  • Hey Guys, I noticed Woolworts gift cards are all $25 value left. I see Dan Murphy still has $50 cards. Anyone know if i can use Dan Murphy cards at Woolworths shops rather than just at Dan Murphies? TIA

    • +4

      You can

    • +2

      You can mate. I bought some earlier today and when I added to woolies money app it shows as wish cards

    • +1

      Hey all. Just purchased 5 Dan Murphy gift cards and have received the email links 10 minutes after i purchased

    Anyone who can get to eBay checkout though is unable to process payment via PayPal (it becomes greyed-out after logging in), OR is unable to pay via manually entering credit card (says payment is unsuccessful or will go through, process for a few minutes then you’ll get an eBay email saying it failed), YOU NEED TO CALL PAYPAL and let them know you are getting an error message and they will do an security verification. After that it will work.

    I tried yesterday and today to process this using private browsing mode, vpn, different credit/debit cards and it only FINALLY worked after calling PayPal today.

    I hope I help people and save them time and grief with this comment.

    • +5

      I called and they refused to do a verification. Instead they said to contact the seller :(

      • Oh really? They might clamping down as they are probably getting 100’s of Calls. Maybe retry and recall and hope you get another agent.

        Not much you can do though if they keep on saying no :(

      • Did the same to me

    • called them like 2 mins ago and it worked like a charm..tks mate!

      • Thanks for the info. Hopefully @akya ‘s scenario was only a one off and they aren’t clamping down.

        • +1

          They are claiming they can't do anything for certain 'high risk' accounts, without actually explaining what that means..

    • I got fed up with wait times on the phone! So shot them an email, which asked me to call them for verification. Then called them, and the lady asked me to explain everything (that was probably already in front of her screen). Then tried to complete the transaction and viola…. it got completed!

      So it seems both ebay and paypal might be locked with some security issues, and they need to check :S

  • My paypal is not working. If I use my credit card to pay, any Credit card conversion rate will be charged? Appreciate for your advice.

    • +1

      Ring PayPal to verify your account.
      Say you are getting error message trying to pay via PayPal
      and they will do a security check. It should then work for you.

      • Is it same to pay via PayPal or using my CC?

        • When you enter your credit card details manually into eBay for a purchase, they still use the PayPal system to process your payment, so you are still going to get issues.

          Like I said before, call PayPal quote your user ID and let them
          Know you are unable to make an eBay purchase. They will perform a security verification where they will probably get you to confirm your mobile number and send you an pin via SMS to confirm.
          Once this is done you should be able to login into PayPal
          At checkout and complete your purchase.

    • +1

      If you're trying to buy ebay gift cards sold by paypal-digital-gifts, then everything I've seen says you MUST pay by paypal. Everyone that tries to pay directly with a card seems to have their payment marked as pending, and then later it gets declined.

  • +2

    Flight Centre $100

    WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

    After a 15 min call to paypal I got it working!

    You need to call paypal and ask them to "run some security checks on your account"

    after this, they will send you a 6 digit security code which you need to tell the rep whilst on the phone!!!

    after this my paypal payment went through on desktop with chrome incognitio mode

    I tried to buy 500$ again but didn't work and was told it will take another 48 hours before I can repeat this "security check process".

    Hope this helps someone else :)

    • Or make another account?

      • well yeh if you have a few different paypal accs then you can do it :p

  • Called PP twice today to get the unblock code reset. It worked twice managed to get code working. Tried a third time to call PP to unblock again, got the same guy as previous call. He said he can no longer unlock or reset. Account has been locked pending review. Reassured me it was not a long term thing and was just for this ebay issue. He received 100s of calls today to the same effect.

  • Paid with PayPal, but my payment still says "pending" with the egg timer icon in My eBay. What should I do? Wait?

    • +1

      Wait until you get an outcome. You should know if it fails within 15 minutes.
      If it fails you’ll need to call PayPal and say that you cannot process purchase via PayPal and want them to check if there is a security lock on your account.
      They will do a verification check and then when you re-do it, it should then work.

      • Thanks…. Just called PayPal. They said no dice.

        Will try again with another paypal account that has a cash balance.

  • 45 mins on hold for $270 savings..
    thanks OP

  • +2

    I have been trying to buy $250 (200+50) gifts cards since last night. I just called PayPal and it took around 20 mins and they resolved the issue.

    I used UK address for the account and AU postal address as main delivery. I used my AU phone number and the PayPal that is linked to my AU account. I don't know if these variables are important but I hope the info can be helpful to someone else.

