Stop the Way to Fab sale fraud show- I know it's a scam

I applied the coupon of 100% off on one item, twice. Once on 14th March night and once on 15th March morning. The coupon was applied successfully but the payment doesn't succeed. The item cost was Rs.279. And so the payment I had to make was Rs.0. According to you, I should click on Pay Now button to confirm the order at Rs.0. Which is where I think the cheap tricks kick in. It fails always! Giving an error as "Service Unavailable". Immediately, I try the 20% coupon, apply it and press on Pay Now. Oh Wow, it proceeds this time. Whom are you bluffing Ebay? How can the 100% off coupon fail and this 20% off coupon proceed? I've realised that the whole promotion is a scam, and you guys do not want to actually give off stuff even to loyal customers like me. Lost faith in Ebay by a considerable margin.
And to add to this, this happened with my brother as well. He too got the same error for the 100% coupons. I'm pretty sure we were within the top 40 to apply and confirm it. This is what I hate about a few companies. They run cheap scams! This is no different than those advertisements on TV, which sell stuff which promise make you taller or slimmer etc.

Correct guys 100% and 80% doesn't work. I entered exactly at 8, no use. what a fool trick.

Its a trick which is cheap and unfortunate. Inspite of this, they propagate the same again and again.

They could have simply put 10% offer...rgt

I have same experience for 100. 80 and 40% coupons. These coupons really does not work. Every time my efforts ended with the computer screen of "server unavailable" or "Coupon not active" or "Time expired".

How can "coupon not active" can come? then why coupon posted on site?

But, in all this coupons of 20 & 10% works very fine.

This promotional offer is fake and cheating with customer.
Ebay has good reputation so this type of cheap ideas are not required.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if Ebay has rectified their flaw or did something else but the 100% coupon worked for me yesterday after all!! It worked for my brother as well, twice!
Looks like it's not a complete fraud! It worked after all these tries...
