One for the app

bakeandfry — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 01:35:09 GMT

Spend at least $75 in one transaction via the app and put "appy75" into the redemption code box during the checkout process.
Get $25 off.
The $75 does not include postage costs.

I'm not speshul either, mine is also spend $50 to get $15 off. Problem is, even though my version of the app is the latest version, supposedly with all the bells and whistles, you still can't combine postage. I have way more than $50 in my purchase history ready to pay and around $75 more with current bids on with the same seller, but they are multiple items, so can't use the promotion anyway. Maybe I need to update my feedback on the app to mention how it's not new and great because you still can't combine postage.

I thought it was a good offer, quite a saving . I have had some really nice plants iv been watching for a few months, $75 +$25 post so I snapped them up and am quite happy

mind you im always sure the app uses more internet so prefer the standard ebay ,I know on my phone it uses heaps of data if I peek at ebay.

I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with the offer, because there's not. The problem I have is, I never buy anything at a single price over $50. While I might spend $2-300 in a single transaction with a seller, that's for many items between $1 and $30. As you can't combine postage using the app, I won't be able to use it. If I try to pay for my purchases, it will only let me pay 1 at a time.

If eBay is eating a lot of your data and battery, install Avast Battery saver on your device (it's a free app). You can see at a glance which apps are draining battery and data and kill them (they restart when you reopen them). I've found eBay and Facebook to be the biggest drain on both battery and data (dropbox is a battery drainer too when it feels like it).

That is a problem , pity the seller cant do one listing for you with the items you want as that may be the only way around it I think. May be worth asking if items you want are buy now and not already purchased.

That app sounds good will find it as I already have avast security and they are good.

thanks for that ...

Dont you use cart on app Tippy?

While combine postage is a fault on app, it is easy work around by asking for an invoice and paying that way, easiest way in my books

thanks for sharing this bakeandfry. so I installed the app, well it asked if I wanted to switchwhich I did on my iphone. I can't see the offer written in my home page and not sure where to see any confirmation of the offer on the phone app. I don't want to spend $100 and find the $25 discount doesn't work. any hints where I can see if this has worked?

I clicked on the link from the discussion boards on my phone, took me into itunes and upgaded, looks different but unsure where to see I've qualified.

one further question, can I use it on an overseas listing which shows on ebayaustralia page? paying with paypal attached to my id of course

Re: One for the app

bakeandfry — Mon, 27 Jun 2016 04:27:03 GMT

Put your items in cart and go to part where it says redeem voucher

Then in redeem part just tick the box (well was for me anyhow)

Sorry missed this one 🙂

Yes oversea listing is fine, as long as its done through the app.

I sometimes go to ebay.com instead of ebay.com.au via browser and wack stuff on watch list, it forces it on to the app then i check out.

Unfortunately I don't think you can put auction wins in the cart. I couldn't find how to do it anyway. My purchases were all auctions. I can only see the option on the BIN's.

BEWARE!

THE EBAy techs are aware the appy code doesn't work for everyone. didn't work for me. I had ebay call me and they said pay in full and they credit the $25 to your paypal acc 2nd week of july.

I have had a similar problem in that I had the $15 dollar offer today and it would not work in the App because I use 2 step login with a code sent to my phone/ I am certain this is why it would not work but they wont tell you that. I lhave talked them and gave details and am being refunded the $15 in 7 to 10 days. Ill let you know how that pans out. I have a copy of the transcript. Anyone else having this same problem???

Re: One for the app

breaknegg — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 07:48:38 GMT

Well its been over a week and still no refund, I am assuming it will drag out to the full 21 days then I will have to chase it all up, good thing I kept the chat log, Confidence in Ebay is at an all time low for me.

I have now waited 23 days and rang them, and they have told me I will have to wait up to another 21 days because the of an error their end.The time I have spent on this simple request is astonishing, in the end I told them to jam the $15 and I will not be suckered ever again by eBay.Absolutely disgusted eith them, a shocking company to deal with. Ebay are the online version of Telstra, so big and bloated they cannot function anymore.
