    You think that there3 are still spots avaliable 35min after lol.

  • portmac on 07/12/2009 - 10:56

    Thanks for that… I received the same email at 10.19am, but didn't pay it much attention!

    This $12 promo is hidden at the bottom of what is a page of fairly unremarkable paypal offers, lets hope people didn't notice it too quickly!

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 07/12/2009 - 11:00

          Someone edied their post lol

    • jm51 on 07/12/2009 - 12:51

      Up to $12, if the postage is over $12 you pay the excess, so it is $12.

      • POWERevolution on 07/12/2009 - 13:18
        -4

        My point is if the postage is $5 … they won't give you $12!!!

        • zhenjie on 07/12/2009 - 13:24

          $12 postage NOT ENOUGH for you?

          • POWERevolution on 07/12/2009 - 13:29

            @zhenjie: You guys must misunderstood. I'm just saying the title show you get $12 for postage but actually it's depend on the seller listing.

            • zhenjie on 07/12/2009 - 14:35

              @POWERevolution: Don't see anyone reporting confusion with the title apart from yourself? It seems pretty clear to me. That is unless of course he edited the title.

    • rle02 on 07/12/2009 - 13:51
      +2

      Im sorry but I have to disagree, I dont think the title is misleading
      This deal is for a Postage voucher to the value of $12.
      Its not "$12 off postage" or "up to $12 off postage"
      If you choose to save less than $12.00 by purchasing items with less than $12 shipping that is completely up to you, but regardless of your purchase you will still get a $12 postage voucher (if your lucky enough)

  • lollyinthesky on 07/12/2009 - 12:31

    I thought it read like it was only valid for people who had received the email? I don't think all Ebay accounts received it.

  • msbluberry on 07/12/2009 - 12:44

    Thanks, hopefully receive an email soon :)

  • Turd on 07/12/2009 - 12:55

    This Promotion applies to the first 50,000 entrants who sign up to receive the free shipping voucher during the Promotion Period in order of subscription (to a maximum of fifty thousand (50,000) subscriptions).

  • Turd on 07/12/2009 - 13:08

    I just got my email for the voucher just now.

    now lets all sell a blank piece of aper on eBay, $0.01 + $12 postage :)

    • cooperdog on 07/12/2009 - 16:48

      Could a 'friend' just create a 0.01 +$12post BIN listing for whatever. You 'purchase' it, pay through PP and then claim back the $12? How would they ever know it was a fake listing, just put something that is about the correct value?

      • Hintswen on 09/12/2009 - 10:34

        a box of rocks then?

  • so_fetch on 07/12/2009 - 13:24

    I just received an email from paypal with the subject " (Your Name), it's raining shipping vouchers"

    Is this the one? and where may the voucher be located in this email? I just see a whole bunch of links to paypal offers.

    • sparkles on 07/12/2009 - 13:25

      That's just the email for you to sign up, it's not the voucher. In the email click on "Find Out More" in the section with the girl with the presents. It will take you to the same page as the one linked here (above).

    • mdsh on 07/12/2009 - 13:30

      My email had the subject "A special Christmas delivery on us".

      • lollyinthesky on 07/12/2009 - 13:41

        I just got a second one from Paypal ('It's raining shipping vouchers'). My earlier 'A special Christmas delivery on us' email was from Ebay.

  • sparkles on 07/12/2009 - 13:25

    I give this a + provided I get the voucher. :D

    I never seem to manage to be in the first 50,000 or whatever for these things despite signing up as soon as I get their email.

  • nowlan on 07/12/2009 - 13:58

    Im hoping this works on the hk sellers, $1 plus first born shipping.

    They show up on ebay.com.au.

    if u read the t&c it says only people who are invited may enter….. which means i miss out again since i dont have an invitation email…

    • rle02 on 07/12/2009 - 17:21

      hey you might want to check your notification preferences as this looks like a general promotional email.
      I have 3 separate accounts in my household and all 3 received the email

      • Trance N Dance on 07/12/2009 - 21:01

        i didnt get anything….. and when i clicked the link i didnt get anything in my email….
        but yeah it's starting to seem like it might be a problem at my end
        +ve anyway free postage for anyone is alwas a plus in my books

  • gamefreak on 07/12/2009 - 21:43

    thanks ill try it out.

    Signed up, will see how we go.

  • bobsi18 on 08/12/2009 - 18:05

    Signed up, how long is it taking to receive the voucher? I've just made a purchase, and would like to use it on that purchase to get a discount on the shipping…

    • maybeamacy on 08/12/2009 - 18:07
      +1

      You will find out if you got the voucher on Friday.

      You can't use it on the purchase you made now only purchases between the 13th and 20th.

    • ash2000 on 08/12/2009 - 18:12
      -4

      Successful applicants will be advised by email on Friday.

      Your current purchase will not be eligible for this discount. See below.

      **The voucher is valid for shipping on items bought on eBay.com.au and paid for between 00:00:01am AEDST Sunday 13 December 2009 until 23:59:00pm AEDST Sunday 20 December 2009

      • bobsi18 on 08/12/2009 - 18:32

        Ahh, I didn't notice that, thanks for the heads up, I'll pay for this one now. I'm sure I'll be buying something during that time anyway.

      • alamodey on 08/12/2009 - 19:50

        So? You can buy something now and then not pay for it until Sunday 13th December 2009.

