Free $15 eBay Certificate/Coupon

Did it come through e-mail?

Quote from ac3c0d3r : was it an email or was it sent to your ebay inbox

Quote from itlynstalyn : Did it come through e-mail?

I received an e-mail "Your $15 eBay gift coupon is here", received this morning and it also when I signed onto the eBay account I saw a message that said I have a coupon. It's under the "Activities" tab. There was no message in my eBay inBox.

Quote from gymsock : I'm not quite sure what to do with it now. I don't have a linked Paypal account. And I don't want to link my real one. Is it possible to create a fake account? Could I use the same name with a US address. My fake eBay account has a Russian address? Any help here? I would of course have to use my real address or the address of a friend in order to get what I buy? Am I committing fraud if I use it? Never really expected this to work. Also, when I sell stuff on eBay I usually don't ship unless they have a verified Paypal address, so . . . what to do?

According to Paypal, you can only have one personal, premier, or business account, and no more than two total accounts. But in any case, creating a fake Paypal account is pointless since you wouldn't be able to do anything with it. If you use fake names and addresses, you wouldn't be able to receive your items. If you have your friend create a Paypal account, that account and the Ebay account and coupon effectively become theirs, so it would be no different than if someone else participated in the coupon giveaway from the very beginning. You'd have to ask your friend if that's something they want to be involved in.

Creat a fake paypal, buy some e-gift card, so you don't need to use your real US address.

done.

Quote from euwil : Has anyone other than Gymsock gotten his/her coupon yet? Nothing here, I got in on this deal fairly early.

Just remember that I used a Russian address so maybe that's why

Smart. Good for you for getting one. Rest of us are probably out of luck.

This is Bolshevik! Should have known to never mess with Russians. Paypal + Russians =/= slickdeal

My Russian bride ain't here yet either!

Nothing yet - but it did say 21 days right? So I'll wait till then to see and remove the apps from my fake FB accounts.

bumping, still nothing

Didn't get this yet, still waiting.
