Another one of these non Aussie sitewide ebay deals.

Remember to navigate to Account > Personal Information > Registered name, address and phone number to access and setup the region if using an existing account
https://settings3.ebay.com.au/editRegistration

Given the frequency of these it's probably more prudent to have dedicated alternate US and UK accounts setup at this point however.
Also keep in mind that those discount ebay vouchers from the other day are only valid on ebay australia and won't be usable on ebay.com as far as I know, possibly making this deal of limited value to some.

For clarity as to how you can take advantage of this deal since some are asking or confused;

  • Find an item you want on ebay.com.au
  • remove .au from URL, add to cart, checkout, apply code, pay with paypal in AUD.
  • You have effectively applied a 15% discount against ebay.com.au

(Thanks battler)

Some terms and conditions

  • Eligible items exclude warranties and protection plans, as well as items from the Coins & Paper Money, Gift Cards & Coupons, and Real Estate categories.
  • Minimum Spend 25USD (~35AUD) and eligible to a maximum discount of $100USD (~137AUD)
  • Code must be used within a single transaction (and can include multiple eligible items), Max one redemption per user.

==============

UPDATE FRIDAY 28th (RE: "We ran into a problem, please try again later")

Many of us are reporting success when making a brand new US account as of today and/or using incognito mode.

    • systmworks on 27/09/2018 - 12:14

      So it's still 15% off as long as the item(s) are worth less than US$667 or ~AU$920 ?

    • ilikeit on 27/09/2018 - 16:07

      Check out Global Rakuten. Ebates currently has 15% off next day cashback (not 60 days like CR and Shopback). They might have your item with a higher threshold.

  • systmworks on 27/09/2018 - 07:19

    Do you need to set your primary address to a US address?

    But also set up a secondary address (your real AU address) for sellers to ship to ?

    • ruttager on 28/09/2018 - 10:29

      Safest to set it up with a US address, then add a new address on checkout to ship to. In my case it did not allow me to checkout with the US address and allowed me to create a new AU address to ship to as part of the payment process.

      No, why would eBay want to ban a customer.

      *Having a US IP will probably make this more successful

      Make a new account on ebay.com (ie. not .com.au ) using your existing details, payment and phone except use a real US address - I think a hotel is a good choice.

      Then add your Australian address as a "shipping address" (leaving US address as primary).

      Congratulations, you went to the USA for a short holiday.

      Then find what you want to buy on ebay.com.au (without being logged in or use another browser) and paste that into the ebay.com windows while logged into ebay US.

    • alexGoodwin on 27/09/2018 - 12:56

    For anyone with a seperate US account (to get around having to change regional settings all the time) - Do you have the same PayPal account linked that you use for ebay AU?

    • hihi on 27/09/2018 - 08:35

      yes the same paypal account but if you use more than 1 transaction, paypal might block your account which you can call them to unblock it

    • ilikeit on 27/09/2018 - 08:38

      Just to be sure, I have two separate ebay and Paypal accounts.

      • turtlesinmypants on 27/09/2018 - 12:41

        Do you have separate cards linked to each paypal? I tried to have 2 paypals a while back and it groaned about sharing the same credit card across accounts.

        • ilikeit on 27/09/2018 - 16:00
          +3

          Yes. Each ebay account has a different email address and different CC linked. Occassionally, I use the US ebay account to make small purchases to make it look legit, garner feedback and avoid any fraud or ban notices. Gotta play the ebay game, but it's not worth getting on the ebay carousel and hopping between locations - to me that's fraught with danger.

  • CyberMurning on 27/09/2018 - 08:36

      Yes. All the time. Also on ebay .au. Something to do with their GST collection system being broken, doesn't like the item you are buying and just fails. And they aren't interested in fixing it and are happy to lose yet another cart full of purchases! (I'm on a dedicated US registered account that has worked correctly in the past, prior to this financial year.)