        • ash2000 on 08/12/2009 - 22:43

          I'm gathering those dates are for "bought and paid".

          • alamodey on 09/12/2009 - 23:33

            @ash2000: No, because it would've said "bought and paid".

  • princessmya on 09/12/2009 - 11:12

    have some people gotten the voucher and other waiting for friday?

  • maybeamacy on 09/12/2009 - 13:06

    No, all wait till Friday.

  • maybeamacy on 09/12/2009 - 17:14

    They have reached max limit which means we got them!! YAY!!

  • EarthMan on 10/12/2009 - 13:24

    Haven't received it yet !! it's been a few days now

  • R.R.P on 10/12/2009 - 13:26

    We have to wait till tomorrow to see if we got them.
    Lets say I won something on ebay yesterday and I still haven't paid for it yet. Can I still use the voucher when were able to use it? or does it have to be something you won with that period?

  • maybeamacy on 10/12/2009 - 15:18
    -1

    Yeah, Won and paid for in that period from Sunday for a week.

  • ChadHominem on 10/12/2009 - 22:05

    Using the voucher, GTA: Episodes from liberty city ends up being under $30 shipped!
    What a bargain. Check the HK buy it now listings.

    • sparkles on 11/12/2009 - 09:14

      I always assumed that all the games listed from HK were totally fake, as they always seem so much cheaper. What are peoples experiences with buying games from HK, in particular Wii and PS3?

      • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 14:25

        DS games are fake, Wii games are region locked with 4.2, PS3 are not sure. But I don't think they would make fake blu-ray games?

        • ChadHominem on 12/12/2009 - 01:35

          You can fake 360 games? Hell if it runs on my unmodified xbox 360 they're geniuses!
          What's the difference between these ebay shops and let's say..playasia?
          they're both based in hong kong..and have similar pricing on the same products.
          difference is some ebay shops charge a ridiculous amount for postage..
          probably to make up for the seemingly discounted price of the game.
          good thing about the voucher is that the ridiculous shipping is no longer ridiculous,
          and so we end up with a cheaper game.

  • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 01:59

    Todays the day we find out!@!!!@!@!@!!

    • alamodey on 11/12/2009 - 09:30

      Anyone got it yet? i have something to buy, dammit.

      • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 13:55

        You can't use it till sunday lol.

  • R.R.P on 11/12/2009 - 10:59

    nope :(

  • EarthMan on 11/12/2009 - 12:22

    Nope and I wish I didn't put my positive vote so early

  • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 13:50

    You can retract it but it said ON FRIDAY not at the start of friday :D

    • alamodey on 11/12/2009 - 15:23

      But friday is half over. are you telling me the folks at ebay work harder on a friday afternoon?..

      • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 15:37

        You can look at the previously posted winners and they were announced at 4pm and 7pm in the afternoon. Others were 3AM in the morning so I think it varies.

  • rewstar on 11/12/2009 - 19:26

    woohoo the list is up and my name is on it :)
    still haven't received the email yet thou

    use the search function it is alot easier (ctrl+f)

    • stumo on 11/12/2009 - 19:32

      Yay, I'm on the list too, but yeah no email yet. Actually I'm on the list twice, I have 2 eBay accounts but they share the same paypal account, obviously I entered with both accounts, so fingers crossed I will be getting $24 worth of free shipping!

    • sparkles on 11/12/2009 - 19:35

      Can you please link to the list?

    • bluedufflecoat on 12/12/2009 - 15:26

      same here… waiting for the email.. am hoping it didn't go into my spam folder.

  • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 19:59

    YAY I'm on the list.

    Notice how they all get crammed near the bottom?

    Wish I could use shipping now.

    • swimmingtoad on 11/12/2009 - 20:57

      did u seriously look through the entire list…?

      • maybeamacy on 11/12/2009 - 21:31

        No, I just used Ctrl + F?

        I was just saying they had to cram it at the bottom because of all the people…

  • jm51 on 11/12/2009 - 21:14

    I made it on the list too, no need to look through the entire list, just use the "find on this page" feature on firefox.

    Haven't received a confirmation email yet.

  • heathwithnoteeth on 11/12/2009 - 21:31

    yep, im on list as well! crapbay here i come!

  • King Tightarse on 11/12/2009 - 23:16

    In the 80's we used to blow $150 on a night out, no biggie.
    Now I'm stoked that I won (sorta) $12…
    Sad really 8^)

  • Pocket on 11/12/2009 - 23:18

    Woo, first thing I've won in nearly 15 years. Best Christmas ever.

  • randoom on 11/12/2009 - 23:26

    Grumble. No email, no voucher, not the the list. Signed up early but presumably no luck since I didn't get the promotional email, even though it's set in my preferences to receive it. Ah well.

  • tim_geo on 11/12/2009 - 23:45

    My account with the 10% voucher didn't make it. Second account (joined promotion later) is on the list. Is this consistent with the experience of others?

  • UrbanAngel on 12/12/2009 - 01:13

    I didn't get the email, the first I heard about the promotion was on Ozbargain. I checked the link posted above and my name is in the list. I didn't have anything in mind to buy from eBay but now that I've won it, I feel like I have to use it!

  • sparkles on 12/12/2009 - 08:32

    My name is on the list but there has been no sign of any email.
