It worked on the checkout however my PayPal is showing up I paid the full price of £204? It was meant to be £163
The paypal website shows the full amount.. as this is what the seller gets.. click on it to expand it and see if it has the discount listed like this:
£35.85
Voucher-negative £7.17
Postage and Packaging£0.00
Tax£0.00
Purchase total£28.68
Fee£0.00
Total£28.68
See details on classic site

If Paypal page says wrong code or similar, enter code again manually and click apply & it should be applied.

>>>>>

For those who think they've been overcharged:
1. Log into www.paypal.com
2. Click on one of the transactions from today where you used the code
3. You'll see something like this:
Your purchase £159.00
Voucher-negative £31.80
Purchase total£127.20
Total£127.20

Code not working?
Try using chrome browser with chrome eraser extension installed and run it to clear *all* you crap
from previous visits and cookies and the like..
Switch your DSL/ADSL router off and back on again after above workaround
Log back into ebay and paypal, make sure you have at least £10 in clear funds on
your paypal account balance [send yourself a tenner from your bank or top up card]
and then try your purchase again ;-)

spend another £260.00, use the discount code to reduce price. then return original (full price) purchase for a refund! you're welcome.

I would have been all over this but unfortunately Paypal have decided that after several years of using them I now need to prove my identity (despite only using them as a buyer, not a seller, and mainly for eBay purchases) and the verification process is still ongoing meaning that I cannot buy from eBay using my Paypal account at present :disappointed:
I rarely receive any form of discount from eBay so this would have been handy.

the key point most people are failing to note here is

so for those who think its open to all, just be cautious before you all decide to spend £20 + and find out the code wont work for you.

Interesting by eBay/paypal, sales down? I'm a seller on eBay and I can tell you me and thousands of other sellers have notice a huge decline in sales for the past two years.
Doesn't help they keep changing things.
ed1980 to Darren282940
31 Mar 16#85
Totally agree with you, i sell more items on forums/facebook then on ebay now.
martinch to Darren282940
31 Mar 162#87
Speaking as a consumer, I see there are several reasons for your downturn in sales.
1. There's many more people selling on ebay these days
2. Postage is relatively much more expensive, especially for the smaller items, therefore making your prices less competitive
3. Amazon can often sell goods cheaper than ebay
4. Chinese ebayers and websites are dumping loads of very cheap electronic gadgets on us with many at free postage
5. I would imagine high street retailers are making their prices more competitive to attract customer
iibdii to Darren282940

DistortedVision
31 Mar 166#81
I'm also confused as to why sellers would increase their prices. The discount is being funded by eBay not individual sellers surely? So if sellers increase their prices by 20% then they would lose out on potential sales.
drummerdickens to DistortedVision
31 Mar 16#86
Or they are confident that people with a 20% voucher are going to go on a buying frenzy regardless.
shabbird to DistortedVision

Other places have taken a stronghold & with Ebays/Paypal & P&P Fees people get annoyed in terms of the profit margin. Personally Ebay was great between when I went on it 1st in 2002 but in all honesty I hardly use it now
AndrewRoss
31 Mar 161#100
I'd imagine it's that too they can increase the prices slightly, consumer still gets it cheaper than it was before the discount and they, the seller, get more money too.
for example - If they put the ps4 upto £250, you pay £199 after discount saving £25 they get £25 extra.

So who is paying the 20%?
If I buy sommat for £100 the seller gets £100 - 80 from me and £20 from ebay? That's a lot of money ebay will be forking out if open to all.
generic_guy to Meathotukdeals

Ebay and Paypal fess = 20%, so eBay drive up trade by waiving their fees. It doesn't actually cost them anything (apart from a few pence in processing costs maybe)

As long as you do it in one transaction yes.. so you must add to basket.. then checkout all the items together.. (they can be from different sellers though)
Saved £22 on some car parts I needed to buy, not too bad! Thanks very much OP :man: (and sorry boss for checking hukd during work hours..)

do you have to "buy it now" before adding the code? isnt that commiting to purchase?
sambartle_theone to Phene
31 Mar 16#226
You use the code when you pay with paypal.. so yes technically you are committing to buy before knowing if the code works.. can you add to basket? If you do that then you can check code prior to buying..

Got a Samsung 850 Evo 1TB SSD for £190ish from Box UK (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361427493343). I know there are cheaper on there, but figured I'd better go for a well known retailer.
I know they've been cheaper in the past, but I haven't seen them drop much below £230 lately.

D'oh.

sorry, wrongly phrased. what i meant was that when you click buy it now it does not bind to anything. Clicking buy it now is equivalent to clicking add to basket and go to checkout, so neither binds until you click pay.

Could we effectively use this to make some money?
I could sell a pair of socks to myself for £250 and pay £200 to myself. Paypal fees etc should leave me a few quid in
sambartle_theone to Chris-C
31 Mar 162#322
Yes cant see why not but its a right hassle.. you'd probably just return them to yourself for a refund for no good reason and then give yourself bad feedback.
m1chaels to Chris-C
31 Mar 16#362
Done this in the past selling something from my account to DW and vice versa, don't forget ebay plus paypal fees is about 13.4% so you will make 6.4% of 250 or £16. Recent offers have had in T&C about not qualifying if buyer and seller share the same postcode - is it in the T&C for this one?
Another way to make money is to list any vouchers you have lying around over face value (eg Tesco ones at 3x face value etc), last time this offer was on all the vouchers sold out very quickly.

so will this code work when you make an offer on a product (e.g if an item is listed as £220 and my offer of £200 is accepted will I still get 20% off my £200 offer?).
sambartle_theone to mrscott31
31 Mar 161#326
It did last time.. but bear in mind if the seller doesnt respond before 10pm but does accept youll be paying the full offer price.
sambartle_theone to mrscott31
31 Mar 162#340
What you could do though.. is a cheeky 180 offer.. they might reply back saying 200. before 10pm.. if not .. you can go and buy it at 9.50 for 220 and still save 40 quid.. which cancels your offer once you buy it..

The sellers have nothing to do with the code, its ebay.. some items are excluded for a variety of reasons.
I know this code is UK only but i chanced it and tried to apply the code and it worked.
Then I selected my Paypal, and the code was invalid. :disappointed:
Just got off the phone to Ebay, told me there is nothing available for Ireland and directed me to the refurbished electronics deal.
Little old Ireland, what a rip off!

I'd check http://www.reddit.com/r/monitors for the next hour or so and find something that suits you.
If you play FPS games (CS:GO, CoD, Battlefield, etc) then go for a 144hz monitor for smoothness.
Otherwise get yourself a 2560x1440 IPS panel. There was one here for £120 earlier today.
I don't think springing for the "budget" 4k options (TN panels) is going to be worth it.

IMPORTANT: you take a risk when there are different items from different sellers in the basket, if one of the seller decide to refund you, you lose all the discount and unfortunately is only 1 code per account

Thanks OP!
Made my order. Put discount code in, and it applied. Paid. Job done.
Then got email from paypal saying I had paid the full amount not inc the discount. Is this a generic email not taking into account the discount? Anyone else find their 'total' according to paypal was before the discount? :/
Ebay emailed... they show the discount. Considering ebay and paypal are the same... random.
PrincessJellybean to Silver420
31 Mar 16#660
EBay and PayPal are totally separate companies now.
If you log into your PayPal account and look at the transaction in question it will show the full amount but when you click on it, it will show a price breakdown showing that some of the amount was paid by the discount...... if that makes sense..... and the amount at the bottom of that breakdown list will be what you have been charged .
Hope this helps :smiley:

There must be a lot of people trying to buy. Bought an iPad pro from Argos Ebay. Payment said there has been an error and didn't appear to get through. But I have checked, it did go through but 50 quid was deducted on eBay but not on Paypal.
So now I'm confused. No emails to confirm anything. Says it available to collect from Argos so will have to go and see if it really is

Check the expiry date for your credit card on your paypal account....the 3 digit number on the back of the card may need updated. If it's a low amount paypal still accept it even if it expired. If its a high price item think its rejected. Not sure what the limit is on expired cards.

matt101101 to EdWasHere
31 Mar 16#723
Why a GTX 570? They're ancient, you can get a much better card in a ~£600 system these days.
That aside, pre-built eBay gaming PCs tend to have horrible PSUs (really I can't over emphasise that point), low end motherboards and cheap, nasty cases. You'll likely be better off building it yourself and knowing that all the components are decent quality and haven't been corner cut to save a few quid in the short term.

The 'Seagate BUP Slim Portable 2TB' is simply a 9mm M9T Samsung HDD with a cool Seagate enclosure.
Removing the enclosure is very easy and you can put the PS4 HDD in its place and use it as a 'free' 500GB External HDD.
The short answer to the person who asked the question is yes; the HDD from the link is compatible with PS4.

There is absolutely no way that a PS4 will be released with 4k capability anywhere near the price of the current one, it will probably be at least £180 more.

Also have this issue.
Ordered 3 items, 2 from one seller and one from another in a single basket.
Added the code, logged in to PayPal, clicked the magic button. It took an age to do anything and showed an error 'This item was marked as paid' after waiting.Not really an error but was in red like an error.
All items vanished from my basket.
Now, 2 items from one seller being marked as paid and showing in my PayPal transaction history and one item showing unpaid and not in PayPal history.
I have no link to pay for the item either.

For those thinking that eBay is losing money here, they are actually very clever.
eBay has had declining sales over the past few years, and this isn't the first time a 20% discount event has happened.
For this event, eBay is basically shelling out the 20% to the seller. The seller will always get the full amount of the original price.
For the majority of items, say < £250, they are probably losing some money, as they charge 10% on the final fee + postage, and add another 3-4% iirc when using PayPal. So really, the loss isn't that big.
The real targets are the big whales. Large amounts of money which when fees are taken, they make money, especially since the discount is capped at £50.
The idea is to catalyse spending during these few hours, and they must have some metrics for it which prove that the big whale profits will eclipse the lower value items.
So, the same goes without saying, don't buy what you don't need!
leebad to AjunNg

Yeah - would have liked £100 but £50 max as above... still pretty cool I could pick it up minutes after ordering!
I was also one of the people on here that managed to get an iPad Air 1 at release for £250 from Currys - don't think I'll ever beat that deal!

At what point are you supposed to add the code?
If I add the code at the ebay checkout screen (where I choose "Pay with") , then the I get the message; Looks like that’s the wrong code. Please try again.
Any help?

At what stage are we supposed to enter the code? After entering the PayPal password and clicking Log In?
timj13
31 Mar 16#842
so is the discount only showing up on the ebay screen?
because when you go through to paypal you end up seeing the full price?!
Anyone else getting this error message? We are having a technical hiccup and PayPal isn't available right now. You can pay with a credit or debit card instead.
I'm trying to buy a shed through Argos Ebay store but it's telling me now to pay with debit/credit card but discount is still showing?

Just be aware that Ebay customer service are playing dumb and saying they have no idea about this offer. I called in to cancel an order which I accidentally placed (just wanted to see if the code worked) and the guy started arguing with me about the offer. I told him it's RIGHT ON THE FRONT PAGE. He kept going on about 'if you didn't get an email, it's not official' and proceeded to give me a lesson on phishing.

Yea got it, in fact you only see it via the Classic site version of Paypal, the way it works is Ebay give your Paypal acc a Voucher worth £10 then take the full amount, eg +10 -54 = 44 but it shows on Paypal as £54 paid. Bit confusing on the Paypal site

My paypal payment shows the full amount but if you look in the transaction details it shows the discount applied. I had £160 (rounded down) in my PayPal funds and bought £160 (rounded up) worth of NAS HDDs. I now have £35 (rounded up) in my funds still which means I paid the £130 ish actual price, not the £160 full. Did that make sense ?:confused:

Depends how you use it. If you're after a top end home tablet for entertainment and light PC style use (with the additional keyboard) then it's a very good option. However, if you want a PC replacement then something like the Surface is probably better.
Want a tablet that can occasionally be used in laptop mode? iPad Air Pro
Want a laptop that can occasionally be used as a tablet? Get a Surface
Depends what you're using it for really, and what ecosystem your other devices (smartphone etc) run on.

to get around the load!] in the UK, so well done!!!!
Got some bits and also tried it with my AIO ebay smartphones hukd thread and *some* were reduced
by the extra 20% from the already 40-55% reduction ;-) Not all are showing until actually paying but
now makes the ones that ebay forgot to increase last night ready for this 20% offer, a right deal!

Make sure you have a positive balance in your paypal account, say £10 or whatever, then checkout and pay
the difference via your other payment methods ;-)
4 items in basket, applied code and checked out... 3 items failed to check out (no idea why, was on ebay mobile). The 1 tem i bought successfully all good and paypal receipt showing the discount. apply code again for remaining 3 items and it applied successfully, checked out and this time only 2 items successfully bought.... paypal receipt shows i paid full price for these two. and i still have 1 remaining item to pay for! !! grrr. will be chatting to customer service when i get home.

I just did another order via my mum's account for some items she wanted.
6items in total, 1 of which she really really wanted. 5 items went through checkout, and Sod's law the one she really wanted didn't actually checkout! It's still available to purchase, but the voucher won't work for a second purchase. The £16 saving would have been really nice. Booooo.

You have "paid" argos the full amount! The thing is how was this funded? 20% would have been funded by the coupon and 80% from you.

All is okay.
If you go to ebay click View PayPal Transaction its all itemised.
If you are with Lloyds Bank and click 'pending transaction' the 20% IS applied.
Its just a PayPal 'glitch' all is Okay.
Hope this helps

British dragon is a fool
He is telling everyone to read the first post when actually it's wrong
You have to apply the code twice, once when you click buy in ebay and then when you select paypal and enter all your details, the item will be full price again AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN AND ENTER THE CODE AGAIN!
The OP does not mention this and british dragon is replying like he knows everything and costing people money

It should take the 20% off (maximum 10 different sellers) all of the basket.
Only problem is sometimes it doesn't seem to checkout all of the items in your basket.

I'm hoping this is the case. I took a screenshot of the eBay checkout completed screen showing what the the voucher amount was, as nowhere in PayPal does any discount or similar appear.
If they too the full amount, it simply means that eBay/PayPal have taken more than they said they would / invoiced me for.

So anoyed. Order two things, the biggest amount was for a mattress from Argos (they had a 20% off a £150 and the mattress was £250). My basket showed the extra 20% off from Argos themselves and the CUK20 showed a £50 discount. Order was processing and then came back with part of my order had not gone through - the mattress. So in the end I ended up using my eBay 20% off on the cheaper garden bench - took off £20! Now I can't make use of the discount again!

Just make sure it's buy it now and you can checkout before the voucher expires. Last time the voucher said 'valid until 10pm' but when it reached a limit they pulled the code, so do it sooner rather than later.

Seems to be selected retailers.
"Return to merchant and try a different payment method" when I try to confirm the final purchase by logging into PayPal.

Just tried another one now and it's "we can't apply this voucher to your order"

Paypoo? Paypal & Amazon Payments are the only forms of payment I use. If a company can't be bothered using one of them, I shop elsewhere! Safe, reliable, and you often get some very good deals when paying using either method. No idea why you think it's "poo", but each to their own I guess.

For those of you that were confused when you had a notification pop up for the full amount from paypal, instead of the voucher working in a normal way, it credits your paypal account with the discounted amount and then takes it out as part of the full payment

Yes, if the seller replies before the voucher expires.
From memory sellers have 48 hours to decide whether or not to accept the offer, so if they accept after the expiry you'd be in a bit of a pickle.

Downside is that as you are buying via a 3rd party, the credit card protection for anything over £100 is null and void, so you have to rely on the good offices of the said 3rd party if your purchase goes tits up.

I've had issues with PayPal being a pain, hence the nickname paypoo. They reversed a 'gift' payment and also blocked an account despite being sent drivers licence, passport copies etc. as proof of identity.
Getting through to someone who can actually help you and isn't limited to repeating whatever the screen tells them to say is...a challenge!
But when it works, I'll admit, it's great.

I placed an order on eBay and applied the discount code, the reduction was shown and then I confirmed the purchase/payment and the discount was not applied. I contacted eBay spoke to 2 people and then to someone who said he was an Operations Manager. I was advised to cancel the purchases and then reorder them and again apply the discount. The manager actually told me that the discount might still not be applied and that they were receiving hundreds of calls an hour from customers with the same complaint.

