Get $10 Off An Ebay Purchase For... Pausing A Video?

Update: The $10 promotion has met an untimely end, as all of the codes have been used. The PRIMO119 code detailed below is still good.

Ebay has a new promotion for anyone with a Facebook account that gets you a code for $10 off any item priced $10.01 or more. All you have to do is start watching a six-second video and hit the pause button. With the video paused, you'll see a prompt that says, "Get your code." That's it. Just enter your code during checkout on Ebay, and you'll get $10 off almost any item that costs more than $10.

You can use the promo code on nearly anything on the site, including games, consoles, controllers, accessories, and even gift cards for the Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, and Nintendo Eshop. The deal goes away tonight at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET, or when 50,000 codes are distributed. The codes themselves expire on July 25, so you have to use them before then.

Another Ebay promo code that's valid today only is PRIMO119, which gets you $25 off any purchase of $119 or more. Ebay is advertising it by saying, "No membership here," a not-so-subtle dig at Amazon, whose Prime membership recently went up to $119 per year and also happens to be celebrating Amazon Prime Day 2018 today. Unlike the other promotion, this one can't be used on gift cards.

According to the fine print on both deals, neither can be combined with any other coupon, so it's unlikely that they stack. But if you're planning make purchases at Ebay today or in the near future, you might as well take advantage of them if you can.

• Nintendo Eshop gift card -- $10-$50
• Microsoft Store gift card -- $15-$100
• PlayStation Store gift card -- $20-$100