    Thanks OP.

  • When eBay charges 9 ~ 11% seller fees plus PayPal fees, as well as Amazon, newegg, I thought they were bad bad guys.
    But later Uber comes and they charge 29%, suddenly I love eBay very much

  • +1

    Virgin $100 giftcards still available at Officeworks (won't have paypal issues)

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233181795143

    • It does not say a expire date, so I assmue it is going to be at least 3 years by law, or no expire date?

  • +2

    ok, since you guys all said calling PP, I did so. The guy asnwered the call was obviously very exhasuted or tired of the D-DOS calls from all ozbargainers.
    I was asked streight forward 'are you going to purchase the gift cards on eBay UK?' I said yes, then I was told no, the purchase not going to go through, and there's no such thing called security check on account. Guess the guy has been exploited too much :(

    He might get a call every minute and don't have time for coffee or toliet, poor guy

    • +1

      Call again. I literally just got off a call less than 5 min ago and he confirmed payment went through after he did the security checks(sent an sms to my registered mobile number on PayPal and read out the code to him)

    • +1

      same boat. the guy told me there is no more security check on my account. simply blocked. and i asked why my family member's account is also blocked he said it's the seller's end. Not sure if that's true. please let me know if you succeed by calling again.

    • Same issue, tried final time today by calling paypal and got flatly rejected. Throwing in the towel for this deal…

  • Also called after payment failed emails x 2. Call to PayPal resolved it.

    PayPal rep confirmed payment went through after he did the security checks(sent an sms to my registered mobile number on PayPal and read out the code to him)

  • Is anyone else having troubles purchasing. I bought 2 cards yesterday and now I'm getting this message when trying to purchase x 1: Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again.

    • +1

      Minimum spend $250

      • Thanks!!

  • Is there a limit for gift card in one transaction on big w website?

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

    ANYONE??

  • +2

    Since everyone suggests to call PP and ask for security check code, I just rang PP the 2nd time. he said the transaction has been blocked the only thing we can do is contact the seller for alternative payment method.

  • Late to the party … but why eBay UK sells AU gift cards and more over why it has to be UK eBay account?

    • eBay UK don't sell AU gift cards, but they let you buy AU gift cards being sold on eBay Australia.

      You have to use a UK based account and buy the cards through eBay UK in order to be able to use the POUNDSOFF promotional code which is only available for UK registered users through the UK eBay site.

      • Thanks for your explanation. Seems that I am asked to provide mobile number .. wonder if this will be used to verify or something?

  • +1

    Third call to pay pal and i've had enough of being given zero information by them and being told to contact the seller..

  • Called PP to get the security verification done as suggested by a few in the thread. The rep to that she can see the transaction on my Paypal but it was not blocked by Paypal but my bank. I tried paying with two different cards both resulting the same. She asked me to contact my bank and nothing she could do unfortunately :(

  • -1

    Wait why do we supposedly get $45.91 off $250AUD?

    It seems like the deal is meant to be 10% off gift cards. So I don't get how this works!..

    Is it…. is it mistaking dollars for pounds and giving us a bigger discount than we are supposed to get?

    • +1

      It's mistaking GBP for AUD for the minimum spend it seems (probably a glitch).

    Anyone getting eBay account suspension emails? I setup a new UK account to purchase giftcards, got the same Paypal can't process payment error like many people. I didn't bother calling Paypal immediately. Then a few hours later I got an email from eBay saying my account is suspended:

    Quote:
    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.
    Regards,

    eBay Customer Service

    • Ouch. Have your other accounts been suspended too?

      • my other accounts are fine. Just 2 new ones suspended

    • If you've tried a wrong billing address to pay, then eBay would think you are stealing other people's card, and they are very likely suspend your account.

  • Has anyone been able to find a workaround for the PP being blocked issue?

    • +2

      keep calling back and hope you get someone who is willing to help you
      i did it once in the morning, had to get a text to verify 500$ transaction which worked
      tried later this afternoon to get another 250 but they said on their end they cannot re-approve the transaction, suggested try again in 24 hr (but it will expire by then :(). So maybe just try get as much as you can and go for it. both times i got helpful people but some of the others ozbargainers didnt.

  • +1

    Thanks, transaction went through. It worked finally! After 30 minutes phone call waiting, the issue was solved by the “special representative”. It is the first time I bought gift card from eBay UK. How long normally will it take to send to my email address? Anyone knows? Bought heaps e-gift cards.

  • So is it a 20% off or 10% off?

    • -2

      20% off $250 and $500 amounts, 10% off others. It’s a stuff up their end.

