Misleading information in the deals of the week mailer

[randeep_sb]

Dear Ebay team,

In the the Ebay newletter sent out on 10th August, in the Deal of the week link (http://shopping.ebay.in/deals/) you have listed Samsung Galaxy S2 9100 Smartphone at 13% discount. The price mentioned is Rs. 28,490. Screenshot - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2284779758026&set=o.91190629059&type=1&ref=nf

The MRP price of the phone as per Samsung site http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/smartphone/index.idx?pagetype=subtype_p... is Rs. 30,498.

With 13% discount the price should be Rs. 26,533.26 and not the mentioned Rs. 28,490 (which works out to be 6.5% discount and not 13% as indicated in Deals of the week Page).

I hope you will take note of this and rectify the mistake.

Thanks,
Randeep

Dear randeep_sb,


Thanks for providing us with the screenshots. Website of Samsung indicates “Best Buy” and not “MRP” which are not the same.

"Best buy" is the suggested price to buy the products across different sites and not necessarily the MRP where as our discount % would be on the MRP.

Regards,
Seema
