How To PLay
From the FAQ page of the contest:
Go to www.winit.ebay.com and follow the link to the "Hidden Mickey" Web page.
Find four Mickey Mouse shapes hidden in the image displayed and choose their location from the drop-down menus provided. Choose the Disney Parks location pictured from the fifth drop-down menu provided.
Submit your selections before 11:59:59 p.m. PT, along with your eBay User ID.
You can change your Hidden Mickey selections at any time during the day, but the last selections you submit, as received by 11:59:59 p.m. PT on the date specified on the Daily Drawing Entry Chart below, will be your final submission for a Daily Drawing. Each unique final selection you submit that exactly matches the answer chosen by eBay as correct will count as one (1) entry. Limit five (5) entries per eBay User ID per day via this method.
Or a more clearer version:
Here is what someone said on Ebay:
Now here's an extra treat for your stocking: For up to five more entries into a day's prize drawing, find Hidden Mickey. Every day we'll feature a new picture of a Disney theme park with four Hidden Mickey shapes located throughout the picture. Find the Hidden Mickeys and select their location from the pull-down menus. Every Hidden Mickey you correctly find will earn you another entry into that day's drawing. For a fifth entry, correctly identify the Disney park location pictured. Some of the Hidden Mickeys are tough to see, so look closely!
It explains the mickeys for those who have questions
Here is a link to the Hidden Mickey home page.
Each time you find a hidden mickey( 1 per day, a different one each day) You will Automatically recieve a code but you will also get a entry into the Vacation package contest. If you read this text:
Quote:
Every day you find Hidden Mickey, eBay will send a special bonus code to My Messages in My eBay, allowing you to claim a virtual item to use in Disney's free online game
It says nothing about entering a contest. On the FAQ page it talks about an additional fact to the Hidden Mickey and talks about the contest going on.
There is no contest to get a VMK code.
Prize codes are random each day.
Here is some more info i felt should be added here from Schmoofy
You do NOT need to purchase anything on eBay to get the VMK prizes. The prizes are a gimmick for the people buying the Disney collectables through eBay during November 24th through December 3rd. What you need to do is find the hidden mickey each day, which shouldn't be that hard considering it's a gimmick for people buying items. I've sourced the page, and found that a soon-to-be working link over the text "Hidden Mickey" leads to here (http://www.winit.ebay.com/scripts/feedback.asp?msg=HolidayClosed). My best guess is that is where we will find the hidden mickey daily. Once again, you do NOT need to purchase anything to get these VMK extras.
DO NOT:
Can we create mule accounts on eBay?
No!! Very bad idea, it also asks you for a credit card number to keep your identity. So Do not mule on this one!
moviedude 11-22-2006, 09:50 PM more details! explain! im confused! those prizes look so cool!
Neoteny 11-22-2006, 09:51 PM What? Now VMK, which doesn't approve of people selling items on eBay, is doing a promotion with eBay?
TravisSch 11-22-2006, 09:52 PM I just finished reading this and it looks like its true.
I hope I get Treasure Detector Magic!
LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 09:54 PM It looks like each day will be a different prize (do the math) and you need to login to Ebay. Search around for the hidden mickey (maybe a set of mickey ears) click on it and you will be sent a message via your Ebay account with a code for a select item.
Annaso 11-22-2006, 09:55 PM Wait...could someone explain to me the Hidden Mickeys thing? Thank you,
Annaso
PS For those of you who, like me, are against people selling VMK codes on ebay, don't worry, this is NOT selling stuff. It's free!
WafflePrincess 11-22-2006, 09:55 PM So now I have to buy stuff from eBay to get VMK stuff?
Can't they just stick with us buying the pins?
Gosh
Thenishall 11-22-2006, 09:55 PM How do I find Hidden Mickeys?
moviedude 11-22-2006, 09:55 PM Omg. its that simple? lol. But dont we have to purchase something?
Brer_Nick 11-22-2006, 09:58 PM Why is it that now you have to sign up and do all kinds of extra stuff to get vmk stuff. This one I might atempt to do because i got an ebay account but all these extra promotions are a pain.
Oh and it also says if you find it you get a chance to win. You don't automatically get it
CaptianNemo 11-22-2006, 09:58 PM Treasure Detector Magic
Whooo ho!
Nemo
Thenishall 11-22-2006, 09:59 PM Where do you have to go to find hidden mickeys?
Waterelement 11-22-2006, 10:00 PM I wouldn't do the rewards if it isn't posted on the VMK Homepage, ebay could be scamming people to sign up.
LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 10:00 PM Starting friday check the Hidden Mickey Home Page and find mickey to win
Brer that is for the YOAMD sweepstakes and the Hidden Mickey Quest is a completly seperate promotion
Annaso 11-22-2006, 10:00 PM @_@
QUESTION: Someone, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEASE, explain the hidden mickey thing! And also, I'm registering for ebay. They are asking for my number. Are they actually going to USE it? And has anyone who is a member of ebay had any problems with it? I just want to consider the source ;)
Thenishall 11-22-2006, 10:02 PM Starting friday check the Hidden Mickey Home Page and find mickey to win
Brer that is for the YOAMD sweepstakes and the Hidden Mickey Quest is a completly seperate promotion
Where is the Hidden Mickey Home Page?
LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 10:02 PM Annaso you must be at least 16 years of age tro purchase a Ebay account, otherwise i would recommend you use a parent's account
Dudejoejoe 11-22-2006, 10:04 PM After reading alot.. I gathered this info:
It looks like you have a good chance of winning. In order to win though you must regiester with a eBay account. (If you don't have one it's free to sign up!) When the contest starts November 24th (Friday!) You should looked back at that page and go to the FAQ part. Scroll and find the link to the website within eBay.com. Right now it has nothing consdering it hasn't started yet. I'm almost postive that once you find the mickey you wil be sent a code on eBay ONLY IF YOU ENTER! And each person can only win one prize a day I belive. .And there are much cooler prizes to! Like trips to Disneyland and Disney World with VIP seatings and veiws to parades and such. I suggest you all check it out! I'll update you guys with more info!
And Annaso my Aunt has a acount I use all the time. It's perfectly free and what not. My aunt has gotten stuff from eBay and they don't kid around! If you win YOU WILL GET THE PRIZE! eBay isn't as bad as everyone thinks!
moviedude 11-22-2006, 10:04 PM I just made an account >_< now what? lol
SpaceGalaxy 11-22-2006, 10:05 PM I DO NOT understand this.
Is this a scam? I don't get it whatsoever.
Someone please explain!
AlwaysPrincess 11-22-2006, 10:08 PM I am a little suspicious of this. I don't like the the web site does not start with ebay.
I also can't find anything on the ebay home page. Maybe I am being overly cautious
Never enter your eBay User ID and password on a page that doesn't have "ebay.com" immediately before the first forward slash (/). If the address includes additional characters prior to the forward slash such as "@," dashes, etc., it is not an eBay page. Even if the Web address contains the word "eBay", it may not be an eBay Web site
Until we find out more PLEASE don't do anything with this link. It does not look right to me and we all know how careful you have to be.
Joshua 11-22-2006, 10:09 PM So, by finding this mickey, you MAY win a prize, and MAY not?

