      I'm needing to replace my old router also, I'm currently considering the ASUS RT-AC87U, which if it this discount applies should come in under $250 from Kogan.

  • warwick108 on 07/03/2016 - 14:01

    Do we get charged full price at paypal? and then reimbursed afterwards?

    • Tuttorix on 07/03/2016 - 14:09

      No, it should only take away the price after discount. If you've been charged the full price, please ask for a refund or open a dispute if required.

    For stores that haven't finished jack up the prices, you will see this:

    Sorry, we are facing issues with the store. Please try again later.

  • Saiya on 07/03/2016 - 14:12

    Man eBay taking a while to fix this thing up!

  • iFetch on 07/03/2016 - 14:12
    +2

    Can confirm I bought an item from the Good Guys via my ebay App on my phone. Applied the coupon, saw the reduced price, logged in to paypal (no errors shown) and then pressed Buy. Logged into Paypal to find I was charged FULL PRICE! Contacted PayPal and they couldn't do anything. Contacted eBay and they said that since I pressed buy for the reduced price, they will credit me the discount within 15 days. I'm happy with that.
    So if you want to buy anything, use the eBay app, add items to cart, apply the coupon, select payment method, take a screenshot of the final reduced price that you expect to pay, then click buy. Then call eBay and they should credit you the difference.

    • Saiya on 07/03/2016 - 14:34

      Yeah seems like a bit of mucking around. I think I'll just wait until they fix up their code. Rather not do the run around with emails.

    • starlancer on 07/03/2016 - 14:44

      How did you contact ebay? (Email or Phone?)

      • iFetch on 07/03/2016 - 15:01

        err yes i did. there was no mention of "no minimum spend" hence why i asked and not assumed that that was the case.

  • aussy on 07/03/2016 - 14:21

    I went all the way until final PayPal screen and the discount was still applied and wasn't removed.

    Is it working again now? :/

    I just added it to cart, applied code, checkout with PayPal and on both PayPal checkout screens the discount was applied.

    • Brink on 07/03/2016 - 14:23

      Mine reverts once you log into Paypal or change payment method.

      • tif1607 on 07/03/2016 - 14:27

        once you change payment method, you have to create new paypal account to get it to work again….that is how I end up getting around it

        • aussy on 07/03/2016 - 14:36

          Okay so, I tested it again and this time it was removed on final PayPal checkout screen. I'm assuming it only works the first time you enter it and login to your PayPal, if you try again it'll be removed.

        • KupoHo on 07/03/2016 - 14:51

          @aussy:
          When you cancel after logging into Paypal are you "Committed to buy" at that stage or are you able to use this to check if the discount will work?

        • andyman1908 on 07/03/2016 - 15:24

          @aussy:

          Yep same thing happened to me. Applied first time then I tried the source account and bamm, back to full price :(

    • GirlFriday on 07/03/2016 - 14:25

      Not me. Still got the discount un-applied when I get to the PayPal screen, as per OP. (FYI trying a phone from Good Guys)

      • aussy on 07/03/2016 - 14:26

        I tested it with a product from futu, not sure why it works for some and not others.. strange

    Hey Guys!
    I can not (Sockpuppeting - no idea why) post this as a deal but the code worked fine on:

    Samsung Note 4 SM-N910G from Kogan eBay
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Samsung-Android-Phone-Galaxy-…

    So I noticed that if the item has "C20TECH to save 20% (max $1000) off item price" under it then the discount applies like it did during other eBay specials.
    Purchased without any issues and received confirmation email for $553.60 with paypal receipt showing original price charged with $138.39 Voucher applied.

    Good luck hunting!

    • GirlFriday on 07/03/2016 - 14:47

      So you're saying that the tech discount applies only at selected stores AND on selected items within those stores? interesting.. (and crap, if true)

      • Smerch on 07/03/2016 - 14:50
        +1

        Well I can only confirm that it applied to this item.
        And as per other comments we can see that it works on some and does not on others.

        • GirlFriday on 07/03/2016 - 14:52

          Seems to be really random. Quite annoying!

    • strawberrybug on 07/03/2016 - 15:16

      I can see the similar note on Kogan items too
      "C20TECH to save 20% (max $1000) off item price"

    • konradp on 07/03/2016 - 15:25

      • rolin7 on 08/03/2016 - 19:06

        I dont know mate, its worth a try

      Care to share a link? Is it the evo 850?

      • compound on 07/03/2016 - 14:56

        Yep. The $144 one before discount.

  • djprima on 07/03/2016 - 14:48

    Yeah working again, thanks OP!

  • Saiya on 07/03/2016 - 14:53

    Yep confirmed working for me as well! Double checked the Paypal amount and I indeed get the 20% discount.

