During Happy Hour, use your mobile to buy an item on eBay.com.au and also pay for it with PayPal, and you'll receive 50% off the purchase price, including shipping cost, up to a maximum refund of $50.

Be among the first 5,000 to register between 12 noon Wednesday 22nd and 12 noon Thursday 23rd September AEST. Also, make sure you have both a PayPal email address and an eBay User ID. And if you miss out on Mobile Happy Hour you'll still go in the draw to win one of five $1,000 prizes* to be paid to your PayPal account.

    didn't get any message that i had registered so I tried again and it said only one allowed so I guess I'm registered!

  • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2010 - 12:06

    Got it for my eBay account, and for my mum's eBay account too. Woot! :)

  • bNiNja on 22/09/2010 - 12:07

    After a few attempts, it went through on 12:04.

    Yay!

    Managed to register and get accepted my two PayPal accounts!!!!

  • kerfuffle on 22/09/2010 - 12:07

    Got in as well! Yay!

    Now, what to buy - new earphones or a new laptop battery …

  • unco on 22/09/2010 - 12:07

    Got it! Finally!

  • shiny1 on 22/09/2010 - 12:07

    Just wait for it. If it doesn't work, click back and try again. Worked for me after a few tries. I hate that you have to pay for it on Friday at 12pm-1pm. I'm busy at that time.
    Also, it says buy it from ebay.com.au, but I'm sure you could buy from international sellers, right?

    • blaze on 22/09/2010 - 12:08

      im assuming/hoping you can

  • furythree on 22/09/2010 - 12:07

    so what confirmation do we get besides that page? i dont want to go buying an $100 item if it ends up being not valid

      Email confirmation. Just received mine :D

      • leonheart1 on 22/09/2010 - 20:54

        I didn't get any confirmation but I know I got it because
        1) I got the 'Congratulations' message
        2) when I try to register again, it doesn't let me.

  • kokomo1978 on 22/09/2010 - 12:08

    Just keep trying people - it'll work eventually!

  • beralj on 22/09/2010 - 12:08

      stupid error and before that the redirect to the same page.

      If you win that $1,000, you'll be wanting to revoke that neg.

      • abc on 22/09/2010 - 12:13

        haha true that

        • stumo on 22/09/2010 - 13:03
          -1

          I support the neg (I got in btw)

          The page redirected for a good 2 minutes+ before it started working properly. Then there were browser issues etc. It wasn't as smooth a process as it should have been, and there are still 2 more steps before we even get our $50 on the 15th Oct.

          I'm reserving judgement till I have the $50 in my PayPal account, till then I trust PayBay about as far as I can throw them.

  • Josh81 on 22/09/2010 - 12:09

    Got it. And a second one for my mum.

    Let my brother know too, not sure if he got on it.

    :)

    Edit: Racking up the negs! neggy neggy neggy neggy, neggy! Seriously, i did it on behalf of my mum, bitter people.
    Can't beleive i got in at all, i often miss out, like COTD style.

  • ESEMCE on 22/09/2010 - 12:09

    Looks like they're all gone..
    Took me 17 attempts to get through just to find I was "unsuccessful"

    Rather reminiscent of Catch of the Day events…
    The server couldn't handle the load or there was an error of some sort on the page.

    • chansthename on 22/09/2010 - 12:15

      definitely reminds me of CoTD, server crashes and spend ages refreshing to finally find out the item was sold out.

  • Tartar on 22/09/2010 - 12:09

    missed it…

  • shawn_low on 22/09/2010 - 12:09

    its over. registrations are full. I tried to click that damn registration button about 100 times without success… stupid damn site.

  • SuBw00FeR on 22/09/2010 - 12:09

    Wow, can't believe this, I just purchased $200 headphones off ebay last night. ._.

    • JudasX on 22/09/2010 - 12:11

      it only applies for items upto $100…

      • Josh81 on 22/09/2010 - 12:14
        +5

        No it doesn't. It's for items of any value. It's just that you can only get 50% off up until $100, ie: $50 is the max cash back.

      • cj88 on 22/09/2010 - 12:14

        Nope. Limit on refund is %50 though.

        • infernal_max on 22/09/2010 - 14:23

          Your not that smart are you? Lol

      • kheob on 22/09/2010 - 12:16

        No. The refund is $50 maximum but you can purchase items above $100. You will still only get a $50 refund.

  • chylld on 22/09/2010 - 12:10

    Woohoo! Just booked my spot :)

    Quite a few dramas though. First the link to register didn't go anywhere. Then it went to a form but filling out the form resulted in a server error. Then a 404. Then a server error again. Then a confirmation page which led to another server error. Finally it got throug though!

  • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2010 - 12:10

    Sorry, you haven't been accepted into Happy Hour, but the good news is that you've automatically gone into the draw to win one of five $1,000 prizes to be paid…

  • WaywardOne on 22/09/2010 - 12:10

    The thing is; I've missed out on concert tickets with less demand (and more tickets) than this.
    Flabergasted that I got in!

    SORRY

    Our records show that you have already entered into this promotion. Only one entry per person is allowed.

    I also saved a copy of the Congratulations page.

    I haven't got time to mod right now; I or one of the other mods will be along later.

    • chansthename on 22/09/2010 - 12:20

      yeah I did that and now it gives me that message, although the last two times I did it it said I missed out (I had the syntax error) then on another try it didn't give me anything and took me back to the register page.

    • kokomo1978 on 22/09/2010 - 12:34

      I'm in WA, it was telling me it still had 2 hours & 2 mins to go (due to clock on my PC.) I waited it out though, and finally got through and got registered. It did clearly state AEST, despite the stupid clock on their site.