Taken the whole amount for me. Yes I have read the OP and yes I did input the code both at eBay and PayPal checkouts. I even got the eBay confirmation order with the discount off but the PayPal confirmation email is for full amount and when I go through order transaction details on PayPal and in eBay there is no sign of the discount. No sign of pending transactions in bank yet but very annoyed as it was 50 quid and something I wouldn't have bought yet.

Actually it IS fraud, as you are entering into a transaction for the express purpose of getting 'free' money from PayPal. Paypal is gaining nothing from this, as you are not actually selling your friend anything. If you ARE actually selling him the item, well, that's an amazing coincidence that your friend wanted the exact item you had. Of course the question then is....why didn't you sell it to him face to face? Why use eBay?
Your defence will not stand up in a court of law, the judge will see straight through it. Sorry.

The Sellers dont loose anything, ebay are paying 20% out of there own pockets to the sellers.

Just got off the phone to a very rude ebay representative. Added the code, then there was an issue with paypal, pressed ok, then pressed pay now. Full amount was taken and no discount. Ebay said I should contact all the sellers to cancel each transaction, then order again adding the code, as long as its before 10PM?
Really poor service

Do you have Internet banking, I presume you do. If you are with Lloyds or TSB click 'pending items'
or phone and ask amount pending with ebay.
I'm 100% sure if you applied code that you will be happy with amount 'pending' - just check

Same advice here to contact the seller and redo the transaction, eBay mobile problem apparently. I am waiting for the supervisor to call me back.......
I wanted the Nexus deal off Argos for £249.99 went in at tea time and missed it as ended last night full price £279.99 so obviously was disappointed then see this find the same phone on Ebay enter code and bam £230.00 £50 pounds saved. So extra £20 saved. Thank you very much OP HUKD delivers again!!!

31 Mar 1610#1563
LOL - How funny!
I've spent two and a half hours trying to check out with my wife's Ebay/Paypal account. Every time it said there was a problem - I must have tried 50 or 60 times. I'd already used my account to buy £240 of stuff, which I got £48 discount on! Thanks OP! But each time I tried to log into her Paypal account it just locked up.
So as I'd used my account, I was trying to use my wife's account to buy my son a laptop for uni - £199.99 (so looking to save £40). After two and a half hours I finally got into my wife's Paypal account only to find it's limited/restricted since we last used it almost 3 years ago. They wanted all sorts of ID back then (even though she'd been a member and had used Paypal for a few years) which we couldn't provide so hadn't used it since - but forgot about the restrictions. We now have the ID but no time to get it to Paypal to unlock the account before 10pm.
So I trudged over to my son to explain the bad news (he's been playing games on his PC all night) and asking him if he was happy to pay £200 (full price) for the laptop? He said, rather dejectedly, "Yes I guess so". I said I was sorry and that I'd tried. He then asked why I'd left it so late to try, so I explained I'd spent two and a half hours trying!!
He then said, unbelievably, "Well shall I use my Ebay account then?". W-H-A-T ??? I said how could he buy it? He said, "I'll use my account" - I said "You don't have an account" to which he replied "I do". WTF??
It turns out he's had an Ebay AND Paypal account for the last 9 months since he turned 18 AND NEVER THOUGHT TO MENTION IT TO ME ALL EVENING WHEN I WAS MOANING ABOUT F*$KING PAYPAL!!!
Typical teenager!!
So he logs into Ebay, adds the laptop to his basket and checks out successfully with the £40 discount in less than 1 minute!!
Well I'll never get those two and a half hours of my life back again! And you know what he said to that? "Well you will if you stop smoking and do some exercise". Lol - I may be old, but I still have a long memory............................
I think.

What??? So if it says payment pending you don't get discount thanks to paypal not working right? Ffs. Wife spent £100 and it didn't get discount on paypal despite eBay showing it.

They should do this more often, they must have made a fortune today. How many people have ordered stuff they don't need/want or wouldn't have ordered off eBay to start with? I know I wouldn't of.
Chiptivo to GimmiSomeOfThat
31 Mar 16#1866
They have lost a fortune today, this is at a pure lose to Ebay.
The fees to the sellers are about 10%, they have to pay the seller the full amount before discount. So they are running at a 10% loss for everything sold tonight, probably hundreds of thousands of pounds for this promotion.

eBay up to their usual standard - try to use a discount code 15 minutes before it expires and the system won't go through and just prints "Oops, we're having technical difficulties" when you put the code in until after the time for the end of the discount expires. Third time this has happened in last year or so when they have offered a discount. Bit convenient that it's always "Technical Difficulties". You would think they would have sorted out their IT department and systems by now so they could deal with the volume of purchases!

Finally getting time to lopok in on this, the code wouldn't go through at 9.58... but trying it again at 10.04, it was still accepted and my order went through.
For those reporting being changed the full amount in PayPal, check the transaction detail - you should see a "voucher" element of the payment.

They'll have done all the calculations before running the promo - Sometimes there's some odd tax implication or something that can mean it makes sense to offer an overgenerous promotion just before the end of the financial quarter.
They know what they're doing.
It's like when talktalk offer people to pay line rental upfront - Corporate HQ have done their sums on borrowing a few hundred million £'s from their lenders @ x% vs. borrowing it from their customers at y%

Same. If they take full amount from bank and/or the difference isn't refunded then I'll need to deal with them too. Hopefully it'll all work out as it should without using to do anything though.
edit: just checked my emails and both the correct amount and the discount is displayed there so if things don't work as intended automatically then we've at least that to go on since as far as ebay is concerned, the discount should have been applied.

Check PayPal and it is showing as full amount but if you go into the transaction it is correct.

I did it all by the book and finished the payment (before 10pm), but purchase pages just show payment pending...check out page show this
"If your payment is declined for some reason, we'll send you an email to let you know. You should then come back to your item(s) and try your payment again."
and my Paypal account not even showing anything?!
I have never have problem to pay eBay items with Paypal.....
so what's now?
anyone have such experience too?

The transaction will always show the entire amount paid to the Seller, you just have to look to see how it was funded. Go to your Paypal and click Details for that transaction and you will see if any coupon or discount was applied.

People keep saying the same thing, I have already checked the details of the transaction on PayPal and there is NO discount applied and its taken the full amount from my bank.
Like I said, I did not authorise for that amount to be taken from my bank! If this isnt sorted I will report it as a fraudulent transaction and claim it back because thats seriously unfair!

Try using chrome browser with chrome eraser extension installed and run it to clear *all* you crap

Switch your DSL/ADSL router off and back on again after above workaround
Log back into ebay and paypal, make sure you have at least £10 in clear funds on
your paypal account balance [send yourself a tenner from your bank or top up card]
and then try your purchase again ;-)

Doesn't seem to work for multiple items. it shows a discount for one item and the other two I bought have no discount applied. Offer says it applies to multiple items from multiple sellers so long as it's in a single purchase so should have worked. I'll see how it goes but may have to be something I need to sort out with Paypal if they've not got that working properly.
SeanyK
31 Mar 16#2049
For those who say they cannot see the discount in the transaction - it means it hasn't gone through. When you apply the discount code at the eBay check out It shows the discount - then press buy - ok that's fine. But if it shows the discount but then that disappears as the wheel icon spins - it means it's not applying it. Code still working now btw

Hello.
Sorry, we were not able to process your PayPal payment for £139.18 for one or more items.
If you would like to purchase and pay for this item / these item(s) with another payment method, please return to your basket to check out and submit payment again.Remember, great deals don't last long on eBay, so some of your items may have already been purchased by other buyers.Complete payment soon to avoid missing out.
Thanks for shopping on eBay.

Will people stop saying check transaction details in PayPal? I have and others have too. The discount hasn't been applied in PayPal ANYWHERE or in the email from PayPal. We just need to contact eBay I guess. They can't charge us full price as that's not what my order said!

Halfords Advanced Professional 200 Piece Socket & Ratchet Spanner Set Hand Tools
Also something to look for if you think you've overcharged...
Funding source:
£12.00 GBP - UK Turbo Coupon #CUK20
£60.00 GBP - BANK XXXX
It's basically adding the coupon amount as a funding source, and then adding it to the discounted cost of the item - which is making it look like it's full price. So, for example, 60 + 12 = full item price, however that 12 is not coming from you.

Haha, I've just logged on to PayPal. It states: "Fatal Failure". I predict world economic meltdown due to Ebay's 20% tax fraud just before the 1st April and facilitated by HUKD's... Start shredding people, and deny all knowledge of mindless consumerism...

Didn't work for me, after reading the many tales of woe I went to check my PayPal transaction details on my pc instead of phone which I ordered on.
No discount despite seeing on the eBay subtotal that turbo discount or something to that effect had been applied.
Guess I'm going to be calling eBay tomorrow.....

Exact same thing just happened to me
Ordered 2 different items earlier from 2 different sellers, one went through and the other never processed.
Gone to try and order the other one again using the discount code and it's applied it to the basket saying it will charge me £31 but instead it's charged me £38 according to all emails and my PayPal account
This deal has been good, but eBay has been an absolutely shambles this evening

I understand where you're coming from but I'm sure there's many people who've used/created multiple account and spent their money on eBay instead of other shops or indeed buying things they don't need or wouldn't have bought right now. They would have seen a significant increase in sales. 10% loss is nothing compared to probably a few hundred percent increase in sales.

Tried to use the code with a few little things I've never got round to actually ordering from my watch list. Not sure what's gone on though. At one point I was told PayPal had gone down, which is hilarious.
The payment for two of my items is still stuck on pending for some reason. So it looks like I've got a 20% discount on less than £20 worth of stuff. Bizarre. Looking at the order details is even weirder. eBay appear to be incapable of basic maths:

Order total

Postage Free
Total voucher amount -£ 25.99
Total £ 78.01
The page where I entered my Paypal details said £104.99
I'm still stuck in "payment pending" limbo and I imagine over night it will come back as payment cancelled and ask me to use a new payment method (by which time the PayPal deal will no longer work)
This is frustrating. Guess I will have to chase this up on the phone tomorrow with customer services. Will be gutted if I have to pay full price

Did that, no discount and full amounts taken from my Amex. Reordered two of the three items again as the third wasn't available to reorder...it worked second time around and the transactions show as you've mentioned. Requested the first two orders to be cancelled and already got a refund on one of them which is good...but a little annoyed that I've paid full price for the third so hopefully eBay or Paypal will do something to refund the difference but not counting on it.

Glad that it's worked out for you...I had 10 items in my basket....processed payment...got stuck on payment page before 10pm...then said payment pending...only one item is showing in my purchase history and paypal as being paid for now...no other items even being shown as being bought unless I click on the order details for the one item that the payment has processed for when it suddenly shows all the items along with messages saying the seller hasn't received payment for this order yet with active Contact seller and return item buttons...won't let me re-process payment using code so as far as I'm concerned they can sod off...not sure how I'm being thick and failing to follow instructions though?
Actually have no idea what to do about the situation either as no idea whether sellers think I've bought the items and just haven't sent payment or what...guess I'm going to have a busy time emailing them all to explain the situation...cheers ebay and paypal for yet another thoroughly miserable experience!

Nope, bought 3 items and the email from ebay shows the voucher discount. however, the paypal receipt email shows the full amount and no mention of any discount or voucher. Logging into paypal and viewing the details of each of the 3 transactions doesn;t show anything about any voucher either!
I'll contact both ebay and paypal tomorrow, I really don't have the strength for a wild-goose-chase right now...

Has anyone from previous deals had issues with the 20% and had it resolved by ebay.
I bought a set of 4 tyres which I intended to have fitted tomorrow, the code appears to have not worked (no discount shown on paypal or ebay), I contacted them and they said it would take 7 days to investigate. I'm a bit dubious as to how this will pan out, so im in two minds as to whether I should just cancel the whole thing with the seller. Do they have a track record with this sort of issue?

I had problems a few weeks ago with a seller offer - £1 selling fees for any item up to £100

Ah, well spotted. Yes, it's doing the same thing to me and just says 'The seller hasn't received payment for this order yet' against the other 10 items. Guess there's nothing I can do except wait and see if the payments do go through when the site stops getting hammered - no point in trying to order again in case I end up ordering twice and wouldn't be able to use the code again now anyway.

I bought something for £449 tonight, the ebay screen came up at £349 the payment went pending but moved to confirmed within 10 mins, this was just before 11, so probably just luck or card clearing house thats connected to paypal, was an amex card I use to fund paypal.

Had a bit of a result.
Been tracking a computer seller originally listed for £350 (It ain't worth £350 and I told him that) a while back. Needed this particular machine as it has a DTX motherboard (Mini ITX with 2 pcie slots...but same size a Mini ITX). Anyway offered the seller £180 cash a while back if I could collect. He turned it down.
i7-3770, 8gb, 2tb, 7770 GPU, DVD. Nothing special but about £230 worth of bits.
Anyway he's been dropping the price over the last couple of months fairly regularly, then purely on fluke I checked the price earlier today and he'd dropped it to £200 with £25 shipping......did deal at the stroke of 10pm....all good and discount applied. £185 inc shipping (saves me driving across London as well).
Thanks OP.....good result for me.

Hey, was that credit back as eBay balance or back into your PayPal balance? Looks like they took the full amount from me so I guess I will have to contact eBay to get the 20% back (even though it gives the correct breakdown on PayPal but the wrong total)?
edit: My bad, I can see PayPal have incorrectly stated the withdrawn amount to be the full price but my available funds reflect the discount. Happy days.

If you had funds in there already, go to your PayPal account and check "activities" which gives a running balance (should include the coupon discount there). The discount was taken into consideration there but shows I paid full price on the homepage for some reason.

Nice one, I got in before the cut-off but got still the full price emails but reduced in PayPal balance. Going to keep a very close eye on my accounts in case something goes pear-shaped. I double-ordered thanks to that weird new PayPal checkout.
I hope you have loads of fun with the PS Vita (if it's for yourself), I must've spent several months of gameplay on it while commuting and during late hours in bed. Made buying it years ago very worthwhile. If you like JRPGs, you're in for a treat.

Hmmm - ordered 2 items one about £40 the other £60. On checking out it showed a discount of £20. On checking PayPal it only shows a discount for the £40 item I'd £8. eBay/PayPal screw up. Still - it's a good way for them to make extra money by over charging. Will check again tomorrow to see if they correct it.

Sellers can only charge the fees shown in the advert but best offers exclude stated P&P
Were you buying from overseas ? If so the extra fee are probably added by eBay for a Global Shipping purchase....these include tracked courier & all customs & import charges
dealchaser888 to DebtFreeWannaBeE

may message the ebay seller asking him to refund the difference, if not success (of any kind) you still have your communication details with this seller so you could tell ebay to get it sort out. (also it help the seller not paying the full ebay fee too, he/she just need to press the refund buttons and you still get the code working)
hope everything fine for you

Thanks! I'm not so fond of the turn based stuff atm but there's a decent amount on there I'm interested in already and there's a chance I could get more into the turn based stuff if it's portable. Got a lot of PS Plus games in my library I can try finally too. Should be nice having a decently powerful handheld for a change. I like the 3DS but the games aren't exactly cheap and I'd like a bit of extra detail every now and then.
Luckily I managed to grab the only Vita that had a mint condition screen too going by descriptions. "good condition... but the left analogue stick doesn't work", "lots of wear and tear" (looked really beat up), scratches and chips on others. You woudln't think a screen would be so hard to keep scratch free lol.

The games vary in genre so you'll be good to go. With the backlog from PS+, you're set for a while anyways. My favourite there was Virtue's Last Reward. The handheld's power is unfortunately not used properly in most games. I think Uncharted Golden Abyss was the best game I played on there visually alongside Killzone Mercenaries.
I also brought a preowned Vita off eBay (was cheap so I didn't kick up a fuss) that said mint condition but it was in bad shape (analog sticks were fine but right trigger area had dog bites or something lol. Both the screen and rear touchpad had surface scratches but it never really mattered when gaming thankfully. I learnt not to assume things are mint on online listings (even here on FSFT :P).

