  • I think if the people who are blocked could fire the only cards that would be around 2-3 hrs in would be $5's and 10's :)

  • Just called PayPal after not being able to make second purchase of 500 gift card and was told the account has been cleared but do not attempt to login or make purchase within next 24 hours. Odd anyone got told the same.

    • I just rang as well. Yesterday they were able to do security verification on my account which let me place one order but it stopped working after that. They told me this morning that they can only do the verification once every 48 hours so nothing they can do. What a stupid system.

  • +1

    I can only find $25 Woolies cards. Any links to higher denominations please?

  • The only gift card deal I can think of that beat this was in the early days of Ebay + merchant were selling physical $20 GC's all varieties at ($12) 60% . They were charging Ebay $15 delivery per card eg a sellers sold 200 X $20 cards at $2400 and received instantly $3000 postage from Ebay into their PP A/C . 100k 's of cards were sold during this brief period . We were only customers buying with both my wife and Dad kicked out of Ebay + . Not sure what happened to the merchants .

  • After many tried and fails, called paypal, did it while was on the phone after they sent me a sms security check thing and it worked.

    Its not like when the CC seemed like it worked then failed as it appears to have actually completed the transaction.

    Now just waiting on the emailed codes. Will be sweet if it actually works as can then grab a switch by double stacking discounts.

  • Was having trouble using Paypal like many others - worked by using the ebay app and changing my location to the UK.

    • Tried that and didn't do anything for me.

      • Same

  • +2

    waste whole morning still failed

    • +3

      Same here

      • I think I've wasted at least 5 hours of my life trying to get these stupid eBay deals to work.

        If I'd spent that time doing some actual work, then even at minimum wage levels, I would have made at least $94.65, instead of zero. 😫

        • +1

          Not working for me as well. Never did.

          • @io: purchased $2k of Flight centre last night and $2k of WISH cards in the last one. It does work.

            • @frazel: Can we borrow your account?

              • @Keveira: I just created a fresh 2x UK accounts and used my PayPal account that I've had since 2007. My address in my PayPal account was like from 7 years ago too so I'm surprised any worked. I paid on debit card to I PayPal. The first lot went through (somehow I managed to purchase 6x $250) but the second lot I had issues with PayPal and looping for verification. I just deleted my chrome history, rebooted the computer and then updated my PayPal address to my current Australian address and the looping disappeared and it went through fine.

                Funny enough I have all my gift cards but PayPal is actually late in taking the second transaction of circa $400 from my bank. So I haven't even paid for it yet but have the gift cards…

  • Man, this is still going, just got $250 bws cards by making another account.

  • Worked for me just now after calling Paypal. There security process was blocking the transaction from going through.

    • I just called as well and it all worked fine.

  • -2

    Doesn't look like the code works anymore

    • +2

      It's getting annoying seeing this.
      Code works perfectly fine. The real issue is not being able to get paypal working. Stop posting non sense and confuse others.

      • -4

        PayPal works fine, it's the code bro…the code

        • Yep code doesn't work anymore. Don't bother trying anymore /s

          • @keejoonc: I just did 2 lots in the last 10 minutes.

            • @Yola: Wow. I put sarcasm tag in case there are some slow people and you still don't get it lol

  • Still working, just did one now on new account.
    $25 * 5 ebay cards
    $25 * 5 woolworths cards

    As long as yr order over $250 AUD you get the good discount.
    No issues with paypal as straight through.

    • i thought there was a limit of 5 cards per account

      • I'm confused too. Is it 5 cards per ebay account or 5 cards per paypal account?

    • Were they all from PayPal digital gifts?
      Tried 5 x wish and 5 x woolies and was pending then cancelled

      Not sure if this was because it exceeded the 5 x card limit (if this limit applies to 5 from same seller or 5 of same type)

    • Each time are you just creating a new ebay account only?

  • Best of luck dudes but I couldn't get this one to work and dunno if it's going to be worse the hassle for me then =[

    Made new account with UK address in .co.uk
    Checked out 5 x $100 Gift Cards
    'Does not deliver to address' -> So Put in my AU address
    Goes into checkout page, add POUNDSOFF -> 'Code Error'

    That was like my 6th try in the last hour so bummer, could be something I'm doing wrong.

