    You can test out coupons by finding "immediate payment required" auctions. You can then start to go through the checkout process with PayPal, enter the coupon. If it doesn't work, then you don't have to proceed with the purchase.
    Please could you explain? Does a purchase have to be made to test if the coupon is valid?

    Think the OP is trying to say that if you use an "immediate payment required" auction then it shows you before the sale is complete whether it is going to work or not. So if it doesn't then just stop.

    Hm. I'd be interested in trying out codes, but I don't get a payment screen until after you click "buy it now" (or make the winning bid).
