    I've been on ebay for years but have never got anything like this - do you have to be signed up to their regular emails and newsletters?

    Ditto loyalty gets you no were :mad:

    I think you have to have the option for Marketing emails to be sent ticked in your account to at least be in with a chance.

    Just a tip for those of you who don't know what to buy with the £10 off coupon. Here's what we did if you prefer to get some Money CASH :)

    Its my partner who received the coupon. Not me.

    I have made a listing on ebay to sell him something I have :P (The cost of the item I have put is 0.99 in Buy it now format and the postage cost I have put is £9.01). And when he used his coupon in Paypal to pay me he got the £10 off applied and here I am with £10 CASH from Ebay.

    Thanks ebay for being Generous :)

    Please note:

    For any one concerned about doing this just to let you know this isn't Fraud. Its perfectly legal as its not considered as shill bidding in which you increase the price on others.

    I would also like to add the following link from Ebay which says:

    "Family members, roommates or employees may purchase items from a seller without violating this policy simply by using purchase options, such as Buy It Now, which do not involve bidding."

    http://pages.ebay.com.sg/help/policies/seller-shill-bidding.html

    just looked on paypal theres an option "select from list"perhaps valid codes that you have been sent are always on there? so if you do get sent any check to see if it appears on there first then everyone will always know when they get codes

    P.S for those who missed it on page 2 CIRCLE

    I'd be VERY careful doing something like that mira - eBay will view that as shill bidding and probably fraud too, and they don't take prisoners if they suspect that.

    I got one too, i think they're trying to tempt me back as i haven't used ebay since christmas...

    So the trick is not to use Ebay / Paypal and then an e-mail will come...