Eviie 11-22-2006, 10:11 PM Ah im screamig! I'm SO excited. And then we can share were the hidden mickeys are located here ;)
Dudejoejoe 11-22-2006, 10:12 PM If your confused read my post on page 2.. I pretty much summed it up. It's NOT a scam people..
neodude237 11-22-2006, 10:13 PM I think you are being a little too cautious alwaysprincess I signed in on the REAL ebay.com, then went to the link, and I was logged in at the link on the first post of the topic too
Rainy_days 11-22-2006, 10:13 PM On the bottom of the page it says copyright of ebay, so i believe it is legitimate, but my question is how so we find the mickeys?
moviedude 11-22-2006, 10:14 PM I think you are being a little too cautious alwaysprincess I signed in on the REAL ebay.com, then went to the link, and I was logged in at the link on the first post of the topic too

Even though everybody keeps saying that she (AlwaysPrincess) is being overcautious
Im going with what she is saying
LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 10:15 PM I just hope my dad will let me go on his ebay account
and any Mods reading this, this should be moved to news
Exoxus 11-22-2006, 10:26 PM VMK has gone insane.
Do they actually think this will somewhat prevent the buying and selling of VMK codes? HAH!
-X
LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 10:26 PM 2 things strike me though
1. Why would VMK not want cards to be sold on ebay but then make a promotion on it?
2. Why create a contest for people 18 or older when VMK is geared towards children?
Neoteny 11-22-2006, 10:27 PM VMK has gone insane.
Do they actually think this will somewhat prevent the buying and selling of VMK codes? HAH!
-XYes, VMK is now encouraging us to buy things on eBay!
BlueJalepeno 11-22-2006, 10:29 PM All I can say is,
I'll believe it when I see it.
When someone actually does get one of these things, then I'll sign up.
Or when It's recongnized in the newsletter.
jamiewe 11-22-2006, 10:29 PM ets just wait till friday, usally the VMK homepage gets updated every friday.
Annaso 11-22-2006, 10:29 PM Yes, VMK is now encouraging us to buy things on eBay!
Not exactly to BUY, but to create accounts on.
Still, it all seems kind of odd when I think about it.
Dudejoejoe 11-22-2006, 10:31 PM I doubt VMK is encourging people to buy things off eBay. Like I mentioned before ALL PRIZES ARE NOT JUST VMK PRIZES! Trips to DLR and WDW make for great prizes also! I for one am going to sign up for this, if you guys think it's unfair go ahead and not sign up your just missing out on some cool VMK prizes! And Yavn might have something about this up on the newsletter soon.
LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 10:32 PM Ok i figured something out.
Each time you find a hidden mickey( 1 per day, a different one each day) You will Automatically recieve a code but you will also get a entry into the Vacation package contest. If you read this text:
Every day you find Hidden Mickey, eBay will send a special bonus code to My Messages in My eBay, allowing you to claim a virtual item to use in Disney's free online game

