Just got a text from ebay with a voucher code to spend $20 on anything, check your sms?
T&Cs:
https://pages2.ebay.com.au/Buyer_coupons/ausms
Use it to buy an ebay digital gift card to use it later and in conjunction with other vouchers! credit chonka2

Haha same, but then I saw the T&C link!
Same, i blocked, reported then deleted it haha, whoops!
I thought it was a scam too, so I put the bit.ly link into an unfurl URL website like https://unfurlr.com/ and it was an ebay.com website. Also the SMS was from "EbayAu" which I think you need to have registered or something?
Considering I've spent about 3k on ebay in the past fortnight - donnn't like my chances.
I dropped about 1k myself haha, so I was very surprised to see it
Yeah nothing in any of my 4 ebay accounts :(
Nice, Solo a star wars story 4k for $21.40
SOYLO … no thanks.
Yeah I didn't think Solo was a great movie. It was supposedly better than the last jedi. I did see solo on an aeroplane though so who knows maybe that ruined it for me.
Solo was fine tbh. It's a fun little romp without much pretense about being something grander. Just a bit annoying they shoved all the shit that they could in from previous movies, without half those references it would've been better I think.
Got it too! Thought it was another one of those spam giveaways at first though haha
I'm thinking about using it on a Samsung 860 Evo 1TB - $249 combined with PLUG5 brings it down to $236.55 minus $20
= $216.55. Paying with my eBay gift cards effectively makes me pay around ~$195. Or should I be greedy and wait til the last minute and hope another eBay voucher comes in a couple of days? :P
Actually scrap this, you can't combine it with any other voucher codes :(
haha damn 195 for a 860 1tb would be an insane price, I like your optimism haha
No love from ebay. :(
Me too :(
Me three :(
Me four :(
Me five :(
Me six :(_
I got a $50 voucher code when I contacted eBay for missing out the 10% off eBay cards (coz of that PayPal issue) which I used on the cards.
I also got another $50 voucher code when I told them I missed out on 10% off sitewide because I wanted to use the vouchers above. Gg
I wonder if I'll get this $20 code.
Got a 20% discount code, but prefer$20 off voucher instead!
20% is awesome!! Was that via the SMS as well? Mind posting the T&C of it if so?
Max discount$50… single use only.. can't see expiry date… thinking what to buy!!!??? Via email
It's locked to an account, so its not transferable

got one too … :) .. thought it was a scam maybe but my greed got the better of me and i clicked the link .. lucky it was legit.
Handy tip: For bit.ly links add a "+" to the end of the link and you can see a preview of where it's taking you before you actually visit it :)
Does this show in your account too - or just in the SMS?
Just SMS
Not true, it's in your account too, mine was
where do i find it in my account?
Mine was in the vouchers section at the top of the my eBay page, @Kerjifire may be right though in that it only shows after you use it, I didn't look there until after I redeemed it from my phone
Oh good because my phone number is out of date and I don't really want them to have it
Mind telling me where abouts in the account it is, I can't seem to find it?
mine only showed on account AFTER use.
Yep same here, didn't pop up til after I used mine
eBay have you're Phone Number :)
You just think about that and enjoy the $20. I suspect they'll make it back and boy, will you pay
yeah but you can just remove your number right after lol and or unsubscribe from the SMSes
Right… that should fool them. They probably don't backup any info
They can have my phone number if they want to send me 20 bucks every now and then..
SMS was deleted, thought it was a scam :(
As replied above, check your eBay account.
i accidently deleted this text message thinking it was a scam, is there anyway to find it o your account? or contact ebay to ask to send it to me again.
Only got 72 hrs to spend it tho!
No love from eBay Aus for me, for the entire year! :(
What is Love?
eBay don't hurt me
Don't hurt me…
No more
That's one way(sending SMS voucher) to confirm if a user's phone is valid without upsetting them.
whats the code?
Codes are unique unfortunately
How do you know if you got it?
Was SMSed to people
What was the number that it was sent from?
0427055200
Voucher DIDNTGETSHIT as usual for me
i tried your code but i got the message:
"Coupon is not valid or has expired"
To use this credit in conjunction with another voucher code (ie. PENNY5 or PACKAGE20) or if you just want to hang on to the credit for longer then 72 hours, do the below.
You can use your credit to buy an ebay digital egift card, as long as partial paypal funds are used (ie. use the $20 credit on a $25 gift card)
1 - Use the $20 credit to buy an ebay digital egift card
2 - Use egift card, as well as voucher code at checkout.
(I will be grabbing 2 bottles of wine for $25 instead of $50 using the credit plus PACKAGE20)
Clever!! I spent mine already on an impulse purchase, your trick of extending the credit is really good though - wish I'd seen it earlier :)
don't forget cashrewards
Min amount for eBay ecard is $25. Does that mean we pay $5 difference with the $20 sms code?
Pay for 2 $10 cards
I "bought" 2*$10 gift cards for $0 without any problems.
But for those that bought 5 gift cards from the 10% off deal needs to wait 10 days right?
Why didn't I got any sms code from ebay?
I didn't get one either and i'm not only a Plus member but also made sure i'm subscribed to their newsletters and offers and even have my mobile number there. They just hate me!
With a username like Graffin….. 🤣
$20 voucher to let ebay have my mobile number on file?
no thanks
they can keep the landline number i put there on file
(which has actually been a blessing when i had a buyer try to scam me when it became apparent he would lose, he started hassling the number. just took the phone off the hook)
yeah it's why i never updated my old number. but i missed this deal so i don't know now.
These days mobile phones can be turned off too.
Got one today too! Perfect!
eBay never sends me anything
Rebel sport sent me a $20 gift on my account during my birthday month and I spent way more on eBay 😜
Nothing from eBay for me. Got one from a Nigerian prince tho.
Thanks for nothing eBay with your bullshit selective random cherry picked promotions that exclude so many.
Bring on Amazon Sydney warehouse and serious competition, eat sh¡t eBay.
Amazon. Healthy competition. haha.
laughs in Bezos.
Amazon AU is the laughing stock of online retailers.
No message yet :(
Itunes $30 gift card for $10, sweet, thanks OP
Hey guys, is ebay UK down?15% off UK deal is deleted? Whats going on?
I think it was deleted because you could only use it on items delivered to the UK which was kinda pointless
I dont know but the website is down too, cant be accessible
Must be on your end, I can access it just fine
Didn't get it, but nice for those who did.
It seems I'm too late… I was about to buy a headphone:'(
when does it expire?
5pm today champ
Thx mate
5PM AEST*
I got an SMS code and tried to buy something under $20 that's within Aus, but when I typed in my voucher code, it said it's not valid, do all codes have the same expiry time and date or am I typing it in the wrong spot? Edit: I didn't type the whole code down, i'm an idiot pls ignore
Under the T&C it's meant to finish in about a few hours from now.
You just redeem it at the checkout where you normally apply vouchers. Double check your 0s and Os.
Additionally make sure you're shopping on ebay AU not UK or US.
I'm not sure if they're tied to your account so if you've got multiple eBay accounts try and redeem them on one of them?
I tried double redeeming my code on my account and a separate one and it will come up as "Unfortunately, this code no longer works" or "You have already redeemed this code".
Just got it too! Thought it was a scam at first… But if it's on Ozbargain then it must be legit ;)
