The hell? I'll put my credentials up against anyone!
Who knows what logic ebay uses to determine eligibility on these offers, but it is a TOTAL FAILURE.
My account is over 21 years old. I am a 'Top Rated" seller with a high transaction count at 100% positive. I have made ebay thousands of dollars.
I used to go on a buying spree when these offers would come in.
Oh well!
Lately I buy and sell things elsewhere at lower prices. My ebay prices are marked up to cover their high fees, and I'm sure all other sellers are doing the same.
It was nice, but it killed their margins and made them less profitable.
Ebay used to be a $30-35 stock when they did those coupons. Now they're $45 even after dropping from a high of $80 during the peak.
Advance Auto Parts used to be a $90 stock. Now they're $180 after a high of $240 during the peak.
So yeah, I'm bitter, but I get it. They can't afford to do those promos anymore. Especially if people keep buying regardless of the discount. They don't want SDer's business.
When i worked in retail we had this really cheap laptop we made no money on. People did work on commission, and for various reasons, they did not want to help customers with that laptop cuz they didn't make any commission on it. So these people buying the cheapest unit we sold would make a big fuss over not getting helped immediately sometimes. But the customers didn't realize we didn't really care about the sale. We wanted customers we could actually make money on.
