    To speed up the PayPal 'unblock' process, make sure you dial 1800 073 263 from your linked mobile number and press:

    option 1, enter 4 digit pin, option 2, option 1, option 4

    • +1

      these options don't seem to work, ends up with sending you a password reset code, maybe i did it wrong

      • +1

        Did it recognise your account based on the number you called from and the pin provided (steps 1 and 2)? If so, the subsequent steps I listed should work for everyone.

        • I think it may be because i'm not being asked to select option 1 before 4 digit pin is asked for

    • theres no option 4 - only 2 options after hittin option 1

  • I tried a bunch of things(paypal account limited) but just then i got it to work by adding giftcards from officeworks in the same transaction

    EDIT: Officeworks went through but ebay ones didnt!

  • +1

    Surprised PayPal hasn’t re-stocked the larger value cards.

  • Iam not a smart man…grabbed 2x$200 ebay gift cards with a nintendo switch in mind…should have grabbed $500 for the bigger discount. ohwell.

  • +1

    Had paypal issues on the desktop browser.

    But worked like a charm using ebay app!
    Those with paypal issues, try using the app, worked for me!

    • Make sure to change country to UK in the app as well (under Settings).

  • I thought I would give it one more go, so I called PayPal. They said it's the Seller who is stopping the transaction and not Ebay/PayPal. So I give up, They won!

    • I'm at the point of giving up also, called PayPal a second time was told my account is blocking it due to too high a risk and not all accounts will work with an unlock code or whatever everyone else is talking about here.. i stayed on the phone for fifteen minutes trying to get a different result but no luck.

    • +2

      Ironic, because the ebay seller IS paypal!

  • +2

    Not all accounts can be verified with the security pin method (hence why the agent can't do anything more), you're just lumped in the high-risk bucket (even if you had cash deposited in your PP balance) and the account is SOL (go figure as to how they categorize them).

  • +3

    ok guys, try this, was using pc, now switch to mobile app and use 4G instead of wireless (make sure not same network), works! paid with PayPal, maybe device mac address/wireless/what so ever has been blacklisted on their server.

  • Still working perfectly just spent 2 x $500 gift cards

    • From where?

  • +2

    So after buying $500 initially without the discount code… I just bought another $500 with it this time. Yay!

  • +3

    For all the people skipping straight to this page, I have just had success, after 3 banned accounts.

    • Incognito tab
    • Sign up using UK phone and Phone (https://www.ukphonebook.com)
    • Go to top left, click your name, then account settings. Go to addresses. Enter in new delivery address (leave original address alone.) Make the new delivery address your aussie one, make it primary, use a fake mobile number
    • Add the cards to your basket and go to check out
    • Click paypal, sign in, it then asked me to verify, I clicked verify and it sent me a text and confirmed my identity
    • Paste in the discount code and apply the code - you should see the discount applied.
    • Complete the payment

    This worked no worries for me for $500 of eBay cards.

    Thanks OP

    • Using existing Paypal account or new Paypal account?

      • Existing account already linked to my Aussie Ebay

      • Just make a new one while you are using the Ebay app on UK region

    • Did your banned accounts not have the gift cards go through? There's been mixed feedback on that in the comments. I had two accounts banned but the payments still went through as per my comment here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/484845?page=14#comment-775…

      • Everything looked like it was going to work, but it didn’t. No payment came out anywhere from any of the suspended accounts. Doing the above worked fine (for me that is). It really does appear to be different for each persons setup

        • Thanks for the response on this one, money came out in my case so I think it should be ok. I won't put it through again in case it processes twice.

          • @dann: DId you end up getting a refund or the GC come through?

            • @Monaco83: @sluu83 they ended up coming through.

    • +1

      I have been trying this for four hours and this worked. You Sir/Mam are my person of the year. Thank you so so so much. legend!

  • +1

    Used phone app and had to call PayPal to lift whatever the restriction was as I was getting the "Something went wrong…" error when processing payment. Code wouldn't work on desktop for some reason.

    Got it processed while on the call and it successfully went through.

    • Yeah, I just went through this and it all went through fine after the verification code.

      Bought the $750 worth of cards over 2 transactions for about $615

  • Dam…all the $50 gift cards are out and its not really worth doing $25 ones… i wonder if there is anymore or should i get more ebay gift cards? can i use ebay gift cards to purchase other gift cards on ebay?

