Ebay sends out $100 voucher then withdraws it

[bakeandfry]

Well wasnt i excited to recive a $100 voucher from ebay!!
Only to have it withdrawn an hour and a half later due to an error by ebay (booo!!)
Lucky i did not try to use it as i was planning on using it tomorrow.
I wonder who else got a error voucher

Pffft, $50? I only got 20. Now I feel ripped off again! The email told me where to find it in my eBay, it wasn't there. I replied to their email and basically told me the same thing just worded differently. I replied again and asked for a code and they said no, it's in My eBay. Thankfully their FB page gave me a code. Now I just have to work out what I want to buy! I suppose I shouldn't get too excited because it probably won't work.

Same thing happened to me today. I had not had my coffee yet (yes, coffee helps with brain alertness on my part) and realised after purchasing a fitness watch that there must have been an error. I cancelled my order and intend to reorder the same product as a consequence.

It's unlikely to be the same thing.

This thread is about a one-off issue that happened FIVE YEARS ago.
