    what can eftpos card be used for?
    can I use eftpos card to buy Gift card?!

    • Not online; it is for over the counter use (in POS machines)

      • Yeah then I think it’s no value to have 4% off to buy $100 visa GC

    • Pay with them in Aldi without surcharge 😎😁

  • +2

    IOS here.

    Auto-detect for country is on by default in the eBay app. Need to change this to UK.
    To use the PLAYAPP you must set your deliver address to AU.
    See picture

    • Worked a treat. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

  • I can add the code and change back to my normal address but it won't checkout with either PayPal or bank card!!

    • Extremely fiddly.

  • Check out but haven’t received codes yet. Is it normal for it to take more than 1 hour?

  • Any jb hifi vouchers that can be purchased? Looking to stack with the 2x $500 ones I got from Telstra port in deal today for new iPhone

  • -1

    If anyone feels nice today/tonight … could someone purchase a $100 ebgames voucher and $100 uber eats voucher for me?

    I have been trying for the past 4 hours and just can't seem to get past checkout after the code is added and my postal address is there

    • -1

      Thank you to the kind person who has helped me out 🙂 I really appreciate it

  • Thank OP. Just got $500 ebay gift card for $450. And received the codes within 15 mins.

    • What payment method did you use? What countries/accounts?

      • I used PayPal, I have ebay UK account since last year, but when I tried with my new PayPal account, it doesn’t work, then I tried my old PayPal account. It worked.

        • +2

          Hmm interesting. None of my PayPal accounts work 😒

          • +1

            @alexshel: Mine as well.. paypal does not work tried 3 differenr accounts

  • Is it possible to buy something that is in Australia from an Australian seller on eBay UK and use the code PLAYAPP for 10% off. With the 10% off on gift cards, that would be 20% off in total if it works.

    • You are dreaming. How can you use au gift card to pay UK site?

  • Ordered 5 JB vouchers but only received 4? Is that a common thing that one would be sent after the others?

    • yeah had that happen before should get the other one within 24 hours or so

      • Cheers mate. Last one finally came through.

  • Just get "This session is not valid", after adding the giftcard and trying to go to checkout.
    Internet commerce is not worth the endless hassle.

  • +1

    Thank you so much OP. Easy instructions to follow with no issues here at 4.15am. Just got $875 worth of Wish cards with $87.50 discount. And got all my codes within minutes!

  • Ordered $100*5 Wishgift card now ($250 was sold out)

  • Good Morning. Just a question : can I Pay using the discounted eBay Gift Cards then use again the code when purchasing an item so that ill have another 10% discount?

    • It's ozbargain, if that works, you will see it at least on page 1

  • +2

    still waiting on woolies $250 gift cards from 8:50pm… crap….

    • same here, not sure what happened.

    • Me too. Worried..

    • I was too. But it just got delivered now

      • still nothing here, the page says 'up to 24 hrs' so lets wait and see

    • UPDATE: they came! panic over, free money!

    • Ordered about 9:30pm last night and still have not received… bugger.

      • All cards finally arrived - yeah!

  • +1

    Ok, I’ve used up my 5 card limit on PaypalGC’s. Who else sells gift cards?

    Or do I just wait to see if OW restocks.

  • Finally got it worked, I tried from last night. Thanks

    • I am still having an issue with the payment step. No idea what caused this problem..

  • I'm feeling left out, how am I not tempted by anything available here?

    I mean I get it if you need are planning on buying a TV or new PC or another big purchase, or do lots of shopping at woolies, but why else are people stocking up on gift cards?

    I clearly need help spending money!

    • You wouldn’t use a Ebay GC’s?
      Woolies = wish, so use it at Dan, BigW, etc too.

      • Best is using it at Caltex/woolworths. Fuel is generally a huge expense.

        • +1

          Probably cheaper to use 7/11 app if you are looking to save on fuel.

          • @keejoonc: No. I’ve checked and 7/11 is no longer price king (on diesel for example). With 10% (or even 5%) is equivalent to 6-8c/L saving. Plus a 4c fuel voucher and you’re laughing.