Just checked based on the last few posts and looks like paypal have taken the Full amount, even though the code was used and the subsequent emails from ebay clearly show the discount applied.
Dirty tactic by ebay to scam their own customers and hope that some don't notice that they've been fully charged via paypal, despite the initial ebay invoice showing the discount.
Either way, it's a great way for ebay to fleece us for a short term loan, whilst hoping that some don't notice

*Sigh* looks like i was one of the ones that got plain old screwed over by the system...
One purchase - £250 value.
Apply code - £50 discount. *Great!*
Purchase/confirm....
A paypal popup "You have sent £250 to Mr Igotyourmoneyhahaha"
...Hmmm doesnt seem right....
Check paypal transaction details. No discount code.
Check ebay transaction details. No discount code.
I've checked the last few pages of comments - can anyone say that this has happened to them? (AFTER checking to make sure the transaction details). I have a few paypal issues before actually paying (checkout fails to load, ebay - "you need to start checkout again", discount applying then disappearing) but the time the payment went through it has the discount right there on the screen!!
BTW this was all before 10pm!

"Sorry, we were not able to process your PayPal payment for £104.00 for one or more items.
If you would like to purchase and pay for this item / these item(s) with another payment method, please return to your basket to check out and submit payment again.Remember, great deals don't last long on eBay, so some of your items may have already been purchased by other buyers.Complete payment soon to avoid missing out."
My payment was stuck on pending from just before 22:00pm
What can I do now? I don't want to pay full price for the item. I have confirmation screens with the discounted price at the time. What a headache.

1 Apr 161#2314
Actually, now that I have logged in to my eBay account the item is waiting in my basket and doesn't seem to be in my purchased history anymore. I'd already clicked on the 'confirm and pay' button last night and it was in my unpaid section. I'd rather just forget about this whole mess so I guess this is the best scenario (that the purchase is cancelled). :/

Just not sure how Paypal are doing this, they must be 'technically' bankrupt as of 8am this morning. Its one way to hold up your share price if you've had a bad year I suppose, and your financial year closes 31/03.
You wonder if this is a new pilot form of Quantitative Easing by the EU/Governments. With any drug hit like this, there follows a low, Ebay / Paypal may have just moved these purchases forward, leaving a tumbleweed wasteland / drought for ebay shops / suppliers in the next month.
Starting to wonder if this has anything to do with the EU referendum vote to present rosy economic figures around time of vote?

drama drama drama... ebay/paypal make around 20% off sellers, they waived that for a little while, massively increased their clicks and ad revenue, massively increased purchases, reminded people they were there and almost certainly pushed up auction prices (not buy it now obviously) thus increasing the fees they just gave away.
Simple economics.

Good luck to everybody with payment issues. Last year they had the same promotion around June (CTWENTY) and they screwed up the discount. They then refunded me but it took a couple of weeks and it was only a partial refund. It took me 3 months of chasing them to look into it before they finally refunded me the outstanding balance. They make you wait and blame it on the marketing team - who conveniently take all their time and do not directly respond to any form of customer contact.

Hi, I bought last night just before 10.00 and had loads of problems getting the code to accept, then it suddenly went through but my confirmation messages all said full price. After trying to contact eBay etc. I checked the transaction on Paypal website, and although the headline transaction said the full amount of £54.99, when I opened the detail it did show the discount, and when tracking the transactions I could see the lower amount had been deducted. For those unsure if the discount was applied log into Paypal and look at the transaction detail by clicking on it:
Your purchase
Xxxx xxxx xxxxx.£54.99
Item number xxxxxxx
Voucher-negative £10.99
Postage and Packaging£0.00

I had multiple errors trying to check out a basket of 8 items. Code not applied so tried multiple times and got to the order screen that showed the discount so tried pay now and got more errors - can't pay with Paypal, experiencing technical issues, critical error, payment pending. Eventually went through Paypal at the undiscounted value. Didn't get a confirmation email from eBay until after 10pm although the order completed before and it was for the undiscounted value. Been on the phone to eBay CS and they're passing all these to the marketing people who are considering a mass refund of the discount value. I'm not optimistic - I have nothing that shows the discounted value, I was too shocked when the code worked to take a screen grab and too busy trying to get the payment through. I'll probably not cancel, it was all stuff I needed and would have bought anyway but I pointed out to eBay CS that it's hardly fair to the sellers to drag this out - my stuff is from 6 different sellers and if I cancel or refuse delivery, that's a lot of aggro that eBay has brought on them.

I've just rang customer services and they told me they are aware of the issue, and they will email and "rectify" the issue by April 6th, if we haven't heard anything by then we will need to contact them again. I spoke to some guy called Owen.
By saying rectify it seems they will honour the discount.

No, it's not a scam. Very very many people, not just on HUKD, got a 20% discount on their purchase. That's not a scam. They (and Paypal) underestimated the demand and the impact on their infrastructure. You can argue that they should have foreseen how popular it would be and whether the systems could cope, but it's not an exact science. They got it wrong - that's still not a scam.
I'm also one of the unlucky ones who got charged full whack but it's cock-up not conspiracy.

This is pretty shocking from ebay, social media is full of people who didn't get the discount. They don't really seem to care!
They should have had the balls to admit there was an issue, and tell people not to worry they will sort it out. Instead I got told the code was still live, so I could order more stuff, and that I should contact all sellers and ask to cancel my orders (some had already been dispatched from china), not even an apology. They also questioned whether of not I had even applied to code! Disgraceful

having a code that expires at 10pm is bad timing, it was for UK only paypal linked ebay accounts, so maybe they should do a 2am finish when most people are asleep.
i struck lucky, but payment was a right hassle, and their will always be sore losers who saw it too late and attempted to execute late on, with these deals use it immediately, otherwise they get pulled, oversubscribed, overwhelmed later in the day

Well, now we probably have just as many people complaining and trying to sort out the non-discount as those who ended up buying something just to "save" 20%. True HUKD bargain...20% off stuff that most people didn't have any intention of buying before they saw it on here.

Not good to read that many people didn't get the discount and were charged the full price and ended up paying it without knowing....
The thing is, the code had to be applied TWICE for some people. Once in ebay and then AGAIN in paypal. The original post wasn't clear on this and i think it caught quite a few people out. I know some people said they only had to enter the code once, but this wasn't the case for me and many others.
I did try and point this out many times last night but the thread moved so fast and people weren't reading back so they got caught out thinking they only had to enter the code once.
Hope you all get it sorted and get refunds etc

Thanks elrasho - I was just about to post mine too - it looks exactly like yours (you have to go into the classic look on Paypal) - I bought a washing machine that was £349.99 a couple of tiny things and have £50 discount. The text at the top (and on the main screen you see on Paypal) is the amount sent to the retailer ie regardless of where the funding is from ie part me, part eBay. The key part is the amount deducted from card and mine is showing the correct £300.
I appreciate people are saying they have checked their accounts and the full amount has been taken off and that's definitely not great and I would be raging if it happens to me after all this. To those that have had the full amount deducted can you please recheck your Paypal accounts as above and let us know if it shows the full or discounted amount as per elrasho's great info above?? It will give us all more idea of what's happening ie everyone affected or only some of us (neither option is brilliant obviously!)
Thanks!

I called ebay support this morning after having the discount in my subtotal on my phone, only for it to magically disappear and have the full amount leave my bank account.
Apparently this is a known issue and they have their technical people looking into why some people received the voucher discount when others didn't.
Anyway, I called up this morning and they said they'll be back in touch by the 6th April so I shall wait patiently while they sort themselves out.

This is how it worked for me mate:
I found the item on ebay, full price came up, then there was a box to enter the code, entered code, discount showed up, clicked buy, then asked me to purchase via paypal or credit card, selected paypal, entered paypal login details, logged in, price was showing as the full amount again....
Scrolled to the bottom of that page and there was another box to enter a code, entered code again, then the price changed to the discounted amount and i clicked buy

This hasn't resolved itself for me yet so I've just been on live chat with eBay - took me over 30 mins to get through, they must be swamped! After giving them a few of the item numbers plus the Paypal transaction for the item that was paid for they checked the order and saw the problem but said the case needs to be escalated to their 'specialised team' and I should hear back from them by the 6th April - that's 5 days! Which is ridiculous considering all I need to do is send a Paypal payment, which was authorised last night. I guess all I can do is wait because I don't want to try ordering the items again because I won't get the 20% discount and might end up paying for them again in 5 days!

I wonder if it's to do with the eBay/Paypal set up - ie if you set up the 1 click check out??? There was no place for me to enter the code again on Paypal as I have set it up as 'one click' - I was checking everywhere!

Wish I was as clever as all you folks who thought to take a screenshot showing the discounted voucher!
Discount only worked on 1 of 6 orders for me, most of them failed and did not appear in purchase history.Realised they were still in basket so tried again, purchase went through -after 10pm (showing discount but full amount taken from bank) so suspect eBay will not honour!!

Try looking at the order details of the one item that went through, it may show the whole lot with the discount applied in your order history (different from purchase history). I was in the same situation but directed the sales rep to the order history and he escalated my claim. Not saying it will work, but it might ...

Which laptop is it? The only problem I can think of is drivers. Alternatively you could download the Windows 7 Home Premium ISO from Microsoft or elsewhere, put it onto a USB drive using Rufus, boot the system from the USB and install it that way. Then use the key you have with the DVD.
The laptop should have a recovery partition that you shouldn't remove just incase. If the OS explodes or something you can always go back to Windows 8 that came with it.

Not really that confusing, but thanks for the screen shot. They would do the same thing if you for whatever reason had some credit in your PayPal account.
e.g
£5.00 PayPal credit held in account
£50.00 Coupon
£400.28 from credit card or bank
How else could they show a receipt that you've sent the FULL amount to the seller and how the payment was FUNDED?
The exact method was used the last time they had this promotion.

Yes I have one of those DVDs which has 3 registration keys with it - the jolly old Win7 Home Premium Family Pack. I remember now that when I installed it on our 2 desktop builds, I had to install XP first, then replace. It was a pain but I managed to get it to work on the two desktops.
Do you think it will be easy enough to format the HD and install XP, then Win7? Or do laptops nowadays come with issues preventing downgrades?
Also, am I right in thinking Win8 was updated to give a similar experience/home screen as Win7?

I spoke to eBay chat support about how a bunch of the items I ordered have sort of vanished and not gone through. I did have one item go through but the rest were stuck on pending. I ended up getting a pretty stock response: "Our 20% off offer on March 31st proved to be hugely popular with customers. Due to huge demand, a small number of customers paying with PayPal might have had problems with their coupon. We are currently investigating this issue and hope to communicate back to affected customers in the coming days. If you haven’t heard back from eBay by Wednesday April 6th, 2016 please contact us again." so fingers crossed.

hi, thanks to share this. I have the same things as well. Order go through (have the check out success page but saying pending).
Then only one item show on paypal (payment completed) nothing else (not even anything show on pending column),
At first, every item on that order shows pending around midnight then all disappeared except that one item completed shown on paypal (with the 20% discount).
I live chat early with ebay this morning and she already jumped to the conclusion that was my fault and Paypal as well.
I did not argue and politely pointed out that why no normal ebay purchase confirmed email (even that one go through and is now dispatched already), why items was supposed pending and disappeared.
She just kept saying the old tales and I closed the chat as I need to go to work.
So I am very glad to hear from your experience and I am going to raise this issue to ebay (don’t say all is my fault – I have to shout to them this time).

I also had an issue with the 20% not applying on my final bill, even though I could see the discount on initial order. I have since raised a dispute with ebay to cancel my order. I do not trust the process to wait and see if the discount will be applied, so may cancellations for me.

Just had a thought. When I first looked at the code T&Cs, it mentioned the code was valid in specific categories. Now I didn't actually read what those categories were (I suspect like most people) but perhaps the reason some people didn't get the discount is because maybe the code wasn't valid for the category in which the item they bought was advertised?
Probably not, but just a thought.

I have just finished a 1h30m phone conversation with eBay representatives, supervisor and call-centre manager on this. Waterloo explains this quite accurately, they are suggesting the reason for my being charged the full amount as the fact that I had 'Pay after delivery' activated in my account.
However, I have made a case that both at eBay and Paypal checkouts I have been shown the discounted figure and thus they are breaking the law by charging me a different amount, especially since neither their voucher T&C nor the final Paypal page (where arguably the deferred payment would have been selected) mention anything regarding it.
As per their own website, under the eCommerce Directive business sellers must provide the following information, sellers must provide the following information in their listings.
full contact details for their business;
details of any relevant trade organisations to which they belong;
details of any authorisation scheme relevant to their online business; clear indications of price, if relevant, including any delivery or tax charges and

Well, they've said they will find a resolution to the problem by 6th April, apparently there are lots of people affected by the same issue (credit not applied) and they are investigating what went wrong. I would advise to contact your seller and ask them to hold off from sending the item if you do not want to pay the full amount or go through hassle of sending back.

Another thing that will definitely help are the T&Cs of the "Pay After Delivery" option. As their argument is that since you "Pay After Delivery", your payment doesn't fall into the 31st of March, 4pm-10pm time-slot and thus you do not qualify for the offer (which is b*****t anyway as they should have notified us either in the T&Cs of the Voucher or later at the Paypal Checkout). However, here is the interesting part:
Transaction Details (Paypal)
Your bank payment is scheduled for 14 Apr 2016. (Unique Transaction ID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) PayPal has already paid the seller. We'll debit the payment from your bank 14 days after you purchased the item, on 31 Mar 2016. The payment will show on your bank statement as a PayPal purchase.
How it works.
When you select Pay After Delivery at checkout, we’ll pay the seller instantly – but you won’t pay anything for 14 days, giving you time to receive your item before you pay for it. We’ll send you a reminder email before we debit the money to help you keep track of your payments.

I ordered three different items in one order had the correct discount showing but only one item went through and no record of other items I ordered! They just vanished from my order and are just sitting in my shopping basket now.
Discount was correctly applied on the item that went through but having items vanish from confirmed order is very poor from Ebay.

If you click the "Order detail" button of the item that went through, you will see that you paid for all 3. Same has happened to me but 2 of my items went thought out of 3. 3rd item shows not paid, not trace in Paypal and email invoices. But when I click "Order detail" or the other two items, it shows the proper amount of all 3.

Just to keep you guys in the loop I have just received a call back from the eBay Call Centre Manager and he has confirmed that after investigation, they have concluded that no matter whether the 'Pay after delivery' option has been selected or not, one would still be eligible to receive the discount.
They have asked me to send a screen-shot to them which shows their website with errors on voucher entry to investigate but confirmed they will not use this as evidence of me not using the code properly and have escalated to Level 2 support for resolution. Will let you guys know of the service number once it's all sorted!

I've just had a call back after raising a case with eBay yesterday about my issue with discount code accepting but then full price being paid. Chap called Nick from their customer services has been amazing, called me back twice to tell me what's going on and has just confirmed they will credit the money into my PayPal. Shame there were problems but excellent service from them. Never had to contact before and very impressed.

Not read through any of the comments above so apology if its been covered.
My partner bought 6 items and only 5 went through has had call number 2 back form ebay.
Basically they are saying its not there fault and that its paypals fault fornot making the payments on them items.
We now have to contact paypal and im expecting them to pass the ball back to ebay.

By the way, The online chat thingy clocked up more that 6 million problems in just over 30 min's round about 4pm is this a normal day or is it April Fools ! or is ebay/paypal trying to make fools as many as possible.

"I had multiple errors trying to check out a basket of 8 items. Code not applied so tried multiple times and got to the order screen that showed the discount so tried pay now and got more errors - can't pay with Paypal, experiencing technical issues, critical error, payment pending. Eventually went through Paypal at the undiscounted value. Didn't get a confirmation email from eBay until after 10pm although the order completed before and it was for the undiscounted value. Been on the phone to eBay CS and they're passing all these to the marketing people who are considering a mass refund of the discount value. I'm not optimistic - I have nothing that shows the discounted value, I was too shocked when the code worked to take a screen grab and too busy trying to get the payment through. I'll probably not cancel, it was all stuff I needed and would have bought anyway but I pointed out to eBay CS that it's hardly fair to the sellers to drag this out - my stuff is from 6 different sellers and if I cancel or refuse delivery, that's a lot of aggro that eBay has brought on them."
My issue ^^^^. eBay just called me back. The code wasn't applied to my purchases (no sh1t Sherlock!) so they're not going to refund the discount. However, they're cancelling the equivalent amount of seller's fees from the balance on my seller's account so I'm happy with that.

