You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Not sure if this has been posted, but eBay will be releasing a code at 4pm that gives 20% off any purchase, paid for via Paypal, that will be valid from 4pm to 10pm.
Code will be released on their Facebook, but will appear on Moneysavingexpert etc.
We told you about the rumour in this week's email, now eBay has confirmed it. At 4pm today, eBay will release a special code for use at checkout to get 20% off at eBay.co.uk* - we'll post it here then so bookmark this page.The code is only available for use until 10pm tonight (Thu 22 Oct). The minimum spend is £20 and you must pay by Paypal. The code works on buy-it-now and auction goods, though auctions need to end between 4pm and 10pm.
You can only use the code once per person, but you can use it on multiple items (you must check them out at the same time). The max discount’s £50, which would be for a £250 spend.

.....amusingly, Xbox/PS4s seem to have magically gone up by 20% already..
Nice one, that'll come in handy.
quick - list your slightly overpriced stuff on ebay now!
Typical, something I am bidding on finishes at 10.06 tonight 😆
Presumably in a perfect market, any auction would end up 20% higher if everyone has access to the voucher?
*looks through watch list*
oooh, £10 off 20L of chainsaw oil! 🙂
and a Gilbert rugby spot kick tee for Jr.
Ebay seem to be running a lot of promotions at the moment.
Last week I got emails for 75% off all my final value fees and we'll match your sales upto £30.
These two follow two very similar promotions earlier in the summer.
Ohh hell - I am watching a Charge Plug with a BIN of £150....
Must resist....
Must resist....
No, no you shouldn't.
What you should do is maybe edit your post before the STW gannets descend on that particular listing 😉
The only thing stopping me is the fact it is collect in person only somewhere 5 hours from me,,,,
Well this would have been very useful yesterday.
🙁
ooo New Garmin...
Ooooh - new roof bars and ski carrier 🙂
Sprinted off to ebay to list a bike for sale and looks for mower..
Dammit can't find anything I want to buy.
Ebay must be struggling, promotion after promotion.
You can only use the code once per person, but you can use it on multiple items (you must check them out at the same time). The max discount’s £50, which would be for a £250 spend.
Ah well, new car can wait...

Removes 2 grand bike frame from shopping basket... 🙁
CUKFLASH !
From now until 10pm tonight you can enter the code CUKFLASH at checkout to get 20% off at eBay.co.uk*.
Go ! Go ! Go !
Cheers OP for the heads up! Got £50 off a new phone I'd been wanting for a while.
cheers
CUKFLASH
Cukflash??? Really?
Nice - £44 saved - worked on an auction I won just before 4pm! The Mrs has a separate account if I spot anything else.
Nice. £50 saved (or £200 spent!)
Towbar bought . Thanks.
cheers 🙂
Does it work on items over 250 but just deduct 50 quid?
Yes
Cheers
Garmin 810 performance bundle for 211 for me
Anyone know if the seller has to be UK based? Just eyeing up something else
I just bought some brakes from Germany and it let me use it.
Items just have to be on ebay.co.uk, don't have to be UK based seller
Presumably in a perfect market, any auction would end up 20% higher if everyone has access to the voucher?
Yes but there's tons of BiN stuff on there. Possibly even more from ebay shops than private auctions.
Cheers for the PSA. Can anyone recommend me an electric power washer from ebay?
Lovely job, £25 off a towbar for my Hilux. Splendid.
Interesting - even with 20% off, wiggle is cheaper on Garmin 510 & 25.
Edit: (unless buying from Taiwan)
A lot of sellers have added 20% onto their prices. They could have just added 10%, so they made more and the customer got 10% off....but apparently that's a bit too fair for some sellers.
*looks at Zavvi*

