Ebay CHEATS me "again"!!!!! : DIWALI PRO(scam)MOTION

[raja_gopalank]

today as expected (after a lot of delays!) the ebay website has posted the gift selection banner in it's homepage.

but what an EXPECTED surprise.
- I clicked the link and was asked to verify my ID
- I was asked my account verification question
- after i answered the question a code was sent to my email id
- I received the mail which had the code (within 2 minutes)
now here is the surprising part
- as i copied the code and entered submit
SORRY AN ERROR OCCURRED
close this link and please try again after some time

so i did the same but the next time i entered the same page it shows

SORRY YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROMOTION
what the hell!!!!
(since i was not allowed to type abusive words)

now ebay has proved it's innocence (nonsense) again!!!

I have made purchases worth rs. 54398/-

I am playing fare!

but EBAY tried to prevent me from buying the laptop by holding my money for 10 days (during the offer period)
still i managed to buy it with help from my friends!

so now they are saying that
I AM NOT ELIGIBLE?????

oh ok?

does any of the customer care representative have the GUTS to reply this post?????

let's see what they are gonna do?

be aware consumers! cheatEbay has its mouth wide open for you!!!

Yes. I faced the same issue. Called customer care. They said that they asked us to send the screenshot of the error to inappeals@ebay.com and have the mail proof. Please note that send it from your ebay registered email id. They extended the redeem date and trying to rectify it.

I have made 2 purchases totalling 40 thousand and everytime i try the link for redeeming my diwali gift, it throws up screen that i am not eligible for this promotion .
My item id's are
370688359809
181022631852

I have already sent out multiple mails to Customer support but no reply for any of them. I am not sure what ebay is intending with this unprofessional attitude.
Kindly if some customer service representative is reading this post, assist with the problem.

I participated in the Dusshera Promotion by eBay and bought
Karbonn A21 (190738546194) + Nokia Boom Headset (190732371091) worth Rs. 10108 by Paisapay ID 32388666008 on 29th October and used the promotion code DUSSEHR009 for a Panasonic Cordless Phone.

I also purchased Apple iPhone 5 16GB Black (140876294773) worth Rs. 46500 on 30th October via Paisapay ID 32391298978 using Promo Code DUSSEHR018 for Samsung Star 3 Duos.

I also purchased a HP Envy 6 Laptop (170921779167) worth Rs. 40411 by Paisapay ID 32397742458 on 31st October using Promo Code DUSSEHR017 for a Sony Digital Camera S5000.

As per terms and conditions on eBay Dusshera promotion page http://deals.ebay.in/dussehra2012/ the gift items are supposed to be delivered within 15-45 days of purchase. It is almost 45 days and no information has been provided to me with regards to shipping of free Dusshera Gifts. I spoke to eBay customer support advisor Mangesh today who advised me that the eBay terms and conditions are incorrectly mentioned and that the gifts will start dispatching after 45 days.

Please look into this matter on a priority basis.
