Voucher failed

[sheilakangaroo]

I was emailed a $10 voucher to spend on an Ebay Paypal purchase. I have a programme that puts a key beside real Ebay emails and this one had the key. I bought a swimsuit and applied the voucher. It seemed to be accepted and took the $10 off the total but when I went to do the final payment I was informed this email address is not connected to your account and asked to pay the full amount. I would not have bought the item if I had not been given the voucher but I was now forced into paying the full amount because I bought it on a "buy it now". The statement about the email address not being connected is false. It is my connected email and the voucher was sent, by Ebay, to that email address. The fine print on the voucher email says Ebay will not be responsible for failure while trying to use the voucher. I feel cheated by Ebay and want to warn others not to fall into this trap/scam/whatever it is. If it is not a scam and someone knows what I did wrong, please tell me. i would like the $10 back.

WOW, nice way to communicate with a very experienced member that volunteers their time to help other members (like yourself) on the boards.

FYI they have often admitted to being wrong or missing part of the question (as have many of us).......................

About 4 days ago, I got the very same $10 ebay paypal voucher. I used it on some thermal paste, and it gave that iconic error message. I then gave paypal a "friendly" phone call, and the woman instantly gave me $10 credit to my paypal account.

It's not a scam. Just make one phonecall and explain to them about the error and they will give you the $10 instantly. I spent it, and I'm a happy Goomy :3
