Apparently i have $20 to spend on Ebay?

I also got this sms buy I was suspicious because the phrasing "you have A $20" so I did a search for the number provide to stop the sms's and I found this page and many more declaring it a SCAM. So don't enter any information or even click the link if u can avoid it (which stupidly I did -- but afterwards I tried to access the page that loads via my normal eBay app and the external site and coukd find anything page that looked even remotely the same -- which is when u did the number search I should have done 1st). I hope this helps

Apparently i have $20 to spend on Ebay?

a couple of weeks ago I got an SMS from eBay for a $20 voucher.  The terms and conditions changed after a few hours to include that the $20 voucher was only available if it showed in the vouchers section of the “My eBay” page. I called eBay to sort it out and, sure enough, the SMS was genuine . . . . . . but it didn’t show on my “My eBay” page.  

 

After a few minutes the CS suggested I look on my other eBay IDs.  The voucher did appear on one of my lesser used IDs, one I hadn’t used for quite some months.  I use the same mobile number for all my IDs, but this is my main ID nowadays and I made a wrong assumption that it applied to this account.  I used the voucher on that other ID by putting two items from different sellers into my cart on that ID then proceeding to checkout.  The items were from Australia with ‘free’ postage and totalling $19.81

 

I got two phone cables for my new mobile FOR FREE.  When I went through checkout I just put the voucher code in and it came up with to $0.00 total owing.

 

So, if you have other IDs it may be for use on one of those.

further to my previous posts on this thread, I just used the $20 voucher on the ID it appeared on and I bought some more phone cables totalling $18.01 and only paid the $1 GST on one of the items (I bought two of them).

 

So, eBay paid $18.01 and I paid $1 and I am a very happy chappy.

Text received about discounts. My number is on the Do Not Call list. I sent a message to them to say I have reported them for this breach. They will receive fines. Put your number on the Do Not Call list and report them - make them pay

if you received the text on the number you have registered with eBay it might be hard for anyone to fine them.  Check your account preferences, there may be a way of opting out of receiving the texts.
