Coupon Scam

[zathlynr]

I recently tried to purchase a set of tires that cost $800 plus, the promotion at the time was 20% off all items $500.00 or more but the promo code didn’t work, so I contacted the seller & they assured me that those item I was buying did qualify for the discount. They informed to contact eBay customer service so I did, the customer service rep couldn’t get the code to work either but assured me that they would honor the discount even it the promotion period ends before they get the issue rectified. I contacted them again because they never got back to me, the rep this time said she would have to escalate it up & have an urgent attached to it. Needless to say that it’s been 3 weeks & the promotion period has expired and still not a word from eBay. Has this ever happened to anyone?

I have only used a promo code a few times and they always worked. One of the codes was the kind I had to manually type in and the others were the kind from the seller's page where the deductions were already in the price showing.

Did you already buy the tires hoping to get the discount honored afterwards, or are you still waiting to buy them with the expired code?

Hi 

I was able to get a courtesy discount, it was not as much as the initial offer but it was better than nothing.

Those promos have conditions out the wazoo.  I have never gotten one to work.  I had one two weeks ago.  It required you to pay with an Apple pay AP.
