How the hell did you miss out the launch offer!

£10 off any transaction over £30 before shipping but after VAT. And there's no limit!

I've done two transactions via Ebuyer already, 2x Classic pads + 1 keyboard: £31 -> £21

2x256MB SODIMM £34-> £24

Speaking of SODIMM's your post just pushed me to buy another GB of ram for my macbook pro... with £10 off

Glad to be of service **tips hat**

Spotted the ebuyer offer this morning and was well chuffed as I have about £150 of kit waiting to be bought. Best part is, I can split it into 3 orders to get £30 off!

But... Google checkout won't accept my Solo card. Bloody marvelous. I'll be phoning Google/my bank soon to sort it out. The offer's good until about the 12th June IIRC.

ive used Googlecheckout over here in the US, every now and then they have these "save $10 with Google Checkout" dealies, so I gave it a shot.. doesnt seem all that bad really, of course paypal seems a little smoother having done that a bazillion times more often

I found Checkout easier then paypal really. Clearer aswell

Unless it can infiltrate eBay, it will never be as big as PayPal. Unless of course they make gBay or something 8/
