MAGIC10 code...only for some though....pathetic!!

Ebay practicing discrimination towards all members by sending out a 10% off Everything onsite but only to favoured people!!

See details here: https://pages2.ebay.com.au/Buyer_coupons/magic10?rmvSB=true

I have tried to purchase different things using this code and it rejects it yet it is valid! It's even listed on the coupons page as current!

It's a stinking disgrace that ebay have done this.

Some get some promos and others different ones.

Don't worry you get some at other times that they don't.

Did you spend $50 minimum excluding postage?

Good point, imastawka!

I have some nice 20% discounts being waved in front of my nose by eBay at the moment. I frequently let these float off without using them, unless there's something I absolutely want to buy... which I'd planned to buy before the discount was dangled before me. There are a couple of things on my buy list, but I don't think the most important one is available on eBay. However, the all-singing all-dancing coffee machine might be... if they have it in cranberry. However, that's not an urgent buy. I have plenty of ways to make coffee, after all... and I have the most delicious coffee beans to hand. Indonesian Bali "God Mountain" and Brazil "Rio Verde" ... oh blessed polyphenols of glory!

No Kopi Luwak?

I haven't the intestinal fortitude for that.

The civet does.

Yes - poor civets... You'll never see a civet sipping Kopi Luwak, though!

(Even if I wanted the taste of Kopi Luwak, I wouldn't buy it. Ridiculous prices for what is simply a sales racket! Not to mention cramming civets into cages to be force-fed in appalling conditions.)

Apparently Black Gold is the most expensive coffee. Processed by Thai elephants in the same way.

On the odd ocassion I drink coffee, Arabica does me. I'm a (black leaf) tea drinker. I drink Nerada, as I like it and it's grown in Queensland. It's still generally cheaper than Liptons.

When it comes to black tea, I love the Russian Caravan blend. I always have Lapsang Souchong on hand; a little of that added to any other tea gives it that wonderful smokiness which I love.

White tea and green tea (Genmaicha only, as I like the toasted rice flavour) are also always on hand; I have at least one cup a day, not only because they're delicious, but also for their high antioxidant content.

I tried it on an item over $50, doesn't bluddy work man!

I passed on a 5% off code (not worth it) and now eBay has sent me a $15 off - for three days - provided I spend at least $120.

Looking at the stuff I'm watching at the moment, spending $120 is not going to happen either.

Perhaps eBay might like to have another go (third time lucky). I'd like 15% (or more) off with a VERY minimum spend. 😉

Are you listening eBay?? (And yes, that is a joke - I know they don't read the boards).

The $7 off anything with no minimum spend has worked on 3 of my accounts. Stocked up on cello bags and ebay postage satchels.

Also received a List for free with no FVF or listing fees - from 1/06/18 - 04/06/18

I have that email as well. The only item I'm seriously considering at the moment is a Breville espresso machine; as it's nudging close to $2000, $15 is not going to dent a hole in that price.

pancaket52, I was reading your post, thinking "What on earth does s/he want with lots of bags for a cello?" and then did a mental double-take. Cello as in short for cellophane rather than cello as in short for violoncello...

I got it because I do crafts and in a kit I bought years ago is a packet of small cello bags....which I've never used.

It's dreadful stuff to work with sometimes.

I hate shortening words - especially when they then have a double meaning - but I have a favourite seller of these bags and searching for cellophane bags never brings him up - but - cello bags do!

I suppose I could just 'follow' him instead of spending most of Saturday afternoon trying to find the store name because I can't find my previous purchases!

Anyway as to the $7.00 discount - my OH decided to use his Voucher (which also worked) to buy a new beaut black steel watch from China for which he paid 0.45c with free post.

Yes I know - but the watches last for about as long as the short attention span he has for the type of watch he likes!
