List & Sell 10 Items for Free - A COMPLETE SCAM

The following popped up in my promotional offers today -

List & Sell up to 10 items for free on eBay now!
Pay no insertion and final value fees on up to 10 items. T&Cs apply. Learn More
Start: 10/09/17 13:02:42 AEST
End: 11/10/17 23:59:59 AEDST

 

I thought great, I have a few extra items to sell.

I listed 10 items.

I checked my account - I was charged listing fees.

Two of my items sold - I was charged FV fees.

 

I contated Ebay and asked what was happening.

I was told that they had no record of this offer.

I explained that it was on My Ebay under promo offers - not an email which might be dodgey, it was actually on my account.

 

Sorry, no record.

Utterly hopeless.  Their customer service is a joke.

 

Beware if you receive this offer.  They are not bothering to honour it.

And what can anyone do?  Ebay have become a law unto themselves.

A lot of issues with free listings ATM.

And the call centre in Phillipines just isn't proper customer service.

 

Try speaking to a supervisor and provide screenshot of offer, they have been known to give credits in light of all the glitches ATM.

Thanks, I just sent through a screen shot.

Will update the post on what happens.

It seems that everyone just accepts this rubbish from ebay.

If a big retailer failed to honour a promotion it would be all over the media.

But ebay always seem to get away with it and no one comments

If you read the boards you will see that no-one is just accepting the current ebay glitches....they are fighting tooth and nail to get them fixed but there comes a time when no amount of contacting ebay does any good at all.

In view of the fact that everyone who phones ebay gets a different answer thre is very little point in continuing to waste your time and energy doing the same thing time and time again.

I got that one too! 

 

Haven' t tried to use it yet though. Did you read the T's  & C's? Were you eligible for the promo?

 

I was also offered the same promo on an account I haven't sold on for ages - it definitely didn't qualify.

I have been on live chat where they told me there is no issue,it's just me

 

I have phoned and was told they only just found out about it 'that same day'  (told them nonsense, I reported it the day before and was told it was just me)

That day I used the 'call me' option. Was told it was 'just me'  told them I am well aware that is not true and so are they

Was disconnected (funny that)

 

Next day, I used the call me option again. Was again told they had only just been made aware and would take a couple of days

 

Another member on the boards was told a few weeks

 

Not sure how anywhere here is just accepting it, but I am most certainly open to your ideas of what more we can do

 

 

It won't fix it, but I am posting on Facebook about the issues (my own page)

 

I have many folks on my friends list so I am letting them know and asking people to pass it on they need to CHECK before they list what they are being charged


Ebay is no doubt rubbing their greedy mits together with glee over all the $$$$ they are making with people who do not notice the charge or who don't /don't know how to do anything about it

Before you commit to list the item, it shows you whether its free or charge $1.65 . Just dont list it , if it shows fees.
As I only got 1 free listing this month, I backed out of any more with fees.
They did say there was a big glitch.

It may have started as a glitch, but I believe ebay are now testing the water to see who will list with fees.

It has now been 9 days since this carp started for me. I have contacted ebay several times, and all they say is list and we will refund. Yeah right, that's why the forums are full of people still waiting for their refunds.

come on ebay - enough already

I have listed several new items and revised a couple of others over 3 accounts. No problems here nor have they even tried to bill me. Seems they must know I am broke and no point asking for more money 😛

They can test all they like, no way would I pay fees, as I only sell cards.
I have 2 other IDs and they are fine, although you have to use your 40 monthly free ones, before the others kick in.
I have tried stores over the years and not worth it for what I sell now.