      • It is 18.5% off a $500 amount.

  • I just tried to buy $250 (2 gift cards) after purchasing successfully $500 (3 gift cards). I called PayPal they sent me the sms code and he tried to let me pay but was blocked. He told me UK eBay may have now closed the promotion? Can anyone confirm within the last 15 mins?

    • Created another new account and bought another 4 cards for $500 and it worked. No codes yet but PayPal invoice.

      • Did you use Incognito and/or VPN set to the UK?

        • incognito. I called again and they told me they can only override and send ou t security sms once. I dont know if they are being truthful or lying. They were rude on my second call

          • @Lucille Bluth: I have a hunch setting location to the UK will solve the PayPal issue.

            • @ilovefullprice: Ill just try again tonight.

              I also have yet to receive any of the gift cards ($500 total x 3 gift cards) I purchased successfully 2 hours ago

        • +1

          I used private mode (on iPad) just to create the account because I couldn’t be arsed deleting cookies. Then logged in normally and set post to aus and aus phone. Nothing else.

  • depends which (profanity) you get on PP to put through the transaction really

  • hilarious, I got through to paypal in about 30 seconds

    5 mins to verify me

    "we have got a lot of calls re this account, please contact the seller directly, until then there is nothing we can do"

    • I think they have caught on and no longer honouring this promo glitch? I called again (4th time) and nope nothing they can do. This after I successfully got $500 worth 2 hours ago. Not getting any luck getting a further $250 worth.

      • some have mentioned calling back,

        but I think the window has either closed or closing,

        I think if it doesnt work first time, it wont work unless you get very lucky, or get the right person

    Anyone having problems opening giftcards? I clicked on the emails and opened a few giftcards (for the code) and it was all fine. Then it stopped working - clicking on new emails bring me to a blank Paypal page. I've tried differene giftcard emails, different browser, even on my phone - all blank.

    Addit:

    Probably Paypal security feature. The first few GCs open directly, then subsequently ones need to go through reCapture security, then a few more (opening 8-9 GCs in quick succession) and it stopped working (blank page). Leave it for a few miutes and it works again. And the block is based on IP address. Taking my phone of wifi and using 4G allows access to the GCs.

  • did 2 transactions for $250 each but coming as payment pending for last 2 hours..Paid via paypal.

  • Worked for me didn't need to verifying just add to cart and paid via Paypal

  • +1

    eBay GCs ordered from one account came in minutes but haven't received any ordered from another account today @ 11am.

    How long it takes normally?

    • +1

      I ordered around 11am and still haven't received the GCs yet either.

    • Yesterday bought at 20:00 received at 11:00 today. I placed another order and have waited for an hour now.

  • I just purchased egiftcard an hour ago, Payment is still pending. Anyone has same issues?

    • similar issue here placed 2 orders both showed pending for couple of hours and then one of them just dropped from my purchase history…no charge on the card yet…
      other one is still showing as pending. Both payments via Paypal…

  • Help! I am getting this:

    This item cannot be purchased because this item cannot be sent to your delivery address.

    Although the item will be delivered via email, right?

    • Is your default shipping address an aussie address?

      • No I have changed it to a UK address.

        • It needs to be an Aussie address to buy the Aussie gift-cards I believe ;)

          • @FLICKIT: Oh got it … lol didn't read it carefully.

          • @FLICKIT: Yeah, i've already set mine to an Australian address, yet still getting that error.

    Just a heads up after going through 8 ebay UK accounts (fresh ones) and $4000 in ebay GC's , my secondary paypal and main paypal got suspended lol.

    My main one they unlocked within seconds of my call & ID docs (due to it being my main selling account, with tenure)

    but my secondary got flagged for their anti-money laundering thingo lol and had to submit a ridculous amount of ID info…

    Just be wary to not push the boundries like i did i guess…

    • +2

      Thanks for the heads up, lol.

      • +3

        The guy on the phone when i went to unlock the secondary account was like wtf are you doing with so many ebay GCs, best thing i could come up with was, enloops on sale hahaha (which was met with further confusion)

        • I see… Mine is also locked haha. But I did it after their paypal centre was closed D<. What kind of ID did they ask for though? PM if need be.

    • +1

      I bought over $2000. I think I should stop now.

        O then tried to just buy $1 worth item to make PayPal work but I didn't work either 😭

        • hmm you bought $1 on uk website, mines not working anymore so I bought something small on my main au account and it went through but on ebay uk accounts theres a buying limit that keeps coming up. I think they stopped it.