There is no contest to get a VMK code.
Neoteny 11-22-2006, 10:33 PM At least now we know where Treasure Detector Magic can be found. Now, what ever happened to that Flying Carpet?

BlueJalepeno 11-22-2006, 10:37 PM Maybe VMK is making a pact with Ebay so Ebay will not let ppl sell virtual stuff, and as part of the deal, VMK has to do something for Ebay :O
Gobbles 11-22-2006, 10:38 PM Will we be able to post where the mickeys are?
SpaceGalaxy 11-22-2006, 10:38 PM 2 things strike me though
1. Why would VMK not want cards to be sold on ebay but then make a promotion on it?
2. Why create a contest for people 18 or older when VMK is geared towards children?
I agree with the second one.
Why make this only for people over 18 years?
Afterall, this is a kid game. Or it's supposed to be. ;)
I know adults play it, but I don't think it's fair for them just to get it.
Kinda not fair VMK.

Well said.
This is really interesting and exciting as not everyone is going to participate and get these prizes!
I hate it how we find out about these things before VMK says anything about them and gives us all the details..

LAXplaya1346 11-22-2006, 10:44 PM Can we create mule accounts on eBay?
No!! Very bad idea, it also asks you for a credit card number to keep your identity. So Do not mule on this one!
What makes me angry is yavn said this would be released in game @_@
I can remember that and im sorry but he changed plans

SpaceGalaxy 11-22-2006, 10:45 PM This is the bad part: What if we are making an account and don't feel safe about putting in our debit/credit card code?
I think it's crazy. I'm not about to just give our credit/debit card code to a site.
I don't care if it says that it is safe, I just don't feel like they can protect it well.
There are some genius hackers out there...
Neoteny 11-22-2006, 10:45 PM What makes me angry is yavn said this would be released in game @_@
Yavn also said all retired quest items would remain retired.
So much for what Yavn says.
Schmoofy 11-22-2006, 10:46 PM Can we create mule accounts on eBay?
You can, but it's not smart at all. People scam others on eBay daily by making other accounts of themselves, and bidding on their own items to raise the going price. I think something has been done with same IP accounts, but I could be wrong. It's not a smart idea to make a mule account, though. This isn't VMK we're talking about, this is a multi-million visitor a day site.
Twisty 11-22-2006, 10:46 PM The thing that isn't good is for the people who have already found the hidden mickeys in game. They will have no chance in this. And, I totally agree with LAXplaya. This is a kid game, why make it for 18 years olds?

My father has been a member of eBay for 15 years now and has had no problems. Ebay is protected by the ASC and the FBI . This is like giving your code to Fort Noxs
SpaceGalaxy 11-22-2006, 10:53 PM You don't need to put credit number.
Yes you do have to.
It asks for your number, and if you don't enter it, it takes you right back to where you enter it at.
Gobbles 11-22-2006, 10:53 PM I joined without a number
SpaceGalaxy 11-22-2006, 10:55 PM Well, something must have been message up with yours, because mine will not let me register unless I enter it.
sunnyskye 11-22-2006, 10:55 PM I signed up, and my dad has an account, buy I made my own. He has not had any problems I don't think, and to find the mickeys, it said to go to a link then there will be like tabs or something where you say you found the mickey, then you choose where you found it.

