    My purchase has disappeared from my ebay totally but if I log into paypal I can see it there

    Weird - mines gone off Ebay too.

    Just emailed seller.

    Most likely problem is that Ebay have removed the sellers listing.

    If it results in a refund - no doubt Ebay will want their £5 back.

    :D bought a chanel eyeliner at 3am last night for £3.75 last night! I've been wanting it for weeks but didn't want to pay £8 for it!

    A friend of mine also got me some pens as he didn't see anything he liked, was very kind of him :p

    Hope ebay will do a similar promotion soon, I have liked their facebook page just to get the newest updates!

    My DIL told me about this on Facebook just before I went to bed at 11pm last night. She gave me the code to use. She had just used it so, of course I trusted her and I went into Ebay and bought something that I buy regularly costing £5.98. I got chargd 98p and it was dispatched today. I "liked" the Facebook page today and it stated that the offer had ended. Hope there will be more!:D

    Don't be so grouchy techspec lol, it is much better to order something that you need for £1.99 than something you don't for £5, isn't it the grabbit mantra that 'it's only a bargain if you need it'? And of course a refreshingly complete contrast from the greed of those who opened several paypal accounts to get a few free £5's, I can see paypal having fun linking accounts and shutting them down lol.

    but you could have ordered 2 of said widgets for £3.98 instead :p
    the code wasn't just for a single item ;)

    For those saying the item was showing as unpaid, you had to enter the code on eBay, login to Paypal, confirm payment on PayPal THEN it redirected you back to eBay. You had to click "Confirm payment" again on eBay. Otherwise the item will show as unpaid.

    Touch!! Unless they had no space for a second widget... or if having two of said widget would cause issues such as buying two siamese fighting fish :p

    Same happened to me I always pay on time. I entered that code took £5 off I paid via paypal checked today item has not been paid

    I wanted item any way just a shame the ebay which accepted the code now refused it for some reason. I am nit too cut up about it I just accepted it I just wondered why it wasnt I thought at first I must be going mad as I always pay straight after I order or won a bid

    Don't know what happened but I paid by paypal and confirmed payment last night. When I logged on just now the item is still showing as unpaid and no sign of payment on paypal.

    Anyone else had this happen to them?

    Who is paying the seller the £5? That the coupon is worth.