            • @ATangk: Savings on diesel with 7 eleven is usually not as significant as petrol. Depends how much driving you do I guess.

              • @keejoonc: 7-eleven prices across Aus are only same ish slightly more as Caltex nowadays. But they don’t have all the discounts (NRMA or otherwise), plus wish gift card.

                Last year they were almost always cheaper but they’ve changed their business model now. Probably after the wage scandal and their draw card $1 coffee.

                • @ATangk: Sorry but your comment is completely wrong. For example, right now in Brisbane CBD, unleaded is as high as 160c/L. Guess how much I can lock in for using 7/11, mere 124.7c/L.
                  Benefit with 7/11 comes from the fact that you get the cheapest price available nationwide.

                  • @keejoonc: Well I’m not saying I only fill up at Caltex. I use 7-11 if it’s cheaper. But when prices are comparable it’s really not.

                    I see BP at the same price as 7/11 now in my local area. Woolworths Caltex yesterday was just 126.9. With 4c fuel voucher that’s 122.9, then 5% wish gift card is 116.9c/L. Or 10% wish gc is 110.9c/L.

                    Without voucher, but nrma is just 1c extra.

                    Without either voucher it’s 114.9c/L.

                    Any of these examples would beat 7-11 until you specifically pick the day the fuel price cycle goes up. E.g. I filled 91 for 120.9 yesterday but my motorbike only takes like 12L so I don’t really care much. Still, the pump price at 7-11 was 165.9

    • You are not alone, but I guess everyone is different.

      Personally, unless I'm planning on buying something specific and expensive, it doesn't make sense for me to buy a bunch of giftcards, which I may forget about. Our household grocery bill isn't that big either so happy to just buy GCs through Suncorp as and when needed.

      Stocking up on GCs would just give me an excuse to buy something I don't need or shouldn't buy LOL

    • No, not alone. Not esp interested in using app, or UK site in case there's some issue, and ultimately i'm talking maybe $30 saving in my case. The Phantom's time is worth more than that. Guess i'll need to hand in my OB badge.

  • Is there any other seller selling wish gift card other than seller:paypal-digital-gifts? I have reached limit of 5 cards with this seller.

  • +2

    argh can't seem to get it to work, can add to the card and apply the code but when I click 'confirm and pay', I get a pop up with '…' and a 'OK' button and get redirected to shopping cart - can't figure out WTH is going on. My primary address is UK, delivery address is AU, region is UK and I'm using the app, help anyone?

    • same

      • Here as well, any workaround??

  • +1

    Now I get an error when logging in to PayPal (We can't log you in at the moment)…weird. whatever.

    • Has yours been sorted out?

      • +1

        Nah. Same thing. Annoying as I wanted to buy a stack but what can you do

  • Worked for me, fingers crossed for the actual delivery

  • +1

    Each to their own. I can understand doing this for some GCs but you can already get most gift cards with at least 5% discount.
    Personally it all seems like too much hassle to get extra $44.89 on $897.8 worth of spend.

    • +1

      Yeah, but if u’ve already had an account from previous deals, then no hassle at all

      • Fair enough. I read about people's accounts getting banned etc as well.

  • Worked for me, and received in 5 min! Thanks!

    • me2.
      Thanks OP.

  • +3

    damn woke up and this still isn’t working for me. everything set up correctly - address in AU, region in UK, however after adding PP it just says there’s been an error

    • +1

      had the same bloody problem. Didnt work. Gave up after 30 minutes

      • +1

        I’m doing everything right, I feel like maybe certain PP accounts are just flagged/don’t work.

        I’ve used 5 different accounts and none work.

    • +3

      SOLUTION.

      Have the gift cards in your watch list
      Have your address as AUS as primary. Find any item from an Australian seller, add it to your cart.
      Change your address to UK primary
      While your in settings, go to personal information and remove your paypal account (remember me) so when you go into checkout it doesn’t automatically come up.

