Doh, still can't use as my Paypal account is New Zealand based.

[llamatron]

So, if I buy an item on eBay AU that's located in the USA but does ship to AU, but choose to ship it to somewhere in the USA and play with my aussie paypal I should be golden?

You've gotta squeeze... every... penny!

[Trent]

How did people find it last time? When do you put in the code? Are there any restrictions? Got my eye on something this time overseas.

Put the code in when you pay with PayPal.
Ensure that the payment is made prior to the offer's end time.
I made a mistake the last time and won all the auctions during the right time but paid for them a couple of minutes past the offer's end time.
Had to pay full price for that... thankfully it wasn't a lot.

[drifand]

Lots of possible purchases. Sigh...here goes my wallet

[Skullcruncher]

When do we find out the code?

But more annoyingly - how has Rove managed to last 15 years?

[Sinnertwin]

The code should be made available on the day.

[drifand]

We will update here when it does becomes available.
I am not sure what I really want to get. Is capped at $100 and minimum of $50
Some can get the sunstorm cheaper than tru delivered.

[Trent]

Minimum $50 spend, maximum $100 discount.

[griffin]

That's up to AU$1500 spend... I think that will cover most people.

Someone from ebay sent an email through to us about the special... I guess we've had so much coverage of their past specials, we've hit their radar.

Happy shopping! :)

[drifand]

I had been collecting rewards central points instead and that work okay with similar condition like motor boats etc not allowed.

[TAAUBlaster]

Sale has started! Coupon code is CELEBRATE15 :)

[Sky Shadow]

And it works - saved $44 on my first run through.

[Kazza]

Woo just made my first purchase on Generations Jetfire:D With the discount and exchange rate, I basically paid an even amount on the listed price in AUD. But it's still cheaper than having it sent from RK.

[ITZTRU]

Car Audio for me lol

[drifand]

Cash rewards is down, typical. Lol

[Jaisun]

How can you tell if an item is eligible? I'm looking at two guitar effects pedals from one seller, one shows up under eBay Australia search, the other doesn't... Should both be covered?

[Sky Shadow]

Second cart saved $52. And the third should have been $14, but I forgot to use the code. :rolleyes: I guess I have one left.

The main thing to look for is US items using the Global Shipping Program - which will block the discount.

Can't you search using ebay.com, watch list go to ebay.com.au, bring up the item purchase apply code?

I used it this way the last time but of course item was available internationally

[dirge]

drifand; when you buy using the Global Shipping Program, Paypal pays the shipping company (Pitney Bowes) separately from the seller.

And last time eBay ran a similar special, a few members here found the code wasn't valid for _that_ transaction. Something eBay doesn't really tell us. So yeah, the discounts just wont work since you're forced to pay for shipping during checkout.

I will keep an eye on this thanks

[Sky Shadow]

Remembered the code the fourth time, so I saved $108 today. Hurrah. Time to retire from eBay and get down to some work.

same here, wallet dried up, bought some car accessories and a macros toy for someone.

[Paulbot]

Be great if eBay was working tonight. Getting in earlier today must have been the trick!

[reillyd]

Aargh. I can't shop, I can't even pay for the uber expensive impulse buy this morning. I hope it works tomorrow

[ChlorHex]

I can't pay for my purchases... :mad:
Can't seem to combine the invoices as well to redeem the discount.
The site keeps hanging on me and making me sign-in repeatedly...
Ebay better honour its promo if it's the site's problem that buyers can't make payment within the stipulated period :cool:

They do reserve the right to honour or disallow the discount as part of the terms

[griffin]

Still have until midnight tonight, which is another 14 hours.

I spent about two hours yesterday in the early afternoon looking for stuff to buy, but didn't find much that I "needed". I ended up saving about AU$120.
(I searched ebay US, put them on my watch list, and then logged into ebay AUS to purchase anything that transferred across to that watch list to be sure to get the discount.)

I thought at first that the $100 limit was across the three transactions (maximum purchase would be AU$666), but when it accepted my third purchase that took me over that amount, looking at the fine print, it was $100 per transaction (making the maximum purchase being AU$2000).

I couldn't find anything else more expensive that I was comfortable paying for at 15% off... so am happy with what I got. (MP Sunstorm, JP Sixturbo reissue, 3 Gen1 combiners to have in combined mode next to the separate team members)

[Sinnertwin]

I had a good look around, but apart from United Stepper, there wasn't much that i really wanted. There were plenty of 'that'd be nice' listings, but nothing else that i could really justify dropping the extra $$$ on

How much you got Sunstorm for in the end? And which version?

[griffin]

Hopefully the Hasbro version shows up.
From Texas (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/191316555018?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649), for AU$120 after the discount.

[Sinnertwin]

Might have to edit the heading, the sale has now been extended ;)

Damn it I don't have any more discounts. :(

RE invoice combining: are the items in different currencies? I tried paying for multiple items that I had in my shopping cart yesterday, but the system separated out one item that was in GBP (all the others were in AUD), and that one item was less than AUD50, so no discount.

I'm guessing that paying for multiple items at once only works if they're all in the same currency.

That's all true, but when ChlorHex was trying to check out, eBay was having a sitewide international freakout for a few hours (which would have sucked for sellers whose auctions ended during that period, since they didn't get the last-second inflation of snipers.) The crash is no doubt why the sale time has been extended, to ameliorate complaints.

[Raptormesh]

Picked up dlx drift and windblade for $45, quite happy.

Thanks for posting this mate, it just cost me $800! haha I thought I missed the deadline but as it got extended I couldn't help myself... at least I got the full $100 discount. :p

[drifand]

I am hoping they do it again down the road, there are so many thing I do want to purchase. But the I am glad they limited to 3 purchases or I have a impulse purchase problem.

Yeah... sorry about that :D:p

Wasn't much for me, just Stepper, two boxes of sealed 1989 Batman movie Trading Cards and an unpunched Joker MoSC from the same range -shipping was just as much as the items themselves :rolleyes: I may bite on some more sealed '89 stuff, but i'm quite happy for now.

[Raider]

Well I went a little crazy...

G1 Blurr Targetmaster
G2 Strafe Cyberjet
G1 Doubledealer Powermaster
G1 Runamuck

G1 Fastlane & Cloudraker
G1 Whirl (been after this one for awhile)

:cool:

Didn't want to wait for the reissue for the monster?

I don't like the Sheryl tampos on the nose.

Is a decal not on the toy.

[Trent]

On the SP version it's tampo'd on. And the re-release is the SP version.
