Got excited then saw this: To make your checkout easier, we've grouped these items for you to purchase first. Damn.
you apply the coupon to whatever it is in your cart
Is it all in AUD? I had an item in USD and it separated it from the rest of my order. I think it's listed on ebay.com or something. I just chose something else, I was buying a bunch of items under ~$5.
Code not working anymore :(
5 mins…
Finally found something to get: 2x 100*60cm Canvas prints from dgcanvas (that have been/are on OzB before) for $92.50, as they have a current offer of buying a 2nd one for 50% off.
Not the best use of the deal as the original price came to over $100 and a single 100x60 is over the minimum too, but that separate 50% deal swung me to get a second anyway. Since it works out overall to ~$46 each for a 100x60cm Canvas, vs the already decent $59 BigW 100x50cm deal that shows up regularly.
Cheaper and bigger in a more friendly (for me anyway) aspect ratio. Win-Win.
Hope they are up to spec quality wise like prev comments seem to show.
Voucher not ready for use??
im getting error: Looks like this code isn't ready yet. Please try again later.
WTF
Looks like this code isn't ready yet. Please try again later.
what?
It's finished!
Looks like this code isn't ready yet. Please try again later.
finished 5mins early :(
I was checking out and it said code not working. Looks like they killed it early.
3mins but expired..:(
Damn it! Finally decided on what to buy with a few minutes to spare, code no longer works, WTF!!!
You have to be very quick, took me an hour to decide.
Getting an error. Not yet 10.59pm. Not happy….
Works for thousands of others but you still neg it. Boo hoo.
I think that the negative vote is valid. I rarely use the negative vote but in this instant it is warranted.
I had the items in my cart by 10.33pm. Applied the code but got a spinning wheel at payment and then payment timed out. Repeated 3 times. Then I get a message saying code is not ready. At 10.59pm that message changed to code expired.
Would appreciate it if you retracted your negative vote.
This is not an isolated incident as many others have posted similar experiences both above and below this comment. I am genuinely unhappy that I rushed to find appropriately priced items only to miss out as the eBay server could not cope.
Looks like the code expired a little early. It would be annoying, but I don't think it's reason to neg.
@aja12: haha then eBay should advertise as "expires anytime we see fits" so not many will upvote this deal to begin with then.
@aja12: yeah they should put item 18 first before item 2 in the T&Cs. I have never seen any T&Cs without "reserves the right to amend T&Cs" to be honest.
@aja12: The issue is Threefold. First the server could not cope with the payment and timed out and then the code error displayed. Then the code expired early. I wasted an hour of my life and I think it is a reason to neg.
Looks like this code isn't ready yet :'(
Ended early :(
OzBargained (once again) lol
Yeah, I think they killed it early I'm getting code not ready as well.
Fuuuuuu ebay. I'd finally found what I want and the coupon is no longer valid :(
not working at 22:56 :(
Funny thing is my Amex app has sent me a notification of the transaction!
Wow, it ended 2 minutes early. What the heck.
Bought Lego Dimensions starter pack from Target ebay store, after less is about $39.
Managed to squeeze one in 10:58 (after 10 or so fails) :) Keep trying !
Happy for you
Yet another lesson I learn the hard way. You never have quite as much time as you think; there are thousands of people just like you, who leave things til the very last minute, and then rush to get it in causing huge spikes in traffic :*(
On a different note, who came up with that error message? "The code is not ready to entered yet"
Oh. Ladida, the code is not ready to be entered yet. When will the precious code be ready to entered? After its finished putting on its makeup and doing its hair? :P
Yeah, that's what i got!
And that's exactly how i felt about it.
Email eBay & request a $20 voucher.
They might ask what you tried to order, even though they should have a record of all that.
Shut down early as had all my items in the basket noooooooo!!!
Ya, ended 10 mins early, not happy with Ebay!!
Looks like this code isn't ready yet. Please try again later. around 10:52pm WTF?!
I would like to say I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that got screwed at the last minute, but I'm not.
damn it.. expired early
Dammit, 10:28pm CST and the code ain't working. Didn't check the expiry time close enough.
Yeah got screwed last minute. Thanks eBay.
same with the others ^ tried to do it in last few mins but didnt work.
You saved AU $6.37 on this purchase
what?
no $20 off?
ebay bs as per usual…straight to onto customer service
Now it says it's expired, after being unusable for 5 minutes.
Yeah - i got that crap too - i was well within time and it wouldn't work.
Waste of my f'n time.
Ha!
Ha ha!
$20 eBay voucher.
Victory is mine!
disappointed they ended it a few minutes early…
WTF ended 1 minute early…
Class action lawsuit!!!!
loool
ah crap…
Yeah got screwed last minute. Thanks eBay.
same. :(
I placed my order at 10.54pm. I bought 3 items for $30.49 after the $20 discount. Money was deducted from credit card but only 1 item has gone through. The rest of the 2 items are still in my cart after my order went through (and money deducted)…..
ohh mann that happened to me before twice!.. first time it happened, eBay rep told me to repurchase the item left in cart and refunded me the difference. Wasn't too bad I was happy to do so. The second time it happened, I must have gotten a crap rep because he/she refused to give me the same treatment as before… i gave up on that. Good luck
Did you email them? In your second time, did they refund you the money that you had paid for the items left in cart? I checked my credit card, total amount for all 3 items has already been deducted from my card, but only 1 item was successfully ordered and I only received PayPal receipt for 1 item.
