    And looking at this guy's feedback, he did the same in March. This is ridiculous!

    There are 5 listings, and 6 vouchers on each. How the hell did he get 30?!

    Have you tried reporting them to eBay? Resell of vouchers is against the RSH T&Cs and resale of train tickets is against National Rail rules.

    I've reported him to RSH... I think he was selling them last year when the Telegraph codes were published and I reported him then (if its the same seller)

    as long as you can have as many RSH accounts as you want then such offer will be abused

    Jadex .. like I said over on HUKD.. there's a difference in someone having a few emails (hence few RSH accounts), and someone like this ebay fella having upward of 30 then selling then on!

    By using bot software to gather the codes.

    not the case - the expiry date on the codes hes selling is 2020 so the codes are from previous offers where you did not need a 'bot' (just lots of spare time & email addresses)

    the way it was done this time was good IMO because there was no way one person could (manually) get lots of codes unless they did have a 'bot'

    most people don't have a clue how to create one thankfully - I think even if you had the necessary coding skills it might still be quite tricky to create one as I suspect you cant really test it before the offer goes live
  • Managed to get one on the 4pm yesterday - boom, trip to manchester sorted :)

    I got one at 8pm last night. My train ticket for 5 of us to go on holiday was £93.
    Bought Family & Friends railcard for £27 (with 10% off code) which reduced the ticket price to £53.
    £10 free RSH code from MSE, plus £10 Tesco Clubcard vouchers = £20 RSH voucher means the ticket price is £23. Total spend for £93 train fare is £50.
    Thank you Martin, and MSE :j

    You are making a fool of yourself.

    The seller had for sale, eight lots (3 of which had been sold) of 6 x £10 pound credits, which were spit in to six accounts. Which in itself is suspect.

    For theses to been funded by Tesco points is very unlikely as even with the £20 RSH credit for 1000 points deal. The seller would needed to have at least 24000 clubcard points to pay for them. When I changed two years worth of points (1000), I was giving only one credit code for £20 and not 2 x £10 codes. Who in the last few months has spent the average year's pay shopping at Tesco's?

    The fact that each £10 credit has it's own account instead of being all together in just one account, or even just the codes being for sale.
    Points to each £10 credit having been gained using a different email address. So what we have here is someone trying to hide their tracks, a honest person would have no need to do this.

    As with all the RSH voucher give-aways the £10 credit codes are linked to the email addresses.

    For the record I did get a voucher code and have already used it.