I was thinking about this! They will probably lie about their age
ShadowBurst 11-22-2006, 11:14 PM So..
I hope the hidden mickey is easy to find.
And it will be for everyone to get.
Like, if it's on the ebay homepage for, lets say, SpinMarty, it will be there everyone else.
I WANT THAT MAGIC BAD xD
KrazyLuke 11-22-2006, 11:16 PM You have to be 18 to register if you read. Please as 99.95% of us are under 18 talk to your parents about this. If you lie and make an account with false information you can get into BIG TROUBLE.
Julesoola 11-22-2006, 11:18 PM You have to be 18 to register if you read. Please as 99.95% of us are under 18 talk to your parents about this. If you lie and make an account with false information you can get into BIG TROUBLE.
Can't really make false accounts as you need a credit or debit card to register and confirm your id.
Oranges 11-22-2006, 11:18 PM Before you all get over excited, this promotion does not even begin until Friday.
To my knowledge, the "Hidden Mickey" challenge will take place on that site, I presume. And as Schmoofy stated, purchasing an item is not necessary to take part in this activity.
And you should take AlwaysPrincess's advice a lot more seriously than the way some of you are. She's not being "over cautious" - she's been SMART, which is a GREAT characteristic to possess, ESPECIALLY on the internet, MOREOVER sites like eBay. If YOU were smart, you would take her skepticism into consideration.
But before you all go registering, I HIGHLY recommend you talk to a parent about it first, especially since the site asks you for your address and phone number. I don't recommend putting in random information either, because if you put in a random phone number it very well might be someone else's number - ultimately getting them wrapped up into your mischief. Get your parents permission before registering for an account there. A lot of problems can arise from you putting in false information.
I won't be taking part in this activity until I hear something from VMK Staff, or see something on the homepage. If someone is in a room with staff right now, I highly recommend questioning them about this promotion. It may be legit and all, but why would staff release a promotion causing you to register with your complete location details, AND making the age limit 18 or over? On top of that, they ask your for your bank information (credit card number). Besides, there are VMK players who aren't even hold enough TO HAVE a credit card number. That to me, just isn't safe, especially on eBay. It just doesn't sit right with me.

AlphaKoolDude 11-22-2006, 11:27 PM Does anyone have the link to the hidden mickey main page?

greenhpper 11-22-2006, 11:30 PM As I already have an account and have had for many years, I went to check this out. It seems legit enough. To all who feel that Disney is telling us one thing and doing another. They are not. They are simply promoting the Dreams celebration and VMK by using another popular vehicle. Also, your first entry is from any purchase, it does not have to be a Disney purchase. The hidden mickeys are for gaining extra entries into the contest and the codes are a bonus. The codes are free, they are not bought.
The only thing I am wondering is if there are 5 mickeys to be found, will you get 5 codes or only one code per day? Guess we shall have to wait and see.
moviedude 11-22-2006, 11:32 PM Someone asked HOST_Lily about this today but all she said was "we do not talk about other sites on here".
WorkoutDude 11-22-2006, 11:40 PM So this is basically useless, when you register they ask for a credit card #, because you know us kids who play VMK have credit cards.
What a waste of time. :(
greenhpper 11-22-2006, 11:42 PM Oranges,
I think I recall the Stich promotion only being open to persons old enough to have a credit card (to get the online reservations). :D
I agree with princess and you that you should always make sure that you check a site's trustworthyness before inputting personal information. Also, get a parents permission. We once sold a video game and the charge was reversed because the KID bought it using the parents account!! Never did get the game back.
PirateMario 11-22-2006, 11:46 PM Come on People! Listen to what AlwaysPrincess is saying! I have a really bad feeling about this. Hey what if the one who made this whole SCAM up is just trying to get your Money!? Think about it for a sec. you have to put in your Credit Card ID!!

I doubt that is what's going on. Disney and eBay would not do that sort of thing. My father has been a member of eBay for many years, it is for the most part safe. It is protected by the FBI, so stop worrying so much.

Read the first post buddy, and it has been proven to be Liget by many people. This is a real contest.
Go to ebay.com, click the community tab and there is an announcement about the contest.
Next time pay attention a little better

True, but weren't parents aware of the situation? Didn't you have to physically visit your DLR resort to obtain the cards? Besides, if you submitted phoney information, you wouldn't even get the cards. Even still, the credit card number was through a Disney site, and considering VMK does not approve of relations to it with eBay, and since potential scams thrive there, it just doesn't seem kosher to put a credit card number on a site of eBay's nature...

I don't know what kosher means, but I believe that this is quite legit. If not, eBay is gettin' sued BIG TIME.

gigarichard 11-23-2006, 12:00 AM Here is what someone said on Ebay:
It explains the mickeys for those who have questions
Now here's an extra treat for your stocking: For up to five more entries into a day's prize drawing, find Hidden Mickey (http://www.winit.ebay.com/). Every day we'll feature a new picture of a Disney theme park with four Hidden Mickey shapes located throughout the picture. Find the Hidden Mickeys and select their location from the pull-down menus. Every Hidden Mickey you correctly find will earn you another entry into that day's drawing. For a fifth entry, correctly identify the Disney park location pictured. Some of the Hidden Mickeys are tough to see, so look closely!
LAXplaya1346 11-23-2006, 12:01 AM ARG!! I've About had it till now! I Don't Care if it is Protected or if it is not! I Dont Trust it!! And I am Paying attention! But Someone doesn't see that this leads to a Scam!! Therefore they aren't paying attention!!
You are entitled to your opinion and I am sticking by the idea that this is 100% correct.
Good Luck to everyone with this contest. For more information check out the FAQ
Btw i love that comercial on the main page :)
moviedude 11-23-2006, 12:01 AM why is everyone so scared of ebay? anyways when i made my account it didn't ask for a credit card #
Exoxus 11-23-2006, 12:02 AM And each Mickey we find we get a code?

