Any one else got the email for a $10 voucher if you use the ebay mobile app?

After I got the email I bought something on the ebay mobile app using a paypal account with the same email, but I havn't got an email with the $10 voucher.

Any one else got the email and received their voucher?

Terms and conditions for the promotion...

Crikey, the promotional email I received was sent to a zero feedback account which I've never used, and you're dead right; it was extremely inconvenient having to log in under my alternate ID in order to buy a spare remote I need, although I have to admit that with the $10 discount, it was cheaper to obtain on ebay than anywhere else, my local Toyota dealer included.

I just wonder what possessed ebay to send a discount voucher to an account which has essentially lain dormant for the better part of 18 months. Perhaps they never expected it to be redeemed... 🙂

They're probably trying to encourage us to buy something, not connecting the dots that we already do on other accounts.

Whatever the reason, I think it's a wonderful idea as it benefits both buyers and sellers equally. 🙂

No such thing as a free lunch-just saying.............................Richo.

As hard as I look Richo, I just can't seem to find any catch to my having saved $10 off an item I needed to buy anyway, and as far as I can see, the only ones out of pocket appear to be Paypal. This time, at least.

I got one of those emails also.  I bought an item with the app, paid for the item with the app...... and no voucher sent.

I rang ebay on the 1800 number today and I was told that it was a spam email and not sent by ebay nor paypal.  They also said that unless this message appeared in my ebay messages inbox it was not authentic, nor will they be sending out any voucher.

Spam!? Really? It looks authentic though, and the email has my full Name and ebay id.

And what about the terms and conditions page thats on the ebay website?

hman545 I thought it was authentic too, which was why I specifically made a purchase on ebay last night with the app on my ipad which I have never done before.

I feel like I have been taken for a ride now after ebay told me today it was spam and I would not receive any voucher.

Did you make a purchase via the app on ebay and did you get sent a voucher code through your email after you had made a purchase?

Mine also had what you mentioned as per below:-

eBay sent this message to xxxxxxxxxxxx(my full name was here) (xxxxxxx my ebay user id was here).
Your registered name is included to show this message originated from eBay. Learn more.

Yep I used the ebay andoid app and bought a couple things, but no code or email was received after that.

[kimmidoll001]

I wonder how many other ebayers have been had? 

Like you say the email looks authentic enough and to add salt into the wound they add that part to the email to say the registered name is included to show that the message originated from ebay, what a joke when ebay themselves told me it was a spam email today!!

This is precisely what my promotional email looked like, although I believe that those using mobile apps were sent completely different emails from the one below.  The code below has been used and is no longer valid.
