  • Will I regret only getting $700 worth this time? I only hope there isn't another 18% deal in the next 10 days.

    • +2

      Won't happen in a year or two, but you might see 15% off in 3 months

      • dammit, forgot cash rewards

        • Don't think it works on these deals. Not sure if it's because it's UK eBay or because it's giftcards but I think it's one of them.

  • I keep getting "This code can't be applied to your order.". Just trying to buy 1 $200 card.

    • have you changed to ebay uk?

      • probably nope.. i'm on the ebay uk site.. do i need to do something to my account?

        • yeah, create an eBay UK account with using a different email address. scroll to the top of the post for more info

          • @JordanSewell: Ok done.. now getting Sorry, this payment option isn't available. when I use my paypal AU login…

  • Thanks, Op, just purchased JB HIFI, transaction went smoothly. cheers

  • Anyone getting an issue where they add to their cart and then nothing shows up in cart? I can't buy any

  • Can someone please give me a link to a paypal or ebay gift card? They're not showing for me at all??

  • thanks OP,

    created a new Ebay account as had already reached 5 card limit.

  • Looks like they have just wised up to us, it's not allowing me to buy with the same paypal account I use here.

    • did you buy 5 cards in last 10 days?

      • No, I have a brand new account too.

        • i made a new account and used same paypal acc

  • hi there
    can anyone tell me if the consequent purchase takes longer than the first one. got first one 400 worth in 2 min waiting for second one of 1k worth

    • Pretty variable… anywhere from 1min to 23hrs for me. Sometimes a subsequent order arrives before the 1st (different accs), and sometimes you get the email but 1 or more links don't work and then a couple hours later they do.
      … I've bought so many gc I'm pretty sure I've left balances and problem even got some unused bcos of refunds, or other.

      • thanks mate that helps. cheers.

      • Yeah I think I probably have a few hundred unused sitting somewhere

  • Looks like they’ve changed from 10 card limit to 5 card limit

    • +1

      Always 5

    Any tips on how to get past the "To buy a gift card, you need an eBay and PayPal account."?

    My PayPal account is linked and I've created a UK ebay account. Are there instructions hidden away in a previous post or similar?

    Note: also getting an error "This item cannot be purchased because this item cannot be sent to your delivery address." in cart, but doesn't stop me from progressing to check out. I've used a friend's address in London so not sure how to get past that error, if it is a problem.

  • No ebay uk on cashrewards app?

  • +1

    Very surprised this time it actually worked. Spent waaaay too long with too much false hope with the 18% off sale, but this time it went through the first time! I applied the code before selecting payment and paid with Paypal.

    • Normally it works when the deal just started. Then the issues escalated when a bit late to join the party
      Good it works this time

    SUCCEED FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!
    The trick is:
    1, Register an eBay UK account, add two addresses: one random UK address and one your real AU address(matches your PayPal account?)
    2, in eBay App, log in using eBay UK account, change location to UK manually
    3, add cards to cart, pay as paypal, go back
    4, switch primary address to AU real address
    5, back to cart, apply code and pay
    hope above helps!!!
    received all the cards while I was typing this!

    Best Blueprint Needs a sticky :)

    • Got it through using the mobile app. Cheers.

    • Why you getting negged for helping others?!?

    • My computer's browser won't let me change address. It just kept loading.

      Good tip using the app to change address. Worked for me.

    • Followed this through mobile app as well - no issues!

  • Nice - first time trying one of these overseas eBay deals - worked for me for two orders - one for eBay and one for Wish cards

  • Any deal for Apple Watch 5 ?

  • Getting JavaScript errors

  • "Server is down" when I go to add postal address in my account

  • Are the codes suppose to come through instantly? its been around 1 hour. cheers

    • +1

      An hour and a half and still waiting…

      I'm waiting on wish gc

      • I'm glad I'm not the only one, it should arrive by the morning hopefully
        I'm waiting on a JBHIFI card

        Are you able to respond once yours has come through please?

  • Good find, thanks

  • Can some1 explain how this works … do i need to xhange address or what ?

  • +1

    Since I already reached my 5/10days limit, so I decided to make a new account a few hours earlier. Just got back to my phone and found email has suspended that newly created account… I haven't made any purchase yet with this new one. Weird.
    +1 to the deal though.

  • tried using gift card bought from last time to buy something and got error message saying gc not allowed to be used in this country blah blah…..ggrrrrr

    • What gc was it?

  • Is this still working? I created a .uk account but cant see any of the paypal digital giftcards on there.

  • 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.

    ffs

    • new'ish accounts have to go through a vetting process where they get you to link up paypal over the phone. had to get transferred to the UK dept in order to get that done

      • +1

        I created a new account and there was no vetting process

  • More? More please!

