fri3ndly Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Rant begins: eBay sent me a £25 off any purchase over £50 discount voucher for easter (has anyone else got this?). Anyhow, I read the T's & C's and made sure I met the criteria and I did. I then proceeded to buy a very expensive 2 tonne sports jack and pay for it using Paypal as requested.... Low and behold the damn voucher code displayed 'This voucher cannot be used from your Paypal account' once I had entered it. What a con! Its harsh on the seller but I am not going to pay for the item until ebay/paypal sort it out. I havetried to contact them, but I will most probably recieve a computer generated response without any relevance to my query in a week or two. Rant over.

SILKYSMOOTH Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I got one a couple of days ago, worth £20 off, if the item is worth over £50 or more. I was waiting for something like this to happen, did you read the T&C's 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Very much seems like a con - not suprised at all. How come you're getting these offers? I was only offered the £5 off anything from ebay if I paid by Paypal, it worked fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it is valid until the end of March Grrr its so annoying There is one thing on the T&C's that's not entirely clear, which is...the value of the item including postage costs, does this count or does the item alone have to be valued at £50 or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it means it has to come to a total of over £50. I will post up my T's & C's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I had the same problem but I worked out what was wrong. The email address of your eBay account needs to match one registered with paypal. In my case, I had [email protected], [email protected] but my third eBay email address ([email protected]) whilst registered with eBay was not registered with Paypal (since I have people pay ric@ for Paypal). To fix, simply check where your eBay emails for the account the coupon is for, and then add that email to Paypal. They accept about 9 email addresses on one Paypal account. Let me know if I can be of any more help. For the record, my account with 100 feedback get a £10 voucher and my 3 accounts with 1000+ feedback got nothing... rather odd.