Oranges 11-23-2006, 12:03 AM Nothing is safe on the internet.

Exoxus is quite right. FBI protected or not, nothing on the net, especially something asking you for bank information, can be completely safe.
And by "kosher", I mean "odd". It may be legit, and legal, but the fact that VMK is so against the selling of VMK items over eBay, and now they're setting up a promotion with it involving the use of registering with location and credit card information does seem kind of odd, doesn't it? Especially since kids 10 and below play VMK. Would they be old enough to have a credit card number?

It seems that if we get it right we get a code at the end of the day.. or is it right then and there... Some things are unclear and we will have to wait on the edge of our seats until Friday.

I'm with you on this but it seems they want to AD because most of the population goes on eBay and not only is Disney trying to promote itself by giving away vacations but it is also promoting VMK which is a virtual AD for disney. Plus this can see legit because in order to enter, you need to buy an item from eBay. Seems like Disney made a deal

Methinks that they are trying to get people to buy Disney items off eBay that are not VMK items.
Or.. they don't like eBay at all, but want people to come to their parks. ;-)

Since when? And where?

I agree there. Sure they can advertise it, but the whole "registration process", especially one asking for very personal information, in order to win VMK items does not seem right. But, we might not even have to register to play the Hidden Mickey game. I guess we have to wait and see, but if we do I want to investigate a little more first.
And you don't have to buy anything to play the Hidden Mickey game. You have to purchase an item to enter the actual sweepstakes, but not to play the game.

As I said before, they can advertise the Disney parks, and heck, they can even advertise VMK, but promoting VMK using prizes that can be obtained over registration through eBay just don't seem right.
~Oranges
FantasyBlueBoy 11-23-2006, 12:14 AM Okay, I spent the last 2 hours on this site trying to figure out.
Let me make this clear:
YOU DO NOT need to buy anything for the VMK Stuff, however if your doing the Disney part, that just increases your chances of winning. They will give disney attractions each day, you locate the location of the hidden mickey and you will send it. If you are right, they will send a VMK code.
moviedude 11-23-2006, 12:23 AM i think the reason vmk agreed to do this was because the hidden mickey and vmk prizes are NOT the main point of the whole thing, rather its the free vacations and stuff. the vmk stuff is just bonus. ppl. who dont play vmk aren't going to know what that is or care.
Huggle.Wuggles 11-23-2006, 12:24 AM ok One question about when it starts is where eqactly do we find these codes? Like anywhere or in a certain part?
FantasyBlueBoy 11-23-2006, 12:32 AM ok One question about when it starts is where eqactly do we find these codes? Like anywhere or in a certain part?

I think that means you have to buy something. :(

Please read the first post through and then check out each page for more information. You do not need to pay and you will see why if you read
And a previous post asks where we "find" the codes. You need to discover the 4 hidden mickeys each day, submit them, and then you will be sent a code via eBay to your eBay messages
desertratt 11-23-2006, 12:58 AM ok under the FAQ in the page it says
There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes:
Register for the Sweepstakes by completing the registration form at www.winit.ebay.com before or during the Promotion Period. Thereafter, you will receive one entry into the Sweepstakes each day you make a purchase of any item* listed on www.ebay.com, www.ebay.ca, www.cafr.ebay.ca, www.ebaymotors.com, www.ebaystores.com, www.ebaystores.ca, or www.stores.cafr.ebay.ca during the Promotion Period.* Entries into the Sweepstakes submitted via this method will be logged automatically. You will not see a notification message and no further action is required.
ALTERNATE ENTRY: To enter the Sweepstakes without purchasing an item on the eBay Site, CLICK HERE and provide your eBay User ID.
SWEET !!!
EDIT :Yo Playa I scanned the 12 pages of posts briefly because I don't have time to spend 2 HOURS on this one thread looking at every single post ( sorry fantasy ;) ) because I actually have a life so I'm SOOOO sorry for not reading every page and good luck to everybody .

You obviously do not understand how eBay works.
Let me assure you that eBay is a very safe enviroment in which you can sell things to others and buy things from others.
Yes, some scams and fraud occure, but overall the experiance and site is VERY safe.

