Instructions:

  1. Open the eBay app and log in to your eBay UK account.
  2. Go to the 3 lines at the top left and go to Settings.
  3. Go to Country/Region and change your country to UK
  4. Add item to cart and apply the coupon "PLAYAPP"

  • Have been asked before by someone else, but didn't receive a complete answer. If the UK account used to purchase it gets suspended, does it void the gift card too? Even if this has been used on another account first (effectively linking it to the other account)?

      YES! but only if qantas get involved, then the internal investigation will prove everyone fraudulently used a voucher code! ;}

      otherwise doubt it, its a unique code that is transferable (its a GIFT card!) and money converted to electronic digits. separate from ebay user policy
      as an aside, I couldnt create UK account with my AU linked email address, but the email from the (previous 10% off deal) US ebay account worked

      • Thanks for the reply, it totally makes sense! I knew Qantas was involved because of their dihydrogen monoxide chemtrails!

        Anyway, that was my exact same reasoning (transferable until first use…they can't deprive good kids of their hard-earned gifts), but thought it was better to ask for other people experiences with that. Thanks again, I'll test my luck!

  • Will you get charged 3% for foreign transaction?

    • not on 28 degrees international travel card. YMMV

      • Nope in AUD .

        • ah, yes you are right!

        • I was charged 3% foreign transaction on AU ebay plus membership as they used Switzerland Paypal.

          • @bwid: Not if you pay with Amex, as long as it is in AUD.

  • Can Woolies Wish Card be used in-store to purchase other gift cards?

    • +1

      Nope.

    • +1

      Used to work. Now you cant

      • Ah, that's a shame! Thanks for the quick reply.

  • Tried numerous times since yesterday, just worked once….looks like eBay and PayPal had worked hard to keep OzBargainer away šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ PayPal just don't let me sign in.

  • I have both uk and au ebay i use regular i download app and hoe do i search gift cards as when i click on links start of this thread goes to ebay ul and not where gift cards are.then what are the steps to make this work

    • What I did was to click on the link in a web browser and then added the item to my watchlist/cart. Then log into the app and you will see the item in your watchlist/cart. From there, you can proceed to checkout.

      • As said above, first log in using Google Chrome into eBay.co.uk then follow the link in this post and add the card to your cart. Then log out and log in through your app. The cards will still be in the cart

    Just tried again bought $500 ebay gift card for 450 with no issue.

    • +1

      Update: card received in 7mins

  • I have been able some how to get cards in my uk account and added code now i take this will work if i log into my paypal au and pay and will get sent cards?no closed ebay acounts right.

    • You will have to log in through app into an account that was created using eBay.co.uk.

      Otherwise, you won't be able to apply discount code

      • Log into the mobile app but enter UK credentials

        • @strang Well looking at my app settings i have my au address but set to uk as country and code worked and paid with my au paypal i hope thats ok

  • Whatever i did seems to have worked lets hope i dont get any accounts closed as use both often.

  • Cant get it to work with either credit card or PayPal.

    • Have the same issue. Don't know how to complete the payment….

      • Credit card is not accepted by the seller (gift card seller only accepts PayPal).

        If PayPal doesn't work then there are other issues.

        • Tried PayPal. It says something went wrong.

          • @JesseZ: The only way to purchase is through PayPal, and for it to be discounted is to have UK registration address. Apparently, PayPal often does not work for a myriad of reasons.

            • @[Deactivated]: How do you have a UK address Paypal?

              • @StonedWizard: PayPal is au address

                • @[Deactivated]: I'm not sure if it's a card issue, but I have a UK address and an Aus address in the eBay app.

                  I have my Au address on Paypal and it still says an error has occurred when I pay via Paypal.

                  • @StonedWizard: PayPal errors usually due to things like 'new account', 'suspicious purchase', etc

                    • @[Deactivated]: @strang - I added a Jetstar gift card and randomly it worked. How very very odd !

                      • @StonedWizard: JS alone?

                        • @[Deactivated]: JS cards are sold by a different seller; OW does not require PayPal; maybe that's the reason?

  • Well looking at my app settings i have my au address but set to uk as country and code worked and paid with my au paypal i hope thats ok?

    • If you were able to purchase at the discount, then the deal is done!

      • Yes i know but curious how you said uk details but i had au address and had country as uk.

  • This deal worked for me this time.
    $200 x 4 eBay Gift Voucher
    $250 x 1 Woolworth Gift Voucher

    They rejected me the first time because I created a new account back in Dec-2018.

    Since then, I used the UK account twice. Maybe that is the reason it didn't get rejected this time?

  • Looks like OW sell $100 Jetstar GCā€™s

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jetstar-Gift-Card-100/23318179514ā€¦

    According to the description

    You can use it at any Hoyts cinema.

  • Strangely after lots of trying I just got lucky and got 2*$250.

    But when I go back for another bite at the cherry, same issues. Weird but glad I got some at least

  • Has anyone else checked out successfully but then had their payment stuck as processing in their ebay purchase history?

