$15 paypal showed up in my cart, prior to checking out with paypal, and below is copy of receipt

208286766 Western Digital Elements 640GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
1 $64.99 $64.99
N/A purchase select products using PayPal and receive $15 off instantly. One coupon per order, may order up to two times. An instant credit will be applied to your basket at checkout
1 $0.00 $0.00

Subtotal: $64.99
Shipping: $0.00
Tax: $4.71
Total: $69.70

How did you arrive at the conclusion that it worked? It says instant discount but the $15 is not reflected in your order total. That's like a car salesman giving you "MSRP and not a penny more" and thinking you got a great deal.

I'm sure Buy.com made sure to jack up the prices for this offer. Some things I looked at definitely have the price jacked up.

And didn't you see the note "* Discount will be applied once the minimum requirements are met." in red on the shopping cart page?

FWIW, there is a link in upper right corner labeled 'Exclusive deals with PayPal'...
that lists 29 items. Maybe these are the items which get the discount.
Also noticed that the more you add to the cart, the coupon goes up to $20.

Alright...who's the Buy.com employee that's getting all of
us to waste our time on this deal or drum up more business?

Anybody know their custom service number? I saw the $15 coupon even in PayPal, now they are changing me the full price. I need to talk to them.

It appears that the link to the coupon is what happens if you add an item on the paypal sales list to your cart and then click on the link to the coupon. Here is one for 20.00 from a monitor. It won't work with anything else.. 20 coupon