I ordered through my iPhone using the eBay app and PayPal app, Bought 2 items for £280 which ended being £230, all went through no problems and is showing as completed in PayPal and paid in eBay. The funds still haven't left my bank but that normally takes a few days anyway.
I feel for the peeps who are having a nightmare with this though, hope eBay does the right thing and sorts it all out.

I had the same problem. 10 item order with 10 items showing in order details. 9 out of 10 went through and showed in PayPal. Contacted eBay on live chat and the person (who did not give the impression they knew what they were talking about) said that the order had not gone through, that I wouldn't be charged and not to worry the item will drop off my order page soon. But if I was happy to reorder I could - sans 20% discount which they said there was nothing they could do about.
I called PayPal who said the transaction had been declined by my bank. I found this surprising considering every other payment went through and I had a backup payment method on the account. But at least I knew what the problem was and knew no payment would go through. In the end I reordered with someone else's PayPal account. Good luck!

It shouldn't have anything to do with whether you have the 'Pay After Delivery' option activated on your account. This is my preferred method of payment on PayPal, but when I checked out with the voucher last night it wouldn't let me select it as an option.
cb-uk
1 Apr 16#2522
Just a hunch here, but I bet 95% of the people who didn't get their discount applied (or only got it applied to one item when purchasing multiple items) were using a mobile or tablet to visit eBay - in which case, it's probably a software glitch on eBay's part.
So, if you failed to get your discount correctly applied, were you using a mobile or tablet?

I noticed that I didn't get offered Pay after delivery during my check out last night. even though I always get offered that for every ebay UK purchase. I think when the code was entered it was supposed to switch that payment method off, perhaps as a t&c of the code - but sounds like they messed it up with certain accounts.

Not true. I have pay after delivery activated and I got the discount applied properly. My 3rd item did not go thought but the 2 that did go through received proper discount.

1 Apr 162#2541
As stated by others it looks like many of the issues were caused by using mobile apps or the mobile version of the website
One thing I have learned as a buyer & seller on eBay....the apps are all too often buggy & useless....just check out the community forums....99% of listing problems tend to be app related....maybe that's down to eBay....or maybe because people insist on using their fashion accessory phone/tablet rather than a traditional PC/Laptop with a real browser
Sogaaddict to corred1964

Ebay community forum is full of people, especially IOS users, complaining about the app. On my Windows phone all seems ok and I buy on the fly small items but for this 20% offer I made sure I used my PC and Firefox, freshly cleared of history etc.

Placed 2 orders via 2 different accounts. First was placed for 4 x items from same seller at 8.30 last night. Code accepted and paypal shows the discount was applied, with the net amount being funded from bank after £48 discount.
Second order (Laptop from Argos) was made around 9.30pm and again, code accepted and discount given, with Paypal showing the net amount funded from the bank after £39.99 discount.
For both, the usual confirmation emails were received from both Ebay and Paypal and no other emails since apart from those confirming dispatch of both items.
However, strangely enough, both Paypal accounts show payment was made around 1am this morning (1 April), although they were of course made at 8.30pm and 9.30pm respectively last night. Weird.
Anyway, they do both appear to have gone through ok with only the net amount being taken from the bank (although we haven't actually checked our bank accounts - we're just assuming all's ok). Unless of course other people have had the same as us i.e., everything pointing to the discount being applied (emails, Paypal account) and the NET amount being taken from their bank/credit card, but their bank/credit card accounts actually showing the full amount taken?

Code entered for me, then wasn't applied.
Made a complaint to eBay on Friday morning when I saw this had happened, and just now got an email saying "sorry this happened, here's another 20% off code to use before 10th April".
Whilst this is an ok gesture, it's left me paying full price on items that I purchased only because I could apply a discount. So this new code is a tad useless and more money to eBay. Not thrilled tbh.

I phoned Ebay up and was polite to them and explained what happened to me. I just got this:
YOUR DISCOUNT AWAITS
Hello [redacted],
Our coupon offer on Thursday 31st March was very popular and due to the high demand we were unable to fulfil the discount at that time.
We're sorry for any disappointment this may have caused.
We'll be refunding you the amount of [redacted] directly to the PayPal account that's linked to your eBay account within 14 days. This is the discount amount that should have been applied. The coupon was valid for one transaction, if you tried to use the coupon more than once we will apply the discount to the highest value transaction you made on the day.
Kind regards,
The eBay Team

Well; in my case, eBay have requested the relevant item numbers and PayPal details after confirming that the voucher was not applied. They sent an email addressing three different people (unless I've somehow gained two extra names?)
Naturally; I've provided the information, along with one of the screenshots taken.
PayPal don't seem to be much use; the messaging centre still states "cannot be displayed at this time..."

No I haven't had a code sent to me. I too had a vanishing transaction. 2 items went through, the 3rd shows on the order details but totally disappeared from my purchase history and I didn't pay for it either (though it did show as payment pending to begin with). I had an online chat with ebay, they said they'd had lots of others had the same and that I would hear from ebay by April 6th. Don't want to try and enter this code that others have got as if it doesn't work will I still have ordered the item anyway, and then have to pay full price?

Same as above, I didn't bother contacting eBay to complain when the voucher wasn't applied, but got an email last night saying they would refund it into my paypal shortly.

The difference in customer service is quite appalling. I only tried the discount on one item, early on in the offer; the wrong amount was taken and I contacted ebay straight away, as the item was for quite a lot of money and I also wanted to collect the item the next day I contacted them the following morning and they promised to contact me the same day with feedback. To date I have received no contact from ebay at all, other then an email acknowledgement of my first call to them.

4 Apr 16#2594
I called the next morning citing exactly the same circumstances as you have experienced.
Voucher showing as applied, payment was taken for full amount and no sign of the voucher having gone through despite it showing as successful prior to payment.
Called ebay and was told to expect contact by 6th April, if no contact by then, to call them back.
Why should I have to wait and see? I want to be confident that I will receive a resolution as should everyone else who has called to complain.
Not feeling full of optimism about the "resolution" that may or may not arrive but fingers crossed.
Waiting is the worst part!

3 Apr 16#2587
I contact them on Friday to complain and their reply was that they will investigate my case, I dont have to worry and I should "think positive" :confused: (very professional reply!)
Today Ive got a message saying that the voucher didn't applied and they can do nothing about it!
Of course, when I checked out the discount was clearly visible, etc.
Anyway,I had contact the seller from the beginning, explaining the situation,and asking to wait for my reply before dispatch. He was very helpful and understanding, and as he said he also dont really like dealing with them. Now I have to ask him to cancel it.
I use ebay more than 7years and I ve got 100% feedback. Im fuming but at least it will help me keep clear of them for a while. No surprise why everybody hates them.
Googlyhead
3 Apr 16#2588
My experience with the first code demonstrates a problem with this though;
I entered the code; it was accepted. PayPal stated it was applied.
eBay cart summary showed voucher and value. Total price took discount off.
And after all that; they still took the full amount from my account through PayPal.
Yes; supposedly will be rectified in a couple of days, but still...

3 Apr 16#2589
You're describing what happened when the eBay and Paypal systems went into meltdown because of a very attractive 6 hour flash voucher promotion. That doesn't happen under normal circumstances with voucher codes on eBay which is the question I responded to.
Googlyhead
4 Apr 16#2590
I get that, but it also means that the system doesn't work in such a way that it can guarantee the summary/price/voucher as displayed is actually what goes through.
If it had happened that the voucher could not always be applied, or otherwise displayed an error, then it would actually be more reassuring.

Yes, they've taken the full amount from me despite the order details within eBay itself saying that the 20% had been removed. The item itself has now arrived and I don't want to use it until I know that eBay will honour the voucher. Very frustrating. I've contacted them once via chat and now 2 phone calls and awaiting another call back as it has been escalated further. Annoying also that this is a common problem that no one at eBay I've spoken to has seemingly been aware of. As someone said before, it's the waiting that's the most frustrating. It's their error, they should remedy it asap! I wouldn't have bought the thing without this discount code.

Yeah, can't see it happening now. Some people have had refunds already, others declined from the looks of it.

6 Apr 16#2609
I raised the issue with both paypal and ebay.
ebay have been helpful when speaking o them directly but in terms of following up their promises not so good.
As for paypal, well... Everyone with half a brain knows @gmail and @googlemail are the same domain names. Apparently not the case with paypal. I registered my email address years ago when it was googlemail and now it's gmail but both work the same. Apparently that was enough cause for them to reject my request for help due to "data protection issues", load of cobblers.
Will be calling ebay tonight with a less forgiving tone. There's no excuse for bad customer service these days.

Called eBay again tonight after no news.
Instead of the nice Irish folks I woke to the other day ended up connected to an Asian call centre.
Lady was less than helpful, offered me another voucher when I clearly asked for a return of the amount missing from the last voucher.
Then when I revised that she tried to suggest they had no record of me using the voucher and therefore I was lying!
Eventually I think the message got through and hopefully I should be contacted within 14 days, but not impressed with the hoops I'm having to jump through for their mistakes.

just got off the phone with ebay. they asked me what device i used and whether i used the app or the website. then they said they are forwarding my query to the technical department. i responded with so many people have experienced the issue and the technical department still dont know what the prob is. the guy i spoke to seemed to be implying that i didnt use the code which infuriated me and i lost my rag with him a bit. waiting for him to call back now after tech has investigated. what a joke

I had the disappearing items from pending payments issue and had numerous promises of hearing a response from the technical team, but to no avail. Spoke to an operative today and she said my details should have been forwarded to the marketing team (to possibly send me another 20% code) and I'll have to wait another 24-48hrs.......................I guess I'll be phoning them back in 48hrs.

I didn't contact anybody, I was content to wait and see and ultimately return the item if necessary. They got in touch with me without any prompting.

I ordered two things in a single transaction. A GFX card for £219.99 and PSN card for £32.99. I used the code on the whole transaction. The GFX card order failed to go through since eBay was melting from so much traffic. I spent hours trying to sort it, no use.
Contacted support the next day, they assured me they will deal with it and sort me out. Great finally.
Still didn't hear anything as of yesterday, contact them again. "Sorry since you managed to use the code on something you're SoL"
Thanks eBay, for reminding me never to use you again.

I suggest ask them to return the item(s) and they should pay the postage...during the endless chat with their cs, they told me that I have the option to receive the items and return them if I don't get the discount in the end...
I didn't want to get into that hassle that why I ask from the seller,from the very beginning, to wait for dispatch and I said to them that I just gonna cancel the transaction... I got refund in the end but really I wouldn't like to go through all that again...

maybe we should all ask ebay to change the system
right now, people pay the discount money but only could 100% until we open the paypal transcation details
we need a improved system: when something not right (ebay code not applying), we could stop the check out
right now, lots of us get caught up as we never sure how much we pay.
I would send this to ebay and I hope more people would let ebay know how poor their system are .
we all want discount (as every penny counts) and I think ebay would still do promotion again in the future. so help ourselves and push ebay to improve their system.

Why? The code worked perfectly for the vast majority of users, as you'll see from the comments in the first 90% of so of this thread.
However, as with everything, a tiny number of people couldn't get the code to work because they either didn't follow the instructions correctly (their own fault) or used a app/mobile device (eBay's fault). The good news is that eBay are doing the decent thing and refunding everyone if the fault is due to eBay. This seems a pretty reasonable and fair approach.
TomBoyNI
7 Apr 16#2627
No they are not I tried and the payment failed. Traffic on their side apparently.
This is the reply I just got.
XXXXXX, I'm afraid to say that, as you haven't successfully purchased any item on 31st March 2016, we won't be able to issue you any voucher.
dealchaser888 to TomBoyNI
7 Apr 16#2629
(in my humble opinion) maybe you could ask ebay again to look into your case (best: if you have any proof of the purchase. I save the pages and print screen. if no, just tell them the whole story)
when I approached ebay live chats, one of the officer didn't want to listen or deal with my case and he kept saying I should write letter (only letter accepted, he insisted) to their complain department instead.
or try another live chat as you may find different response again. Maybe ask the live chat refer you to the 'special team' for complicated case.
it worth's a try as in the best case: they might give you some courtesy code to use for future.
ps some people did get a replacement code last sunday
dealchaser888
7 Apr 16#2628
sorry as I don't agree with you
I don't know how you get this assumption, to me I conclude a lot of ebay users get affected.
I myself did follow all the steps and ebay failed it's duty and I use PC not mobile.
And for all I read, people do all right by the book.
so I have to challenge how you sum up it's ebay user's fault not ebay itself:|
if ebay did improve it's failing system, it benefit to all of us, I don't understanding why you hate such improvement. Don't forget if you would still using ebay, you could also have great chance to be one fo the victim too! What's wrong with you?

I, like many people used the code correctly and used a laptop. However I am still waiting for a new discount code. How are Ebay doing the decent thing? After numerous chats, passed deadlines and being passed to different departments, I am still waiting for a resolution. They admit it's a database glitch on their behalf, yet are still stalling or even declining to resolve those affected.
DeeKay86
8 Apr 16#2632
Been told by eBay that they can not refund the 20% over payment as the "seller has already been sent the funds".
I argued that the 20% was never coming from the sellers cut anyways and that eBay was covering the 20%!
Again I'm told "sorry we can not refund the 20% over payment. Please use this code for 20% off your next purchase". Again I told them I don't want to buy anything else, I just want the 20% honoured on my original purchase as I only authorised the discounted amount and they still took 100% from my bank account!
They are not willing to budge, even though they agree it's their fault!!
Never have I experienced a company so stubborn and unfair! It's really is pathetic.

I haven't had any issues with this deal so I haven't looked into this myself, but...
Has anyone tried emailing the CEO of Ebay UK instead of going through the Customer Service channels if they really are so poor? I had luck using this tactic when resolving an issue with Vodafone before.
You should give a *concise* summary of what happened, say what you were overcharged and how much by, say you're very unhappy with the customer service response you've received so far, maybe use the bit Tallyho mentioned below?
Good luck guys

not heard back from them after a couple of emails saying they are investigating and to be patient. probably hoping i would just forget about it. surely this is a case of misrepresentation? i.e. i entered into a contract with them believing i would get 20% off etc etc?
just on live chat now and they're feeding me the same BS about there's nothing they can do and i won't be getting a refund and to look out for future promotions.... not getting away with this one that easy ebay.
dealchaser888 to didsburydan
8 Apr 16#2656
yes, same to me.
I was promised 3 times that ebay would contact me in order to solve the problem, none happened at all.
today I contacted again and was told another story.
ebay have no initial to contact me at all.
According to them, if I did not receive another replacement voucher then that would be end of story. I was told it should be paypal's fault or server or (me?)
anyway in order to make it sound better, I was told wait for another one(?!)
That is all wrong. I would perfer ebay just let me know right away nothing they could do. But they just keep dragging me along for so long, keep give out wrong information. I feel by doing so, ebay treat customer (at least to me) as a fool.

These guys are unbelievable...you hit the pay button on a discounted price, you ve been charged the full price, you have been deceived, and then you have to chase them to get your money back and they still ignore you!
And some people believe that this happened because of the number of the transactions. This is complete nonsense, we are talking about paypal, a platform that manage million transactions every day, theoretically its on the same level of security and bulletproof as the banking platforms/apps.
When you hit the pay button your confirmation is directly tied with the amount shown on the screen, its not possible the voucher to come off and lost somewhere on the way, its such a ridiculous excuse! So many vouchers on hukd everyday, has anybody ever pay the discounted price on the screen and then been charged the full amount??

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
The investigation is still in progress, Were giving you high hopes on this since were able to escalate this issue. Please wait for further update and will keep on monitoring this case for you.

I use ebay more than 7 years.. I notice the decline started about 3 year ago and since then going from bad to worse. To be fair, a lot more "not so honest" people become ebay members. The last 3 year I had to open at least 3-4 times more cases, than the previous 4.
Instead of trying to improve their feedback system and the way they manage the disputes in order the "good" members been protected and found justice, they start treating everybody as dodgy.
Altought I ve got 100% feedback with more than 1500 transactions and I have won every single dispute I had, their behaviour towards me, when I had to deal with them, was imo totally unacceptable. So I decide to use ebay as less as possible.
I assume other members felt the same way and steer clear too.
Now that they become desperate, try to bring members back with costly promotions that they are not really happy to honour.

The other thing I was thinking about if ebay dont refund the "missing" voucher value is via my credit card. It is more than a bait and switch as they actually showed us the total price to be charged and then took more than that. They didnt switch products or offers to a more expensive thing, just helped themselve to an extra 20%.
If it doesnt get resolved by ebay, im thinking of doing a chargeback for the difference as an unauthorised transaction. the transaction I authorised was 20% less.

