Hey Fleecebag NOT INTERESTED.
It seems like every other day there is a sitewide flash sale. When is eBay going to realize that flash sales are not conducive to sustained purchases by buyers?
The rationale baffles me…they get a boost in their bogus GMV, but suffer a net bottom line loss of 5%+ on one day’s activity.
it’s like that old SNL skit about Citiwide Change Bank…except the bank in this case loses money on making change.
It was completely useless… Did they even do it?
Every time I tried to use the code it would say it couldn’t be used yet.. and then it would say it has expired.
A complete waste of time.
