Thanks for the heads up, but if I'm reading it correctly, I think it says you're getting the rebate in your Paypal account, not as a direct cash rebate. I've never tried removing money from a Paypal account, so I don't know if there will be other fees to have the money removed or not. I'm just going to use it for my frequent eBay purchases.

Be sure to read the terms and conditions. On Ebay purchases, you have to go through Ebay Checkout to pay via Paypal.

You're not qualified for the rebate if you simply go directly to Paypal and use their Send Money option to pay for the Ebay purchase.

Bah! Of course this hits DVDTalk the day AFTER I purchase a $200+ GPS unit for my wife and use PayPal.

Wait, doesn't this ALWAYS happen to someone here whenever a deal like this is announced? Guess it was just my turn this time. :sad:

PS - Thanks OP.

Here's something a little confusing about the terms and conditions:

Excluded Transactions. The following transactions are excluded from this offer: Send Money transactions, payments to Personal Accounts, eBay payments made to Personal Accounts, donations, PayPal Mobile transactions, payments for services, Virtual Debit Card payments, PayPal ATM/ Debit Card payments, payments made when you are not logged into your PayPal account, and PayPal Plus Credit Card payments not made through your PayPal account.

What does "eBay payments made to Personal Accounts" mean? Does this mean that you can only shop on eBay on designated eBay "stores" -- because wouldn't a "regular joe" seller have a personal account?

Is there any way to know in advance if the seller has a personal account versus a business account?

Also, does the $30 purchase include shipping? The terms and conditions make no mention of this. So, if I spend $28 on product and shipping is $6, I'd be making a PayPal payment of $34 -- does that qualify?

BTW, this thread is a duplicate of http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=491925 (in the DVD Bargains forum)

Maybe the mods should merge them, although I think Hot Deals is the correct forum for this topic, since the 15/30 can be applied to things OTHER than just DVDs.

I believe that when you input the email address for payment/get directed to sign in to paypal to make payment... it shows the type of account that you're sending too under the Account Status heading... for example, it might say 'Verified Business Member' or something along those lines.

As for including shipping, I'm not sure, but as they do not regard shipping as separate when they calculate their fees, I would assume that a $30+ order would include shipping.

Per EBay rules, every seller who lists a sale as accepting PayPal MUST accept credit card payments via PayPal. Personal accounts CANNOT accept credit cards. So anyone stating they accept PayPal should have a NON-personal account. (This did not used to be the case and sellers were able to specify non-credit card PayPal payments if they had a Personal Account, but EBay did away with allowing that quite a while back.)

So can I use this on renewing a domain on godaddy.com?

Wow was I the only person not allowed in the country club? I got this:

If you did not receive an email invitation for this offer directly from PayPal, you are not eligible to participate.

Ouch.

That's pretty strange, since I signed up directly from an ad on Paypal's front page...

We shall see, had to buy something anyways, so if I get 15 back on it score. Otherwise the Mach 3 razors were still a great deal thanks to ebay.

[CubsWin]

Has anyone received their $15 rebate yet? The website says we should get them by May 28, but I made my purchase about 6 weeks ago and I'm just curious if anyone else has had the funds credited to their account.

[odisn]

I was just thinking about this last night. And no, I have not received mine yet either.

[SpaceBoy]

I have not received anything, I forgot about this.

Why is the url paypal.promotionexpert.com? Why isn't it on paypal.com? Seems fishy to me, I'll pass.

[BuddhaWake]

it was on paypal.com, if you went to the home site the promotion was there.
