Ebay Commits 'Coupon Fraud' On A Massive Scale

Even the E-Mail address I was given is fake = says 'not monitored'

Tried 2 report 2 FBI... https://www.fbi.gov/tips

Forwards 2 'IC3' so filed there: https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

Ebay seems 2 play a 'ratio game' with their massive crimes, like each different $cam they do something like "$teal 20 million, then pay10 mil. in criminal fines = 10 mil. in profit"?  As a 'big corporation' they just think they can 'get off clean'???

Here is a 3'rd party link to a copy of the coupon:

https://dannydealguru.com/2019/06/13/ebay-seller-bonus/ 

& here is a link to EBAY'S OWN WEB SITE where they acknowledge the coupon exists:

https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2019/0612/coupon40.html

If you 'Feds' reading this want to 'catch them in the act' for yourelf, just monitor some of your own Ebay accounts (which are easy to open if you don't have some already) & watch for coupons.  Click the 'Activate Offer' buttons on them and do what they say to 'qualify' for their 'rebates' and whatever else, and see how they try to $cam you!  =P  Then there is no issue of 'he said she said' yes?  U R 'The Law' right?  They issue different 'offers' like this many times during the year so you won't have to wait very long to gather plenty of evidence for yourself to mount a big case, which could profit the government law enforcement millions of dollars via fines for their many crimes yes?  It's a real 'WIN-WIN!', both for us lowly 'sellers' AND you law enforcement folks.  =)

When I called them, 2 different levels of 'customer support' DENIED it exists.  When I try to send them details the E-Mail address that they told me to send to just bounces back to me saying 'this address is not monitored' ~ so they think they can go on denying it exists, even when their own web site verifies it's existence! = LOL!!  What a $CAM!  And on top of all that, today on August 20 they demand I PAY THEM more 'Seller Fees' rather than THEM paying ME the balance they would have owed ME instead! LOL!!  Also keep in mind U can bet if they DID admit it the coupon existed, they would pretend 'you didn't activate the offer so it does not apply'.  Yes I DID see it, and I DID 'activate' it. It's just a simple click ~ which apparently they ignore, since they delete everything trying to 'cover their tracks' of evidence... to a point.  I guess they keep it on the site so they can have 'plausible deniability' 2 pretend they didn't really delete it as part of a $cam, but 2 go to 'tier two' of the 'cover up' to claim 'it was a user error & they didn't click it to apply the coupon' = BULL$HIT!  

So clearly the CRIMINAL INTENTION of Ebay is to TRICK sellers ( = felony wire fraud applies?) into listing more stuff &/or at lower prices or whatever because the sellers think they won't have to pay as many fees and will make more profit, but then Ebay turns around betraying them, DELETING THEIR OWN MESSAGES ABOUT THE COUPONS (in turn denying they 'accepted' them 'because they never even existed' and charging the sellers extra FEES instead, rather than the sellers EARNING some EXTRA money via the coupon Ebay promised to them.  What a bunch of CROOKS!

And to top of the crime they did against ME, Ebay also does this to tons of other sellers too!  See some of the many links to 'blog lists' below that a quick google search brings up, with many other victims explaining how EBAY COMMITS THIS SAME KIND OF COUPON FRAUD SCAM AGAINST MANY OTHER SELLERS!  Here are some links to download page saves of the coupon itself, both from Ebay's own web site AND third party site that ALSO verifies it exists (yet over the phone, which seems to be the 'only' way to ever reach them, Ebay DENIES it!):

http://paulrand.coolpage.biz/Ebay_Coupon_Saved_From_Independent_Web_Site.zip 

If you save them to your comptuer and 'extract' the files, you can open the 'HTM' files in a web browser to view them & verify everything.  Link information to the source pages online where they were downloaded from are also included.  =)

To reach Ebay via phone (where 2 levels of 'customer support' denied to me that the coupon even exists) I dialed this number:
*67 1 (866) 305-3229
That number information was displayed on this Ebay page as their contact information:

