    To save people the trouble of trying, it doesn't work when combined with the BUY2DAY $10 off Groupon voucher for new customers. They've made the mistake of allowing it in the past, and then quickly remove it. This time, they got it right from the get go :(

    This is a good deal but not as good as it sounds:

    • You can't stack this with cashback.
    • You can't stack this with coupons.
    • You are limited to $100, if you to make a more the discount is smaller.
    • easternculture on 15/09/2016 - 16:41
      +18

      and if you have a dispute with the seller, the coupon is not refundable meaning you loose the $100

          I had a few friends who bought some items from china that turned out to be fake and lost their money via last times groupon ebay deal

          Even say you buy something from an aussie retailer and later you decide to return it for a refund, you still loose the value of the $100 ebay voucher

          This is how ebay is cashing on this deal

          And then there is the issue that you have to spend the voucher in one go, and this way ebay is forcing buyers to spend at least $100

          I have bought few vouchers from groupon before,have few items faulty and seller issued full refund then it show that the credit is from the groupon voucher.

          Then what you have to do it to talk to ebay and ebay will credit you the amount in full not 85% of it. Therefore I am making a 15% profit.

          @easternculture: It is quite common for these group deal websites to charge up to 50%, which when combined with the discount on offer makes the deals unaffordable for smaller businesses. That being said, I'm sure eBay's commission to Groupon is a lot lower than that. I would be surprised if they are paying more than 10%.

        This is the clincher that breaks the deal. Having no way to get a refund on eBay using this voucher makes it a gamble at best.

          Just use it to buy stuff from a local reputable retailer. I just use these for 15% off Dan Murphy's, when they have beer i want. It is pretty sparse though what they have c&c on eBay vs their website for the same item.

      You buy from an Aussie retailer .. later they claim its Out of stock or a price error
      You buy from an Aussie retailer .. then you decide to return it because your other half did not want or like it
      You buy from a regular ebayer and item is not as described or dead on arrival

    Here's an excerpt from last time I used an eBay voucher and has issues:

    To tell you honestly, we no longer issue credit vouchers as per the new memorandum. What we can do is to credit you the difference for the next purchase you will make.

    This process means that you need to buy another item and pay for the full price then we'll refund you the voucher equivalent. I apologise that the cancelled transaction is causing you all these hassles. I understand that it's not your fault why the transaction got cancelled and I'm here to let you know that we're much willing to process the credit request for you.

    We just need you to inform us about the item number of your purchase so we can escalate the request to the Marketing Team. Once submitted, it will take 10-15 business days for processing time before the refund will show on your Paypal account.

    This was for an Amaysim $25 voucher and the seller turned out to be pretty much fraudulent, so your mileage may vary.

      Even it was not expired, you cannot reuse the voucher. So it's gone. You just simply cannot get a refund with using voucher.

  • whichtyler on 15/09/2016 - 21:21

    The terms here amount to denial of a refund and are almost certainly a breach of the Australian Consumer Law.

    • Charity on 16/09/2016 - 04:28

      Agreed, it should be… but… gift cards (essentially what this is) are often not legally treated like other forms of payment. A shady grey area, because it isn't necessarily considered payment. The Dick Smith gift card saga comes to mind (☺). With gift cards, you are buying from giving the issuer unsecured credit - governed by their terms. Think Telstra $ not real $. This is why it is also OK for the cards to expire with no recourse. It's dirty. It's confusing. It's made with deception in mind. Madness for the consumer, but still currently legal.

  • abetastic on 15/09/2016 - 21:47

    For all people want to buy this deal,

    I bought this deal twice before, first time is no problem, transaction done smootly, so i buy again and my nightmare start!

    On my second purchase,when i make my payment tho the voucher, ebay system error, capture my vocuher code but havent make the payment, keep saying "exceed the time to using it", i contact groupon, they pass the ball to ebay, and i contact paypal, paypal said contact ebay.

    Then i contacted ebay, first time they said no problem, the voucher will take 10 to 12 days reissue it. I waiy around 10 days, they reply said the request is declied! Said i already use the voucher on my first purchase! I told them the onfo is incorrect, the voucher code is diff, then they take 10 more days investigate it, 10 days later, it said i already use the voucher, i told them i pay for myself and havent use the voucher! They just keep get the wrong info and everytime take 10 days. I also contacted groupon at the same time, i start communicate on both parties since july until now they argue the voucher is expiry (expiry at Aug) so they cant get refund!

    Now still communicate to groupon and ebay. Still havnet get my money back. Groupon offer credit refund last week, and said need my confirmation, after i reply accept the offer they reply email back they said i need to contacted ebay! What?

    I got all the conversation and email .

    Not as good as it sounds - saves $15 but with tremendous hassle and lots of limitation

  • Tihkal on 18/09/2016 - 13:01
    • eBay Voucher Code is valid for use in a single transaction only
      • Limit 1 transaction per voucher. Multiple items can be purchased in one transaction (up to a maximum of 10 items per transaction).

    I know people are saying you can't use 2 vouchers in one single $200 transaction, but it doesn't explicitly state this if I'm not mistaken. It only says a maximum of 1 transaction per voucher not maximum of 1 voucher per transaction. Am I missing something?

    I have a $150 and $56 dollar item I've been eyeing off that don't go on sale and this would be a reasonable saving for me.

    • Domingo on 19/09/2016 - 08:58

      I believe this is a limitation of eBay, not the voucher. You can only use one voucher/coupon on a single transaction on the ebay checkout platform. Putting in a second voucher overwrites the first one.

Has anyone else experienced this? @5fabelly has mentioned that this is not straight forward as it should be, but was already bought it when read 5fabelly's comments.
    As in line with 5fabelly's comment, when contacted eBay the response is to contact Groupon. When contacted Groupon, their support drop the bomb that the voucher already had been used. And now they'd escalated it to their Resolution team for further investigation and it would take 7 days to get back on this. What a pain…

        Oh, that ain't good. I received a notification from Groupon saying that they are still working on this. Wonder how long it gonna take. Personally, I feel that this is too much of a nuisance in order to save around $15, which we may end up buying unnecessary/ not required goods. Further this coupon has a restriction that you got ensure that the total items in your card is less 10 items.
        Hope that you have raised the issue with Groupon and do update on the outcome. Good Luck!
