And this is hardly the first time they've done that. 🙄

I long ago lost track of how many times I've suggested to ebay that they hire a proof reader to review every announcement they make. They wouldn't even have to hire an employee....they could spend a few bucks and hire someone from fivver.

Please can you explain ??????

TLDR:

If you register for eBay Open and help eBay promote the event on Instagram, you might get sent some unidentified eBay swag in the next 10 weeks.

The complaint is that there is a typo in the rules and the date the winners will be notified is unclear.

Yep and those typos/carelessness are a regular happening........you'd think Ebay would have some shame......and actually have them proofread.....