Nice one, thanks for that.
Weird as I'd assume that eBay are footing the bill and the seller still gets the amount pre-discount. Maybe if the seller is a business they have some agreed minimum price that the goods can be purchased for with someone, distributor maybe.
This got me to pull my finger out and decide on a laptop.
£50 off is pretty good.
Fingers crossed that a grade-B refurb laptop is going to be up to the job!
Thanks for the PSA.
Exposure Strada Mk6 ordered
I thought it was weird about the price rise from some places.
As mrblobby says - maybe they have a minimum advertised price (MAP) they are allowed to do. Quite common.
I seem to have had the 20% off applied to my eBay purchase, but the full amount (ie without the 20% off) charged to PayPal. Any ideas?
Cheers OP...some new car mudflaps; its like Christmas early 😉
the full amount (ie without the 20% off) charged to PayPal.
Mine said that on the email but, having logged into Paypal on my laptop, it is the discounted amount
BIG THANKS TO THE OP!!!!
Just bought my daughter an ipad air 2 for her upcoming 10th birthday. Perfect timing!!
Thanks. Just bought a new rear hub and a spare dive computer.
I seem to have had the 20% off applied to my eBay purchase, but the full amount (ie without the 20% off) charged to PayPal. Any ideas?
yes, 20% off that Paypal payment is from PP, not you. So if you checked how much PP had taken from your linked bank account, or off what was your previous balance, you'd see it was less than the amount paid out. Not the most obvious way of doing it, we were a bit confused the last time they had this promo.
I bought some curtains & cushions I've been watching for.
WHAT?! I'm ill 🙁
There's another set here if anyone's interested - quite a whack off John Lewis price.
can't help noticing all Absolute Cycles auctions end at 10.01pm tonight....
Who makes up the shortfall? eBay surely?
Cracking, Christmas is now sorted and I got some new brakes at a cracking price.
Cheers OP. Just ordered a gimbal for my quadcopter
Cheers, good timing: winter gloves on the way 🙂
Who makes up the shortfall?
EBay and PayPal
Has to be eBay & PayPal, but what they gain beyond generating more sales for sellers I don't know. The things I bought were the same price they were weeks ago. Last time they ran this offer they had a 'budget' once this was used they pulled the code 8-9pm if I remember right. They probably account for it as advertising, cheaper than a TV run & gets people looking on eBay.
Ta, one of those BT YouView boxes purchased.
so £80 for a set of XT brakes?
can't help noticing all Absolute Cycles auctions end at 10.01pm tonight....
😆 theres only 5 listings that end at 10:01pm - probably a coincidence and thats out of 1243 listings and BIN Auctions are irrelevat
They also had a "get 6x Nectar points on purchases" promotion on for today only.
So picked up the equiv. of £2 in nectar points to boot.
must've been the 5 I looked at then!
So picked up the equiv. of £2 in nectar points to boot.
and you get 1% Topcashback with eBay now too.
Thanks crashtestmonkey that's exactly what's happened.yes, 20% off that Paypal payment is from PP, not you. So if you checked how much PP had taken from your linked bank account, or off what was your previous balance, you'd see it was less than the amount paid out. Not the most obvious way of doing it, we were a bit confused the last time they had this promo
Sweet! Fox Launch knee and elbow pads ordered for me and him for £130-odd from Dennis Winter on ebay 😀
edit- saved just over £30!
Just read back my "if you'd checked..." and it possibly reads like I was being sarky/arsey/patronising which wasn't what was intended! Both me and t'other half used the last code and both did the "eh, what?" on seeing PP and had to double check.
Trying not to but some 80 quid brakes I don't need....
Ooh, I just remembered what it was I was looking at buying on ebay...
Gaahhh! £375 on a van heater. Red wine made me do it. GAAHHH!
*It's an investment, its an investment...*
[quote=aracer opined]Ooh, I just remembered what it was I was looking at buying on ebay...
thanks for almost sharing what it was
To apply the discount code to multiple purchases I assume I do it via: Basket > Proceed to Checkout (ie pay for all items for all sellers) > and then enter the code?
I remember this being a right faff last time round.
EDIT: If a seller has to re-invoice me to account for combined postage, I assume that appears accurately in my basket when sent?
Well I'm not about to let you lot nip in before I do am I?
On the eBay 'Checkout: Confirm Order' page in the Paypal box on the right it says "[i]This voucher or code (CUKF-x) is invalid. You’re not able to use it with this payment.[/i]"
Yet the page itself show ths discount and the reduced price: anyone else getting that?
Didn't notice it on my first purchase
[quote=nuke ]Didn't notice it on my first purchase
I think your issue might be right there...
[quote=nuke ]
Didn't notice it on my first purchase
The code is valid for one purchase only (multiple checkout items paid for together count as one purchase)
😳 Thanks chaps
...looks like the new hedge trimmer is going on the wife's ebay account 8)
🙂
As above, if you want to buy multiple items under the offer then add them all to your basket and then checkout everything in one hit.
Cheers OP, I couldn't resist and got myself a kayak!
well I properly spanked that - a Garmin out front mount AND a 10 quid digital pressure gauge for tinkering with the CX bikes. Live on the edge, me 😉
arghhh can't decide.
