How do you check if these codes will work without purchasing an item? I want to buy something but only if these codes work. Otherwise I'll be stuck... and will have to fork out the full amount or risk a negative feedback. Any suggestions?

HHmm dont think you can unless someone postes they have, but this was from paypal directly so they should, prehaps someone will post when they have used them?

I think in another similar post about this most people said that the codes didn't work and they were somehow linked by an email address. I think it would be best to hear from anyone who didn't get the email and successfully used the codes.

The codes won't work because they will only work if you are one of the "selected" users of ebay/paypal. From which you will get an email from paypal telling you what the codes are anyway. I think it would only be handy if they had the promotion code that they publicly advertised.

If you buy something on Buy-it-now that requires immediate payment, the purchase won't go through until you complete the PayPal checkout. Therefore you can try the codes out without making a purchase. You can cancel out of it without making any bids or purchases.

I've tried several codes and none of them worked, I didn't receive the emails though.
