    Nice find, Nizzy. :)

    For me, I will never use PayPal again. They royally messed things up for my account, and a purchase a few weeks ago :(

    I'm hoping they dont mess me up. They have about 300 bucks they are "holding" for me right now for items the buyers have already received.

    In another note, i got the 2 dollar coupon today. :rolleyes:

    Is there a way to test if the coupon works? I've had some trouble using coupons because of some e-mail discrepancies (changed e-mails) and it wouldn't apply. Also, how limited is the time?

    EDIT: Apparently the 10% coupon only works if you've gotten it from your e-mail address, so otherwise it doesn't work.

    I tried using this yesterday and it didn't work for me either.

    Most likely an expired offer :eek:

    As I said in my post above, the offer is only valid for people who had gotten a 10% Paypal discount from e-mail.

    So making people aware of it in this thread only leads to deceiving some into buying expensive products and later figuring out they can't use the 10% discount. ;) If you were ever eligible for the 10%, you would have known about it anyway through e-mail anyway without having to read this thread, and if you aren't eligible for it, then it is pointless reading about it here.

    Just to muddy things further, a very small proportion of Ebay users who have not gotten the codes will also find it applicable for their purchase.