    • Make AU the primary address but UK address under personal details.

      This may work for you.

      • It's now saying when I try to change main address back to UK that the postcode is too long even though I switch country to UK.

      • +1

        You are confusing him.
        You can't change registered address from UK to Australia. If you do this, the promo code won't work. You are supposed to only change the postal address to Australia.

        • It won't let me change back the registered address to Au? Do I need to also add in a UK number?

          • @SpotTheOzzie: Registered address - UK
            Postal address I had both bit made Aust the primary one

  • Has anyone experienced this? I got my 3rd new ebay uk account suspended and they still sent me eBay gift cards. The gift cards work, they are fine, no problem.

  • Placed order last night using CC as Paypal was failing. Order went through but was in pending payment processing. Woke up this morning to order cancelled status. Tried again this morning and Paypal login worked this time and order placed but no emails oe activity on Paypal account. Order is in Payment being processed state for the last one hour.

    Any more Pre paid Visa card guys?

    • What are prepaid visa?

      • basically like a visa debit card.

        There were EFTPOS cards, but they are long gone

  • Tried a few times this morning and even created a new Paypal account, still can't make payment.

    • Try calling PayPal. My PayPal didn't work and I tried new eBay accounts and new credit card . Failed. After a few hours I called PayPal and they sent me a verification code and it worked fine afterwards (45 min on the phone)

  • -1

    Code no longer valid… deals over!

    • Probably not meeting minimum spend

  • +3

    code is working, just PayPal's problem, terrible customer serivice from their end

    • Yep. Ridiculous that even if you ring up they can't put the transaction through.

      • +2

        yeah, so stupid, she asked me to pay with credit card, don't use PayPal

        • I got a text, forced password change etc still can't get past their automated fraud system.

          Luckily I only tried once today so only 10 minutes wasted haha

  • +1

    Yesterday I called paypal because I can't pay this item on ebay. After that, they send a sms to my phone, it can go through. But today same problem again, I called again, they said they can't do nothing about that.
    What a stupied system

  • Called PayPal today just now:.. worked!! I think I might know the issue. The lady said it’s the bank card normally stopping payment as it deems it risky.., so a call to the bank might help

  • +1

    Tried everything looks like PayPal has put an end to the party. It's been a good ride folks. Credit to doweyy. Now bring on the eBay Sales!

    • +1

      Yeah Nah mate. Still working. Just made another ebay account and got another $250 worth of wish cards. I think i need to stop now

      • At least they do not expire.

  • Woo mines goon g strong now .. time to exceed $1500

    • How are you getting the payments approved through PayPal?

      • Update when validation requested need to log into PayPal again to change password then should work for some
        Worked 4th time

        • Changing passwords didn't do anything for me. PayPal's customer service won't help me because they already unblocked me yesterday and can only do so once every 48h apparently.

  • Jumped onto the ship too late, only $25 wish cards available
    $25x5 = 125 <$200 AUD hence cant get the discount….

    • +1

      BWS is wish cards too, got 2 lots of 5x$50 cards this morning

      • Can you spend BWS wish cards in Woolies buying groceries?

        The only use for me would be Woolies and Caltex and wanna see how can I do $500 without exceeding 5 card limit and get the max discount.

        • Yes

  • Did anyone wait longer than 5 hours to receive theirs? I’m still waiting

    • When did you order and was it ebay vouchers?

      I'm waiting 2 hours although payment for paypal went through to my cc already

    • Mine's still not marked as posted after 2 hours. Hopefully no issues there

      • Just got mine all good

  • +1

    Called three times. None of them said they would help me. Even tho I asked them to do security verification with me they still dunno what to do.
    I totally gave up. wasted 6 hours of my whole life. Should be productive this weekend.

  • How can i buy UK ebay gift cards? Need it to buy something with this discount offer

  • -6

    Annoying vague error messages at checkout. Waste of time.
    Making phone calls to paypal is silly.

  • I just created my sixth account to buy for my sister and all went through. I had a problem when add Paypal, they sent me the validation code but it keeps refreshing. I tried to create new paypal and added again, when they asked if I wanted to remember, I chose later and all went through. Got $500 set and $250 ebay GC.

