So this is just my little rant for the day.
I purchased a few items on Ebay today, one purchase was for $60 and the other for $25 (both those prices do not include shipping). Ebay has some kind of Promo going on now where you get 10% your purchase plus $10 of shipping. I tried the 10% off on the $60 order and it only gave me $2.50 off. i tried it on the $25 order and it gave me 75 cents off. Im no genious, but im pretty sure 2.50 isnt 10% of 60 and .75 isnt 10% of 25. The funny thing is that these coupons are only supposed to go to the purchase cost before shipping, but if you enter the $10 shipping discount first the so called 10% off they give you is even less than before. EBAY IS SUCH A JOKE! |

I'm growing to despise ebay, myself. I think a lot of their practices are unethical, and as with everything, it's all about the Benjamins. I have a choice, and I'm excercising it to use ebay less and less.

I don't know the promo, but does it say anywhere (including the fine print) something along the lines of "up to 10%"? Often such promotions make it seem like you get what is advertised in huge letters, but it is rarely true. Almost always find that on "clearance" specials. HTS for example will put in big letters, "Get action figures 60% off including Transformers & GIJoe!" Then you look closely and not only is it "up to 60%", the TFs and GIJoe might only be 10% while some other line you don't want is the actual 60%. It's the "legal" bait & switch. If it says 10%, and there are no strings attached, then you need to contact ebay about it.

I HATE Ebay. I used to post 1000 items a week until they raised their prices. Now I'm stuck with $100,000 worth of stuff that I need to sell off and really no where to go with it but there. They have just gotten to greedy for themselves. So anyone looking for toys from the eighties, Magic or Nascar, hit me up.

These practices doesn't surprise me. eBay's fee tactics from the get-go was quite discouraging to sell.
