I seem to have had the 20% off applied to my eBay purchase, but the full amount (ie without the 20% off) charged to PayPal. Any ideas?

yes, 20% off that Paypal payment is from PP, not you. So if you checked how much PP had taken from your linked bank account, or off what was your previous balance, you'd see it was less than the amount paid out. Not the most obvious way of doing it, we were a bit confused the last time they had this promo.

I bought some curtains & cushions I've been watching for.

WHAT?! I'm ill 🙁

There's another set here if anyone's interested - quite a whack off John Lewis price.

Who makes up the shortfall? eBay surely?

EBay and PayPal

Has to be eBay & PayPal, but what they gain beyond generating more sales for sellers I don't know. The things I bought were the same price they were weeks ago. Last time they ran this offer they had a 'budget' once this was used they pulled the code 8-9pm if I remember right. They probably account for it as advertising, cheaper than a TV run & gets people looking on eBay.

Just read back my "if you'd checked..." and it possibly reads like I was being sarky/arsey/patronising which wasn't what was intended! Both me and t'other half used the last code and both did the "eh, what?" on seeing PP and had to double check.

Trying not to but some 80 quid brakes I don't need....

To apply the discount code to multiple purchases I assume I do it via: Basket > Proceed to Checkout (ie pay for all items for all sellers) > and then enter the code?

I remember this being a right faff last time round.

EDIT: If a seller has to re-invoice me to account for combined postage, I assume that appears accurately in my basket when sent?

On the eBay 'Checkout: Confirm Order' page in the Paypal box on the right it says "[i]This voucher or code (CUKF-x) is invalid. You’re not able to use it with this payment.[/i]"

Yet the page itself show ths discount and the reduced price: anyone else getting that?

Didn't notice it on my first purchase

The code is valid for one purchase only (multiple checkout items paid for together count as one purchase)

🙂

As above, if you want to buy multiple items under the offer then add them all to your basket and then checkout everything in one hit.

This is a brilliant deal, but when the offer was on previously the seller cancelled saying they didn't actually have stock. I've now received an email stating:

xxsellers namexxx has cancelled the postage label for the reason below:

Label Did Not Print

Your package will no longer be sent using PayPal Postage with Royal Mail.

Sounds like some of the sellers are losing out so cancelling orders. Anyone else had this problem?

but they've not cancelled the item, just the method they are using for postage surely?
