    CRAP!!! I cant checkout, help!!! I get this error under paypal:

    We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option.

    Anyone know how to fix this???

    Thanks

    I couldn't get this one to work. It won't accept my payment methods. I've tried 2 different paypals and credit cards but I keep getting -

    "Sorry, we can't process your payment. Here are your options:

    Use a different credit or debit card.
    Pay with a PayPal account."

    • i'm getting the same issue now, maybe party is over?

    • +2

      Same here, after it accepted the payment the first time then sent me an email saying the payment was declined, tried with 2 ebay accounts, 1 paypal account and 3 cards. Looks like it's game over for us.

      • good news is i received all my orders now, just couldn't get more.. Or maybe i maxed out my amex card.

        • -1

          Lucky, I didn't manage to get a single order…

      • +1

        game over +1
        :(

    • Got the same problem

  • I got it to work by following cloudies steps, hopefully its not cancelled.

    • I received my code. Good luck mate.

    • Did you get it yet? I am still waiting

  • +2

    paypal may cancel your accounts, due to breaching the t*c's of your account

    • eBay, sure, but AFAIK it's a legitimate PayPal transaction?

      • +1

        coz paypal foots the bill for the discount and thus paypal will be like wtf this is weird and may or may not cancel or suspend you.

        have you ready through their thousands of pages of t&cs?

        • How much "discount" did PayPal give to you to cause the drastic measure of complete suspension/ban?
          From previous comments you're now completely banned from PayPal right?

        • @MathNerd: no discount. yep thy did

        • Haha of course not.

          But eBay foots the bill and they're seperate companies these days.

        • @Turd:

          coz paypal foots the bill for the discount

          This is what I was referring to when asking "How much "discount" did PayPal give to you" :)

        • @striek: if they do then why does ebay force u to use PayPal for discount to work. Can't u just pay using cc on eBay with code?

        • @Turd:
          They don't. In the terms for the code "piggybank" it says you can use a UK debit card, credit card etc. I imagine you just can't use an Australian one.

          Bare in mind it's site-wide, why would PayPal pay for the discount but not the other million sellers.

  • Got it to finally accept a mastercard, but its sitting at unpaid in my orders. no email confirmation either.

    • when you say finally got it to accept a mastercard, did you try over and over?

      • I closed the window then reopened it.
        Now I got an email saying my PayPal payment didn't go through. Wtf…

      • +1

        Don't do that, they will suspend your account

        • yeah… think that just happened to me

        • same :/

        • @zero23: suspeneded your paypal or your ebay.co.uk?

        • @reactor-au: paypal. at least i can say my friday night ended in some drama

        • @zero23:
          So what happens now?

        • +2

          My paypal also suspended

        • @bansharkfin: I think I'm the same…what can we do?

        • @homersyd: i think it should be fine. i just logged into paypal and it seemed to be alright

        • +2

          @homersyd: go to the paypal office on lvl 25 1 york street and beg to them?

        • Not sure if its the same thing but my paypal was limited so all I had to do was some verification checks

        • +1

          @Unemployed:
          Seems like they may freeze your PayPal for being accessed from multiple locations at the same time. So VPN on and off would probably be one reason. I didn't get an email about suspension but will check in a few hours.

        • Out of interest what should one do? I had my account suspend trying to buy one at full price trying multiple times previously. eBay errors and the like so I thought it was just eBay being funky so I did the I'll try later. But nope wasn't that simple 2 limitations applied within 24 hours.
          Paypal reasoning: According to the person I spoke to flagged everything this seller has as risky items. If their security detects any risk the transaction will be blocked/fail.
          If that was true why do only a small handful have errors? Yet X here seem to have zero issues at all. If anything these bypasses should be raising the sussy flags way way more than just wanting to buy a $25 gift card. Only to get nope sorry too captain risky and here is a nice account lock as thank you present. :S

        • @penguincat: PayPal detection system is weird and sometimes works sometimes doesn't.

