Re: Has anyone used the CAUXMAS13 code?

I received the offer for 10% off one purchase, to be used by the 31st of December.

It is attached to the ID that received the email regarding the offer.

My question is: has anyone used it for a multiple purchase on a single BIN listing?

Does the discount apply to the one item, or more than one in that situation?

e.g. buy one pair of shoes at 50$, receive 5$ back; buy two pairs in the one transaction, receive 10$ back?

Asking this here rather than in the Answer Centre, so that people will check their accounts and hopefully see they have the discount too 🙂

Without having anything to test it on at the moment, I'm going to interpret the T&C's literally, and say it will discount only one item :

The voucher is valid for 10% off the total purchase price for one item, up to a maximum discount of $50, on eBay.com.au only. This voucher can be used for one transaction only.

It says total purchase price, I assume, because it includes postage, but theoretically a quantity higher than one (of the same item) is still a single purchase, so...(I imagine it would be difficult to apply the offered discount when there are various items in the same transaction, but it might be different when you buy two of the same item).

In short

¯\(°_o)/¯

Precisely. It's a safe bet to assume one item, one discount...but it is 10% off one transaction...including the post...😕

I'm looking at two different item listings, and thinking about the overall discount. So that's why I am procrastinating and not just finding this out for myself by buying 🙂

It's a pity you can't know for sure until you take the plunge and test it (or someone else does). I have something I'm interested in using it for, but the seller has singles and doubles listed separately, and buying the pack of 2 is cheaper with or without the voucher... So, I'm no help whatsoever. o_O

hmmm

I shall give it a day or so before committing to the unknown.

Are you familiar in any way with the sellers? You could maybe ask them to do a custom listing for you, so that 2 x pairs is the one item.

I have not seen this particular offer but in the past the discount has been off the total invoice price no matter how many items are on the invoice.

amber-eyed-girl · ‎23-12-2013

Digi, I have negotiations in the works, but not sure if they will, as they seem a bit confused by it all.

Lyndal, thank you 🙂

Having just bought two identical items off one listing, I can now say that the voucher will deduct 10% off the price of the one item only.

And did not take anything off the shipping.