9 Apr 16#2659
This is probably going to sound irritatingly smug but I had no problems whatsoever, and I don't think I am alone in this. For those of you where something has gone wrong I hope you get it sorted pronto. My biggest beef with eBay is the lack of credit card protection since most deals go via Paypal, a third party, though there is eBay and PayPal protection, twice I have been refunded by eBay by no-show outfits. An auction site still remains a place to get those hard to get articles, just happens that eBay has a monopoly.

I finally received my reply, only 3 days late, and this is what they had to say...
Thank you for writing to eBay about the CUK voucher.
I can certainly understand that you are concerned about the CUK voucher. On checking the details I can see that the payment was not successful for the items due to some PayPal issue that's the reason you have not received the discount for it. As the issue was from PayPal's end so we won't be able to reimburse.
Unfortunately we do not have access as those are system generated vouchers. Hence, I'm afraid to inform you that we won't be able to reissue the voucher. For your reference, you can check the link below for the terms and condition of the voucher:
Though this is the case, good thing is that we regularly send a voucher promotion that randomly sent to eBay member. You may be included in one of the future voucher promotion.
I trust that I've explained everything clearly. If you need any more information please get in touch. If you have any further concerns/questions please reply back to us as we’ll continue to keep this discussion open till it is resolved to your satisfaction.
Thank you for choosing eBay! You are a valued member.
Kind regards,
eBay Customer Support.
ebay are blaming PayPal, but it has nothing to do with PayPal, its a ebay system error during the 'Basket' checkout process, the code was doomed right from the start, it was set up incorrectly which effected thousands of customers.
Problems like this do happen, but its how the company deals with the problem after the event. It all depends on what resolution is offered, how the company deals with those customers who were effected, customer service plays a very important part when dealing with these types of problems.
ebay have failed hugely, its totally unacceptable.

9 Apr 16#2661
could all these affected be due to those people using this code, actually were never emailed the code in the first place hence why it didn't track properly?
it did state in the terms "for selected ebay users only"
could be a reason why most people are having issues maybe

Finally got to contacting Paypal about this so I'll hopefully get a reply soon. I'd probably have gone to ebay first but it doesn't look like they have email or IM support? I just saw an option to phone them up. If there's a way to email them about it anyone knows of then that'd be great as I don't really want to have to get stuck on the phone a while with them if Paypal end up not being too helpful.

Also had an email from eBay blaming PayPal, but more specifically that the error occurred because the transaction funding source got split (ie remaining PayPal balance, and then some from Bank account). This is rollocks though, as I know that there were more than adequate funds in the PayPal balance to cover the whole transaction.
This comes after the Live Chat adviser telling me it was because the "seller has cancelled the transaction"....except it was 4 separate sellers, and none of them had any idea there was any transaction in the first place.

I felt a lot of frustration over my code, worth a grand total of £6.87. In the end it all went through smoothly (barring my basket playing up, and double ordering, also a phantom order for 50% of my basket which the seller never saw, and disappeared a few hours later - luckily the seller happily cancelled the order where the code wasn't applied)
EBay shouldn't be offering a new code, they should be refunding those affected, especially in the case of screenshots / proof etc
The code must have cost them millions, presumably with the intention of getting people to spend more on eBay in the future
Being an **** with loyal customers over a few quid is only going to have the opposite effect

Luckily I called on the day because the code didn't apply. I was told then not to worry as it could be a glitch. I mentioned today that if the code was not applied I should have been told when immediately so I could cancel the transaction and try it again as I called eBay prior to 10pm. If they mention some future promotion tell them you are not interested in that and want immediate resolution for this incident.
Also, the initial person on the live chat was useless. When I requested a manger I got the refund pretty quick

but how could ebay explain why one of the items success and others failed (all in the same order and success with check out)
also I did not receive any ebay normal auto confirmation purchase email at all (include the one success) up to now.
so ebay have nothing to do with all these (?)
ebay are just trying to pass the bucket now
also at that period, there was nowhere I could find the term and condition link as mentioned by ebay now
ebay must come clear and said sorry, not make user as a fool

I think you are mistaking, there are 2 different occasion of the voucher code.

I would definitely call them again. Tell them to check their records and they'll see that when you called the promotion was still valid. If they had told you immediately that the code didn't work you could have simply cancelled the order and tried again. Make sure you stress that their inability to realise the problem is the reason you are in this situation. If you use the live chat, make sure you ask for a manager if you're not getting anywhere. Good luck

This was because of a known technical issue on PayPal

You need not to be disheartened for this. You are our valuable member and I am quite optimistic that you will get another voucher in near future. We frequently come up with such voucher promotions.
Neena14:25 PM
I do understand your feeling however we do not have any such option to issue another voucher, it can be issued only by the system under mass promotion.There is no option to issue voucher manually to any single member.This is how system is designed
"yeah, and if they don't work like this one didn't?"
as they have admitted it was a known paypal issue i have messaged paypal with a complaint to see if they can offer anything

I only jut noticed they have taken the full amount for my order as well :neutral_face:
Scammy so and so's I only ordered on that day because of the code
Wish it was free to send the items back for a refund as I WOULD at least then I would have got my refund at the full price I paid , they really should be doing automatic refunds but it shows the GREED of the big companies , anyway I am letting it go as I can't be arsked for £4.22 , they can stick it and will stick with Amazon more now as they have always sorted out any problem for me and they can do free returns or even collection from home so I would have gone for a refund or sent the items back free of charge if it was from them
I have had more trouble with Ebay and Paypal than I have had with Amazon , their CS are more eager to please and keep you as a customer / keep their reputation but Ebay don't give a sh*t!

I have had my eye on a second PS4 for months, waiting for the right price point to bite. Saw this offer and went for it the voucher was worth £45 so I'm not giving up without some serious arm twisting.
It upsets me that I have to play bad cop to get anywhere with ebay with this but they are being incredibly stubborn and needs must.

Well, after chasing eBay (a lot), and after already cancelling my eBay order (for which the CUK20 discount didn't get deducted, despite being applied), eBay have just credited my PayPal account with the 20% value. Despite hoping for a re-issue of the code (to buy a more expensive item), I'm happy with this.

eBay just credited my PayPal account for even just slightly more than I should was save using code. 2 long conversations with eBay rep but happy end of story

Are people really getting refund or are you lot trolling? I just got this email today:
Hello XXXXX,
Thank you for contacting eBay Customer Support. We understand that you are unable to use your voucher due to an error on the 31st of March.
Their are several reasons as to why the voucher was not working when you tried to apply on your end and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We regeret to inform you that we are unable to replace the voucher on your eBay account or apply the discount on your purchase(s).
You may take advantage of promotional vouchers in the future. Again we thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.
Many Thanks,

20% discount voucher #3 here too. Just looked up this thread after getting it.
Who's crazier? eBay for giving an endless stream of codes that they know will have issues, or us for actually using it and expecting to have to contact eBay yet again for the money (and another code)...
russellanam
16 Apr 16#2714
How did you get it? Did they send you an email? Ebay has not replied to me and my case is still open (I think) but they have refunded me the discount amount today without any message or email.

I got refund. No message or anything in Ebay. It says:
Dear My_name,
Just thought you'd like to know eBay International AG sent you £xx.xx GBP.
Note from sender, eBay International AG:
Thanks for participating in the CUK20 Promotion
Reversal
Please be aware that your payment can still be reversed, (e.g. if it is subject to a chargeback), even after you have sent the item to your buyer. Complying with PayPal's Seller Protection and following the trading guidelines given on our Security page helps to protect you from things like chargebacks.
Googlyhead
16 Apr 16#2716
I've no idea.
I had to chase them up to confirm the refund after a lack of reply to my first query.
The first replacement voucher would appear to have been automatically issued regardless of my email.
My entire basket didn't go through on that replacement voucher so I emailed and was given the "nothing we can do" response. As the no -voucher stuff didn't go through at all; I'm not too concerned.
This one simply appeared in my account, so I'm assuming enough people had issues again to do another batch.

16 Apr 16#2717
Same problem here. Called up last time and said I would get a voucher around the 6th. Called up and chased again they said that they will not be issuing the voucher and that the voucher was correctly applied to one item and that they were happy with that. They have escalated with their marketing team but said it is unlikely anything will come out of it. Wonder If I can report this . You cannot charge an amount higher to someone's card/ account than the amount that appears on checkout I believed...

19 Apr 16#2721
I used twitter to contact them. Took some chasing, but eventually got a refund of the discount amount (even though I'd cancelled the order and received a refund, due to not hearing back from eBay within the first few days), and a new 20% code to be used before 24/04/16. Didn't send any emails to them.

i have a code to be used before 24/4
i havent read this whole thread but know there have been problems.
i didnt try and use the original code.
can anyone give me a quick summary? if i use the code to purchase an item and enter it at check out via paypal will i still somehow be charged the full amount?
i have my eye on an item that with the discount would happily pay but not happy to pay full price.if the chances are high ebay will f*ck me over don't think i'll bother. .... just really want that item and my inner voice says "try the code" i cba endless convos with ebay to be reimbursed.
is it worth it? does the code actually work? do i have to put it in twice once on the ebay page & once on the paypal page?
Hpi_matrix
21 Apr 161#2725
I think you've got a 50/50 chance. Email the seller and explain the situation, ask them if they're happy to cancel the purchase if the discount doesn't go through for you.

O my, I should have known eBay would screw me. I had almost accepted they screw you as a seller.
But it seems even as a buyer you are fair game!
Bought item with this voucher then item arrived not as described so seller offered me partial refund. I spoke to eBay customer service and asked if I could accept this and agent told me he needed to open a case.
I was not sure as not very eBay savy but he did and the next email from seller was here is your label return for refund.
Obviously now I can't buy the item with the 50 UKP off and eBay say well we MIGHT give you credit and sorry for the agent not explaining by opening the case the buyer will ask for return and refund. Even thou I told agent I didn't want a refund just partial refund or replacement.
I should have learned from trying to sell something which the buyer returned broken after using it for 4 hours but eBay decided it was my fault.
I swear that's it really really never again to use ebay;-)

25 Apr 16#2729
Well, I tried to use my new 20% discount code yesterday, and I received a message telling me that the code wasn't valid, and to check that I'd keyed it correctly (I'd copied and pasted from their email). What a joke.

27 Apr 16#2730
I called ebay back for the third time after being told on the 31st March to wait for 6th April for an answer.
6th april arrived and they said to wait two weeks for an answer
Just called again yesterday after no response again and the lady I spoke to was much more helpful but told me that no claim had been raised on my behalf...
Apparently there are still 300 or so people in progress for refunds so now I have to wait again while they sort their lives out.
Not a happy bunny and all faith in ebay is gone. Still half expect them to refuse my refund but I wont be going down without a fight :smiley:
GibsonSt19
27 Apr 161#2731
Terrible Customer Service all round really. I'm currently in the middle of a web chat with them. Ii was lucky enough to get another code to use, but it would appear that the code was actually set to expire an hour before their email stated it would expire! I'll post the chat transcript once I'm done, if anyone's interested.
Hope you get sorted!

Hopefully someone else will buy it first.
I rarely receive any form of discount from eBay so this would have been handy.
Thank you for staying with me, Carl. I have collaborated with our Promotions Team and was able to confirm that we do not have an ongoing purchase deal at the moment.
Let me share you that we only post promotions on the eBay site or by sending invitations to member's eBay Messages.
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/20-off-20-00-spend-ebay-finished-xd-2301050
1.its for targeted ebay users
so for those who think its open to all, just be cautious before you all decide to spend £20 + and find out the code wont work for you.
...and?
Doesn't help they keep changing things.
1. There's many more people selling on ebay these days
2. Postage is relatively much more expensive, especially for the smaller items, therefore making your prices less competitive
3. Amazon can often sell goods cheaper than ebay
4. Chinese ebayers and websites are dumping loads of very cheap electronic gadgets on us with many at free postage
5. I would imagine high street retailers are making their prices more competitive to attract customer
now the question is I paid for the phone and code was accepted but took 202 from bank and looks like code didn't work
...god dammit.
It must go in misc
Mod you keep doing this - follow the rules like the rest of us.
Probably no consolation, right?
Quite relieved to hear the maximum discount is only £50, that has put my stupid, impulsive plan to bed.
for example - If they put the ps4 upto £250, you pay £199 after discount saving £25 they get £25 extra.

What should I get?!
AAHHH
If I buy sommat for £100 the seller gets £100 - 80 from me and £20 from ebay? That's a lot of money ebay will be forking out if open to all.
Id guess you need to: "Follow our page to get the code. " which was stated in the post you quoted!

Can anybody confirm whether this will work with sellers outside the UK?
I'm buying from Poland and I'm pretty sure the seller would refund me if I asked.
people on twitter - that's a target
people with paypal - also a target
people in the uk - another target
so can be site-wide, applicable to practically all of us but still targeted.

Got a Samsung 850 Evo 1TB SSD for £190ish from Box UK (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361427493343). I know there are cheaper on there, but figured I'd better go for a well known retailer.

They were summery things, and its nearly summer now, and the code turned them into bargains,
so really everything had aligned to make it time to strike......
I still resisted a few of the things on my watch list though..... didn't want to get too carried away :smile:
Figure if I don't like it it'll sell for roughly the same when the 7 is out.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!
brings it down to £167 - that's iPad mini 2 money. Any body seen any better deals?
I wouldn't mind but he spends more money than me :laughing:
I could sell a pair of socks to myself for £250 and pay £200 to myself. Paypal fees etc should leave me a few quid in
Another way to make money is to list any vouchers you have lying around over face value (eg Tesco ones at 3x face value etc), last time this offer was on all the vouchers sold out very quickly.
I've contacted all the sellers to see if they'd cancel if I buy again with the discount... wish me luck
Did it definitely accept the code at checkout?
Cheers.

If you play FPS games (CS:GO, CoD, Battlefield, etc) then go for a 144hz monitor for smoothness.
Otherwise get yourself a 2560x1440 IPS panel. There was one here for £120 earlier today.
I don't think springing for the "budget" 4k options (TN panels) is going to be worth it.
IMPORTANT: you take a risk when there are different items from different sellers in the basket, if one of the seller decide to refund you, you lose all the discount and unfortunately is only 1 code per account
Made my order. Put discount code in, and it applied. Paid. Job done.
Then got email from paypal saying I had paid the full amount not inc the discount. Is this a generic email not taking into account the discount? Anyone else find their 'total' according to paypal was before the discount? :/
Ebay emailed... they show the discount. Considering ebay and paypal are the same... random.
If you log into your PayPal account and look at the transaction in question it will show the full amount but when you click on it, it will show a price breakdown showing that some of the amount was paid by the discount...... if that makes sense..... and the amount at the bottom of that breakdown list will be what you have been charged .
Hope this helps :smiley:

Ebay email def shows it. Was just curious why Paypal did not.
Short answer 'YES' it does work for items from Japan. :wink:
She will be thrilled! :smirk:
As I put in the comment above, if I click on my seperate transactions it doesnt show a discount. Oh well, I'm sure it would have applied (he says)

Oh well win some lose some.
what do I need..
nothing... damn..
PS4 controller? Aha, great idea, top man. I was sort of waiting for a £30 one.
They could teach Argos and Boots a few things :smirk:
Oak barrel 10 l - £60
never had a problem with the 400 odd things bought before is this certain sellers only?
That aside, pre-built eBay gaming PCs tend to have horrible PSUs (really I can't over emphasise that point), low end motherboards and cheap, nasty cases. You'll likely be better off building it yourself and knowing that all the components are decent quality and haven't been corner cut to save a few quid in the short term.
Removing the enclosure is very easy and you can put the PS4 HDD in its place and use it as a 'free' 500GB External HDD.
The short answer to the person who asked the question is yes; the HDD from the link is compatible with PS4.
Dont know if ebay is planning to reject the order or due to overwhelming response papal is struggling?
Ordered 3 items, 2 from one seller and one from another in a single basket.
Added the code, logged in to PayPal, clicked the magic button. It took an age to do anything and showed an error 'This item was marked as paid' after waiting.Not really an error but was in red like an error.
All items vanished from my basket.
Now, 2 items from one seller being marked as paid and showing in my PayPal transaction history and one item showing unpaid and not in PayPal history.
I have no link to pay for the item either.
GOING TO SPEND £250!!!!!
eBay has had declining sales over the past few years, and this isn't the first time a 20% discount event has happened.
For this event, eBay is basically shelling out the 20% to the seller. The seller will always get the full amount of the original price.
For the majority of items, say < £250, they are probably losing some money, as they charge 10% on the final fee + postage, and add another 3-4% iirc when using PayPal. So really, the loss isn't that big.
The real targets are the big whales. Large amounts of money which when fees are taken, they make money, especially since the discount is capped at £50.
The idea is to catalyse spending during these few hours, and they must have some metrics for it which prove that the big whale profits will eclipse the lower value items.
So, the same goes without saying, don't buy what you don't need!
must be ebays end of the tax year... trying to cook the books lol.
cheers
thanks
Argos made me laugh though - read the guy out a number from my phone and he handed me a £500 device, no other security checks, signatures etc!
Just bought some expensive import games ive been looking at for months, a PS3 pad, 360 play and charge kit and some elbow patches for a denim shirt for my dad.