  • If anyone is interested

    Cheers OP :)

  • My codes arrived. Happy days. The double stack with a future discount will be sweet

  • -2

    Cheers for the paypal suspension

    • Is there any reason given by PayPal for suspending your a/c?

      • Paypal dont give reasons… read the t&c's they have many many terms

      • Can’t login to my paypal account just says please contact on this 1800 number, whats with the negs??

        • I didn't neg you.

        • +2

          Not you sorry just my original comment, I am just letting people know!

      • +1

        probably too many attempts within a given time frame

        • Did 3x $200 in one checkout

        • @bansharkfin: login and re-verify your account for it being limited?

        • @bansharkfin:

          VPN? Did you try multiple times or something. Hopefully it's just for security reasons and only temporary.

        • +1

          Just one transaction with 3x 200 Yep Uk vpn
          I can’t even login says to call a number, my paypal dash is blank will try sort it tomorrow

        • +1

          @bansharkfin:

          That sucks sorry to hear mate. Hope it's nothing serious. May the force be with you.

        • @bansharkfin: Did you get it sorted?

  • did 2 purchases.. i think they both got rejected in the end.. got email saying it didnt go through .. did it on mobile with vpn

  • -8

    This is more hassle than it's worth. I gave up after 15 minutes of trying.

  • Done! Bought $400 ebay gift card, paid $340 :)

    • what browser did you use and credit card or paypal?

      • You must use PayPal for this no direct cc via paypal

      • Chrome, no vpn. paypal with credit card
        create new account. add a random uk address (might not be needed)
        got error at check out saying i need US account. went to account to add a AU address and set as primary shipping address.
        then it worked :)

        • done all that, but no dice with paypal :( glad others got it though!

        • @zero23: clear cache and cookies of browser, create new account on gmail then follow the steps in description except without vpn. at the checkout use a new paypal address. like a friend or family member.

        • +1

          @zero23:

          Try without a VPN. I didn't use one and went through first time.

          Registered a new eBay UK a/c with a random UK address (chose one that was suggested on eBay).

          Added my Oz PayPal address and made that the primary.

          Clicked through link here and added the GCs.

          Entered PIGGYBANK in the voucher box.

          Choose PayPal and followed the prompts.

        • @dins: alright time to give it one last crack

          @zero23:

          Good luck! :)

          Still didn't work but thanks the for the help!

  • +1

    Thank you, super easy process and gift cards arrived 30 mins after order

  • Damn, I can only see $25 ones left?

  • the gift card can't be used to purchase catch gift card, rebel, and jb, i've tried all of them. :(

    • These eBay GCs can only be used on the eBay Oz site.

      • +1

        yes, i did try on both ebay uk and ebay au, none of them works

        • +1

          It'll be epic if it works. 😀

        • Ah ok this may be why

          The Gift Card also may not be used to buy eBay Gift Cards, third party gift cards, gift certificates, coupons, coins, paper money, virtual currency, or items generally considered to be "bullion" (for example, gold, silver, and other precious metals in the form of coins, bars, or ingots).

        • @dins: yes, that's why we just need to create a few more accounts, using each individual account to buy respective gc, such as jb, catch, and ebay gc (and hereby you'll need 3 separate ebay uk accounts) and other gc (including theiconic) and everything will be good. Piggybank ftw. and hell yea i've spent a total of $2000 via 4 different accounts, all using the same paypal account.. within 1hr. good luck guys!

        • @0031nek:
          Hey mate, can share the flow how u did it? I still encounter error when making payment…

        • +1

          @moonster: 1: turn on vpn set to uk (i used hola via firefox) ,

          then go to ebay.co.uk to register a new account (making sure your email is not associated to any other ebay account prior) ,

          then just look for the gc wanted, add to basket, hereby you'll be prompted for a delivery address, simply put in any valid starbucks london address, the mobile number you can use your oz number to receive verification code,

          then go to ebay your summary page, add in oz address as postage address, set it as primary delivery address (without this, it will as for US account etc, as encountered by many others here)

          then go back to the gc page, add it back in into your basket, and

          then proceed with login into paypal, then the piggybank code and voila!

          good luck!

