When you first enter code in eBay payment screen code CTCV3 it deducts 20% from cost inc P&P. BUT...when you then go to PayPal to pay it says invalid promotion code.

I have received codes by email in the past but not this batch (my email is same for PayPal and eBay)

Same here everytime passes ebay but then to paypal it wont work.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND MAY EXPLAIN WHY SOME PEOPLE DO NOT GET COUPONS FROM EBAY and PayPal. In "My eBay", under "My Account" on the left side of the screen, there is an option for "Notification Preferences". If you click on this, you will be taken to a large variety of "preferences". Down at the bottom, the very last choice is "Promotions and Surveys". Click on "Show" and you will be given five "Subscription" options. The second one is "General email promotions. Send me emails about whats new and hot on eBay, great deals, special events, discount coupons and other special offers." Just put a check mark in the box, save your settings, and voila! You WILL receive coupons eventually, not right away of course, but when eBay gives them out.:money:

I got told this but all my boxes are ticked still allways have since years ago.

You also need to ensure that your ebay name is under the auction section in your paypal profile and that both your ebay and paypal email addresses are the same.

There nothing you can do if they dont work there not for your account. Paypal has cought on to all this and its going to get harder and less likley you can use other people codes anymore.

If the codes dont work just forget them and wait for new ones. Dont waste your time worrying how to make them work. If your email addresses match and names forget it wait for new code nothing can be done in the mean time.

Can someone please tell me how these codes are useful? If there is a link to somewhere on the site which explains this I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction! :beer: Thanks.

When you go to pay for an item. You get a box add voucher in there for money or discounts off paypal or ebay. Its really simple that's it.

Paypal gives them out to random people luck of the draw basicly. There more members on paypal then ever before they used to give it out to everybody. But now that many people have signed up they only do it at random now.
