See here for coupons that give a discount (on the item price only - excluding shipping and insurance) on eBay "buy it now" items (not auctions as far as I know) paid for via PayPal. When paying via PayPal there's a checkbox option allowing you to redeem a coupon and then you enter the coupon to get the discount. Worked for me just now while buying a 2GB Secure Digital flash card. There are a few other similar sites that list these sorts of offers although they all seem to have the same codes at any point in time. :)
 
Any eBay site as far as I know. I don't think it matters anyway which eBay site you go through. I usually go via eBay.ie but have sometimes linked via eBay.com or eBay.co.uk and it's all been the same (apart from eBay.ie automatically knowing to show the foreign currency prices in €s.

I have given up on using .ie and have reverted to using .co.uk cos the response time under .ie is pants. Anyone agree with this ?

And response time is important when I'm looking to swoop with a final bid in the last 10 seconds of an auction. This is how I now get my endorphin highs :eek: .

Are you sure it's not a local problem? I haven't experienced any delays with the .ie site lately.

Yeah - this online bidding/shopping is bloody addictive too! :eek: Just lately I've already bought four SD Card MP3 players plus three 256MB SD Cards (belated birthday pressies), a laptop port replicator, a second hand PocketPC with various extras, a new mobile phone battery for one of my nephews (the brother is paying though), another one for the mother in law, a foldable keyboard and a 2GB SD Card for the PocketPC and a second hand Mothercare harness for carrying the baby (must've felt guilty that day!). :D
 
Any eBayers interested in reducing their 'endorphin highs' ;) should check out the use of 'auction snipers'. I use www.snip.pl — used to be free, now €0.15 per successful 'snipe'. You can still get a free version at (look for the free 'BidTamer' option), but it's a lot more fiddly/limited and involves clicking through their 'sure-you-wouldn't-like-to-pay-for-the-premium-version?' page every time you log in.

Clubman, thanks for the promo codes. Looking forward to testing whether or not they work outside eBay's/PayPal's .ca & .com 'jurisdictions'... :) I originally registered with eBay.co.uk, but my login/password work fine on any of the other sites. As far as I can see, there's no particular advantage to registering separately with eBay.ie, other than that the prices are displayed in €. I seem to remember reading somewhere on the [broken link removed] that listing fees were higher than on .co.uk, but can't remember the details... (I'm a buyer, not a seller — so far!)

I'm pretty sure that they do although I can't remember which domain I went through when using one of the codes for my last purchase.

Er, did you read the details on the links that I posted? :confused:

Er, no cos I was at work when I posted and I've been caught out by clicking at links while at work. Not that your link was inappropriate, just me not wanting to bring something up on screen that I wouldn't choose to do at the desk.
 
Silly question, but

Reading the link is says

"The codes apply for purchases made between November 7 and November 30 for Buy-It-Now auctions, limited to 1 use per person."

So does that mean I can only use 1 of the 3 codes, or each code can only be used once? I have 2 buy it now purchases and obviously want to make the best use of these, ideally using 2 codes :)

Thanks

S.