So, will I have an opportunity to enter the code after clicking log in?
You saved £5.80 on this purchase
check your PP account it should show you whats what.
strange , but I kind of need the third item more than the other two !!!!!! hopefully just a payment delay due to paypals systems currently been over burdened !
Said they have many reports of the same thing and you have to contact PayPal.
I am fully expecting they will tell me I need to speak to eBay and the eBayPayPal tennis will begin.
Heat added, with this and my Poweredge T20 purchase I have built a decent VM server with 3TB RAID and 20GB memory for £400. Happy days.
HUKD has been costing me a fortune recently.
i have only saved £25 with my first purchase....
The CUK20 wasn't working for a few minutes, nor was Paypal, but the problems seem to have been fixed and I managed to buy one.
Merry shopping to all today :laughing:
2nd time: code not working, try again
3rd time: worked :smile:
Exactly the same code typed the same way (copy/pasted). So it looks like their voucher system is a little overloaded!

Got some bits and also tried it with my AIO ebay smartphones hukd thread and *some* were reduced
by the extra 20% from the already 40-55% reduction ;-) Not all are showing until actually paying but
now makes the ones that ebay forgot to increase last night ready for this 20% offer, a right deal!

PAYPAL/EBAY rip off their customers yet again.
Of course I could write and complain but I will be ignored.
I picked up a Samsung 950 512GB SSD for 167 using the code (down from 245 lowest price on high street/amazon). That's 32% off on a best-in-class top of the line part! It only came out a few months ago too!
Why can't they sort the problem out!! Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure you have a positive balance in your paypal account, say £10 or whatever, then checkout and pay
the difference via your other payment methods ;-)
Not sure, it sounds foreign to me, maybe German?
Contacted eBay who initially told me to contact the seller. After 20 minutes of arguing, she decided to create a report for the error. Time will tell if I get the rebate or I have to cancel the item :disappointed:
cheers
"We are having technical hiccup and Paypal isn't available right now.You can pay with a credit or debit card instead."

Any better deal on ebay for this?
Looking for an i5/i7 and gtx 970 graphics card (for the division) or recommend me a gaming PC build/parts for around £500-£600ish someone? :smile:
6items in total, 1 of which she really really wanted. 5 items went through checkout, and Sod's law the one she really wanted didn't actually checkout! It's still available to purchase, but the voucher won't work for a second purchase. The £16 saving would have been really nice. Booooo.
After eBay and PayPal fees :laughing:
Good luck with that
If you go to ebay click View PayPal Transaction its all itemised.
If you are with Lloyds Bank and click 'pending transaction' the 20% IS applied.
Its just a PayPal 'glitch' all is Okay.
Hope this helps
I did not intend to spend this much money :innocent:
I will probably remember at 2201 what I was going to buy...
Thanks OP!!!
He is telling everyone to read the first post when actually it's wrong
You have to apply the code twice, once when you click buy in ebay and then when you select paypal and enter all your details, the item will be full price again AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN AND ENTER THE CODE AGAIN!
The OP does not mention this and british dragon is replying like he knows everything and costing people money
Pum pum.....anybody reading this DO NOT LISTEN TO BRITISH DRAGON, HE WILL COST YOU MONEY!
Only problem is sometimes it doesn't seem to checkout all of the items in your basket.
I'll pm you in a bit when I've heard back from Tom, he just sent me a quick message and should give me the details tonight :smiley:
Just confirmed worked again on *forgotten* discounted phone prices from yesterday ;-)

I can't even select paypal to log in to paypal. Grrrr.
I've been so close to buying a particular model of Bass Guitar at many points over the past month or so. Always a great feeling when your patience is rewarded.
I've effectively been paid £50 for spoiling myself. Good stuff!
If they too the full amount, it simply means that eBay/PayPal have taken more than they said they would / invoiced me for.
Was looking for a code to buy a travel kettle on Debenhams but then found one on Ebay after I saw the offer @ just over 7 quid with the code so saved myself at least a fiver on that , plus bought a new toilet seat as I needed one and a nice sewing kit for myself , all bargains with the code! :smile:
Someone entered it once and it did not work
I had to enter the code twice, once in ebay and once in paypal......hope others dont get caught out by this

"Return to merchant and try a different payment method" when I try to confirm the final purchase by logging into PayPal.

Thanks OP!
Just walked out of Curries with the same one retailing at £330 so I kinda saved £110 or at least that's what I'm saying to myself. Awesome
From memory sellers have 48 hours to decide whether or not to accept the offer, so if they accept after the expiry you'd be in a bit of a pickle.
Got an M8S 2gb box for £26.50
Getting through to someone who can actually help you and isn't limited to repeating whatever the screen tells them to say is...a challenge!
But when it works, I'll admit, it's great.

It's a megathread, which makes this deal even more impressive
does it apply to biddings
ANYBODY ELSE EXHAUSTED? I hurt all over, my mouse and keyboard are glowing red with the heat. WELL DONE HUKD you caused PAYPAL to slow down all on our own. Wait till the 25% off discount starting in the morning! :smile:
I've spent two and a half hours trying to check out with my wife's Ebay/Paypal account. Every time it said there was a problem - I must have tried 50 or 60 times. I'd already used my account to buy £240 of stuff, which I got £48 discount on! Thanks OP! But each time I tried to log into her Paypal account it just locked up.
So as I'd used my account, I was trying to use my wife's account to buy my son a laptop for uni - £199.99 (so looking to save £40). After two and a half hours I finally got into my wife's Paypal account only to find it's limited/restricted since we last used it almost 3 years ago. They wanted all sorts of ID back then (even though she'd been a member and had used Paypal for a few years) which we couldn't provide so hadn't used it since - but forgot about the restrictions. We now have the ID but no time to get it to Paypal to unlock the account before 10pm.
So I trudged over to my son to explain the bad news (he's been playing games on his PC all night) and asking him if he was happy to pay £200 (full price) for the laptop? He said, rather dejectedly, "Yes I guess so". I said I was sorry and that I'd tried. He then asked why I'd left it so late to try, so I explained I'd spent two and a half hours trying!!
He then said, unbelievably, "Well shall I use my Ebay account then?". W-H-A-T ??? I said how could he buy it? He said, "I'll use my account" - I said "You don't have an account" to which he replied "I do". WTF??
It turns out he's had an Ebay AND Paypal account for the last 9 months since he turned 18 AND NEVER THOUGHT TO MENTION IT TO ME ALL EVENING WHEN I WAS MOANING ABOUT F*$KING PAYPAL!!!
Typical teenager!!
So he logs into Ebay, adds the laptop to his basket and checks out successfully with the £40 discount in less than 1 minute!!
Well I'll never get those two and a half hours of my life back again! And you know what he said to that? "Well you will if you stop smoking and do some exercise". Lol - I may be old, but I still have a long memory............................
I think.
The discount is capped at £50.
Quick what do I buy ?

gg
couldnt get the code in after all that
Many thanks :smile:
I hate ebay!
I can see that if I was a seller I would be annoyed in just receiving 80% so am assuming it is Paypal who will make up the other 20% by refunding purchasers.
Keep trying
£167 yeah?
safe
Worth complaining?
I hope :confused:
Scratch that, just went through at 22:04, got 2x 2TB hard drives for my PS4 and Xbox One, £30 saved, HAPPY DAYS!
Then it submitted the order without the code so I have to cancel everything :disappointed:
only prob the code only works for paypal USELESS
Edit: order history says "Your payment is pending." so may not have worked
Edit2: Order/payment confirmation received.
Bit annoyed, took a screenshot of my basket so I can maybe contact customer services later.
"Please do understand that as the payment has not gone through for the NAS so the discount can't be applied to it."
Thanks
The fees to the sellers are about 10%, they have to pay the seller the full amount before discount. So they are running at a 10% loss for everything sold tonight, probably hundreds of thousands of pounds for this promotion.
I got a new chopping board and a shoe rack for the hall
ITS THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF OK!! :disappointed:
PS. for those asking, my paypal receipt DOES show the discount :/
"We are having a technical hiccup and PayPal isn't available right now. You can pay with a credit or debit card instead."
Does seem as though they've flicked a switch at paypal though. My processing payment screen essentially said. Hopefully we've taken payment.
anyone faced the same problem?
For those reporting being changed the full amount in PayPal, check the transaction detail - you should see a "voucher" element of the payment.
click the paypal amount, will show you the full amount minus discount
Phew!
Had to go back to basket and retry paying for all with Paypal
So many people bough Just cause 3 and I had to keep adding a new one!
Also got 1% cashback ~
Been meaning to buy a new compact camera for ages so finally went ahead. Still kinda semi-impulse, lol, had an hour to research and decide :smile:
Switch payment method?
If you switch your payment method, we can no longer apply vouchers or donations to your order.
...For the last 10 minutes. Hopeless.
EDIT: Changed browser. Discount applied. Still working.
discount shown on PayPal email
Result
ITS WORKING PEOPLE!!! :smiley:

Where should I be looking at?
On my Paypal receipt it says
PAID : £***.** with PayPal
Free postage. £**** coupon applied.
Now I have to return the console I ordered from game when it arrives, bit of a pain but I've saved £50.
£450 after the code.
Utterly ridiculous price!
So tempting...
How is this even legal?! They quoted me a price with 20% off then took the full amount from my bank?! I did not authorise that!
Can anyone help? I am logged in to PayPal and its 100% not showing a code being used when I click on the transaction! Very annoyed!
"We can't apply this voucher code to your order."
I got a confirmation screen 5 minutes before 10pm - "your order was placed" "you saved £25.99 on this purchase" "we received your order and are processing your payment" that I screenshotted.
When I log in and then out and look in My Ebay section it still says "unpaid items (1)".
In limbo here now... not sure whether it went through or not (?)
Haven't received any emails yet
They know what they're doing.
It's like when talktalk offer people to pay line rental upfront - Corporate HQ have done their sums on borrowing a few hundred million £'s from their lenders @ x% vs. borrowing it from their customers at y%
"Funding type:
Redemption Code and PayPal Funds and Instant Bank Transfer "
Went through with transaction and no discount /, oh well
Just strange it doesn't show on main page. Keep an eye on statements.
Its working!!!
Same. If they take full amount from bank and/or the difference isn't refunded then I'll need to deal with them too. Hopefully it'll all work out as it should without using to do anything though.
edit: just checked my emails and both the correct amount and the discount is displayed there so if things don't work as intended automatically then we've at least that to go on since as far as ebay is concerned, the discount should have been applied.

"If your payment is declined for some reason, we'll send you an email to let you know. You should then come back to your item(s) and try your payment again."
and my Paypal account not even showing anything?!
I have never have problem to pay eBay items with Paypal.....
so what's now?
anyone have such experience too?
Applied code but nothing on eBay or PayPal is showing any evidence of a discount. Lame.
Will still be double checking my credit card tomorrow to be sure, but that helps.
I placed an order earlier, but then tried another order at 9.55 and couldn't get it to go through (just got oops error) but now it still won't go through. (Says can't be applied to this order)
Now I need to check to find out what I actually bought... :neutral_face::disappointed:
Like I said, I did not authorise for that amount to be taken from my bank! If this isnt sorted I will report it as a fraudulent transaction and claim it back because thats seriously unfair!
Argh
Nothing on the email, eBay or PayPal. Regardless if I'm on mobile or full versions of the website.
It's ridiculous.
Select a payment option
PAYPAL ( GREYED OUT)
Try using chrome browser with chrome eraser extension installed and run it to clear *all* you crap
from previous visits and cookies and the like..
Switch your DSL/ADSL router off and back on again after above workaround
Log back into ebay and paypal, make sure you have at least £10 in clear funds on
your paypal account balance [send yourself a tenner from your bank or top up card]
and then try your purchase again ;-)
Working fine at time of this post..
We were not able to process your payment.
Hello.
Sorry, we were not able to process your PayPal payment for £139.18 for one or more items.
If you would like to purchase and pay for this item / these item(s) with another payment method, please return to your basket to check out and submit payment again.Remember, great deals don't last long on eBay, so some of your items may have already been purchased by other buyers.Complete payment soon to avoid missing out.
Thanks for shopping on eBay.
BUT the bladdy discount isn't showing now even though I ordered at 9.55pm and the discount showed when I clicked pay. I guess I'll be onto their chat tomorrow.
If you can't check out I would advise that you take a screenshot of your checkout invoice - showing the discount
It's unlikely that you'll be able to contact any helpline 'till tomorrow and your invoice will probably floating around the cyber by then :smirk:
Hope you got in at the stupid-o cheap price prior to them putting the prices up and then you got your 20%! :smile:
£32 off a monitor thanks :smiley:
lol a bit harsh, this reminds me of black friday in tesco.
I'd guess, er, say 327.
what one does to save a few quid.
In GMT it's 9.31pm right now not 10.31pm.
1. Log into http://www.paypal.com
2. Click on one of the transactions from today where you used the code
3. You'll see something like this:
Your purchase £159.00
Voucher-negative £31.80
Purchase total£127.20
Total£127.20
I've edited the OP to add this detail in
"Your payment is pending"
is there anything I can do other than sit tight and wait?

