    Mate of mine asked me to shoot his wedding in a few weeks. I have not shot weddings in a couple of years, indeed even sold “those lenses”.

    Thanks for the heads up, I just saved a few hundred on buying a Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS II lens.

    Glad to see the info was useful :D I bought myself a porcelain horse :)

    For anyone who missed out, ebay still has 3 different 5% promotions going at the moment all valid until the 31st March (why so many at once?? who knows???)
    Each one seems to be the same... minimum $30 purchase, and up to three transactions per account

    Codes are:

    PICK5
    PAY5LESS
    PLUCK5

    Unfortunately you can not buy coins with the discount. In the T&C's it says "Purchases of items listed in the following categories are excluded from this offer: Coins (11116)"

    Last year you could and I did it a couple of times but that's gone now.

    The maximum discount is $300 per transaction too. (They let you do 2)

    From what others have reported here, anything after Coins in your example won't get the discount, however I have not tried it so I don't know for sure..

    Yeah unfortunately they must have caught onto us and now anything in the Coins section which includes bullion, bars everything is no longer available for discounts :(

    We had a nice little run there, shame it's over

    You can buy gold jewellery and get the discount.... also any precious metals that are listed in the antiques categories

    Also, I think you have to log in through ebay Australia to apply the discount (I was in ebay UK the other day and tried to buy something with 5% off but the code wouldn't work, as soon as I logged in to ebay Oz it was fine)

    I'm all for the reward points too, as well as the shiney stuff of course. You can go through many online portals linked to eBay and collect more points with, Velocity estore, KrisFlyer spree, Qantas onlinemall, and more or just collect money back through cash rewards. You would be crazy not to collect extra on your eBay purchases