Acepowerboy 11-23-2006, 02:14 AM I found this Info in the FAQ part
6. How will I know if my Hidden Mickey selections are correct?
Part of the fun of finding a Hidden Mickey is being able to come back and change your selections as many times as you want through 11:59:59 p.m. PT, as indicated on the Daily Drawing Entry Chart below. Because each of your final selections must exactly match the answers chosen by eBay to count as entries, eBay will keep the exact Hidden Mickey locations under wraps until after all entries have been received for a Daily Drawing. A link revealing the Hidden Mickey locations for a previous day can be found on the Hidden Mickey Web page.
7. When are winners selected and notified?
Potential winners will be selected in random drawings each day from among all eligible entries received based on the Daily Drawing Entry Chart below. All random drawings will be conducted on or about 12:00 p.m. PT by Strobe Promotions, Inc., the independent judging organization, in Hicksville, NY. Judges decisions are final on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Potential winners will be notified in My Messages in My eBay and/or may also be notified by phone on or about the dates stated in the Daily Drawing Entry Chart.

Those are winners for the prize packages. The VMK prize info is as follows...
Every day you find Hidden Mickey, eBay will send a special bonus code to My Messages in My eBay, allowing you to claim a virtual item to use in Disney's free online game, Virtual Magic Kingdom. Collect all seven prizes and be the envy of the Kingdom!
Sounds like you just have to find it. No additional drawing.

You all made good points!!
On the bright side............
You win VMK items if this isn't a scam.
On the dark side............... ( bright, dark, get it? nvm.... -.-' )
This could be a scam `cause VMK didn't have this in their newsletter, and i am a bit confused as to how eBay &&` VMk go together.
AH!!! we'll just have to wait and seeeeeeeeeeee`!!!!

matzb 11-23-2006, 07:25 AM so this means that you have to find the hidden mickey on that site and is there is a differnt prize everyday ?
hmm..is vmk allowing this.just curious bc if we got the treasure detector magic staff would be surprise and could ban us. just curious
Neoteny 11-23-2006, 08:01 AM hmm..is vmk allowing this.just curious bc if we got the treasure detector magic staff would be surprise and could ban us. just curious
This is an official cross-promotion between Disney and eBay. Nobody's getting in trouble. Lots of people are getting prizes.
Huggle.Wuggles 11-23-2006, 08:08 AM What is this treasure detecting magic and what does it do? Ok and yes I feel weird asking this..
StitchMad 11-23-2006, 08:14 AM In my opinion, its the worst thing VMK have ever done...
1) Linked with eBay. They hate eBay.
2) You have to be over 18.
3) It will probably only be on .com Leave .UK out huh?
4) People are gonna get stressed through this, as they are gonne be ver difficult to get.
Bleh, I'm done, looks like another thing i'll keep away from.
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-23-2006, 08:54 AM I think the prizes may be random, like the Pirate game, only the Magic will be more rare( like the sparrow suit).
I registerd through the ebay page. It is real! There is NO purchase nessary for the VMK codes.

Tris-Remix 11-23-2006, 01:18 PM Ok so what I have to do is sign up for an account, wait till tomorrow, get prizes? Do I have to pay for anything and I doubt my parents would let me use our phone number. If i have to pay and give out personal info, then i wuld rather not get the prizes.
LAXplaya1346 11-23-2006, 01:24 PM This magic will be full time im guessing and tradeable. Can you say detector worth 2 pairs of green flips
skipper 11-23-2006, 02:48 PM Uh guys i would LOVE TO DEATH TO GET THESE PRIZES but well if on friday U DONT SEE THIS ON THE VMK HOME PAGE EVEN IF A HOST SAID ITS REAL then dont do it until then yes theres lots of proof but if this was to be fake about 700 thousand people ( sarcasm ) would be ban so i would wait until mondays newsletter or until u see it just trying to prevent bans :-) - skip
smm914 11-23-2006, 02:56 PM guys you can trust this. ebay is too big of a company to try to scam people. plus just look at the page they are offering all kinds of legit trips to disney parks and the whole thing just look official. i wouldn't worry about it.
Neoteny 11-23-2006, 04:33 PM This magic will be full time im guessing and tradeable. Can you say detector worth 2 pairs of green flips
No, I can't say that. Everybody who finds the Mickeys is going to have the magic, so it won't be rare at all.
LAXplaya1346 11-23-2006, 04:38 PM No, I can't say that. Everybody who finds the Mickeys is going to have the magic, so it won't be rare at all.
Everyone who is 18
Julesoola 11-23-2006, 04:44 PM No, I can't say that. Everybody who finds the Mickeys is going to have the magic, so it won't be rare at all.
While I agree it wont be worth flips, chances are these prizes will be generated randomly with one prize (likely the magic) will remain rare
Neoteny 11-23-2006, 04:46 PM While I agree it wont be worth flips, chances are these prizes will be generated randomly with one prize (likely the magic) will remain rare
While that might be true, the way I read it, it looks like you get a different prize each day.
Julesoola 11-23-2006, 04:50 PM then which prizes would be given in double? 10 days, 7 prizes?
matzb 11-23-2006, 04:51 PM i would rather have a differnt prize each day then chosen randomley if they do choose the prizes randomly i would be very very unhappy
trainz 11-23-2006, 05:00 PM While that might be true, the way I read it, it looks like you get a different prize each day.
You are right and Ebay can't scam us if they did there would be a giant law suit on them no joke. So this whole thing is legit i just need to pass it over with my mom since she has an account on there
Neoteny 11-23-2006, 05:03 PM then which prizes would be given in double? 10 days, 7 prizes?
Ok, that's a good point.
Maybe you're right.
JeannieV 11-23-2006, 05:09 PM "Sorry this site is restricted to certain countries."
Sigh... No contest for me! But it looks like fun. GOod luck to all.
daykota 11-23-2006, 05:16 PM Is there a link to the hidden mickey page yet?

