Ebay Discount Voucher

Options
I've had an email from ebay stating that I can get 20% discount from any purchase with Paypal before 7th June, maximum discount £20. All I have to do is enter a code into paypal when paying.

Has anyone else had one of these, is it a scam email or am I just a lucky so and so this week?????

The email is from reply3@ebay.com and and contains NO links!!

    These are being discussed on the boards at the moment and appear to be genuine. Most are £20 discount on purchases over £100 and can only be used once by the person receiving the code.

    I'm quite jealous....

    can the code not be passed on so everybody can use it? :D
  • Judging by what the actual code is, i wouldn't be suprised if it could. But I'm a little reluctant to post it up here, not at least until I use it first. Worst thing is I've just purchased a pair of jeans on ebay for £80 so missed out on that purchase. The other items I'm considering are much lower so less discount!! Can't have all the luck, the jeans that came this morning have a shop security tag attached filled with dye. Rather suspicious me thinks.

    I have also received a 20% of any purchase as long as the seller accepts paypal as payment. Looks genuine to me :j

    Why don't you contact ebay and ask them? or check in the help to see if it says anything there?
