Ebay/Paypal Coupon Codes for august 2008 ?

Question

Please and Thank you :)

Answer 1

Had an issue with the same JLY & AUG coupons... eBay accepts them until you buy the product and then I got the 'Not linked to your account' message.  Talked with both eBay & PayPal 2 times each and got the runaround.  eBay finally told me that if the coupons aren't in the 'My Messages' section of your account that you cannot use them.  Anyway, I told them that its Fraud since their site accepted them initially as I was logged in and that the checking should have been done before I clicked on the 'Commit to Buy' button.  They directed me to their marketing group... Sound like a bunch of BS to me.

Did you know that you may be able to share the ebay/paypal coupons you get in the email/mail? Read this answer and see if some of the suggestions work for you.

Aug coupons

CAUG2008CSA10P: 10% off until 08/31/08.

CPPAUG0815P: 10% off for $100 and up (expiration Aug 30th 200.

CRTSY08JLY25: $25 off (expiration is Dec 26th 2008.

CTHANKS0810D: $10 off for $50 and up.

CRTSY08JLY500: $500 off. works for rare accounts only.

It may or may not work on your account as coupons may have limited usage. You have to try to find out. If you have more than one PayPal account, then you can try with all of them.

Update: if it did not work for your account, that means your PayPal e-mail is not linked with those coupons currently.

LINKING OTHER EMAILS TO USE THE CODES:

What should I do if the email address printed on my coupon is different from the one I use for my PayPal account? Question : Answer : If the email address on your coupon is different from your PayPal email, you must be the owner of the other email address and add that email address to your PayPal account.

Here's how:

Click My Account.

Click the Profile subtab.

Click Email in the Account Information column. Click Add to add the email address and follow the email confirmation steps.

**************************************...

Other good info:

Can I use a coupon for any purchase made using PayPal? Question : Answer : Yes. A coupon can be redeemed for any eBay item that accepts PayPal and that meets the requirements printed on the coupon itself.

Are coupons transferrable? Question : Answer : Yes, a coupon can be used by anyone if the coupon does not specify an email address. If the coupon does specify an email address, it is not transferable and only the owner of that email address can redeem the coupon using PayPal.

How do I redeem a coupon? Question : Answer : To redeem a coupon, enter the coupon redemption code during checkout and click Redeem. Coupons can only be redeemed for eBay items that meet the following requirements:

The seller must accept PayPal as a payment method

Items meet all requirements printed on the coupon itself

Item must be paid for using PayPal within 10 days of the item's closing date

If my coupon doesn't cover the whole transaction amount, how do I pay for the remainder? Question : Answer : The remaining balance can be paid with any of your other valid funding sources from your PayPal Account (i.e. PayPal balance, bank account, eCheck, or credit card).

As a seller, how do I accept coupons as payment for a purchase? Question : Answer : To accept a coupon as a payment method, a seller must accept PayPal as a payment method. Coupons are automatically converted to regular currency during redemption. Therefore, sellers are not aware that a coupon has been used to pay for a purchase.

Do sellers and merchants have to agree to accept redemption codes such as those on gift certificates or coupons? Question : Answer : No. Sellers and merchants do not have the option to accept or deny payments funded by gift certificates or coupons. They appear as regular payments in their PayPal accounts.

This is more of what i found on the topic. Called paypal and they said ebay sends random coupons via email or mail. Some get lucky. Some can share the luck using the method in the previous message. I hope this helps cause I spent hours on this issue.

>>>>>>>READ THIS<<<<<<< WANT EBAY COUPON CODES SENT TO YOU? Read Read Read Read! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WILL EXPLAIN WHY SOME PEOPLE DO NOT GET COUPONS FROM EBAY and PayPal. In "My eBay", under "My Account" on the left side of the screen, there is an option for "Notification Preferences". If you click on this, you will be taken to a large variety of "preferences". Down at the bottom, the very last choice is "Promotions and Surveys". Click on "Show" and you will be given five "Subscription" options. The second one is "General email promotions. Send me emails about whats new and hot on eBay, great deals, special events, discount coupons and other special offers." Just put a check mark in the box, save your settings, and voila! You WILL receive coupons eventually, not right away of course, but when eBay gives them out. I know you all will adore me after this, and hopefully there wont be too much whining going on afterward.... ENJOY!!!!!

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Just called Paypal customer service and was told that non of the coupon codes mentioned here were valid for my Paypl account and the codes could not be activated to work with my account(?) She also said Paypal and ebay send codes to customers on a random basis. I use to get codes a few times a year and have even made sure all my ebay account settings are set to receive promotional email... its been well over a year since I've last received an active ebay/paypal promo code... I wonder what the trick is to getting coupons codes these days?

Answer 5

The  codes listed above doesn't work unless you contact customer support

Answer 6

I just used the $25 one just now also and it worked for me. THANKS! :)

Answer 7

"Please enter the correct information for the following fields:

    *

      This redemption code is linked to another PayPal account and can't be used with this PayPal account."

So, it didn't work for me, the US$ 25...

Answer 8

I just paid for a cell phone and used the $25 discount code.  It worked.  Yay!

Answer 9

Hi Everyone, I don't know what the reason is that these coupons won't work for everyone, other than them being account specific.  Some of them, like the one I got from Brad's Deals, was for the general public, some of the other oes that I tried using buy searching on Google, and Yahoo answers were either account specific or expired.  At the end of the code is the expiration date ie:CRTSY08JLY25, so this coupon would end in July, supposedly .  I have just used this coupon CAUG2008CSA10P for 10% of a $100.00 or more, but believe me it didn't work at first, so I called Paypal, and as a courtesy they put it through for me.  Then I tried it again today, and it didn't work, it said I couldn't use it again for the same account..  We need to find some kind of format where we can post Active Ebay/Paypal Coupons for everyone to us, and maybe even complain to Ebay about how they distribute their coupons etc.  If anyone has anymore suggestions, or ideas please post, so we can all take advantage of these saving.

Answer 10

Anyone know what is the condition to use these code? Non of the code work forme. Is it bacause I am in canada. CRTSY08JLY25

Answer 11

all these are ******* garbage! none of them work and anyone who says they do is a liar!

Answer 12

I used the code for the $25 off and it worked for me.

Answer 13

I used the 25 dollars off one, it said it worked, and I was obviously very excited to be getting a New AA hoodie for 5 bucks, so i went and bought another. Go to check out and it says its not valid for my paypal account!  This sucks. Now im out $60 some dollars that I really should have been saving.

Answer 14

eBay is taking a break this month.  Since May I've received almost $800 in discounts on eBay from a combination of their coupons, eBay bucks, and Microsoft Live.  Their stock is already paying the price.

Answer 15

If ebay/paypal doesnt distribute them publically, then they dont work. So if you see someone saying $500 off it doesnt work because of it. I did research on it.

Answer 16

Call paypal and ask for a coupon code.  They gave me one (not great, but better than nothing) for %10 off one item worth $100 or less.  It has to be linked with your ebay/paypal email for it to work, so you have to call and set it up.  Worth the time on hold if you want a few bucks off.

Answer 17

What ebay us doing is allowing a select few people to use these coupons so it creates a buzz  and they post codes for others to use. Then we go and buy items thinking we can use the codes then we are rudely awakened by the fact that our account doesn't accept them. It is a cruel trick to increase sells. I paid slightly higher than normal for  football tickets because I expected to be able to get 10% off. In my opinion it is a form of bate and switch.
