if the code is gone, it might mean the offer has reached its limit and been withdrawn

As of 10 seconds ago, it was still on the home page, Crikey. 🙂

I did buy using it this morning, showed the discount, but when I checked my paypal account the full amount had been deducted. Maybe I missed something. By the way I had to go all the way to the last page of purchasing before the box for the code could be viewed and clicked on apply.

Good luck

There were a limited number of offers available so the quota may have been reached and you will not get it.

I bought earlier this morning with no problems.

what a scam, stunts like this will make me less likely to shop on ebay from now on. yes i am annoyed i get an email telling me i will get a 15% discount, but oh sorry, theres none left! are you reading these ebay?? The only things i mainly buy on here nowdays are unique collectible type items and ebay have managed to start ruining that too, i miss the old days 😞

i clicked on the link in the email that says 'get coupon code' then it takes me to here Or i am i supposed to buy something first? because it makes it look like i need to get the code first.

the code was on the ebay home page, however some are reporting that it is no longer working, maybe they reached to total number of discounts for the day already

(you need to read the ''small print'' / terms and conditions

The code is displayed on the front page on the big red square, right under where it says 15% off

if it is still active - this is the code

CBIGSUNDAY

ok cool thanks, looks like they messed up the link though. I missed the front page because i have my watch list as the Ebay bookmark so thats what i see first.

i'm still a bit sus of it & reading the T&C carefully, 'total purchase value of $50 or more) on one transaction', so do multiple items from the same seller but paid for at the same time count? i'm guessing if it does i would have to make sure they send a combined invoice?

Re: promotion code

*crikey*mate* — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 08:17:46 GMT

barney, earlier today, this is what I did

I bought 3 items off one seller

1 item off another seller.

I then clicked on the item I really wanted the discount on just in case it didn't combine

but from there it took me to a page with all the purchases I hadn't payed for yet.

I could either pay for them all or just click on a little button that says "pay only this seller"

I opted to pay for them all

I submitted the code

it applied the discount to all of them

in paypal it shows both sellers being payed and the relevant discount applied to both of them

That's how it worked for me

Oh, mine were coincidentally all free post, so i didn't need to wait for a combined discount for postage invoice thingy

Re: promotion code

barney_rubbles — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 08:39:36 GMT

i was thinking more along the lines of if it was more than 1 item from the same seller & i paid for them seperate then it would treat it as more than one transaction & not be in their T&C hence swindling me out of my discount

Re: promotion code

*crikey*mate* — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 08:43:22 GMT

yep, once you pay - that's it - no second bites of the cherry.

The T&C do say all in one transaction - so not really any swindling

and I don't know a song to go with that

The only workaround I can think of involves creating another account and paying by credit card with Paypal Express.

Re: promotion code

barney_rubbles — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 08:54:19 GMT

true, but theres not that much i want to buy, i have unpaid for items but since i didn't buy them today it won't apply
