    Only if you get, answer and accept the voucher from the phone call.
    I thought this was posted before and unpublished??

      Actually is this different to the call? I was told I only had 7 days to use it. This seems longer.

        Try opening the link in an incognito window.

    • Azmunga on 04/10/2017 - 09:51

      I can get it to show up on a clean install of Chrome I have, but not Firefox that I regularly use (and has a bunch of add-ons and adblocker and whatnot) regardless of what I try.

      Not motivated enough to investigate any further than that.

      • King Tightarse on 04/10/2017 - 10:01

        What are you seeing when it does show? A dedicated page mentioning the offer?

      • samelight on 04/10/2017 - 11:40

        just open the "firefox private browsing"

        • ggrant on 04/10/2017 - 14:49

    • Scab on 04/10/2017 - 11:19

      They could use your PayPal account but I would assume that your PayPal account cannot have any eBay purchases in the last 12 months to be eligible.

      This is loyalty. By creating a busier site, everybody benefits. Sellers get more sales and buyers get a better experience.

      I agree, been an active eBay user and get nothing. Deactivate your account and then you will be flooded with offers.
      I'm planning to set up a new eBay account now.

    • Savas on 04/10/2017 - 10:47

      Interested to know this, from last time it didn't work. It would be good to know the minimum age for a "new account" or whether you have to have this promotion emailed.

  • therichardsons on 04/10/2017 - 10:34

    Try using Brave Browser, then opening a private tab, pasting the link from above. Worked several times for different addresses. (You need to close the browser each time)

  • pistachio1 on 04/10/2017 - 10:44

    So sick of missing out on stuff because I'm a loyal customer. Spent heaps on eBay this year as well as woolies and coles and Always get JACK SH*T from these deals. Boooo….. but ill still + it.

    • Scab on 04/10/2017 - 11:21

      Like most companies it pays to have more than one account, they'll usually target the inactive ones.

      Same with loyalty programs like FlyBuys and Rewards, have more than one.

      • b-radicool on 04/10/2017 - 18:27

        Serious question - does this mean we need to have an alternative Paypal account too?

    I started private browsing and entered what was in TA's screen shot in the URL (also in the OP).

    https://welcome.ebay.com.au/whyebay

    Manually copy and pasted it (not clicking the link). I then got the fields to enter your email for the $20 promo!

    can someone confirm if you need a paypal account that hasn't shown an ebay purchase within the last 12 months as well?

    • tryagain on 04/10/2017 - 11:57

      Don't think anyone will be able to tell you yet as there is a wait to get the email confirmation.

    • hmac on 20/10/2017 - 22:31

      you don't need paypal at all

    Your eBay account has been suspended :( Got this after submitting request.

    • King Tightarse on 04/10/2017 - 15:21

      Are you serious?
      Sheesh, I just but my eBay emails in just in case it worked.
      Tell us more - what happened? Did they email you? You couldn't log in? Have you had a few breaches before and that was the last time?

    • HangryCakeStore on 04/10/2017 - 15:24

      multiple accounts? I guess they really going tough on this voucher give-away

      • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2017 - 15:27
        +5

        I am dead serious haha my account actually got banned @King Tightarse, and no this was an account I made months ago because I was getting annoyed that I kept missing out on targeted offers.

        Your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm — however unintentionally — to the eBay Community.

        You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account.

        Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

        Thanks,

        eBay

          God they take themselves seriously, don't they?
          I would try calling them up and just explaining that you saw the code on a bargain site and thought it was OK for anyone to use. If it doesn't work you can just give them an extra big middle finger when Amazon arrives. I know I will the second a better deal comes along.
          They have ripped me off so much over the years they can suck a big one.
          Only thing i can think is that you had multiple accounts and entered the code one after another while on the same IP address - if that happened, that's probably is what got you noticed.

        • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2017 - 16:01

          @King Tightarse: I was pretty careful, my main account is pretty active so I didn't even both trying with that, I applied for the voucher with a separate IP I normally use for my main account. I'm not too fussed about my throw away account being banned considering Amazon is arriving soon haha :) Thanks for the tips though.

        • Libby123 on 04/10/2017 - 16:02

          @King Tightarse:
          I'm getting nervous does it mean everyone who used the link on a secondary account might be getting banned on all accounts its unfair if thats the case especially because this deal was posted here, if someone did it multiple times thats understandable because thats unfair but its normal to have more than one ebay per household if there are several people using it.

        • Libby123 on 04/10/2017 - 16:03

          @freebies8: was ur main account banned to or just your throw away account

        • King Tightarse on 04/10/2017 - 16:11

          @freebies8:
          I have read more than once that they can follow people around and ban their other accounts too. Phone call might be a good idea? You hardly did anything wrong - cant believe they didn't just email you and say 'no voucher". I am pretty sure their main tool is ip/account association BTW
          Good luck, freebies8!

        • outlander on 05/10/2017 - 19:52

          @freebies8:

          I applied for the voucher with a separate IP

          Really? How do you reckon they got you then?

        • ggrant on 13/10/2017 - 23:31

          It doesn't sound genuine to me. Report it as fraud to Ebay. You might be surprised.
          Try logging in again on the same IP if you were only notified by a (spoofed?) email.

          Else -
          Did you use a VPN? That might be the reason their auto ban was triggered.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2017 - 18:41

          @outlander: Not too sure tbh, the account I applied for the voucher with was an account a made months ago in order to receive targeted deals, It may've been banned because I created the account on the same ip as my main account however I ensured that I applied for the voucher with a separate IP. My main account didn't get banned because I didn't even bother applying for the voucher with it as it is fairly active. I didn't use a VPN either.

        • Hypebeast twice stan on 14/10/2017 - 19:09

    24 hours passed, still nothing happened. I guess it might be the issue of my email inbox. So I registered a new account and tried it again. after a few hours, the new account received an email from customerhelp.ebay and told me this account is now suspended (same thing happened to Freebies8 above).

  • King Tightarse on 06/10/2017 - 09:00

    48 hours, still no voucher wonder what eBay is doing?
    Did anyone receive it yet?

    • tomsco on 06/10/2017 - 09:18

      Not on my wife's account (1 year old, no purchases).

      • King Tightarse on 06/10/2017 - 09:21

        I wondered it that was just co-incidental timing? Sometimes eBay send out codes to underused accounts as part of their normal operations. Especially seeing as nobody else has reported receiving theirs.

          Nope. Not co-incidental at all. I don't have the text on me right now, but the email referenced this promo.

      Same here. In my defense, the account is actually in my wife's name… a person that actually exists.

      And as much as I'd love $20 off, I don't think it would be worth it getting my wife to call to request it.

      At least I got the recent YIPPEE voucher to her account.

    • demiurge on 21/10/2017 - 15:31
