eBay Stars

[Spinal]

So I got a letter in the post (yes, snail-mail, hand-delivered, printed-on chopped-trees type letter) from eBay mentioning something about being a valued member of eBay...

In return, I got a £10 voucher (quite appreciated; it just paid for another wallet ) and a "special" number to call should I have any problems with eBay.

Anyone else got this? Viral marketing or are they actually trying to improve? I might call the number with a complaint just to see how they handle it...

i got this a while back when i became a powerseller... now that i sell through ebaymotors (essentially a seperate enterprise) i got stripped of it and they tell me I can no longer call the helpline!

not that i ever used it..

I got a tenner voucher too. At least they do give now and again

 

[jaymanek]

well i find these things a bit of an insult really..

I was spending between 3-600 a month on ebay fees and they send me a tenner... cheek..

Bank manager came by yesterday... between our businesses we pay barclays over £1000/month and he came in and gave us £50 cashback... i really felt like punching his lights out but he genuinly seemed to think we should be grateful for this exceptionally ironic act of gratuity..
he actually said " we want to thank you for being loyal customers for 26 years and so we have decided to credit your account with £50 from us" with a huge smile on his face..

grrrr

Who else would give you free money? So your telling me you rejected the £50??

 

[01goodwina]

I wonder what eBay would do if you made an add an it was for the number?

how many people would bid for a number to make all your ebay troubles go away?

 

[jaymanek]

well they woulndt get any help as the first thing they do is ask you for your id to check eligibility.

 

[Spinal]

Really? Wow, didn't realised they were so "secretive" about it!

I now REALLY need to find something to call them about
