Ebay payment problems
nib1980 - 25/3/08 at 09:14 AM

Hi all,


It is kind car related, I recently won some goggles on ebay, and as they kindly sent me a discount voucher, I tried to apply it, and all i got was "this system is unavailable"

so i thought i'd try and pay without it, same thing happened.

I've contacted ebay, and there being sort of helpful saying its a paypal problem, but i can log into paypal no bother, it seems the link between ebay and paypal has been lost?

anyone else had a similar or same problem?

many thanks

I had an email voucher for £7.50 off p&p of my next purchase from ebay but paypal would not recognise it. Ebay blamed paypal and paypal have not responded to my question about why it would not work even though it was copied and pasted in as per their instructions.

I had a £25 off when you spend £50 voucher and it worked a treat (I have some nice new ali cortina hubs winging their way to me )

I used my voucher last week and had no problems and have bought and paid for other things this week with no problems exept the wife complaining

ebay's a bit sh!t right now...
was on there yesterdayseaching for stuff, and never got any results for a very general search, like 'wilwood' brought back about 15 things. 'vauxhall' returned about 20

it wont even let me log in now, and each time I search it gives me some very random looking spam site!

The death of ebay?

I had the same problem!

Log straight on to pay pal not ebay
add voucher code in the box on the bottom left and pay!
Will prompt you the discount has been put in place.

I just used a £10 voucher no problems after I had sorted my email out.

My paypal email addy is different to my ebay addy, once i linked the two no problem.
