  • +2

    Didn’t work for me either. I cancelled my previous order half and hour ago to use this code. But it turn out to be worthless. Must be targeted.

  • worked here & as above discount appeared as payment option in the app. engraved dog tag for the hound = $0.00

  • +1

    BOOOOOOOO HISSSSS!

    • +1

      You had your cart loaded to save $5?

      • Why are you even on here if you don't agree with that..

  • +1

    Doesn't work :/

  • +1

    Targeted bait. Maybe next time to people who didn't and people who never get targeted.

  • +1

    no luck here either :(

  • +1

    Late notice on it being targeted. Next time will personally wait until after codes valid to see if it's targeted before bothering to look into trying to use it.

  • +1

    targeted.

  • Sorry TA, you are great here but is just eBAY's fault.

    • -2

      Hey champ. Read the updated OP, there's possibly still hope lol.

      • Hey TA, this is chat support are telling me

        Thank you. I have further verified that this code is sent by invitation only. Unless you received the code in your email, you will not be able to use it.

        • +3

          Ye saw that thanks. I just wish they'd update the T&Cs at least.

          • @tightarse: Agreed - they're being ambiguous with this one.

  • Classic again.

  • +1

    Too bad cars are excluded

  • +2

    Not working for me either. It's pathetic that ebay plus members don't get automatically targeted for promos like this.

    Contacted chat, still wouldn't give it to me despite being a plus member. What a joke.

  • +2

    Got excited at 8:30 this morning for some cheap cables. :/ Good to know it was targetted after I spent time looking in the morning :)

  • +2

    Didn't work.

  • +1

    Not working either.

    Wasted time on this - and bit of a defensive attitude from OP in the comments… I feel like other users would’ve been roasted for doing this

  • +2

    Didn't work

  • +1

    Got a screen protector, thanks TA :)

  • +3

    Had to download app and then didn't work.
    Uninstalled.

    Nothing against you TA, but eBay hasn't pulled their weight.

    • All good. Hopefully they'll change their T&Cs to reflect that it is indeed targeted. In the meantime, try this.

  • +1

    Targeted?? Wtf?

  • +6

    Tried talking to live chat. They said that the code wasn't live yet and it goes live at 10:00 AEST. Then to try again in an hour or two. Once I told them it was already 10:24 AEST they said it could be system latency and to try at least an hour from now. Lol..

    • +6

      Imagine gaming with one hour latency.

    • Lol @ the continued excuses

  • +1

    Has anyone been able to use this code?

  • +2

    Targeted!

  • +1

    Crap! Code not working for 18650 batteries:

    Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double check and try again

    Thanks TA

    "There could be some glitch going on. No worries XXXXXX I will issue you a $5 to honor the promo. You can check the redemption code in this link within 24 hours."

    Just had a look at eBay chat and the wait time is 27 minutes. Seems like all Ozbargainers are chatting to get the $5 voucher ;)

    • +2

      Someone PM'd me earlier and said the wait was 45 minutes. DooDah was successful too in getting a $5 credit.

      • My chat guy won't give me one!! SHould I hang up and try another chat guy?

      • I was given a 5% off instead :/

    • What did you say to them Monty? My CSR won't give me a voucher!

      • I didn't chat because of the wait time. I might try again later.

      • +2

        I just played dumb and said it wasn't working. They asked details of the device I was using the item number I was trying to buy. Then I got the response and a vouchers.

        Just try another agent.

  • +1

    worked for me when using the app on my phone.

    • THIS IS WHAT I GOT:
      This code can't be applied. You can only use it via: eBay app for iPhone, eBay app for Android, eBay app for iPad.

  • Not working for me. What I would give for a generic 10% off eBay code right now…

  • Worked for me on the phone app which i have just installed

  • Did not get any emails or anything in my "My Summary" page, but I successfully used the coupon on the app.

  • Didn't work. See ya!

  • +1

    Was anyone here actually targeted?

    • Me.

  • Doesn't work

  • Bait and switch

  • -6

    Just contacted ebay and was told it was targeted:

    Me 10:54 AM
    Can you make the coupon code APP5OFF working for me?
    Theresa 10:55 AM
    Can you help me first as to where you have seen the code?
    Me 10:56 AM
    This was posted on Ozbargain and was confirmed to be not targeted by ebay
    Theresa 10:57 AM
    I'm afraid that the code can only abe applied for members who have received email about this. I apologise if ozbargain have made false infomation but please vary on how eBay have issued this.
    Theresa10:57 AM
    To determine the eligibility, you must have been sent an email by eBay. It was not advertised on the site. And eBay's policy needs to be followed, not other sellers'.

    • -4

      not sure who the douche is that negged me for contacting ebay?

      • +1

        you are welcome to contact eBay but you not supposed to say OZBARGAIN as it likely they won't honor it anymore for the next person who contacts them

  • +2

    No luck with Chat (Maybe they have been advised)
    The Chat agent told me it is targeted and won't work if I didn't receive the promotional email

  • Welp! That escalated quickly