  • finally got it to work. my first such purchase….. thanks op :-)

  • After following the posted steps, didnt work with paypal or 3 cards.

  • Grrr stuffed up…anyone who how to cancel my order? It went through PayPal

  • +1

    Called paypal and nothing they can do about it..

    • Just got the same answer on the phone from Paypal

      • +1

        I called with option 1, then option 4. Girl was really helpful sent me a text read out the code then stayed on the phone until i said it worked. Maybe just call again in few minutes and hope u get someone different

        • +2

          I tried option 4 but got a guy who sounded pissed off by the 'fifty' calls he'd had regarding this and asked what the big deal was with people buying gift cards out of the UK all of a sudden. Just managed to get my order through on a credit card i'd already tried three times previously..

          • @Catsfan070911: Although…. the order is still listed as 'Payment being processed'

            • +1

              @Catsfan070911: This order wasn't successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount. Bounce back confirmed…

              • @Catsfan070911: yeah ive tried with 3 different cards they dont work.. only thing that works is paypal but u have to call them to fix it as it gets flagged as some security issue…. payed but havent got my codes yet

  • Bought 2x $500 (2x$200+1x$100) eBay gift cards across two more accounts and had both accounted banned, also received this message.

    Dear eBay Community Member,
    The bid that you entered for the item (122952741091) has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the (bid history) link from the individual item page.

    Oddly the payments still came out of my account, and I can't see any bid history (perhaps because my account is banned). Another post with an account that got banned said they still received the gift cards, so I'm hoping the same happens in my case. No indication that my Paypal will be banned so I'm keeping my fingers crossed haha.

    • Same thing happened here. Account suspended and 'bid cancelled' but I've been charged and have tested the gift cards and they still work…

      • Thanks Prodnus, haven't got the gift cards yet but this gives me hope that they will arrive.

  • +1

    This is a little crazy!

    I purchased $2k (4x$500) of Flight Centre and only been changed for 3 lots. But I have got all the gift cards.

    Anyone else get delayed withdraws. I checked the transactions in Paypal and they all came off the same card.

    I bought eBay gift card 2 weeks ago from Aus Post, activated 5 days ago.
    Does it count as in past 10 days?

    • The 5 limit is on cards purchased through ebay only I believe, you should be fine..

  • -1

    Ive got $1000 AUD of gifts card in the cart but poundsoff is only giving me a $92 AUD discount. Is that correct? Less than 10% I’d rather wait for the 20% of aus deals.

    • 500 at a time

    • To maximize the discount with ebay cards:
      buy $500 worth, 2 x $200 + a $100 = $408
      then buy $250 worth, a $100 + $150 (or a $200 + a $50) = $204
      5 cards total over the 2 transactions = $750 for $612 = 18.6% off

    • buy $500 at a time then it works

      • OK thank you - $500 works giving me the $92 discount. Worked first go too

  • I've tried to use this gift card purchased on an ebay.com.au purchase in australia and got the message:
    You can't redeem a gift card for orders in other countries.
    Can the gift card only be used for UK orders?

    • The cards work fine on Ebay Aus, I've used many in the past without issue, and I used one of this batch last night without issue..

      You're trying to use them on the ebay.com.au site right?

      Can you post a link to the card you purchased that's causing the issue?

      • +1

        All good, I googled the error and worked out I had to change my registration to AU now it works.

  • tried using 2nd account, blocked by this

    Alert
    To help protect your eBay account, we sometimes limit the amount of items that can be bid on or purchased by a single account. However, you may be able to increase the limit on your account by verifying some information about yourself.

    Call us to speak with an eBay Customer Service agent about the limits on your buying activity.

    anyone got the same problem?
    it asked me to talk with Seller vetting

    • Yep got the same problem here on 2 new accounts I created. I reckon it might be because I used the same name when I created the UK ebay accounts. The discount code works, put can't pay, either by Paypal or CC.

  • Its it possible to buy items on the uk site with the discounted gift cards or are they locked to au site?

  • Thank you OP
    Just ordered 3 x $200 eBay gift card @11:09AM

    and it worked

      Can you please post the link to the $200 eBay gift card denomination? I can only see $25 maximum.
