Wait, I have been shown the error of my ways.

You're right, that makes no sense whatsoever.
As a side question, does anyone (aside from me) use the thumbs-up vs thumbs-down link at the bottom of emails like these to say whether 'I've found them useful?' Maybe that is the best way to bring to the attention of the folks who curate these deals that the deals don't always apply to the receiver.

It's the "Your opinion matters" part I can't get past without a sneer and a guffaw. Which is why I rarely bother.
What does "helpful" mean anyway in this context? The "survey" itself is poorly conceived. I choose thumbs-up, yes, this email was helpful in pointing out how badly designed and managed eBay's promotions can be. OK, we'll keep sending out confusing emails. Or I choose thumbs-down, this email was not helpful. OK, we won't send out announcement emails like this anymore. These guys need to go back to the drawing board.
If they actually allowed a comment, or a few specific and pertinent yes/no questions, and actually communicated back to users in general on the results now and then, I might be more inclined to respond.
I had to look through my inbox until I could find an email with the option to respond on the bottom. It was one from ebay.com incidentally. This is what it took me to when I clicked it.
