No. People shouldn't use the term 12PM because it's ambiguous.
PM means after midday. 12:00 isn't after midday.
AM means before midday.
So midnight is 12AM, and at the same time it's 12PM
Maybe they should start it at 12:01PM to avoid confusion. Or just say it starts at midday.
Or, even better, we just use the 24 hour clock and get rid of AM and PM completely.

Same here, I have activated the offer before purchase but no luck. I have send them a picture of screen when ordered clearly showing 10x points with price and everything. Still waiting for reply.

I guess this is midnight to midnight? There's no such thing as 12pm.

From memory, according to the T&Cs, we get the bonus points added to our Nectar accounts around 28 days after the promotion. At the time of purchase, we just get 1x Nectar Points at checkout.

If i have already accepted a best counter offer on an item but not paid yet. If i wait till tomorrow to pay, will i get the 10x nectar points?

I was in the same situation last time this promotion came up. I delayed the payment, and on the checkout page the next day it showed that I would receive 10x points, but it's only showing the base points of the transaction in My eBay: Nectar and it has the date marked as the day the item was won, not the day after when it was paid for. So it feels like I won't be getting the points, but it hasn't been 28 days yet to know for sure.

Hmm? I've got Nectar, but I haven't been given the offer? Is this user specific???

Same. I haven't received any emails regarding this offer.

That's because it's not live yet. It's in the Nectar app, and guess emails will be sent in next couple of hours.
Annoyingly, I had to auctions end this morning which could have netted me 2000 points. Oh well.

I've just checked with Nectar on Twitter and 12pm is midday today (so the offer has just started!).
It will end at midday tomorrow.
(I wish they had simply said 12:00 - much easier to understand!)

I can't find any mention of the offer on the Nectar app or on ebay, is it likely it's not available to me as I made use of it last time?

Go to a listing and refresh the page. It should show the bonus points you could get. Fairly sure the offer is open to everyone.
Edit: Actually just logged into an old account, and doesn't seem to be available. So maybe limited. Unsure what the parameters would be though?

Doesn't appear to be showing for me - got a basket full of stuff ready to go so I'll hold off just in case its delayed.
I did view another product not in my basket in case and it still showed standard amount of points.
Fingers crossed...
