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?

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.

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?

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!