  • -1

    Can someone please post the link to $200 eBay gift card denominations?? Please help I can only see $25 maximum

  • I have tried multiple option,

    then at the end by using incognito I was able to use my visa card to make the payment.

    Thanks. Your order was placed.
    We received your order and are processing your payment.
    View order details
    You saved AU $92.28 on this purchase with vouchers.

    I am not sure if I will be able to get it or they will cancel it :(

    Guys any suggestion?

    Never mind I got the email saying this.

    Sorry, your recent payment for the item(s) below did not go through.
    Please return to eBay to send your payment again.

    I am always shit at this ebay things (V_V)

    • I wish you good luck…

      • No luck at all (V_V)

  • Anyone else getting this error ?

    The item you've selected wasn't added to your basket.

    I was able to buy giftcards yesterday on the same account.

    Is this a single use code ?

    edit: Found the issue. The seller only allows buyers to purchase 5 items every 10 days.

  • For those like me who can't get the eBay cards from the paypal-digital-gifts store to work, the $50 eftpos cards from officeworks do work for a measly 6.5% saving.

    Hi All,

    I am trying to purchase gift card from yesterday, i am able to apply the discount code successfully. But problem is i am not able to make the payment.
    Tried Paypal multiple times but it greyed out after 2 attempts, called paypal care multiple times , they always says your account is at high risk, we cant do anything for you, check with seller.
    Tried credit/ debit card options but it did not work.

    Any suggestion please??

    • +3

      Are you from PayPal or eBay?

    • +1

      Same as the problem I had. I couldn't solve it. I think one reason may be past purchases from the same seller. You can still buy from other sellers with discount.

    • Happened to me yesterday and even this morning but I logged in my PayPal account using PC and after entered my pass asked to verify my account and after verified my account by SMS finally my order was placed and after few minutes I received my gift cards

  • Paypal is getting paranoid now, I got a security challenge just for viewing my code, and eBay gift card balance checker is not working.

  • Dam… mine stoped working

  • Alright, after about half an hour of trying to get this deal to work I've managed to make the order through Paypal. 2x $50 Netflix cards and 2 x $200 ebay cards.

    I ran into both issues of the coupon not working, and Paypal giving me grief. Here is what I did.

    Coupon not working:
    My checkout cart had switched to ebay.com.au, so change the domain to co.uk in the address bar.
    Make sure your REGISTRATION address is the UK one, and add your Australian address as a Postal Address and the Primary. (different section)

    Paypal grief:
    At first I had to verify my account by receiving texts with codes and entering them multiple times. Every time it would say verify and reload the checkout page, I would have to verify again? I tried going in and out of the checkout page to no avail. Then , on a 3rd go, the Paypal option was greyed out saying there were difficulties.
    What you do: Open google chrome incognito tab and go right through the process of logging into ebay.uk , checking out, logging into paypal again, entering coupon code and wah-la. All good to go!

    • Did you get the cards sent through to you? My order had been pending for an hour…

      • +1

        Yes I did, virtually instantaneous.

        Haha, pun not intended.

    • Same here, worked once. Then no go when trying to purchase more.

      -edit: registered a new ebay.co.uk account and it worked with my existing paypal account.

  • +1

    Thanks OP, just bought 1x$100 and 2x$200 in two batches (one batch per new account) and it worked great with the discount code. I used the same paypal linked to my aussie ebay account for all purchases too if that helps anyone.

  • Once in a lifetime opportunity. Is this the most liked post ever on OzBargain? Thanks OP

    • +1

      I just can't control myself from buying more wish gift cards. Bought 5 lots of $250 already and feel like buying more. This is like free money

  • So to confirm they can only do one security check reset for your account within 24-48 hours. So buy as many as you can in one go. i stopped to check accounts to confirm things then tried again and asked me for id check and it bugged out.

  • Not sure why, but when you put in an item number in Ebay.co.uk it says it cannot be found. Maybe they've caught onto it..

  • No luck last night but this morning got one step further using cc (PayPal wouldn't work).

    "We received your order and are processing your payment." Purchase history says "Payment being processed", then a bit later got an email saying "Sorry, your recent payment for the item(s) below did not go through. Please return to eBay to send your payment again." Purchase history changed to "This order wasn't successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount", and it got moved under Returned & Cancelled Orders.

