    I got a £10 voucher using the code "Cheeky", all the same t&c's as above.

    I seem to fulfil all their criteria, but am a bit worried about buying something that I had no intention of buying just to use this discount. (It seems a little too generous IMO)...

    I wonder how many people are going to buy something, then find they can't use the voucher. Is this a moneymaking exercise by paypal?

    Has anyone used this?
    Seems to good to be true! Have I got it right buy a "buy it now item" and if you pay by paypal (always do anyway) you get £5 off and no minimum spend?

    I don't think it has to be a "buy it now" purchase, please tell me if I'm wrong before I commit to bid.

    Oh and I got a £5 voucher with a "candle" code, obviously havn't spent enough money over 5 years to deserve a £10 voucher:rotfl:

    Incase you wonder why it wont work, It's because you have to be one of the selected members of ebay which receive the voucher through email!! If you didnt receive the email this time, you could have received the email when they issued the vouchers out last time, or when they issue the next vouchers.

    any codes that work PLEASE! :confused:

    did you read the above posts advising it is probably only valid for people who are being "targetted"?? if you have not got the email yourself i would say you are more than likely not eligible for any money off. i myself got a £10 off email, sweet! hehehe

    I received a booklet in the post from ebay with a £5 off a £10 spend (excl p&p),code was Coupon0108,it was addressed to the occupier which made me assume anyone could use it,this wasn't the case though and out of a few friends who tried it,it worked for about 1 in 3,

    I didn't receive any other codes either by email or post but I have tried the ones mentioned on this thread,candle & cheeky were not valid for my paypal but circle worked and gave me £10 off any purchase,not sure if there is a minimum spend on it,it didn't say but my purchase was £55 so its possible there could be,there's also another code worth trying,Coupon0508,its £20 off £100 if its accepted

    I think the best way to test would be to find an item which requires immediate payment,that would enable you to get through to paypal to test each of the codes (as you won't have actually bought the item until you have paid) to see if any will work on your account,once you've determined that just log out of paypal making sure you don't accidentally complete the purchase!

    At least then you will know which codes will be accepted before you buy something in hope that the code will work
