do you have to buy from eBay... or can you just use PayPal anywhere to get the 10% off discount?

-thanks

In reference to the above question: I think only ebay auctions paid with paypal. But hey, try it on a normal paypal payment and see what happens, let us know if it works. It shows you the total with coupon if it works before you hit the final send money link, so you should be able to find out without actually sending money. Also note these are 1 use for each coupon per paypal account so if you used them for ebay auction already, it wont work.

I used the $5 off coupon on this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6827817103
thermalright xp-120 heatsink (I used that best offer thingy to get a $50 price since the coupon doesn't count for shipping).

I was going to get it from SVC, but they were out of stock! So ebay to the rescue :)

There is no $8. Have you used the coupons at all before? Its 1 use per coupon per paypal account.

I dont belive these have a limited number of redemptions, especially since I used the $5 just last night.

Well I am a little ticked off because it didnt work.
I stick the coupon code in the coupon area hit redeem and 3 times it would give me an error saying I had to hit the back button twice to verify the ammount and when I do that it tells me the page has expired.
WTF. Is paypal messing with people and not having it work a few times till you get pissed off enough not to even bother with it. If so it worked for me. I said the hell with it and paid without saving my $5 because I was doing it right just kept getting the page has expired every time I hit the back button twice like it said to.

If you go to the OPs site you will get the $8 coupon there. I have used the 10%, $15, and now the $8. I just related what paypal said after I tried using the noted coupons last night. If they are one use per account then that can explain some of it.

You are right about the $8 coupon. And it doesn't state a minimum. Cool. I'll have to find me a $10 christmas present and get it mostly free :)

Bump because we need one!

Anyway, please note in th original post that these do not apply to the total balance but rather the auction closing bid ONLY. For instance, if you are $2 shy of $50 and you simply add $2 extra, you do not qualify for the $5 off $50. Even the shipping costs do not apply so $41 + $9 s&h does not qualify for $5 off $50.

Damn... I spent $1,100 on eBay last week. Oh well, there appears to be a maximum of $25 with the 10% coupon.

Grrr, I was planning on spending $1300, thought I was really going to be saving some money for a second. Oh well, $25 is still better than nothing.

i finally got to take advantage of the $25 coupon. Just bought a Sony DCR-PC55 Black for $415 out the door. I was so mad when I couldn't get in on that deal when amazon had it for $399. but it turned out ok, got a black on for $16 more. I'm excited...new toy!

the noel code doesn't work.
I get "This Redemption Code cannot be used from your PayPal account."
I have never used this before.

I had to use the 10% one instead.

I just paid $37.90 for a Zalman 7700cu using it.

Seems all the Paypal/Ebay codes have expired. Any new ones good for today, or for use until 12/26?

Ya I just won an auction for $200 and it would be nice to save $20. So I hope there is a new coupon soon!
