£10 voucher code from eBay - what did you buy? Can I buy this?

I've noticed in the T&C that it says I can buy 1 item and get £10 off.

Does this mean that if someone has a listing that costs £2 each and has 'more than 10' I can buy Qty 5 of these and get £10 off as in the sales bit it only comes up as 1 item.

Does anyone have any idea? I do not want to buy it and find I've got to pay for all but 1 x £2 item, I might as well go find something else.

What did you use the money for. It runs out in a few days time. What do I actually *need*??

    I looked for a specific item that would normally cost £5-£6 and cost about £4 to post, so to use up the voucher, I made an offer to a couple of sellers to edit their £5 + £5 p&p listings to £10 post free.

    This obviously uses up the voucher, the seller gets a sale for about the same price as they hoped and I got a free item, post free. :T

    The first seller I approached didn't seem to understand that £5 + £5 postage = £10, so after a 3rd supplimentary question, I told them not to bother. But the second seller I approached also had a voucher, understood the proposal and immediately changed their listing to fit in with the offer. ;)

    Yeah you can. I bought 5 different cheaper items and used the voucher on them. As long as its in one transaction that you pay, you can buy 1000 1p things if you wanted to! :)
