Why is there a discount code on all of my listings? I didn’t add it!

Question

I have never added a promotion to any of my listings, but suddenly they all have a 5% or 10% discount on them. how did this hospital and who pays for it? Will it get deducted from my earnings even though I did not offer this, is it a glitch in the system?

Hi @bendgirl44 Do you have a screen shot of what you are seeing??? I just checked a number of your listings and I don't see any discounts being offered.

That should have said how did this happen not hospital… Does eBay add promos to listings and cover the cost? If it’s coming out of my earnings, I certainly don’t want them there!