    Edit: Checked credit card transaction online and its all good. Charged the discounted price. I purchased the Samsung Evo SSD 512GB from Futu Online. Total on statement is $204. eBay normal price is $255.

  • caprimulgus on 07/03/2016 - 14:53

    still not working for me (good guys, dyson absolute).

    anyone got it working on the dyson absolute?

    • djprima on 07/03/2016 - 15:00

        • sb944 on 07/03/2016 - 15:18

          Chromecast 2, C+C, reduces to $46 in cart, then paypal, then price goes up once I login to paypal as it has been all day.

  • wortho on 07/03/2016 - 15:02

    didn't work for me when I tried to buy a phone via TGG. At first the paypal site showed the reduced price but I tried to change payment to another card and then the price jumped up by 20% and got the message ' X-TECH: Please enter the correct redemption code. Codes are not case sensitive' I get the feeling that if I had not tried to change the card and proceded quickly it would have worked at the lower price.

  • NickFritz on 07/03/2016 - 15:14

    Who would I contact if someone at my office didn't take notice when ordering through our work account that the 20% didn't appear? I emailed ebay directly but we shall see.

  • johnnyb on 07/03/2016 - 15:15

    Same issue with me, on changing the funding source the coupon was removed.

    TGG + Futu buys.

    Is there a link to search all the participating stores

  • neonlight on 07/03/2016 - 15:50
    +8

    Suspended until all of them decides to jack up prices, or remove all goodies deemed as "too cheap" or "bargains" to sell off even though eBay pays the difference. That's how they make money. Make it look like there's a massive discount 20% but its all artificial.

    Coding error? I say the shops forgot to "react" quick enough to take down listings before the deal starts

    • eug on 07/03/2016 - 15:52
      +1

      So you're saying eBay didn't tell all the participating stores until this morning?

      • neonlight on 07/03/2016 - 15:53
        +4

        Either that or some stores forgot to review their listing. This is all speculation. I have never seen eBay promotions like this gets suspended with "Coding" error

        • eug on 07/03/2016 - 15:56

          It seems more unlikely to me that eBay would have a 20% off sale for selected stores only, without telling the stores beforehand.

    • compound on 07/03/2016 - 16:08

      Well they jacked up the price for the Samsung SSD. I still took the bait though so their sales hype via OZB absolutely works as a social medium. It's more like a 5-15% off sale rather than 20….

      • eug on 07/03/2016 - 16:11

        Why do you ignore all the deals where prices don't change, or where prices actually dropped like the post below mentions?
        Classic case of confirmation bias?

        • compound on 07/03/2016 - 16:22

          Possibly. Not without possibility some shifty work on eBay's part to help move some stock for their own benefit due to commission. They are a business after all…

    • Prizm on 07/03/2016 - 17:15

      I was after a pro micro SD card, and noticed they were $20 more at these stores than the average price elsewhere.

  • Burnz316 on 07/03/2016 - 16:06

    I'm after a gopro from TGG. Price has actually dropped from $575 to $549… code still does not work at paypal tho.

  • pauliau on 07/03/2016 - 16:09
    +2

    So it seems if you create a new Paypal account and process the order as normal the discount is applied successfully. I can verify this works both via Paypal and bank account transactions.

    • alwaysblur on 07/03/2016 - 16:17

      Yes confirm this worked for me

    • tif1607 on 07/03/2016 - 16:19

      either credit card or bank account, as long as it's a new paypal account would work, do not change payment method while check out otherwise would go back to normal price again!!!

    • ghostdog73 on 07/03/2016 - 16:23

      Yep, I can confirm creating a new Paypal account works, did the same & bought an iPad from TGG.

  • choister on 07/03/2016 - 16:18

    Guys, the code worked for me at TGG for a new TV purchase (KDL65)

    Logged into CR, went to eBay, added TV to cart, applied coupon, logged into my PayPal (payment method was bank transfer though) and made the purchase!

    Easy!!

    • johnnyb on 07/03/2016 - 16:24

      I think the key there is the changing of payment method.

      • choister on 07/03/2016 - 16:29

        I actually didn't change my payment method but it was set to bank transfer as default.

        • Brink on 07/03/2016 - 16:36

          Nah. Soon as I log in it wipes the coupon with the dreaded X-TECH error.

        • johnnyb on 07/03/2016 - 16:57

          What I meant was changing the payment method may trigger the coupon being removed, so going straight through with the default may be the reason why it works for you. Though maybe not as Brink shows.

  • neonlight on 07/03/2016 - 16:27

    So where's the minimum spend on this? Did not see it under T&C. Is it like $200 or $100 again?

    • xception on 07/03/2016 - 16:30

      The total discount is capped at $1000 per transaction. Limit 3 transactions per person during the Offer Period.
      So I dont think there's a minimum spend :)