    • +2

      MINE SAYS "YOU DONT HAVE ANY PURCHASES". still unable to purchase gift cards, stuck in the paypal section just goes in loop

      • yeah it's a joke and now my fake account has been locked

        • Mine too. After the purchase. Did yours come through yet?

  • The seller only allows buyers to purchase 5 items every 10 days. WTH!

  • PITA to get working. Thanks OP

  • +1

    I created an account and when I go in registration address page to double check UK address, at the very bottom of the page it says 'Registration date: June 18, 2016' !

    I wonder where is this date from for a newly created account!

  • Awesome, just bought some wish cards.
    Thank you for posting!

  • +2

    Well, I've been trying for hours and tried all recommended ways here in the comments and nothing. I made a UK account today. Can't pay for the Gift cards either using PayPal or Debit/Credit Card. I can (and bought today) other physical things without a problem but not the gift cards. I can only think is to do with the seller and how the gift card store has been setup and not PayPal or eBay. I surrender

    • You and me both!!

  • +1

    Errror post before

  • +2

    I have followed the procedure but cannot make payment in the last the step by paypal. It always says 'something went wrong, please try to check out again'

    • +1

      Yup,there's a lot of us with the same message. I've had that for hours hoping I'll get through it once like some people have.

    • Yeah it's all over i'm afraid

  • How long did you wait to get the gift cards and why the hell do i have tracking number is this normal?

  • Is there an easy way to view the detail of which gift card has been used and for what items? I find it hard to keep track of it.

  • Can confirm that it is still working right now (just completed transaction).

    • It will keep working for the next 9 hours until midnight in the UK. So until 9am for us.

  • I give up. Tried everything and still can't get pass payment. Ude this acvount last te without problems. Couldn't.figure out why. It seems so straight forward, yet not working. Doesn't make sense.

    Now it is bugging me. Hope someone cam help.

  • I've seen the previous listings for eBay UK discount codes before and thought I'd give it a punt. Had to authorise PayPal transaction through SMS. Received gift cards within 10 minutes of transaction.

  • Got 5x$250 Wish giftcards on my first eBay UK account. I don't think I should stock up on my other 3 accounts as I still have heaps from the previous deal lol.

  • one time Use ?

  • Worked for me, but I created my UK account maybe one of the last times a similar deal happened and back at that time it wouldn't let me pay either. Thanks op!

    With my uk eBay account ( with a uk postal address and Australia delivery address) I received error while paying from PayPal Australia account yesterday. I then called PayPal customer support yesterday and. They said that he transaction was declined because My Australia PayPal account has never been used to send ~800- aud to eBay uk in past. They verified my account manually and confirm that the transaction will go ahead. I was then able to successfully purchase the discount vouchers on eBay uk and paying for them via my PayPal Australia account. Hope it helps others in future atleast. Thanks.

    • Wish I have seen your post earlier. All make sense now.

    • Omg I wish I saw this earlier

    The deal ends, the EFTPOS cards magically re-appear

  • Bought $2700 in eBay GC's and $400 JB HiFi GC's. Thanks OP!!

    • You did this all on the single account?

  • I had a weird experience with my accounts,
    it seems very random working for some, not working for others
    had 2 accounts opened prior
    purchased ebay cards without too much hassle
    then opened a new account, nothing worked
    then opened another account to test, nothing worked
    went back to my original 2 accounts
    purchased from officeworks, worked
    1st account, I was able to order again from officeworks
    2nd account, unable to order again from officeworks

    seems very random

    Shucks - missed this one and didn't realise it expires 9AM today :(

  • Ordered a $200 eBay digital voucher yesterday and I still havenā€™t received it. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s a back log, but just wondering if Iā€™m the only one with this?

  • I think i'm doing this slightly wrong as i actually buy the products through my UK account.

    Are you guys buying ebay vouchers through this account, then using the vouchers in your Aus account?

    • Are you guys buying ebay vouchers through this account, then using the vouchers in your Aus account?

      You can only use the eBay AU gift cards on eBay AU.

      • Yes i get that, but when you purchase the giftcard/voucher with the UK account, I can use that voucher code with my ebay.com.au account

        • +1

          Yeah because you have purchased an eBay AU giftcard not a UK one…

          All the links in the OP are Australian giftcards sold by PayPal Australia

  • I just want to provide an update: I could successfully buy a gift card after the sale was over.

    Either some Paypal accounts were flagged for the sale, or maybe the accounts were too new.

    I know for a fact I tried every ā€œsolutionā€ during the sale and none worked.

    • Does that mean you still got the 10% off ?

      • Someone posted the real reason earlier.

  • Unlikely but am I able to use the ebay cards purchased on this deal to buy the eftpos cards from Officeworks?

    • +1

      "An eBay Gift Card may not be used to purchase other 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). If you have any of these items in your cart when you're checking out, an eBay Gift Card cannot be applied."

      Star the email and remove star after using it.

      • The email is only a link to the Paypal/ebay code, it doesn't contain the code. So you'd have to rely on having internet AND on Paypal maintaining the link.

  • created a Uk account for next time, and got the
