Ebay Vouchers - have you had any, and what did you buy

[Danny-boy]

2001 Full sovereign. chucked in my £7.50 nectar vouchers, only cost me £159.75 . I'm the cheapest so far lol

yay.... [emoji4] 

I didn't realise nectar points counted. I used £25 worth so mine was £147.

My new investment strategy is to set up 10 ebay/paypal accounts and only buy when these days come up:P

semi serious..

[HelpingHands]

They seem to do it a week before pay day too so you'd need to have funds ready.

Used the code to buy a $300 sovereign on eBay.com so $300 - $60 = 240 with 6 X nectar points worth £5 so £150 plus Amex miles... Say £145 net inc postage ...

Or, do that and list sovereigns on each account for sale @ £250 each. Buy them with the accounts (obviously not the one it's listed on) using the code for each of the accounts.

You then get £218.75 for each with fees paid, but you only bought them for £200 by using the code.

£18.75 per sovereign gained, for a £187.50 profit overall.

Buy another sovereign for free, and repeat each time. No worries on fakes / non delivery etc.

I'm sure my maths must be wrong somewhere [emoji1]

has anyone done this with more than one account ?

[HighlandTiger]

not wishing to worry anyone but although I've got an email from eBay saying I've paid the discounted amount. My paypal account says I've paid the full price. mmmmmm

[watchesandwhisky]

Il have too try and get my head round that Dan lol!

Yes Steve, I just use family members accounts, as long as the paypal account is different it works!

BBP have had to top up their stock for best value listing.  Haha.

I think that's because the seller receives the full amount so that what shows in the summary.  If you go into the details it shows the breakdown of what you've paid and what's been paid by the voucher code.

My PayPal account also shows the full amount having been paid. Wait and see time!

[Scuzzle]

^^^ That's right, if you click on order details it will show the transaction all broken down with the discount voucher applied

I paid from PayPal balance and it shows the full price amount in transactions - but only the reduced price came off the balance.

Don't panic.....

If anyone has a USA address I recommend Bay precious metals. Special on the 5 ounce and 1/2oz monkey -20% would be amazing

[sovereignsteve]

A couple more Brit proof sets (1997 and 2011), getting there now.Average £125 each delivered plus 1850 nectar points which I've no real idea about as I've just started with these.

[BaldyBob]

Choice between Sov & silver...went for silver.

Got 15 x 1oz Brits for £191.98 delivered, cheaper than STG.

Invoice says discount applied, buy Paypal showing full amount taken from account...have Ebay messed up again?

SORRY......we were all obviously typing at similar time.

[HelpingHands]

I think someone is getting me a sov on their account.  If so, this could be me spent up for 2015.

I was feeling lonely here and thinking I'm the only one on Thesilverforum actually buying silver!

No,  the paypal summary includes the voucher contribution.  Click the details.

Thanks HH, you are correct. Going to Paypal classic helps as well.

[HelpingHands]

Yes I always go to classic instead of cartoon paypal.

Move?

And we look at how cheap the Americans get PM's and we feel like we are getting screwed.

Numistacker said he got it working on .com   (or was that a typo)

You could try putting something with an 'add to basket'  then if the code doesn't work remove it?