Subject: You Guys Owe Me $40 To 'Bernadette' Or Other 'Promotion Offer' Provider At Ebay =)

I am owed about $40 for the promotion I signed up for.  Here is some text from the 'promotion' message Ebay sent to me.  I have saved copies of it for evidence to forward to the FBI for investigation & prosecution of Ebay, but since YOU guys are $CAMMERS U will just pretend it was faked. Unfortunately 4 U it appears TONS of people get $CAMMED by you through this kind of CRIMINAL WIRE FRAUD Ebay is engaged in at the highest levels.  Here are some links to prove it:

https://www.google.com/search?q=ebay+commits+coupon+fraud+removes+offer

https://www.google.com/search?q=ebay+deletes+coupon+offer

https://www.google.com/search?q=ebay+deletes+coupon+messages

https://www.google.com/search?q=ebay+deletes+coupon+message

So, I realize no matter what EYE do U will just pretend somehow 'your proof doesn't apply' or some random B.S..  Whatever!  You guys owe me $40, and because you $CAMMED me with your CRIMINAL WIRE FRAUD I'm reporting this to the FBI & looking into a class action law suit.  It would be nice if you paid people like me who you owe money to, but obviously your INTENTION is to TRICK us, then delete the offers from your 'official' mails, etc.  What an evil pack of CROOKS you are. You should really adjust your attitude.

I think when the FBI awards people in a criminal case like that the victims get multiple times what the criminal (you) tried to rob from them, so I look forward to the day... maybe months or years? from now when I get a 'magical' check in the mail for a nice amount as their 'class action settlement' =)  I have ALREADY received things like that SEVERAL TIMES as Fleabay has LOST many class action suits before.

Whatever the case, you guys still owe me the $40.  Here's some detail:

Here is an ad with an $85 'buy it now' price =)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/143312361957

Here is the prior ad that ended on June 28 & was automatically relisted at the link above, so should apply to their $40 coupon:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/143300354325

"The Promotion will begin on W‌ed‌ne‌sd‌ay, J‌un‌e 1‌2, 2‌01‌9, at 0‌0:0‌0:0‌1 PT (1‌2:0‌0A‌M plus one second), and will end on Su‌nd‌ay, J‌un‌e 2‌3, 20‌19, at 2‌3:5‌9:5‌9 PT (1‌1:5‌9 PM plus 5‌9 s‌eco‌nd‌s), for listings on www.ebay.com (the “Promotion Period”). Sellers who create listings during the Promotion Period, complete one or more final sale(s) and receive payment in full for the item(s) from the buyer by 2‌3:5‌9:5‌9 P‌T on Su‌nd‌ay, J‌ul‌y 1‌4, 20‌19 will be eligible to earn a single Coupon."

"Relists or renewals that occur outside of the Promotion Period will not qualify for the Promotion."

The listing was first created before the deadline & automatically renewed within the coupon period so it should apply.

Here are some Call details:

Call made on August 19, 2019 @ 7:03PM, duration 22 minutes, 27 seconds (cell phone tells me these things =) & they gave me the E-Mail address to contact with details: customerhelp@ebay.com , which turned out to be a FAKE address!  'Replies' from it say 'not monitored'.  In other words, NOBODY READS STUFF SENT THERE = a trick to WA$TE our time writing anything to them and providing proof of their frauds, so they can just 'ignore' it all.
The 'transaction ID' I was given for this 'situation' by the 'customer support' gal named 'Bernadette' was: 1223933885917 , & she said she would forward my 'situation' to the 'Selling department', who (according to the first gal she forwarded it to) claims 'there was no promotion of that kind at that time', etc. (lies!) Seems Bernadette & Ebay are guilty of conspiring to commit wire fraud.

