Recieved an email with a code for £75 to spend anything from eBay via PayPal.
Anyone else get one ?

Apparently a free gift and gesture due to the password fiasco last month.

Sure it's not a spam email. Crafty spammers are crafty

How much do you use eBay? Could be genuine, I've had a number of £5 vouchers and even a couple of £10. If it's just a code you add to paypal when you pay it'd be pretty difficult to pull any details and scam money from you that way.
Just make sure you don't click any links in the email!

I'm now worried, I got a random £10 voucher last year but all seemed kosher as it was a message actually within my ebay account. Spent it, got the goods and no follow up nonsense or emptying of bank accounts thereafter...yet. Did seem odd though!

That sounds perfectly normal, I wouldn't worry

Nothing for me, and I [i]was[/i] quite badly messed about by the password cock up. Cost me a lot of time, some bad will, and some £££'s on several items.

Just spoken to eBay and it all checks out.
Basically £75 to spend on anything I fancy - or multiple items in my basket.

Not sure what I've done to get this but I need to new track pump 🙂 and some other bits small bits.

I got one. Being a voucher code providing you head direct for Ebay and enter the code at checkout I'm not sure there's any risk. Just don't click on the links in the e mail just in case.

Just bought a shed load of stuff with my voucher. Worked a treat and I'm very very happy 🙂
