    • I had a validation loop too but I got out the loop on the 5th message, I just keep trying….!

      • i.e. fifth person you called? or by continuously attempting to validate in browser?

        • on the 5th SMS

          • @Jasongood: SMS' received by calling PayPal? Or by prompts in browser?

          • @Jasongood: I just tried again and mine doesn't even validate via SMS anymore :( it just logs into PayPal and then it 'grays out' and says it's not available as a payment method, with the message "We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option."
            :(
            thanks for prompt replies, but I think my journey is over.

            • @ts13: Ya mine all done in the browser pop up window, sorry should make it clearer. After answer the 5th prompt the box closed itself, the Paypal option grey out, then I went on to call Paypal to fix that.

              • @Jasongood: Yeah, I called PayPal like 5 times. 3rd time onwards, they just told me the same thing. “We can see you’ve called before. We can’t fix it. It’s all automated and it’s stuck in a loop.”

  • +1

    Whoever got through to PayPal support, just tell them everyone in the queue is from OZB and calling for the same thing :D

  • I'm getting this message

    This item cannot be purchased because this item cannot be sent to your delivery address

    I've tried changing the address a couple of times, not 100% sure I'm getting the postcodes right.

  • can i use ebay gift card to buy wish card later?

    • No, cant use gift cards to buy gift cards…

      • -1

        i mean using the ebay gift card to buy wish card from ebay AU not ebay UK.

        • Same, you cant use ebay gift cards to buy any gift cards, on any of their sites… No double dipping on gift cards..

          https://pages2.ebay.com.au/ebay-gift-cards-terms-conditions
          5. The Gift Card may not be used to pay eBay or PayPal service fees. The Gift Card also may not be used to buy 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).

          • @FLICKIT: yes i just tried, last time i must use those digital eftops card, all good, brought some caltex card, 18% off is not bad.

  • First time I was bother doing these other region giftcard deals, always through too much effort… proven correct. Signed up added WW GC to account, discount applied but can’t get PayPal or CC payment to work on eBay…

    Did ozbargainers put in that much transaction that it’s throwing red flags for eBay…

      Did ozbargainers put in that much transaction that it’s throwing red flags for eBay…

      It just doesn't work for some people. I don't know why. None of these deals have worked for me.

      There must be something else, that's not very obvious. Something that the others have done that we haven't done, or something that we did that we shouldn't have done.

  • Looks like ebay not PayPal is blocking me.

    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.

  • Can anyone confirm if you can get JB HiFi or Myer cards with this?

  • +1

    PayPal is saying it's isn't available right now and credit card is getting rejected….

  • Thanks doweyy, late to the party but managed to snag 5 x $100 Wish GCs.

    • Thought wish cards was sold out?

      • Bought the Caltex 5 x $100 GCs (link in OP). Can confirm they are Wish GCs.

        • -1

          So can be used online and in store at Woolworths then? As I need to use online and if anything left over in store but in there terms etc it says bigw or Caltex etc is only good for that store, have you personally used these Caltex cards both online at Woolworths and in store?

          • @bwatt72: Don't know about online but just used the Caltex GCs in-store and it worked.

            • @G77: Yep it's online I want to use

  • i receive sms [Paypal] Did you pay - $600 AUD to Paypal australia Pty Ltd on 20 sept 2019? reply 1 if yes or 2 if no. [ reply needed]

    i have ordered $600aud worth but only paid $508. and checked uk time it is 21/09. so what should i reply? legit sms?

    • paypal is probably on US time.

      • how about $600? logged in paypal only show $508. i have received the gift card. can i ignore this sms or?

        • i mean if you have already got what you paid for just ignore it

          • @demiurge: just worry paypal will void my gift card. calling them now just in case, thanks for your respond.

    • I also received the same sms few minutes ago…
      if I replied 2, what will happen?
      I actually don't want the ebay gift card (purchase 2x$150), but I want the woolworths one …

    • Yes it's legit, I got the same SMS on my first $500 order today.. and I've had it in the past..

    • You need to reply 1.

  • +2

    Many Thanks @doweyy.

    party offer, code doesnt work anymore?

  • Those bought 3x$150 ebay gift card, did you get the maximum discount i.e. $91.83?
    or just $45.91?

    • I doubt $450 will get the $91 off…

      The original deal was:
      £250 or more and receive £25 off
      It seems to have glitched and it's giving us 50 pound off 250…

      250 pound is about AU$460, so I suspect with $450 you will only get you the 25 pound, AU$46 off…

      Add them to your cart, go to checkout and apply the code, and see…

    • You had to spend $250 or $500 for maximum discount.

  • Called PayPal, on hold for about 6 minutes, send verification code, refreshed page and worked. Easy Peasy. Thanks OP!

    • is it EBay or Paypal blocking it?

      Everytime i try to login to paypal it lets me but then ebay says i can't use that option. THanks in advance.

    • can i ask what did you ask? because there is no order record in my paypal account for them to verify anything. I tried to pay with paypal but after login paypal popup just closes and ebay asks me to use another payment method

      • The guy I spoke to knew exactly what was up and said he had received about 30 of this exact call already. He sent an SMS and got me to read the code and 7 seconds later it worked. The problem I was having the PayPal payments were greyed out and I couldn't select them. Good luck gang.

        • +1

          my paypal guy checked my account and told me it's all fine. It's just the merchant cannot handle such huge volume of orders at the same time.

      • Mine was the same . Called PayPal and they said they blocked the transaction for security issues. She said she wasn't sure if she could help me but will "try". Sent me a code to repeat back to her . Then it all worked.

  • Worked for me;

    Did 2 transactions of $45.91 off $250

  • +1

    The guy on the phone knew what was going on, he told me it was about a 50/50 shot he could get it to go through cause they're getting thousands of calls. Transaction went through though after he sent me a verification code.