    Got all sorts of problems people mentioned in the post. Got it sorted and scored 5 * $200 gift cards by using NordVPN to UK. Had to say the NordVPN was slow like hell …

    • Also had to disable ADGuard, it seemed to be one of the sources of the problems I had.

      • it should be called slowVPN

  • Has anyone received the eBay GC ..

    • only order confirmed, says several hours in the order email.
      Estimated delivery time on eBay is 1 to 4 days like 1st Oct

    • profar above said he got the delivery in minutes?

      Maybe its also related to your credit card bank.

      CBA seems to be very quick

    • I got mine in 5 mins

  • This went through for me while I couldn't get PayPal to work for the 18% off deal.

    Now just hopeing the vouchers turn up soon and I'll use them and this code again for some physical goods.

    Nice 20% sorted.

    • +2

      You cant use the Aussie gift cards on the UK site…

  • The Phantom just wasted a mountain of his time trying to get this to work, which is what happened last time.

    One day it will work, and i'll get banned from either eBay and/or PayPal when it does … for a lousy $30.

  • Stuck on paypal.

    "We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option"

    Any idea if the code would work if payment is direct with credit card?

    • I had the same issue, I tried using 2 different cards and it kept on telling me to use a different card/paypal account.

  • +1

    So just be aware you don't want to spend too much, that will bring the risk of getting yourself banned
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/485568

    10% is average deal, not 15% not 19.6%.

    It seems if you spend $3500 on thos digital gift cards, PayPal will start to ask you to provide ID and other documents to verify you.
    If you spend $6000, PayPal might have you banned.

  • No luck once again getting paypal to work.

  • Any way to stack this with the gift cards from the 18% off deal recently?

    • Gift cards can only be used to purchase the real thing, can't be used to purchase gift cards, so no stack

      • I was trying to buy a phone not gift cards.
        By stack I meant the 10% off

        • The Aussie gift cards can only be used on the .com.au aussie site..

          • @FLICKIT: yes, the gift cards can be used on eBay.com.au but it can be used to buy foreign items (e.g. items from eBay.com). i did, and it worked, about a week ago.

            • @whyisave: So no way to stack it then since you need to purchase from the UK site to get 10% off.

  • So, call me stupid, but how do we get WISH egift cards? I can only see ebay gift cards left?

  • +2

    Honestly this is so frustrating. I managed to get paypal entered on the check out screen but then it suddenly asked for some verification and it greyed out again. Now it's back to "We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option.". Anyone solved this issue yet?

  • -6

    Wasted a few more hours of my life, trying different things …

    Deal still doesn't work for me. Paypal account(s) can't be linked.

  • 3 and a half hours later and still no gift cards
    :(

    • +1

      I just bought the gift card, and received it 5 mins after the purchased.
      Check your junk mail, maybe they went there.
      Cheers

  • Sorry, this payment option isn't available. Here are your options:

    Select a different payment option.
    Contact PayPal customer service to resolve this issue.
    
    • call paypal its a security trigger that is stopping it they can lift it takes like 5 minutes.

    • +1

      This gets mentioned several times every deal. Not a reason to neg.

  • Used my brothers paypal together with my other ebay account and it worked. No clue why mine never works.

  • Just tried it now - gift card delivered within 5mins. Thanks OP.

  • +1

    Think the codes gonna be PISSED if we dont get our giftcards soon! :)

  • does anyone know when this deal ends?

    • seems to be sunday morning around 10 am

  • +2

    That 18% discount, a couple of weeks ago was awesome.
    I just didn't buy more than AU$ 500 and I wished that I did.
    I used it immediately, for something that I had been eyeing from the U.S.
    ( that 18% discount disappeared when you take into account US$ conversion, US shipping costs and the pesky 'import duties' these days on eBay )

    This time, I feel like I can skip this, because I'm stocked up on 10% gift-cards, from the last 6+ months,
    and it's harder to find deals on eBay, when AliExpress has more stock (and cheaper) and lots more items popping up on Gumtree or Fb Marketplace, and I can't use eBay coupons there.

  • Bought 1 gift card. Just have 1 limit left :)
    Thanks OP

  • Keep on getting "We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option." Don't know what to do to get it fixed. Can someone help?

    • This is supposed to be the point where you call PayPal, but going by what happened last time it seems to be a lottery as to who you get and whether they actually help you.

      • Yeah I called them and they fixed. Anyone having the same issue, call Paypal

  • Sigh … I’m still a sucker for punishment aka repeatedly trying overseas eBay deals that PayPal never lets me participate in