    Repeated with same result. Tried adding ebayUK email address to PP but still couldn't complete the payment that way.

    Failed a third time with cc. Haven't decided whether to bother calling PP.

  • webjet gift cards worth it for flights? I better off go to airline sites direct?

    On a side note, thinking to go Japan next year, 2 adults plus a baby. Has 300k point in citibank rewards. What is the best I can do with this?

  • For those who have are having PayPal issues - the following one of the two tricks worked for me:

    a) Add everything to cart using desktop browser and then use ebay mobile app to checkout
    b) Call PayPal and ask for a supervisor and request they stay on line to override while you checkout - they will initially say that they can't help etc but request a couple of times politely and they will help.

    Hope this helps

    • Thanks to let me know that the human can actually override the machine on security.

      I was always told the PayPal security was controlled by machine brain and can't be override abbsolutely, in the last 8 years.

  • Use Australia Credit Card: You can not use discount voucher.

    Use PayPal already paid in one order:
    Keeps saying lets verify your PayPal account.

    Use Dad's PayPal account, allowed to use, but voucher code doesn't work anymore :
    Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again.

    • i had the same issue and verification didn't work no matter how many times i tried inputting the SMS code. I called paypal directly and it was sorted instantly.

  • -2

    Got $500 worth cancelled and Ebay account suspended what the hell is going on? I guess they don’t want my business/money hence I will take it else where. They loss not mine!

    • +12

      nah, pretty sure its your loss

      • ya agreed, eBay surely lost money on this, this is not the proper way to get the discount gift card, very bad, but I bought $500 as well, i'm bad too

      • -4

        Ebay lost customer if not many more when I start spreading word around how Ebay experience was so bad. Social media and posting reviews is the best medium to deter people from certain businesses.

        • 1116 +ve
          4 -ve

          pretty sure your 'bad experience' will be outweighed slightly

        • I hope you're honest about it when you spread the word:
          "Hey Everyone, the ebay.uk system had a glitch and I wanted to break the rules and make an ebay.uk account (even though I don't live in the UK), to take advantage of the glitch and gain a financial advantage… My dodgy dealings didn't work out for me so EVERYONE should boycott ebay!, the bastards!"

    • Have you used this ebay.uk account before used a new one?

      • Used a new one also.

  • +1

    I tried hundreds of things but no joy at all. Tried with few UK friends ebay, paypal , creditcard, incognito mode, UK address, Aus postal address etc etc.

    good luck to whoever is able to buy it.

    One same note, if someone want to sell their gift card to me at 10% off please contact me sandysomu at gmail dot com.

    • Even you do every steps right, there's a chance some other unnoticed aspects/facts affect whether it will work for you or note.

      Last deal I placed 3 orders in 3 accounts with no problem. Use the same account this time and it always saying

      Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again.

      • Did u add $250 worth gc?

    • Awesome effort !

  • -7

    Bloody confusing post as you put $A off for $GBP purchase. According to the term and condition, the deal is only 10% off.

    • +3

      It seems to be a glitch at their end which has confused $A and $GBP, it should be 50 GBP off a 500 GBP spend, but it has ended up as 50 pound (A$92) off a A$500 spend .. You have to expect some confusion considering it seems to be an error in their system…

    • +1

      The title is AUD off AUD, not AUD off GBP. The terms are incorrect for Australian users. Can't see how it's confusing considering the title is accurate.

  • +2

    Anyone ran into this problem? Tried to logged into paypal account:

    We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option. Also it did not allow me to put in the discount code……

  • I’m trying to check out on the mobile app and when I log into PayPal it takes me back to my cart and asks for payment method again.

    Anyone else having this issue?

    • Many many people are having this issue, read above :)

  • Im just curious as i left buying the woolworths egift cards and missed the higher cards,i tried to find if there was a limited on how many egift cards you can use to pay for shopping in one go.

    • there is no limit as such - they allow you to split payments. If you have say payment to be split across 10 cards, suggest using self serve checkout to avoid getting looks from other people :)

    • +1

      I'm not sure about Woolworth shopping gift card limit, but I've read that ebay transactions are 8 gift cards maximum.

    • +1

      Can confirm there’s no limit of how many Wollies gift card you can use in one transaction.
