During Happy Hour, use your mobile to buy an item on eBay.com.au and also pay for it with PayPal, and you'll receive 50% off the purchase price, including shipping cost, up to a maximum refund of $50.

Be among the first 5,000 to register between 12 noon Wednesday 22nd and 12 noon Thursday 23rd September AEST. Also, make sure you have both a PayPal email address and an eBay User ID. And if you miss out on Mobile Happy Hour you'll still go in the draw to win one of five $1,000 prizes* to be paid to your PayPal account.

    PRIZES Happy Hour 50% Off Prize

    1. The Happy Hour 50% Off Prize Major Prize Winners will receive 50% offthe total price of one purchase (including shipping up to a maximum of $50) made on the website www.ebay.com.au through a mobile phone or through the eBay Inc. mobile phone application if the purchase is:
      1. made between the period 12:00pm and 1:00pm on Friday 24 September 2010 AEST ("Happy Hour");
      2. made through the eBay.com.au ID number submitted on the Registration Form;
      3. paid with the Happy Hour 50% Off Prize Major Prize Winner's PayPal account (that was submitted on the Registration Form) through a mobile phone.

    I couldn't find anything about having to use a paypal app or m.paypal.com.au in the terms and conditions.

    Did anyone else find anything in there?

    I see they may have tweeted about going to m.paypal.com.au to make payment, after buying on eBay.com.au and using a pin … but it's not actually in the terms and conditions.

    Nor is it in the terms and conditions that we have to have access to tweets, nor the tweet location.

    So … I'm hoping they won't try to enforce anything that was outside the terms and conditions :)

    Even if they tweeted 'cos they were hoping people would do something a particular way.

    • BelLikesABarg on 24/09/2010 - 12:16

      so would you think that I could pay with my paypal app but not log in using mobile number and pin, but rather use username and password?
      bcos my mobile number is asking for area code, but then doesn't work..

      • SomeGuyOnOzB on 24/09/2010 - 12:30

        I'm afraid my phone does not have a paypal app and I can't tell you for sure what it is they want :(

        I can tell you that, when I registered my mobile, I used +61 before the 4(etc).

        Others said 61 does not work, but maybe they did not use the + sign

    • promisetolove on 24/09/2010 - 13:16

      Well i just completed my purchase and payment via my iphone using the t&c as instructions.
      I checked with ebay live chat and they said i can pay with my paypal account the normal way. So I did, by just using my email and password.

      I agreed nothing on the t&c stated that you have to use the mobile app. Just have to perform the transaction via your mobile phone.

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 24/09/2010 - 12:32

  • kerfuffle on 24/09/2010 - 12:15

    I didn't need to enter any PIN when I paid for my item on PayPal mobile (the site; I have a Nokia). I just logged in using my e-mail and password. I did get a message saying that next time, I can use my PIN to log in rather than my password. I used Opera mobile as my browser and my phone's 3G connection, just in case payments made using Wi-Fi were ineligible.

    Bought these: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260646… I was originally going to buy a laptop battery, but everyone said it was a waste of money, so I switched to a portable hard drive, but I didn't have enough money, so earphones it is! =)

  • xtremezhang on 24/09/2010 - 12:17

    steps

    1. Open up internet on ur phone, go to ebay.com.au. If your on a mobile it will show up as mobile.ebay……

    2. Find the item u want, and BUY IT NOW

    3. Confirm, then Pay with paypal

    4. You will be directed to mobile.paypal website where u need to login

    5. Do not log in with ur email address, U must login via PIN by typing in ur mobile number and 4-8 digit PIN which you need to setup beforehand via Paypal/Profile/My Accounts/ Enable PIN where u setup your PIN

    6. Confirm payment @ paypal and your done

    7. You should get an email from paypal when you have paid

    • Knightelf on 24/09/2010 - 12:22

      You can pay with email address on paypal, as long as you're on the paypal mobile site it doesn't matter.

    • edw0000000 on 24/09/2010 - 12:22

      WHAT!!?? So if I paid using my email/pass (but on the iPhone eBay app) i'm not qualified?

      • kerfuffle on 24/09/2010 - 12:27

        I'd like to know this as well. It says in my PayPal account that it's a mobile payment, so if I don't get my money back, I'll have this as proof that I paid using a mobile phone.

        • xtremezhang on 24/09/2010 - 12:29

          u are fine. as josh81 said, nothing in the T&C states otherwise, i can't edit the steps anymore

    • Josh81 on 24/09/2010 - 12:27

      It says nothing in the terms and conditions of this promotion about requiring you to log in to paypal using a pin. You must be able to get cash back if you use your normal password.

      • jobski on 24/09/2010 - 12:30

      Look down the bottom of the listing on your mobile you'll probably see "“Immediate pay items not supported”".

      You could try buying it via. ebay.com.au in normal mode. If your phone supports full browser pages but I'm not sure if that'll be included in the 50% off.

      If you have this issue, go to m.paypal.com.au and accept the security certificate. Log back into ebay and the link now works.

    • dmc900 on 24/09/2010 - 12:25

      as I said before…

      Look down the bottom of the listing on your mobile you’ll probably see ““Immediate pay items not supported””.

      You could try buying it via. ebay.com.au in normal mode. If your phone supports full browser pages but I’m not sure if that’ll be included in the 50% off.

      This means you will not be able to purchase that item, try another one.

      • Duff5000 on 24/09/2010 - 12:44

        What?

        There was a continue to paypal button. The button did not work.
        I am not talking about the "this item must be paid for on ebay.com" message.

        There is a bug that the redirector link doesnt work without approving a certificate from "m.paypal.com.a". Once i manually went to m.paypal and approved the certificate the link worked.

    Also seems items marked as "immediate payment required" wont work on mobile ebay. Clearly still a lot of bugs and limitations with it, this must be their way of doing a high volume beta test on the site.

    OK - I bought using the eBay app on my iPad. I also then paid using PayPal within the eBay app (using phone number and PIN that I'd already set up). But now I read in the terms and conditions that it must be, "c. paid with the Happy Hour 50% Off Prize Major Prize Winner's PayPal account (that was submitted on the Registration Form) through a mobile phone." So, does this mean that because I paid through the eBay app instead of using my mobile phone and going to the mobile PayPal app that it won't be covered?

    • poopehz on 24/09/2010 - 12:35

      As above, I have a Galaxy S phone and bought via the Ebay app. However, I logged into mobile Paypal and got redirected to mobile Ebay which when paying, redirected me BACK to mobile Paypal. Logged in via PIN and mobile and all good, but when I finished the transaction it said something along the lines of 'next time you can log in with your mobile and PIN instead of email and password'…

      I made sure the URL was mobile paypal before paying for it anyway, so we'll see if I'm lucky or not.

      • morephyous on 24/09/2010 - 19:02
