Will 'PENNY5' eBay Discount Code Work on a Used Item?

smarti77 on 04/09/2018 - 11:32

I am looking at buying an expensive second hand camera (>$1000) on eBay (auction). When I look at used items it constantly displays "Pay as little as AU$**** show me how" (linking to PENNY5 code). The terms and conditions of that code clearly state that it can only be used on brand new items.

The fact that I can see the 'Pay as little as' message when I look at used items makes me think the code should still work (despite contradicting the terms and conditions).

Has anyone managed to save 5% by using PENNY5 on a used item purchase??

    There's usually a step to input the code before confirming you want to purchase. Try it and see.

      How do I do that when it is an auction?
      If the code isn't going to work then I'm not willing to bid as much.

        Ah. You might have to just contact eBay then.

    It'll work. Ebay systems don't differentiate between BIN/auction unless it's a different currency.

      The bigger concern for me is whether it differentiates better new and used items?
      The difference will save or cost me about $100

    I can confirm it does. I used it on a set of used wheels last week and got the 5% discount.

      You are the hero I've been searching for. Thank you.

      Wow this is great.

      Damn I should use ebay maybe more often now when these discount deals come on..

      I have usually reverted to gumtree for anything used which is most items besides maybe printer ink and some pc hardware, namely storage.

    It will work up to three times. I have already used my allocation. :(

    If you are looking at other items, best to wait to pay until you have accumulated a few items then you can apply to all the items won by making a single payment for everything. (Provided the other sellers are willing to wait).