I am in the same situation, ordered 3 items, got money deducted from my credit card for 3 but only 1 item was confirmed with the invoice. The other 2 items are still in the shopping cart. May I ask how you are dealing with eBay on this? Thanks!
@ethann:
I gave them a call and was advised that the money that was deducted from my credit card will be refunded to me (minus the amount for the 1 item that has gone through) . They also asked me to reorder the two items that are still in the shopping cart. And then give them a call again after I repurchase. They will credit me $20. I asked if it is possible for eBay to reissue me a $20 voucher but they said they can't. What a pain….
Thanks for sharing! I contacted eBay just now and the rep told me that I have to raise this issue with the Marketing team. They may consider to give me a credit of $16 (as I got $4 off for the item I purchased successfully). However, eBay asked for the payment details, which I couldn't see in my PayPal account yet. Considered the time and effort spending for this issue, I doubt that it really worths $20 :(
Thank you! $130 Callaway golf shoes for $31 delivered
In the past they've sometimes honoured coupons they withdrew early when people complained on their live chat. But it will be pay $50+ and we'll refund $20 later if they do.
what a joke i applied and it gave me $0.44 discount?! WTF
it gave me $0.83 lol
Yup, ended early. Typical eBay BS.
eBay need to fix the clocks on their server :@
That's funny
eBay need to fix the clocks on their server :@
Why? The code expired at 10:59 as advertised but the code gave a different error for the previous 12 minutes so it has nothing to do with the time.
For me got the "this code has expired" message before the specified expiry time.
Good to know that it ended early and I wasn't too late, lesson learned!
Same with others I tried checking out aince 10:55pm AEST and it wouldn't accept the code…..so pissed now :(
Damn, I completely missed this deal. Would have been a great discount for a $50 game.
I had an item in my cart and the code was applied at 22:55. 22:56 I hit "buy" and a "problem with your payment" message comes up. Tried again and the code wouldn't work.Then I got an Amex iphone app notification of the purchase!!!??? No ebay confirmation so far
Update: had a quick chat session on eBay this morning and they sent me a $20 Paypal voucher!
Stupid eBay. Tried for 12 minutes to pay and originally was taking the code but then got a message that the code isn't ready.
Now showing expired.
Just another angry post :(
CDARKER
changed from $20 to 12%.
Thanks!

Estimated delivery: Wed, 15 Mar–Fri, 31 Mar

View order details.
You saved AU $6.37 on this purchase
anyone else get that?
They probably split the discount across multiple items ?
EDIT:
Looks like a got a partial order - don't know why though.
"This order was not successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount. The seller hasn't received payment for this order yet"
And looks like I got charged full price on Paypal :|
Oh well wait for Amazon to bring us some codes don't end early then.
What in the poo, why does this happen to me.
Damn I finally found a code that includes Target and missed it by a few minutes!
Of all the times I relax my bargain muscles!!
Oh well, at least saving My money this time
I was late in seeing this deal but managed to get an item that aest time buggers it up grrr.
But out of interest i wonder if i could have used this on two ebay accounts.
I have both ebay accounts linked to same paypal account but with different paypal email address.
I wonder if it would have worked on both just my luck the other item i had been watching had ended either sold or listing expired and was a few dollars short of the $50 spend.
I tried contacting seller if not sold to list for few dollars more so i qualified.
But being overseas he was not around to do it.
If it did work on my two accounts they guy would have had it sold and i may have got it much less.
Hopefully ebay does this again soon.
I got it to work on two Ebay accounts, tried using same PayPal account on both but refused to accept code the second time. Worked with seperate PayPal account. I think it was PayPal account linked
This is what I get for doing actual work this evening instead of scouring ozb.
I hope you've learned your lesson!
Discounted on checkout page but got charged full amount :(
I got "The code is not ready to be entered yet" at 22:49, 10 minutes before the code expired. Sent an email to eBay to complain as I really wanted the new Zelda. How could eBay do this?
I have a hunch that the next eBay after dark promotion code will be CDARKEST right before Amazon AU starts trading.
Ozbargain needs an alert monitoring system.
e.g. If _____ retailer has sale greater than ___%, email/SMS me at _________
So a typical customer profile might look like this
If retailer keyword "EBAY" has sale greater than 10%, email me at [email protected]
If retailer keyword "harveynorman" has sale, email me at [email protected]
If item keyword: "GTX 1080" has sale greater than 10%, email me at [email protected]
Even if they charged $5/year, I reckon lots of people would join.
$5/year x 10,000 people = $50,000/year.
haha, that's a great idea. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Pay? Haha.
Check playstore if you use Android there are free ozbargain apps that do that.
exactly same here D:
so I paid on eBay on my phone and paypal went through straightaway I didn't get a chance to enter the code. anyone had same problem??
So you didn't enter the code at checkout, how is that a problem ?
the problem is there is no opportunity to enter the code at checkout. I asked if anyone had the same problem. you don't. So why do you even bother typing a comment if it is of no help.
lol you said "plus"