Well if there are tons of other international players who can't get codes, maybe we should try to get those peope codes via extra accounts (probably a crazy idea...)!
sacura288 11-23-2006, 05:49 PM woo i cant wait till the 24 :P ... wait thats tomorrow ?! is it haha
fineguyy_2000 11-23-2006, 06:07 PM Making an extra account on EBAY is a BAD IDEA!! The only reason anyone would make more than one account is to commit fraud, and ebay knows this. They have a system in place that looks for the same ip adresses, the same static adresses, ect. When the system finds it they ban any user names associated with the computer and investigate any fraud that might have taken place. I got this from someone who works at ebay, so this in confirmed. Its not worth it DONT DO IT!

WHAT? Oh my gosh. HOW STUPID CAN VMK GET? Doesn't look like you'll be seeing me on VMK a lot anymore!!
VMK: Not sure if you knew.. but there is other continents. They are called Europe, Asia, Africa and Australisia. There is also another continent called America. I'm sure you've heard of the last one, because thats the only one you focus on. Don't you think it would be nice to let other people take part in VMK promotions? THIS IS DISNEY!! THERE IS PARKS ALL OVER THE WORLD!! BUT VMK DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORLD IS!! Is America the whole world? VMK thinks so.
Wow... VMK have gotten stupid this time, REAL stupid.
gabyta 11-23-2006, 06:14 PM wait a second!!! america is a continent right!! and other countries are part of america too, not only the US or Canada....anyway, there are north, south, central america. They only think in North America when they make all the promotions :(
Neoteny 11-23-2006, 06:15 PM WHAT? Oh my gosh. HOW STUPID CAN VMK GET? Doesn't look like you'll be seeing me on VMK a lot anymore!!

The restrictions on contests are usually for legal reasons. Different countries have different laws regarding competitions and awarding of prizes, and it would be far too complex for any contest to conform to every law everywhere in the world. Sorry, but that's just how it works.
sacura288 11-23-2006, 06:27 PM and i was looking forward to it too >_< stupid uk ... lol

Sorry, but that's just how it works.
Disney is worldwide. Therefor VMK is worldwide. How can a competition stop something from being worldwide?
ALSO, does VMK know how long we have been waiting for this magic pin?
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. AT LEAST make it so we can ALL get it. It is the worst thing VMK has every done, and IM SADDENED BY WHAT THEY'VE DONE. Looks like its finally time to make my rant on this.
matzb 11-23-2006, 06:41 PM i think vmk only does events and in park quests for usa only
why couldnt they make the ebay sweepstakes for all countires
RocketMountain 11-23-2006, 07:00 PM I think we all need to remember that vmk is just a game!
PolarFish 11-23-2006, 07:05 PM I think we all need to remember that vmk is just a game!
If you are in the USA, and saying this, well hey! you can say it.
You're not the one who can't play because you live outside of the existance area.
Sdude 11-23-2006, 07:19 PM Is the disney thing free?
and is ebay free?
Ataarii 11-23-2006, 07:34 PM DO we find a hidden mickey on eBay or VMK?
Neoteny 11-23-2006, 07:34 PM Is the disney thing free?

