RE: PayPal 10% Discount Code
This might be a stupid question but when do you use a paypal code. Is it when you get asked for an ebay coupon or is it somewhere else?
Thank you. :)
:/ Yea I`m confused
Thanks for the info regarding the Pay pal code,
But what is it for & how do you use it :/
Use it when you pay for an ebay item or other paypal payable item online. The code is entered when you do checkout in ebay anyway.
RE: PayPal 10% Discount Code
thank you very much - just saved £3.4something... anf got my phillips ice epilator for the same price as a cheaper version... (look, it makes sense to me!!)
Willow : I knew it. I knew it. Well, not in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn`t know
i`m confused. say i buy a £100 item on ebay. are you saying when i use paypal i enter the code i only pay £90? the seller then gets £96(ish) ie (£100 minus commission) and paypal lose £6 because they paid the seller £96 but only received £90 from the buyer?

Yes
If what your saying is correct, then this is a money making machine scam. i have 2 paypal accounts and you don`t need to buy and sell anything on ebay to use them. Even with just 1 account you can arrange to do this scam with a mate. For simplicity we will assume paypal get 3% comission in this example.
STEP1- using paypal accountA pay £10000 into accountB. Using the code means you only pay £9000. (accountB receives £9700) ie; £300 loss of comission.
STEP2- using accountB pay £10000 into accountA. Using the code means you only pay £9000 again. (accountA receives £9700)
This leaves £700 in each account (£1400 profit) with both original £9000 payments paid off! In a few minutes of doing this you would be a millionaire!
Even if it only works for ebay related payments you can buy your own or mates 1p `buy it now` items and add £10000 postage. You wouldn`t want to sell £10000 items because you would have to pay ebay comission also.
You have either uncovered the scam of the century or i`m missing something!
I expect that the 10% discount is really 10% cashback on the comission. E.g. if you buy something at £10000, the seller normally gets £9700 after comission and paypal get £300.
With the code- Paypal give you 10% of their comission (£30). You therefore pay £9970 for a £10000 item and the seller gets £9700, and paypal get £270 instead of the full £300 comission. IF THIS IS CORRECT YOU END UP GETTING A 0.3% DISCOUNT ON YOUR PURCHASES. IE; 10% OF THE 3% COMISSION.

OH my god!!!
If you had even read my original post, you would have seen that the maximum discount you can recieve with this code is $25 i.e around £10.
I do not believe you actually sat and worked out a scam for this code!
Every time I place a bargain on this site, all I get is grief about how it is not a bargain or I am trying to cheat someone. I have had loads of great bargains of this site and am just trying to give some back!
Tell you what, if you do not want 10% of your SMALL paypal payments then do not use the code! Simple.
by the way! are you allowed to advertise on every post you make!!! If I want to play poker I will go to a casino!