Funding source:
£12.00 GBP - UK Turbo Coupon #CUK20
£60.00 GBP - BANK XXXX
It's basically adding the coupon amount as a funding source, and then adding it to the discounted cost of the item - which is making it look like it's full price. So, for example, 60 + 12 = full item price, however that 12 is not coming from you.
I stupidly left it until the last few minutes assuming it would work (I'm used to Amazon, which always works.)
I've learned a lesson I guess. I've emailed the sellers of most of my items asking to cancel.
lol :smile:

SUCKS TO BE ME RIGHT!!!!!
It's too late for all the other items I wanted though...
revisited item, added to basket, added discount code..... let me pay through paypal, checked paypal and discount was applied 22:57
No discount despite seeing on the eBay subtotal that turbo discount or something to that effect had been applied.
Guess I'm going to be calling eBay tomorrow.....
Ordered 2 different items earlier from 2 different sellers, one went through and the other never processed.
Gone to try and order the other one again using the discount code and it's applied it to the basket saying it will charge me £31 but instead it's charged me £38 according to all emails and my PayPal account
This deal has been good, but eBay has been an absolutely shambles this evening
2TB HDD for £48 bargain
Is it the size of a football field? :wink:
:wink:
Ordered 3 items in a basket. Two went through OK, one was 'Payment Pending'. PayPal showed me a transaction for the two items that went through OK.
Now they've cancelled ALL three items and I still have a payment in PayPal!
The payment for two of my items is still stuck on pending for some reason. So it looks like I've got a 20% discount on less than £20 worth of stuff. Bizarre. Looking at the order details is even weirder. eBay appear to be incapable of basic maths:
I wish that would be true.
Order total
Subtotal £ 129.99
Postage Free
Total voucher amount -£ 25.99
Total £ 78.01
The page where I entered my Paypal details said £104.99
I'm still stuck in "payment pending" limbo and I imagine over night it will come back as payment cancelled and ask me to use a new payment method (by which time the PayPal deal will no longer work)
This is frustrating. Guess I will have to chase this up on the phone tomorrow with customer services. Will be gutted if I have to pay full price
Ordered and failed.
After 10pm deadline:
Ordered and remembered to add something else I wanted. Result.
I hope its gonna be a regular thing
Actually have no idea what to do about the situation either as no idea whether sellers think I've bought the items and just haven't sent payment or what...guess I'm going to have a busy time emailing them all to explain the situation...cheers ebay and paypal for yet another thoroughly miserable experience!
I'll contact both ebay and paypal tomorrow, I really don't have the strength for a wild-goose-chase right now...
I bought a set of 4 tyres which I intended to have fitted tomorrow, the code appears to have not worked (no discount shown on paypal or ebay), I contacted them and they said it would take 7 days to investigate. I'm a bit dubious as to how this will pan out, so im in two minds as to whether I should just cancel the whole thing with the seller. Do they have a track record with this sort of issue?
The fees all came thru as 10% on every item, went to live chat and they sorted it out without a problem, even though id mis-read one of the terms and conditions
At least I sold an item today thanks to the voucher :smiley:
Hope they've resolved it for you by morning
Reading the comments on their forums and facebook page it seems like hundreds of people have had issues, I don't know if this is better or worse.
Mattress, Towel Rail, Cutlery, and an Xbox One game I'll never get around to playing.
Haha :disappointed:
All stuff I needed though and I saved £40 off of a £200 spend.
Yourself?
And cheers OP :smiley:
Kratos Ultimate Figure for 20.80 GBP
Somehow the third item, a tardis miniature for a friends PhD hat was not included ...
you? :P
I bought something for £449 tonight, the ebay screen came up at £349 the payment went pending but moved to confirmed within 10 mins, this was just before 11, so probably just luck or card clearing house thats connected to paypal, was an amex card I use to fund paypal. Shame the paypal email said £399 lol
Been tracking a computer seller originally listed for £350 (It ain't worth £350 and I told him that) a while back. Needed this particular machine as it has a DTX motherboard (Mini ITX with 2 pcie slots...but same size a Mini ITX). Anyway offered the seller £180 cash a while back if I could collect. He turned it down.
i7-3770, 8gb, 2tb, 7770 GPU, DVD. Nothing special but about £230 worth of bits.
Anyway he's been dropping the price over the last couple of months fairly regularly, then purely on fluke I checked the price earlier today and he'd dropped it to £200 with £25 shipping......did deal at the stroke of 10pm....all good and discount applied. £185 inc shipping (saves me driving across London as well).
Thanks OP.....good result for me.
Gutted!
edit: My bad, I can see PayPal have incorrectly stated the withdrawn amount to be the full price but my available funds reflect the discount. Happy days.
I got a Wii U and a phablet :smiley: Should keep me going!
Managed a purchase at 2155 phew and saved £25 :smiley:
Cheers!
Heat!
I hope you have loads of fun with the PS Vita (if it's for yourself), I must've spent several months of gameplay on it while commuting and during late hours in bed. Made buying it years ago very worthwhile. If you like JRPGs, you're in for a treat.
Were you buying from overseas ? If so the extra fee are probably added by eBay for a Global Shipping purchase....these include tracked courier & all customs & import charges
hope everything fine for you
Luckily I managed to grab the only Vita that had a mint condition screen too going by descriptions. "good condition... but the left analogue stick doesn't work", "lots of wear and tear" (looked really beat up), scratches and chips on others. You woudln't think a screen would be so hard to keep scratch free lol.
I also brought a preowned Vita off eBay (was cheap so I didn't kick up a fuss) that said mint condition but it was in bad shape (analog sticks were fine but right trigger area had dog bites or something lol. Both the screen and rear touchpad had surface scratches but it never really mattered when gaming thankfully. I learnt not to assume things are mint on online listings (even here on FSFT :P).
Looking forward to the games anyhow. Should be a few to keep me busy!
I wish I had remembered to enter the code :disappointed:
Emailed PayPal to moan so will see what happens.
Dirty tactic by ebay to scam their own customers and hope that some don't notice that they've been fully charged via paypal, despite the initial ebay invoice showing the discount.
Either way, it's a great way for ebay to fleece us for a short term loan, whilst hoping that some don't notice
My 20% will be about a fiver so not the end of the world if it doesn't get sorted.
Also spurred me on to do another job.
One purchase - £250 value.
Apply code - £50 discount. *Great!*
Purchase/confirm....
A paypal popup "You have sent £250 to Mr Igotyourmoneyhahaha"
...Hmmm doesnt seem right....
Check paypal transaction details. No discount code.
Check ebay transaction details. No discount code.
I've checked the last few pages of comments - can anyone say that this has happened to them? (AFTER checking to make sure the transaction details). I have a few paypal issues before actually paying (checkout fails to load, ebay - "you need to start checkout again", discount applying then disappearing) but the time the payment went through it has the discount right there on the screen!!
BTW this was all before 10pm!
Says its taking payment in 14 days , I'm assuming this could be the problem . Anyway to rectify / cancel ?
edit: pay after delivery wasn't used so as Munkee said that could be the problem although I never get the choice to choose between instant or pay after delivery.
"Sorry, we were not able to process your PayPal payment for £104.00 for one or more items.

My payment was stuck on pending from just before 22:00pm
What can I do now? I don't want to pay full price for the item. I have confirmation screens with the discounted price at the time. What a headache.
What a mess. Got screen shot of summary so will ring in the morning.
Think eBay will have a surge in phone calls in the morning
You wonder if this is a new pilot form of Quantitative Easing by the EU/Governments. With any drug hit like this, there follows a low, Ebay / Paypal may have just moved these purchases forward, leaving a tumbleweed wasteland / drought for ebay shops / suppliers in the next month.
Starting to wonder if this has anything to do with the EU referendum vote to present rosy economic figures around time of vote?
Simple economics.
Discount only worked on 1 of 6 orders for me, most of them failed and did not appear in purchase history.Realised they were still in basket so tried again, purchase went through -after 10pm (showing discount but full amount taken from bank) so suspect eBay will not honour!!
I asked "who's 20% promotion it was"........they said EBAY, so EBAY is the first port of call for complaints
Hope this helps

Ebay don't seem to take complaints seriously and unfortunately will be wasting your time on the phone to them as from numerous experiences in the past.
Their customer service is shocking.
By saying rectify it seems they will honour the discount.
Looks like we all just have to play the waiting game
In both instances the first item on each order has gone through on ebay with a discount given but there is no trace anywhere of the second item on both.
Neither of the orders were for large amounts, £40 the first and £80 the second. Annoying to say the least...
I'm also one of the unlucky ones who got charged full whack but it's cock-up not conspiracy.
Guess the voucher worked?
Has anybody had this happen to them before? Were u successful in getting the 20% refunded?
thanks in advance
Any advice?
Maybe you should try emailing Johnny Doesntgivearatsarse in customer complaints? :wink:
They should have had the balls to admit there was an issue, and tell people not to worry they will sort it out. Instead I got told the code was still live, so I could order more stuff, and that I should contact all sellers and ask to cancel my orders (some had already been dispatched from china), not even an apology. They also questioned whether of not I had even applied to code! Disgraceful
i struck lucky, but payment was a right hassle, and their will always be sore losers who saw it too late and attempted to execute late on, with these deals use it immediately, otherwise they get pulled, oversubscribed, overwhelmed later in the day
The thing is, the code had to be applied TWICE for some people. Once in ebay and then AGAIN in paypal. The original post wasn't clear on this and i think it caught quite a few people out. I know some people said they only had to enter the code once, but this wasn't the case for me and many others.
I did try and point this out many times last night but the thread moved so fast and people weren't reading back so they got caught out thinking they only had to enter the code once.
Hope you all get it sorted and get refunds etc
I appreciate people are saying they have checked their accounts and the full amount has been taken off and that's definitely not great and I would be raging if it happens to me after all this. To those that have had the full amount deducted can you please recheck your Paypal accounts as above and let us know if it shows the full or discounted amount as per elrasho's great info above?? It will give us all more idea of what's happening ie everyone affected or only some of us (neither option is brilliant obviously!)
Thanks!
Apparently this is a known issue and they have their technical people looking into why some people received the voucher discount when others didn't.
Anyway, I called up this morning and they said they'll be back in touch by the 6th April so I shall wait patiently while they sort themselves out.
I found the item on ebay, full price came up, then there was a box to enter the code, entered code, discount showed up, clicked buy, then asked me to purchase via paypal or credit card, selected paypal, entered paypal login details, logged in, price was showing as the full amount again....
Scrolled to the bottom of that page and there was another box to enter a code, entered code again, then the price changed to the discounted amount and i clicked buy
In Payal it shows full amount of the item. clicking on it brings up the details and shows the voucher applied
That's good for you but like I said, I'm glad to have avoided the uncertainty and potential trouble.
I'm having withdrawal symptoms though, £83 for a 5TB hard drive, I needed the space upgrade but I hate spending money!
Used the code on the coupon section.
Price went down.
Paid by Paypal.
Something went weird with payment pending.
Buyer accepted after I topped up the Paypal.
Had email confirming sale and 20% off.
Saved £25. Thanks again.

A question for those in the know - will it be easy to downgrade to Win7 as my son hates Win8. I have a spare Win7 key so would like to use it.
Cheers.
The laptop should have a recovery partition that you shouldn't remove just incase. If the OS explodes or something you can always go back to Windows 8 that came with it.
If their tech team are looking into it at their highest priority - I'm guessing it wasn't a misunderstanding.
That's what I was told on the phone
e.g
£5.00 PayPal credit held in account
£50.00 Coupon
£400.28 from credit card or bank
How else could they show a receipt that you've sent the FULL amount to the seller and how the payment was FUNDED?
The exact method was used the last time they had this promotion.
Do you think it will be easy enough to format the HD and install XP, then Win7? Or do laptops nowadays come with issues preventing downgrades?
Also, am I right in thinking Win8 was updated to give a similar experience/home screen as Win7?
Cheers.
"All discounts are being retracted and are null and void"
Then a few hours later sending another email out saying. "April Fools"
Can you imagine everyone's reaction! Would have been priceless
Although from reading the thread it seems abit hit and miss and maybe its just an error with ebay or paypal....hope they sort it out for you and you get the discount or refund
Then only one item show on paypal (payment completed) nothing else (not even anything show on pending column),
At first, every item on that order shows pending around midnight then all disappeared except that one item completed shown on paypal (with the 20% discount).
I live chat early with ebay this morning and she already jumped to the conclusion that was my fault and Paypal as well.
I did not argue and politely pointed out that why no normal ebay purchase confirmed email (even that one go through and is now dispatched already), why items was supposed pending and disappeared.
She just kept saying the old tales and I closed the chat as I need to go to work.
So I am very glad to hear from your experience and I am going to raise this issue to ebay (don’t say all is my fault – I have to shout to them this time).
Pathetic moaner.
Thinking of your suggestion, would the ISO install ok with the key - remember it's supposed to be an upgrade from XP/Vista.
Thanks.
Obviously i dont need to repeat but double check your full transaction history and your bank. If you're sure they took the full amount.
Surprisingly - i went to the regular customer support page:
http://ocsnext.ebay.co.uk/ocs/cusr?query=1357&levelHierarchy=5a3a4
Clicked to 'Call me' to request a callback and someone rang me straight away! Patrick was the guy i spoke to and he recognised my discount code was applied by i was charged the whole thing (£50 on a £250 purchase!) and said would have it sorted in 48 hours
WIN :smiley:

Read the site rules. Your discussion has nothing to do with the discount, it's just common courtesy to take it to pm.
But hey, you'll probably call me pathetic too now.
They have some ISO's here.

As for the discount am not 100% sure if I got it or not
Ebay says ive spent/sent £60 yet PP says £75 but does show discount amount in PP but still they took £75
just checked the bank and nothing is showing up yet which is normal for the bank as they are slow
going to wait till Monday then check again.
Thanks anyway. :smiley:
thanks everyone. been drooling for a kitchen gadget for a month. now i can have a rice cooker and steamer :smiley:
Probably not, but just a thought.
However, I have made a case that both at eBay and Paypal checkouts I have been shown the discounted figure and thus they are breaking the law by charging me a different amount, especially since neither their voucher T&C nor the final Paypal page (where arguably the deferred payment would have been selected) mention anything regarding it.