Side-Note: Is it legal to use fake names when doing 'customer support' for a financial-related issue?  The names they give me don't make a lot of sense, as both of these gals sound 'Indian' yet they give me names like "Bernadette" & "Ruth A.".  I doubt those are their real names.  It may be relevant legally because it is a situation dealing with money and charges yet if the names are fake it could be part of another 'deny responsibility' scam to pretend that I never talked to whoever, or maybe there is a law that 'financial transaction people' must give their real names & faking it is a crime all by itself ~ I don't know.  It may even be a situation where employees are told 'if they want your name or other verification just make something up' (like the fake E-Mail address where they never read incoming messages).  I'm happy to help you look up my cell phone records if you want to verify that I called there.  =)

A similar 'your fault not us' situation happened recently with 'Rabobank' where the branch manager of the Grover Beach, California branch Lettie Fuller insisted that I owe hundreds of dollars in 'ACH overdraft' fees on charges I never even authorized (so the bank could try to steal fake 'fees' from me illegally), and I even offered to show her on her own physical paperwork that she provided to me with the simple little check box on the forms she gave me to stop any form of 'ACH' (among other things) long before any of these 'charges' took place, & she would just ignore me like she was not interested in seeing what SHE gave me to prove what I am telling her = so typical!  She continued denying it even thought it was her signature on the forms right there to block stuff! = LOL!  Now THAT is corruption!  =))  They tried to steal from me but they failed.  They closed my account because I didn't pay their 'extortion' in essence.

Rabobank & their 'partners in crime' Ebay & Paypal were breaking about 7 different laws (according to my google searches on this stuff =).  I reported them to the 'CFPB' (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) where they 'moderated the dispute' and the bank lied about everything & nothing happened 2 them = lame.  At least they stopped trying to go into 'collections' blaming me for THEIR ridiculously criminal fradulent 'ACH Overdrafts' $CAM!  It was a situation where Ebay said I owe them some money, so they charged it to PayPal, who then tried to pull it out of my checking account without me authorizing anything.  They may try to do this AGAIN so I am noting all of this here as a possible 'prediction' LOL  They try to 'extort' you after tricking you then mess up (destroy) your bank account in the process, etc.  They really cause a lot of damage to a lot of people & should be prosecuted for this kind of stuff.  It has a 'ripple effect' across other businesses and other accounts.  I haven't even linked this PayPal account for this Ebay account related to the 'coupon incident' to my other (current) bank so I don't know how Ebay & PayPal could try to mess it up but maybe the criminals there at Ebay & Paypal will find a way to wreck even more of my stuff ~ who knows!  Here is a page with more details all about that kind of stuff ~> https://justpaste.it/2e9uk & if you want to get even more information you can request it at 'balkanguy2@live.com'.  Movin' on...

________________________________________

Update: I called AGAIN on August 20, 2019 around 5:36PM, duration 8 minutes, 2 seconds, & spoke to 'Ruth A.' (they REFUSED to give me a last name) and they also REFUSED to give me any E-Mail address for ANYBODY ANYWHERE who could actually READ an E-mail they could receive from me so I could send them a link to this page you are reading right now: https://justpaste.it/361l5  I then told them to write down the link as I read it out to them, and that I'm really doing them a FAVOR by notifying them about this problem because they need to get this stuff on track.  I asked them to verify they were writing it down & they said 'I am typing it sir'.  I then asked them if they could go look at the page 'right now' and they told me 'It's not coming up in our browser' LOL!!  It's all just deny deny, avoid avoid, pretend it doesn't exist, with the coupon & whatever else, yet it's on their own web site = RIDICULOUS!  Their crimes are so OBVIOUS!  Talk about a 'slam dunk' case!  =))

& ON TOP OF all the other CRIMINAL KRAP they R doing, now they add even MORE CRIMES 2 it trying 2 charge me listing fees & 'threatening' collections (extortion?) when they should instead be paying ME some money via their 'coupon' they claim never existed.  Here's a message I got 2day from their 'system' 2 my Ebay account internal 'E-Mail' interface there (brackets) added for privacy.  This is a public web page U R reading here =) ...
