, I provided her my code and she quickly changed tune and said it was due to the codes not being activated

    It's a bug in the system, they will fix it within 24 to 48 hours

    bad experience last 2 times I used this code. Both time bought few things on one transaction and some item has to be refunded due to faulty item or non-shipment. Every time Ebay took their portion from the refund I have to explain with 10 emails until I can get to use the credit again. May not worth all the efforts.

  • Saveyouabit on 22/10/2016 - 23:37

        it's from <[email protected]>. Did you delete it from your 'deleted items' folder? If so, it may no longer be retrievable.

        Just curious, why did you think this was a phishing scam? It's a code you put into your ebay shopping cart- if it's legit, it'll work; otherwise it won't- no login required.

    Used my $50 one last night. One purchase from a local seller, two other purchases from different sellers from overseas, voucher applied and worked (all were small time sellers). Looks like vouchers can be used on any purchases local or overseas. Suspect like a few others this promo was to get inactive or very irregular (like me) ebayers to use the service more. And not regular users. Oh well thanks ebay and paypal!!

    • Ozgrabber on 23/10/2016 - 20:13

      So we can buy from different sellers??
      I was in the perception that $50 must be used with single seller

      • smurfinaus on 23/10/2016 - 22:21

        Can only tell you what i did — three separate and different sellers , added each product into cart, one combined transaction, applied voucher. Didnt have to pay a cent. Transaction confirmed.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/10/2016 - 11:31

    Does this $50 voucher have to be used in a single transaction, or can you buy something less than $50 now and purchase another item using the same code later on?

  • MrFrugalSpend on 25/10/2016 - 09:08

    Paypal seem to think we are dumb enough to believe it is 'random' (not targeting their infrequent customers) - I emailed and asked about where I can find a voucher from and below is the reply:

    I apologise if the automated response did not answer your enquiry.

    I really appreciate that you have been a member of PayPal since 200[x]. However, the PayPal system randomly sends vouchers as gifts to our members.

    Looking at your PayPal account, I can see that you have already set your account to receive promotional emails. Rest assured that you should be able to receive promotional emails on eligible purchases.

    I trust that I have address your concern.

    Thank you for being part of the PayPal community.

    At least they were pleasant about it, but I still think its unwise when a company decides to reward new or infrequent customers, without doing anything for the frequent ones.

    • blablabla23 on 25/10/2016 - 22:10

      Paypal seem to think we are dumb enough to believe it is 'random' (not targeting their infrequent customers)

      active paypal user here (since 2011; multiple transactions weekly) and got a $25 voucher so not likely due to account inactivity

      • MrFrugalSpend on 26/10/2016 - 00:10

        Perhaps you use PayPal mostly for non-eBay?

        Plenty of people on here suggesting the most active accounts with eBay / Paypal combined use aren't getting the $50 voucher at least. I've been a member for like 11-12 years and can't remember getting a targeted gift voucher from them in that time.

        Perhaps the $25 is for medium-level ebay / paypal use

        • blablabla23 on 26/10/2016 - 00:32

          Perhaps you use PayPal mostly for non-eBay?

          that's correct - my ebay purchases are usually months apart. However this voucher is not tied to my account - which IMO defeats the purpose of engaging inactive customers (if that was the intention of this promotion). FWIW, my paypal and ebay email addresses are different.

        • Ash Bowden on 27/10/2016 - 11:40

          and the $0 voucher is the kick-in-the-nuts reward for their loyal users who are the ones lining their pockets.

  • jl70 on 25/10/2016 - 20:35

    Can the voucher be used after applying a discount code (eg. the 20% off Bing Lee sale code starting tomorrow?). I'm under the impression it can't but want to confirm if anybody knows please?

    • blablabla23 on 25/10/2016 - 22:11

      ebay only allows 1 code per transaction - no code-stacking, ever.

      • jl70 on 26/10/2016 - 05:00

        Ok, thanks! :)