They have opened a ticket for this particular instance and once I get a call-back from them I will share it so that anyone in the same situation can get their refunds.
Transaction Details (Paypal)
Your bank payment is scheduled for 14 Apr 2016. (Unique Transaction ID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
PayPal has already paid the seller. We'll debit the payment from your bank 14 days after you purchased the item, on 31 Mar 2016. The payment will show on your bank statement as a PayPal purchase.
Also described here:
How it works.
When you select Pay After Delivery at checkout, we’ll pay the seller instantly – but you won’t pay anything for 14 days, giving you time to receive your item before you pay for it. We’ll send you a reminder email before we debit the money to help you keep track of your payments.
Makes you wonder if eBay turnover was well under target, and they used this short notice offer to boost their figures.
Discount was correctly applied on the item that went through but having items vanish from confirmed order is very poor from Ebay.
They have asked me to send a screen-shot to them which shows their website with errors on voucher entry to investigate but confirmed they will not use this as evidence of me not using the code properly and have escalated to Level 2 support for resolution. Will let you guys know of the service number once it's all sorted!
My partner bought 6 items and only 5 went through has had call number 2 back form ebay.
Basically they are saying its not there fault and that its paypals fault fornot making the payments on them items.
We now have to contact paypal and im expecting them to pass the ball back to ebay.
By the way, The online chat thingy clocked up more that 6 million problems in just over 30 min's round about 4pm is this a normal day or is it April Fools ! or is ebay/paypal trying to make fools as many as possible.
Glade I don't work there today :sunglasses:
My issue ^^^^. eBay just called me back. The code wasn't applied to my purchases (no sh1t Sherlock!) so they're not going to refund the discount. However, they're cancelling the equivalent amount of seller's fees from the balance on my seller's account so I'm happy with that.
I feel for the peeps who are having a nightmare with this though, hope eBay does the right thing and sorts it all out.
I think you're right this is going to be fun! My love hate relation with ebay is now leaning more towards hate.
I called PayPal who said the transaction had been declined by my bank. I found this surprising considering every other payment went through and I had a backup payment method on the account. But at least I knew what the problem was and knew no payment would go through. In the end I reordered with someone else's PayPal account. Good luck!
Just got to reorder the items.
What a mess!,,paypal said all they have been taking calls for today since 8am is this 20% code and failed payments,items returning to basket.
Thanks
So, if you failed to get your discount correctly applied, were you using a mobile or tablet?
Sounds like good advice but I waited until the last minute myself.
One thing I have learned as a buyer & seller on eBay....the apps are all too often buggy & useless....just check out the community forums....99% of listing problems tend to be app related....maybe that's down to eBay....or maybe because people insist on using their fashion accessory phone/tablet rather than a traditional PC/Laptop with a real browser
Second order (Laptop from Argos) was made around 9.30pm and again, code accepted and discount given, with Paypal showing the net amount funded from the bank after £39.99 discount.
For both, the usual confirmation emails were received from both Ebay and Paypal and no other emails since apart from those confirming dispatch of both items.
However, strangely enough, both Paypal accounts show payment was made around 1am this morning (1 April), although they were of course made at 8.30pm and 9.30pm respectively last night. Weird.
Anyway, they do both appear to have gone through ok with only the net amount being taken from the bank (although we haven't actually checked our bank accounts - we're just assuming all's ok). Unless of course other people have had the same as us i.e., everything pointing to the discount being applied (emails, Paypal account) and the NET amount being taken from their bank/credit card, but their bank/credit card accounts actually showing the full amount taken?
:wink:
Oh well, I'll just wait 6 months for the next voucher I suppose! (And I'm totally making a list of all the stuff to buy next time so I'm prepared!)
Made a complaint to eBay on Friday morning when I saw this had happened, and just now got an email saying "sorry this happened, here's another 20% off code to use before 10th April".
Whilst this is an ok gesture, it's left me paying full price on items that I purchased only because I could apply a discount. So this new code is a tad useless and more money to eBay. Not thrilled tbh.
YOUR DISCOUNT AWAITS
Hello [redacted],
Our coupon offer on Thursday 31st March was very popular and due to the high demand we were unable to fulfil the discount at that time.
We're sorry for any disappointment this may have caused.
We'll be refunding you the amount of [redacted] directly to the PayPal account that's linked to your eBay account within 14 days. This is the discount amount that should have been applied. The coupon was valid for one transaction, if you tried to use the coupon more than once we will apply the discount to the highest value transaction you made on the day.
Kind regards,
The eBay Team
Naturally; I've provided the information, along with one of the screenshots taken.
PayPal don't seem to be much use; the messaging centre still states "cannot be displayed at this time..."
Cheeky offer though lol however I am not impressed!
So rang again only to be told that they can't do anything.
What a bunch of...
Today I got an email saying they'd honour the discount and have given me a refund of £31.
So I applied my voucher, it reduced the price.
I paid via PayPal which confirmed and said thankyou etc ,just gone back into eBay to find the item still in my basket at full price claiming I never paid.
Con job of the highest level.
conned, shenanigans, call it what you will
Voucher showing as applied, payment was taken for full amount and no sign of the voucher having gone through despite it showing as successful prior to payment.
Called ebay and was told to expect contact by 6th April, if no contact by then, to call them back.
Why should I have to wait and see? I want to be confident that I will receive a resolution as should everyone else who has called to complain.
Not feeling full of optimism about the "resolution" that may or may not arrive but fingers crossed.
Waiting is the worst part!
Today Ive got a message saying that the voucher didn't applied and they can do nothing about it!
Of course, when I checked out the discount was clearly visible, etc.
Anyway,I had contact the seller from the beginning, explaining the situation,and asking to wait for my reply before dispatch. He was very helpful and understanding, and as he said he also dont really like dealing with them. Now I have to ask him to cancel it.
I use ebay more than 7years and I ve got 100% feedback. Im fuming but at least it will help me keep clear of them for a while. No surprise why everybody hates them.
I entered the code; it was accepted. PayPal stated it was applied.
eBay cart summary showed voucher and value. Total price took discount off.
And after all that; they still took the full amount from my account through PayPal.
Yes; supposedly will be rectified in a couple of days, but still...
If it had happened that the voucher could not always be applied, or otherwise displayed an error, then it would actually be more reassuring.
no call came! called Sunday morning. person I spoke to this time said there was no trace of the code and basically tough!!
Thanks
They said they would be in touch by the 6th April so they're fast running out of time and my patience is wearing thin too, sadly.
ebay have been helpful when speaking o them directly but in terms of following up their promises not so good.
As for paypal, well... Everyone with half a brain knows @gmail and @googlemail are the same domain names. Apparently not the case with paypal. I registered my email address years ago when it was googlemail and now it's gmail but both work the same. Apparently that was enough cause for them to reject my request for help due to "data protection issues", load of cobblers.
Will be calling ebay tonight with a less forgiving tone. There's no excuse for bad customer service these days.
Instead of the nice Irish folks I woke to the other day ended up connected to an Asian call centre.
Lady was less than helpful, offered me another voucher when I clearly asked for a return of the amount missing from the last voucher.
Then when I revised that she tried to suggest they had no record of me using the voucher and therefore I was lying!
Eventually I think the message got through and hopefully I should be contacted within 14 days, but not impressed with the hoops I'm having to jump through for their mistakes.
Did you contact ebay or paypal to get the refund? Do you have a phone number or path to chat service?
Contacted support the next day, they assured me they will deal with it and sort me out. Great finally.
Still didn't hear anything as of yesterday, contact them again. "Sorry since you managed to use the code on something you're SoL"
Thanks eBay, for reminding me never to use you again.
I didn't want to get into that hassle that why I ask from the seller,from the very beginning, to wait for dispatch and I said to them that I just gonna cancel the transaction... I got refund in the end but really I wouldn't like to go through all that again...
had waited patiently all day today
another fail promise from ebay
so live chat again and ebay say they already send out to all (!)
was told again to wait for another follow up:(
right now, people pay the discount money but only could 100% until we open the paypal transcation details
we need a improved system: when something not right (ebay code not applying), we could stop the check out
right now, lots of us get caught up as we never sure how much we pay.
I would send this to ebay and I hope more people would let ebay know how poor their system are .
we all want discount (as every penny counts) and I think ebay would still do promotion again in the future. so help ourselves and push ebay to improve their system.
However, as with everything, a tiny number of people couldn't get the code to work because they either didn't follow the instructions correctly (their own fault) or used a app/mobile device (eBay's fault). The good news is that eBay are doing the decent thing and refunding everyone if the fault is due to eBay. This seems a pretty reasonable and fair approach.
This is the reply I just got.
XXXXXX, I'm afraid to say that, as you haven't successfully purchased any item on 31st March 2016, we won't be able to issue you any voucher.
when I approached ebay live chats, one of the officer didn't want to listen or deal with my case and he kept saying I should write letter (only letter accepted, he insisted) to their complain department instead.
eBay Complaints Dept Attn: (relevant dept) PO Box 9473, Dublin 15, Ireland
or try another live chat as you may find different response again. Maybe ask the live chat refer you to the 'special team' for complicated case.
it worth's a try as in the best case: they might give you some courtesy code to use for future.
ps some people did get a replacement code last sunday
I don't know how you get this assumption, to me I conclude a lot of ebay users get affected.
I myself did follow all the steps and ebay failed it's duty and I use PC not mobile.
And for all I read, people do all right by the book.
so I have to challenge how you sum up it's ebay user's fault not ebay itself:|
if ebay did improve it's failing system, it benefit to all of us, I don't understanding why you hate such improvement. Don't forget if you would still using ebay, you could also have great chance to be one fo the victim too! What's wrong with you?
I argued that the 20% was never coming from the sellers cut anyways and that eBay was covering the 20%!
Again I'm told "sorry we can not refund the 20% over payment. Please use this code for 20% off your next purchase". Again I told them I don't want to buy anything else, I just want the 20% honoured on my original purchase as I only authorised the discounted amount and they still took 100% from my bank account!
They are not willing to budge, even though they agree it's their fault!!
Never have I experienced a company so stubborn and unfair! It's really is pathetic.
After being offered another voucher and told I was lying about having a voucher originally I doubt that this will come to an amicable resolution.
I suggest you quote this to Ebay & if they do not adhere to the offer conditions report them to Trading Standards.
Has anyone tried emailing the CEO of Ebay UK instead of going through the Customer Service channels if they really are so poor? I had luck using this tactic when resolving an issue with Vodafone before.
You should give a *concise* summary of what happened, say what you were overcharged and how much by, say you're very unhappy with the customer service response you've received so far, maybe use the bit Tallyho mentioned below?
Good luck guys
just on live chat now and they're feeding me the same BS about there's nothing they can do and i won't be getting a refund and to look out for future promotions.... not getting away with this one that easy ebay.
I was promised 3 times that ebay would contact me in order to solve the problem, none happened at all.
today I contacted again and was told another story.
ebay have no initial to contact me at all.
According to them, if I did not receive another replacement voucher then that would be end of story. I was told it should be paypal's fault or server or (me?)
anyway in order to make it sound better, I was told wait for another one(?!)
That is all wrong. I would perfer ebay just let me know right away nothing they could do. But they just keep dragging me along for so long, keep give out wrong information. I feel by doing so, ebay treat customer (at least to me) as a fool.
Everyone affected by this problem use #eBayCUK20con
Their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced
And some people believe that this happened because of the number of the transactions. This is complete nonsense, we are talking about paypal, a platform that manage million transactions every day, theoretically its on the same level of security and bulletproof as the banking platforms/apps.
When you hit the pay button your confirmation is directly tied with the amount shown on the screen, its not possible the voucher to come off and lost somewhere on the way, its such a ridiculous excuse! So many vouchers on hukd everyday, has anybody ever pay the discounted price on the screen and then been charged the full amount??
Obviously the popularity of the 20% off, was too much of a hit on their profits!
I just wanted to let you know that I have escalated the query regarding the voucher for item # 2220678***** to our promotions team. They have got back to me and let me know that due to the recent voucher issues, there is a bit of a backlog in their queue so it may be into next week when they get back to me. As soon as I hear word from them, I will be in contact to let you know. The reference number for our call is **************
Hello,
We’re writing to you about the Coupon offer you attempted to redeem on Thursday, March 31. Due to the high demand for this offer, you may have been unable to apply the discount at that time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
The investigation is still in progress, Were giving you high hopes on this since were able to escalate this issue. Please wait for further update and will keep on monitoring this case for you.
Sincerely,
The eBay Team
there we go. we can all rest easy as eBay have 'high hopes'!!! unbelievable!! :confused:
Instead of trying to improve their feedback system and the way they manage the disputes in order the "good" members been protected and found justice, they start treating everybody as dodgy.
Altought I ve got 100% feedback with more than 1500 transactions and I have won every single dispute I had, their behaviour towards me, when I had to deal with them, was imo totally unacceptable. So I decide to use ebay as less as possible.
I assume other members felt the same way and steer clear too.
Now that they become desperate, try to bring members back with costly promotions that they are not really happy to honour.
If it doesnt get resolved by ebay, im thinking of doing a chargeback for the difference as an unauthorised transaction. the transaction I authorised was 20% less.
Thank you for writing to eBay about the CUK voucher.
I can certainly understand that you are concerned about the CUK voucher. On checking the details I can see that the payment was not successful for the items due to some PayPal issue that's the reason you have not received the discount for it. As the issue was from PayPal's end so we won't be able to reimburse.
Unfortunately we do not have access as those are system generated vouchers. Hence, I'm afraid to inform you that we won't be able to reissue the voucher. For your reference, you can check the link below for the terms and condition of the voucher:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/flash/
Though this is the case, good thing is that we regularly send a voucher promotion that randomly sent to eBay member. You may be included in one of the future voucher promotion.
I trust that I've explained everything clearly. If you need any more information please get in touch. If you have any further concerns/questions please reply back to us as we’ll continue to keep this discussion open till it is resolved to your satisfaction.
Thank you for choosing eBay! You are a valued member.
Kind regards,
eBay Customer Support.
ebay are blaming PayPal, but it has nothing to do with PayPal, its a ebay system error during the 'Basket' checkout process, the code was doomed right from the start, it was set up incorrectly which effected thousands of customers.
Problems like this do happen, but its how the company deals with the problem after the event. It all depends on what resolution is offered, how the company deals with those customers who were effected, customer service plays a very important part when dealing with these types of problems.
ebay have failed hugely, its totally unacceptable.
it did state in the terms "for selected ebay users only"
could be a reason why most people are having issues maybe
I had the email, and I know 5 other people who had the email, and we all experienced problems.
I know problems like this do happen, but its how the company deals with the problem after the event. It all depends on what resolution is offered, how the company deals with those customers who were effected.
Customer service plays a very important part when dealing with these types of problems, ebay have failed hugely, its totally unacceptable.
This comes after the Live Chat adviser telling me it was because the "seller has cancelled the transaction"....except it was 4 separate sellers, and none of them had any idea there was any transaction in the first place.
Poor show eBay, poor show.
EBay shouldn't be offering a new code, they should be refunding those affected, especially in the case of screenshots / proof etc
The code must have cost them millions, presumably with the intention of getting people to spend more on eBay in the future
Being an **** with loyal customers over a few quid is only going to have the opposite effect
Also, the initial person on the live chat was useless. When I requested a manger I got the refund pretty quick
but how could ebay explain why one of the items success and others failed (all in the same order and success with check out)
also I did not receive any ebay normal auto confirmation purchase email at all (include the one success) up to now.
so ebay have nothing to do with all these (?)
ebay are just trying to pass the bucket now
also at that period, there was nowhere I could find the term and condition link as mentioned by ebay now
ebay must come clear and said sorry, not make user as a fool
one is open to public on that day (show clearly on ebay pages even not log in), then lots of failed transcations and a few days later, ebay sent another discount code to some of the affected ebay customer.
And now I've become one of those where a single item in the basket went through, but not the others.
At least they've confirmed the refund for the original mis-charge, but now I've got to go through all this again for the second voucher.
Good luck, I just got a load of b/s
Neena14:14 PM
This was because of a known technical issue on PayPal
Neena14:26 PM
You need not to be disheartened for this. You are our valuable member and I am quite optimistic that you will get another voucher in near future. We frequently come up with such voucher promotions.
Neena14:25 PM
I do understand your feeling however we do not have any such option to issue another voucher, it can be issued only by the system under mass promotion.There is no option to issue voucher manually to any single member.This is how system is designed
"yeah, and if they don't work like this one didn't?"
as they have admitted it was a known paypal issue i have messaged paypal with a complaint to see if they can offer anything
Scammy so and so's I only ordered on that day because of the code
Wish it was free to send the items back for a refund as I WOULD at least then I would have got my refund at the full price I paid , they really should be doing automatic refunds but it shows the GREED of the big companies , anyway I am letting it go as I can't be arsked for £4.22 , they can stick it and will stick with Amazon more now as they have always sorted out any problem for me and they can do free returns or even collection from home so I would have gone for a refund or sent the items back free of charge if it was from them
I have had more trouble with Ebay and Paypal than I have had with Amazon , their CS are more eager to please and keep you as a customer / keep their reputation but Ebay don't give a sh*t!
I have had my eye on a second PS4 for months, waiting for the right price point to bite. Saw this offer and went for it the voucher was worth £45 so I'm not giving up without some serious arm twisting.
It upsets me that I have to play bad cop to get anywhere with ebay with this but they are being incredibly stubborn and needs must.
Hello XXXXX,
Thank you for contacting eBay Customer Support. We understand that you are unable to use your voucher due to an error on the 31st of March.
Their are several reasons as to why the voucher was not working when you tried to apply on your end and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We regeret to inform you that we are unable to replace the voucher on your eBay account or apply the discount on your purchase(s).
You may take advantage of promotional vouchers in the future. Again we thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.
Many Thanks,
eBay Customer Support
Who's crazier? eBay for giving an endless stream of codes that they know will have issues, or us for actually using it and expecting to have to contact eBay yet again for the money (and another code)...
Dear My_name,
Just thought you'd like to know eBay International AG sent you £xx.xx GBP.
Note from sender, eBay International AG:
Thanks for participating in the CUK20 Promotion
Reversal
Please be aware that your payment can still be reversed, (e.g. if it is subject to a chargeback), even after you have sent the item to your buyer. Complying with PayPal's Seller Protection and following the trading guidelines given on our Security page helps to protect you from things like chargebacks.
I had to chase them up to confirm the refund after a lack of reply to my first query.
The first replacement voucher would appear to have been automatically issued regardless of my email.
My entire basket didn't go through on that replacement voucher so I emailed and was given the "nothing we can do" response. As the no -voucher stuff didn't go through at all; I'm not too concerned.
This one simply appeared in my account, so I'm assuming enough people had issues again to do another batch.
i havent read this whole thread but know there have been problems.
i didnt try and use the original code.
can anyone give me a quick summary? if i use the code to purchase an item and enter it at check out via paypal will i still somehow be charged the full amount?
i have my eye on an item that with the discount would happily pay but not happy to pay full price.if the chances are high ebay will f*ck me over don't think i'll bother. .... just really want that item and my inner voice says "try the code" i cba endless convos with ebay to be reimbursed.
is it worth it? does the code actually work? do i have to put it in twice once on the ebay page & once on the paypal page?
But it seems even as a buyer you are fair game!
Bought item with this voucher then item arrived not as described so seller offered me partial refund. I spoke to eBay customer service and asked if I could accept this and agent told me he needed to open a case.
I was not sure as not very eBay savy but he did and the next email from seller was here is your label return for refund.
Obviously now I can't buy the item with the 50 UKP off and eBay say well we MIGHT give you credit and sorry for the agent not explaining by opening the case the buyer will ask for return and refund. Even thou I told agent I didn't want a refund just partial refund or replacement.
I should have learned from trying to sell something which the buyer returned broken after using it for 4 hours but eBay decided it was my fault.
I swear that's it really really never again to use ebay;-)
6th april arrived and they said to wait two weeks for an answer
Just called again yesterday after no response again and the lady I spoke to was much more helpful but told me that no claim had been raised on my behalf...
Apparently there are still 300 or so people in progress for refunds so now I have to wait again while they sort their lives out.
Not a happy bunny and all faith in ebay is gone. Still half expect them to refuse my refund but I wont be going down without a fight :smiley:
Hope you get sorted!
I ended up with the discount and was the first time I ordered on EBay.
Thanks again OP.
only the nectar thing shows for me :disappointed:
also does anyone know if there is a qualifying process for these offers. like do you have to buy or sell a certain number of items or spend a certain amount to qualify
