20% ebay voucher

In February I got a 10% eBay voucher which I didn't use, in March I got a 20% voucher which was good but I didn't have any immediate use for it. Today I want to spend £700 on bike parts but as sods law would have it the voucher expired yesterday.

Does anyone know if eBay send these regularly? I've had one offer for each of the past two months.

    I've read before that these Ebay discount codes are specific to the User ID they've been sent to, they don't work on a diffeent account.

    I've never had a discount code sent to me in spite of buying quite a lot from Ebay. I wonder why some people receive them & others don't?
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    It was actually a "welcome back" voucher sent to an account I haven't used for years. i.e. the offer is only open to people with dormant accounts.

    I have exactly the same issue. Used my 20% voucher for £2 off a pair of shoes last week. Today I have to send over £700 and can't find another voucher for love nor money (my searching led me to this thread).

    I even contacted ebay and PayPal asking for another one but they were too wise for that :(

    Same here....sod's law! Think you get sent the vouchers when you havnt bought anything for a while. Mine were to spend with paypal. Dont think there will be anymore codes, as i had the first three voucher codes one after the other :-(

    If you have a 10% off voucher you haven't used, try using that. I used mine yesterday, even though it said it had expired. You do have to pay by paypal though.
    I don't know whether they are specific to one person, but I used C-UKBACKMT2 for 10%

    Thats why you don't get them. It's to encourage people who don't buy. I never get them either.

    Of course the new voucher expired because I didnt have anything I needed/finshed until the day after. Double Grrrrrr lol