      Now with your primary address back to UK, add 1 gift card to cart, so your cart will have Aus item and gift card in it.
      Go to checkout, it will say sorry no can do because of your address,
      Add the code, the deduction should happen.
      Change the quantity of the cards to what you want.
      Log into Paypal
      Change address to Aus, which you can do because you have a physical item in checkout.
      Remove item so only gift cards remain
      Discount should still be present and confirm

      • tried this - thanks

        still didn't work (new ebay UK account).

      • I was hoping this would help but unfortunately no, same thing :(

        • I have a couple of UK accounts which have had for at least a year now. I had all the same error messages that people were experiencing. It’s a shame that it doesn’t work for you guys.
          Once I discovered how to work this out on one of the accounts, I went back to my other account and was still having issues, until I removed the remember me setting for Paypal in checkout and had also selected a different ebay gift card from the one I had previously taken to checkout. Just rambling but my goal was to be able to get to checkout with the ability to go from having my primary address set to UK and then being able to change it to Aus with the code already applied when I had address in UK.

        • try change your ip. if you are on wifi then change to mobile data or vice versa.

      • THANK YOU! This is the only instruction that worked for me. I've tried everything else that people said in this thread, from using VPN to creating new account..

      • +1

        thanks for the instruction. i followed every step still not working. I noticed the paypal processing time is suspiciously long with a double spinning wheel, happened both on my android and ipad, then always return to the checkout page asking to choose another payment method without telling a reason.

  • +1

    Someone needs to create a guide on this.

  • Wish cards are outstanding for over 12 hours. Are people getting them?

    • i did after 18 hours or so..

  • Can you guys see all the paypal-digital-gifts items for sale or only those that you have looked at before? I dont see when looking under the seller and when I use the links on a PC so taht they appear on my mobile under recent items I get an erorr at checkout which is just "…".
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Edit:
    Went to buy a $25 card on the PC and got this error:

    • Yep, I got that error two. Tried making TWO ebay UK accounts but both copped the same message.

      • Got same message too

      • yeah my second new UK account got the same thing. Strange.

  • Placed an order and quickly received 3 out of 4 gift cards… paypal tax? lol

    Thanks OP, last 10% off eBay deal served me well

  • weird for me
    had one UK account before and opened a new one

    old one, after a tinkering with addresses, ebay GC worked, and received 8 hours

    new account, trying to buy physical eftpos cards,
    have switched postal address, back/to AU/UK, country AU/UK

    get the code cant be applied msg

    • new ebay uk account - does not work with amex/paypal

      • bummer, i have amex and paypal!

        did not know that

        edit: but im getting the code cannot be applied msg, even before payment

        • +2

          code works for me (because my address is AU, registration is UK) - but payment is a no go.
          I can add my CC to my account and all, but just won't process the payment, error!

          • +1

            @banzini: How'd you end up?

            I'm in the same boat. Payment won't work with Paypal, Mastercard or Amex.

          • @banzini: Same with me. Wondering what payment method successful ozbargainers used

  • Hi everyone,

    Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you set up multiple eBay accounts, in US and UK etc, and not get blacklisted by eBay? Don't quite get that…..

  • +3

    I give up. Won't work for me . Seems to be paypal blocking my transaction

  • who else sells gift cards, I didnt realise that paypal-digital-gifts seller has a max of 5 gift cards per 10 days ????

  • +1

    I give up. Literally tried for 4 hours last night and 2 this morning - I’m done.

    Unless someone wants to buy me the eBay GC, it’s over for me ):

    • +1

      I had a few issues but got there in the end.

      I had the UK account set up, logged in on the app. Made sure my location in settings was seting to UK.
      In a web browser I logged in searched for what I wanted to buy and added it to the watch list. I then when and two addresses in to my delivery addresses, an australian and a UK. I make the UK one primary. I then went on the App and added what I wanted to the cart. Once it added to the card, on the web browser I changed my primary location back to Australia, then in the cart I just went through the normal purchasing like normal.

      • Thanks - this worked for me. I was able to do it all in the app by changing the Country in Settings.

        • No luck for me.