          *edit: all above done while you're still in ebay uk.

  • i did my email as [email protected], but no ebay confirmation yet (for the account) hopefully the vouchers come through….

    I think i fd up big time

    • +2

      Yeah you did it the wrong way around. It should be [email protected]

      • yeah….totally fd now… so stupid…all cause I was in a hurry…did not want them to sell out. Do they also get sent to your ebay inbox?

        • +1

          I don't think they send it to your ebay inbox. Mine got sent to the email I used to sign up for ebayuk.

        • @Huehue:

          so at this stage it looks like I have wasted $500 :(

          does yours say emailed under order details, mine says it's on its way.

          I have contacted the seller and asked them to change the email…

        • +1

          It says it's on its way even though I already received the code. They gave me a tracking number too for some reason. You could try to get them to re-send the code to a proper email account

        • +1

          @Huehue:

          Yeah, I might have to wait until the morning. Thanks anyway

    1) Trying to buy a few items plus ebay and JBHIFI vouchers.
    2) Getting errors when paying with paypal or credit card.
    3) Removed the JBHIFI voucher.
    4) Paid with Paypal.
    5) Order confirmed.
    6) Received an SMS from PayPal saying they declined the payment for the order of vouchers, payments for other items went through successfully (checked credit card account and all payments are consistent).

    Paypal not suspended.
    I guess i won't receive my vouchers?

    EDIT: For the voucher my ebay says This order wasn't successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount. The seller hasn't received payment for this order yet

  • Seems to have gone through but I haven’t received my /codesvouchers yet. Went through about an hour ago.
    Where do they send the voucher/card to. Email or eBay inbox?

    • the same email address as your ebay uk account (assuming you didn't click as a gift and put in other people's email address) all of my gc received within the 10mins window.

  • +1

    After some digging, I can confirm that they did have 2 levels of check: eBay account and Paypal account.
    1/ eBay account: this will let tou apple the promo code fixed to country. Eg: eBay account registration address is US can use US promo code, UK can use UK code. When you change country, make sure you got the message saying “congratulations blah blah” moving into the country you changed. You will get confirmation email too. If you dont get any, even your country displayed as the new country, you account still tied to the old one. This means you can not use promo code. I know now the trick can change country with 100% success rate.
    2/ Paypal account check. I did not figuring out the logic of this check yet. I have 4 paypals account, 1 since 2006 and working on this UK promo and last US promo. others 3 did not. Keep getting payment error. Seem like the older your account is, the higher change it will work.

    So, unless you have a “good” (probably old) Paypal account, dont brother trying this.

    Oh, after several attempts of trying to pay by creditcard, my card blocked! Called commbank and they said ebay tried multiple attemps, zero dollar value transaction:)

    • i assume it may be true, my paypal was since 2005 if not mistaken?

  • Is there a limit to how many eBay voucher codes you can use in one transaction/purchase?

    • +1

      5 each transaction, a limit of 10 in total in a week (all within the same ebay account)

  • Hi ,
    I am new to these stuffs. Can somebody tell me how gift cards work? I wanna buy a phone at $750 on ebay.com.au. Let's say I buy $500 as gift card (and save around 50), what happens during the checkout? will it charge my paypal account for the remaining $250 and accepts $500 as gift card payment? or I should do all the amount as gift cards?

    • Yep,it will charge remaining balance to pay to your paypal acc or cc.

  • Game over by the time I tried. Anyone know of any decent Ebay codes going? Apart from PENNY5?

  • Cracker of a deal!

  • Damnit! You snooze you lose! Missed out :(

  • I tried doing it on 4 new eBay UK accounts, ultimately successful on one and got 3 x $200 eBay gift cards. The fiirst one worked no issues using Paypal. Took a few hours to get the voucher emails, but got them eventually.

    Then I had problems with payment as both Paypal and credit card and couldn’t checkout with the other accounts. Ended up using one of them to get the Woolies online vouchers instead.

  • +1

    Phew! Woke up to find my GC codes in my email. Took four hours to receive them from the time I purchased.
