Why is it I can never think of anything exciting to buy when these come up?

Bluto's are >£50 more than they are in the shops.

Never sure which shop is actually lightbike to buy some carbon rims, any ideas?

Dammit, cracked and bough a Sigma EX 10-20mm f/3.5 for my pentax.

Irritated because:
1) You can get Cannon / nikon versions for £50 less than pentax ones in the shops simply because they're more popular
2) Pentax lenses could be simpler because there's no shake reduction and the body drives the AF, so they really should be cheaper anyway!

Still, now the same price as Cannon/nikon so can't complain too much! Cheers OP.

anything. As long as you pay by 10pm so really limited to buy it now stuff. Must pay with pay pal and must be on .co.uk site but apart from that anything goes.

Thank you OP - new set of wheels for the commuter - nice upgrade from rs21s to archetypes on miche hubs I'd had my eye on for sometime.

That said, curse you as I almost made it through a month with £0 spent on bike related stuff. Dammit.

A good mountain bike GPS would be handy - i.e. one I can load route maps onto via a laptop and then follow out on the bike...

Any recommendations in & around that £250 mark?

Well that's annoying, entered the code at 9:50, PayPal went through ok, confirmed purchase in eBay site.
10:17, receive email saying that my payment could not be processed, everything is back in my basket and the code doesn't work anymore.

I'll ring the helpline tomorrow, last time eBay did one of these offers they were pretty good at honouring it even when it crashed.

I'm still trying to work out if I paid ~£90 or ~£110 for a pair of 4.0 snakeskin Jumbo Jims and a pair of SV13F innertubes... Different e-mails/Ebay/Paypal are telling me conflicting info after the first attempt at paying just before the supposed deadline failed! 😕

Decided against the Exotic carbon riser in the end, the monthly budget is a little tight, covering what I now consider overpriced private rented accommodation and putting 200 squids per month into a Help To Buy ISA.

Nearly bought an Abus Bordo lock to supplement my Abus granit-X D-lock, for fear of the cost of replacing a nicked fat wheel and tyre when I start commuting in about a weeks time, but the amount of variations and what seemed to be uncompetitive prices on Ebay prevented me from buying what was a random thought in the last 20-odd minutes of the promo. 😳

log into paypal (not the mobile app) and the discount should be applied in the transaction summary

Hmm.

I bought two items - separately - last night and received eBay notifications and PP notifications immediately.

The PP notifications specifically show the discount in brackets.

Confusingly when logging into PP the line item is full price but when you click on each you see the discount has been applied - will keep an eye on what actually is taken:

Your purchase
SunRace Wide Range Cassette MX3 11-42t 10 speed MTB Super Wide - Shimano & SRAM [b]£63.95[/b]
Item number
[b]Voucher-negative £12.79[/b]
Postage and Packaging£0.00

Purchase total£51.16
Fee£0.00

worked for me and appears in paypal as expected and have confirmation email, got a bargin on some already discounted camera equipment.

Are offers like this really profitable for paypal? i'm sure more things get bought but the discount seems quite generous.

From another forum:

eBay/Paypal make around 20% off sellers, they waived that for a little while, massively increased their clicks and ad revenue, massively increased purchases, reminded people they were there and almost certainly pushed up auction prices (not buy it now obviously) thus increasing the fees they just gave away.

eBay is approx 10% (+/- dependent on category and your account type). Capped at £250.
Paypal is approx 4%.