Yes and yes.
gabyta 11-23-2006, 07:43 PM DO we find a hidden mickey on eBay or VMK?
We have to find hidden mickeys on ebay
Stunt 11-23-2006, 08:18 PM So here's the million dollar MOD question?
Can we post the answers here???
Any objections?
Mr.GreenGene 11-23-2006, 08:29 PM I logged into e-bay and then searched for this promotion and got nothing. I mailed e-bay and they have no clue what im talking about. Who said this is a real promotion and not a scam and where is the proof. Every time I try to register it asks for my e-bay name and account password but I am already logged in. That bothers me, it should know Im logged in already. Every other thing I do in e-Bay knows im logged in and doesnt ask for that info. I would be very reluctant to trust a third party site here. GL to those of you who do. Hope Im wrong again.
Sdude 11-23-2006, 08:33 PM goofy when you go to the front page there should be a little banner thats says disney land click it and you get there
matzb 11-23-2006, 08:38 PM does this mean that for every correct entry you get a code ?
Mr. CoConut 870 11-23-2006, 08:59 PM I'm confused, has the promotion started yet? can we find the mickeys yet?
moviedude 11-23-2006, 09:00 PM not till tomorrow can you find the mickeys.
StitchMad 11-23-2006, 09:03 PM I'm gonna ignore this thread, and ignore all trade threads about this.
I'm so unhappy about what VMK has done.
HERE FOR MORE INFO: http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90948
matzb 11-23-2006, 09:07 PM if i cant do this sweepstake for the vmk items im going to be very very angry and i will write to contact us and complain about it !!
Mr. CoConut 870 11-23-2006, 09:17 PM I sure hope treasure detector magic at least will be available after this promotion
Qui-gon 11-23-2006, 10:33 PM I think this will be fun. Although I find it odd, VMK teaming up with eBay. But still, fun.
~Q/S
FantasyJustin 11-23-2006, 10:47 PM People ebay is doing this bc its a great way ti win prizes please just stop all this just have fun doing this come on its going to be fun ok cant wait till tomo when it starts!
LAXplaya1346 11-24-2006, 12:47 AM does this mean that for every correct entry you get a code ?
no, you can only get 1 code for any hidden mickey
I'm confused, has the promotion started yet? can we find the mickeys yet?
no it will start tomorrow
Neoteny 11-24-2006, 12:52 AM does this mean that for every correct entry you get a code ?no, you can only get 1 code for any hidden mickey
But you do get one code for each Mickey you find, and there'll be a new one each day.
timmyastro 11-24-2006, 01:02 AM The promotion is real if anyone thinks its a scam Lol.
http://i15.************/2i9igq8.jpg
Just to prove that so far it is real.

At least, as far as Fin knows.
timmyastro 11-24-2006, 01:07 AM At least, as far as Fin knows.
Well i figure that if vmk at Least Knows about it and says it is real from what they know then i am guessing it should be , instead of a pure scam.
WDWTigger72 11-24-2006, 01:12 AM I know people have been posting links and everything else, but you can actually just go to http://www.ebay.com which is their home site. Then you can click on "My Ebay", and down near bottom of screen there is a link called "Announcements". This lists the actual promotion from the ebay site so its definitely a real promotion...
STEPS
(1) Go to http://www.ebay.com
(2) Click on "My Ebay" button
(3) Click on "Announcements" link bottom of page
You can look under the announcements for "November 21st, 2006" which lists this sweepstakes.
MichelleA 11-24-2006, 01:28 AM So, the mickeys are going to be in the same page for everyone? Or we have to browse the site and it will come up randomly?
LAXplaya1346 11-24-2006, 01:37 AM So, the mickeys are going to be in the same page for everyone? Or we have to browse the site and it will come up randomly?

People are telling you what you need to do on ebay to get the hidden mickeys, and then telling you that your vmk code will be sent to your "my messages" on your ebay account. People are trying to help you, but from your response above I would say figure it out yourself!

(by everywhere I mean on ebay)
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-24-2006, 05:13 AM So, it is the 24th in parts of the U.S. Has anyone played yet?
Jacques 11-24-2006, 05:16 AM It doesn't begin until midnight, PST. That's 2 hours after the close of VMK.
Schmoofy 11-24-2006, 05:34 AM It will start in 2.5 hours, about. I have done a little searching around, and these hidden mickeys will all be on the same page for us to find. I will post more information as it becomes available.

Something tells me these Mickeys aren't going to be terribly difficult to locate.

Hopefully not.
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-24-2006, 06:10 AM I was reading through the fine print.
I THINK....... that you will ge the prize code in 2-3 days, and not right away.
I am wondering if it tells you what the prize is, or if you have to wait until you use it, like the pirate game.
xxjoshua8xx 11-24-2006, 06:15 AM will you get stuff in the mail or something sent home?
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-24-2006, 06:22 AM If you win a real prize, they mail it to you.
When you find the Hidden Mickey for the VMK code, it is sent to you from a message in the My Message section of ebay.
You can find it, by going to MY EBAY.
Click on MESSAGES , you will see a messge with a code in it.
