please help me as I am at an absolute loss at the disservice being done to me by eBay!
Back in October I opened my ebay app and saw a promotion that peaked my interest. It was entitled 'Sell Now Gift Later' and it said that if I sold an item(s) I would receive a credit from eBay for the amount of the selling price (so basically I would receive double the selling price I received! Great deal!).
I had not sold an item on ebay for several months or longer but decided to find something to sell specifically because of this offer. I also low-balled my selling price because I wanted to sell it fast before the Nov 17th deadline, which I did, plus I would receive the coupon for the equal amount too. The item I sold was item# 333386647697.
Yesterday I followed up on that promotion because I hadn't received the credit yet. In rereading the promotion it appeared my credit/coupon was overdue, it should've been received already. I called eBay customer service and they basically called me a liar saying that there is no such promotion and I was scammed by a fake banner ad.
I spoke with Rodel and after getting nowhere with him and wasting 20minutes I demanded to speak to a manager. Eventually Joanna joined my call, she would not disclose her location but when pressed she provided me with a reference number for my call.
Joanna would not even listen and continued to speak over me not allowing me to get a word in edgewise. I am disgusted to be screwed over like this!! To make an offer and then not stand by it in the way eBay is doing is SHAMEFUL!
I demand my $19.90 CDN credit coupon! Anything less and I will make it my mission to share this terrible experience each and everywhere I can and I won't rule out making an appearance at the eBay Canada head office to cause a scene! I lived a short distance from there.
eBay has already dropped a lot in my eyes following this experience! Does anyone have email contact at eBay and/or know if there is an ombudsman I can contact?