  • +1

    Without reading 7 pages of comments,why is everyone calling PayPal?

    I paid via CC, $500. Had to set up a new account, and a little stuffing around setting up. A little nervous as payment is still pending? But it went through….

    • +2

      Expect anything pending on CC payment to be cancelled. Seems only PayPal payments work, and that's if PayPal allows your transaction to go through. Hence the calls due to transactions failing…

    • +2

      All the pending transaction will be cancelled later at least in my experience. Sorry mate.

    • Same here, paid with paypal no issues

      Got my $250 codes in 5 minutes just now

  • Thanks OP. Sweet 93$ discount

  • +1

    Only 1/3 of my $500 orders went through, the other two shows up as 'Your payment is pending'. Paid all three transactions with Paypal. I called Paypal and the lady on the phone said it was eBay's problem, she wasn't helpful at all.

  • damn $200 GC's out

    $100 GC's out

    and

    $50 Out

    Only option now is $150 x 3 + $25 x 2 which is not ideal

    • Thats what i’ve got. Why not ideal?

      • I got another set to at those denominations

        not ideal due to ebays ~10 GC max per transaction

        $25 ones are less useful becasue of that

    • +2

      If you mean eBay cards, $200 denominations are available in other eBay branded cards as such:

      Father's Day
      Hip Hip Hooray

      They're all the same eBay cards just branded differently.

      • Ahh true true, missed that

        Time to buy some more then :D

  • wrong code message now :/

  • Thanks.
    2x $150 Ebay7 GC + 4x $50 Wish still listed as pending payment.

    Tried second time with 5x $50 and came through after sms confirmation from paypal. Received codes within 5 minutes.

    • Damn. It has been 30 mins with mine and still no codes

  • Got everything done then Paypal blocked it. First time I ever made a UK account. Had an option to call them but now its gone. I tried my mastercard also without luck. This deal has so many votes but for me a waste of time.

    • It's maximum of 5 cards per 10 days

      • Ordered 5 cards.

  • how many transaction could we make, 1st order 5 cards worth $500 order went through, when i try to place second order, won't let me add to basket

    • max 5 cards only

      • Ok so I am done this round. Better than last time 10% UK deal

  • Ah PayPal blocked? Anyway out of this?

    • Says I can’t pay using this method

  • After being on hold with Paypal for 40 mins finally got through. Did the 2 transactions one was for my British wife's UK Ebay account which went through fine, the other one they took my money but now my account is suspended and don't think i'll be getting the gift cards :(

  • ok paypal guy knew straight away what i am after, apparently everyone is calling for the same thing. he checked my account and told me it's all fine. It's just the merchant cannot handle such huge volume of orders at the same time.

    These deals have turned into lottery now.

    I tried hard but not working for me. Get hung up at the paypal stage. Time to give up!

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

      Lol! Member for 3 minutes!

      • just signed up after 1 year hesitation

        • Welcome.
          But best to read the advice already in this Deal.
          There are quite a few issues, so we can always learn from others.

          Make sure you followed all the steps to set up a UK ebay account, etc.

          Looks like that's the wrong code.

          Telling us the code is wrong is not the best way to ask for help, if that's what you want.

          As the code has been used in hundreds / thousands of purchases over nearly 8 hours - I don't think it's an issue with the code.

          Did you enter the minimum purchase amount for the code? These matters have already been discussed.

  • Kinda weird. Got through and ordered and paid for 5 wish cards but only got sent 4? Put a dispute through with PayPal. Hopefully they just send me the 5th.

  • Unfortunately a new account with Ebay UK didn't work for me. The check out page asks for a paypal account linked with the ebay account.

  • Thanks OP. Kept receiving an error message about a wrong code. Think I found a solution: select payment method first (I chose PayPal), then input the code. Seems to have worked. Hopefully I receive the gift cards!

  • +1

    worked for me, bought $500 of ebay cards for $407.72. 18.5% off, thanks OP - one of the years best deals!

  • Btw the original post should be updated that you still need UK address as main address, you only update the postal address to AU.

  • great
    bought 2K

  • Thank you. Got $500 ebay GC for $407.7 and received within 2 minutes as usual

    • +4

      Damn, they ripped me off!, mine cost $408.17 earlier in the day..

      I want a refund !

  • Tried to redo my CC purchase, got the 250 wish card's but couldn't do the eBay card's due to exceeding gift card limit.
    Great deal, shame I stuffed half of it for me.

  • So what the person on Paypal told me is that it seems some accounts are limited as they are classified under high-risk (could be too new or too infrequent/unusual patterns) such that these transactions are being blocked. There is a particular option/verification feature on certain accounts that let the phone agents remove this particular limit such that transactions be approved but if your account doesn't have that option when the agents are going through it, you're SOL as there's really nothing else they can do.

    Oh well, at least my Canadian account is fine (10 year old account versus my 6 month old Australian one).

    • Too new makes sense to me. I got blocked on 2 new eBay UK accounts but my 18 month old one worked fine.

      Guess I shouldn't be too greedy lol.

    • Are you guys calling because the process isn’t working or is there some complication after the order confirmation?

      • Calling because we can't even use Paypal to checkout, it's greyed out and tells us to call Paypal (at least I got that red comment). If we use CC, usually get rejected. It's not eBay account based, it's Paypal account based.

  • Thanks just ordered some, no problems.

    Cards came through within a couple of minutes.

  • keep getting “something went wrong. please try to check out again“ not sure why.

    • Anyone else is getting this message?

  • Which link are you guys buying $500 cards worth?

    I tried adding 4 x $150 - and added further cards and only got ~92 off.

    Is it capped?
