Hey folks, let's not all end up holidaying in e-bali over this.

But some time back (maybe about a year or so) when a link was posted that clearly stated invitation only and several of us accepted from the link posted, you may remember there was talk we might end up being charged ??  Myself and several others rang CS to clarify and were told definitely not, if you were able to accept the link, and it appeared in you SMP Summary, all was ok.  So I think there are many members who possibly remember that and at least try the links - I always do if they are for stores, haha, so haven't for a long time, well not since January.  I very occasionally received an email, but in most instances the link was on the boards l o n g before the email ever showed up, so I used the link more often than the email and never had a problem.  By memory every link posted, even though it stated 'By Invitation Only' still worked.

At the time I phoned, I was told there must be a technical issue & they were going to alert the relevant dept. so perhaps eBay have have now after considerable time fixed the problem ?

PS  I'm also pretty sure these & similar offers always say by invitation only don't they - I can honestly say I think I've never seen one that doesn't

Edit  : Slow typer at the best of times, but having keyboard issues at the moment making me even slower - 8 minutes behind you cats, lol - but I have had the same experience as you with freebies
