I have been an eBay member for over 10 years and have always been able to use codes to save a bit of money here and there. Recently every time I try to add a code they all come back with errors, from ‘this has expired’ to being the ‘wrong code’. For small purchases it’s a bit irritating but over the last month or so I have made some large purchases totalling over $1000 and have been unable to use any kind of discount. One of these ‘wrong code’ errors was a code that was actually directly emailed to me not just sourced from the internet which makes it even more frustrating.I don’t know what’s going on at eBay headquarters but they are really shooting themselves in the foot trying to recover from their loss of the online monopoly. They advertise sales and discounts but when it comes down to it, i end up spending more money because the discounts don’t work or are exclusive to more expensive listings of the same item. Their focus has shifted to new buy it now commercial retailers rather than what the site was built on of auctions for sellers who don’t already have their own e-commerce setup. And don’t get me stared on sellers fees...Does anyone have any insight to why discount codes don’t work to what they are advertised to do.
