Confirmed by eBay — promotion cancelled.

I missed out on this Black Friday deal, so i thought I’d have a look to see if I could find any codes for Cyber Monday and found a Terms and Conditions page for the code PCYBER.

There’s no start date in the Terms and Conditions, but I think It’s pretty obvious it will be tomorrow sometime.
Trying the code now brings up the following;

Looks like this code isn't ready yet. Please try again later.

        Hasn't been confirmed that it is cancelled.

          Regardless of whether it is to be cancelled for business intention, or due to a business failure, it will be cancelled now as co-ordination between vendors has not happened.

          Kogan has (around @10:30), begun sending promo mail to its optin lists promoting 'Cyber Monday' (using links that point to its webstore, not eBay).

          The links targets would always be the Kogan store, but maybe the piggy-backing on Cyber Monday is a deliberate reaction to something they as a vendor have figured out or been told around what is happening (or not happening) over at eBay ;-)

          eBay checkout msg still reading:
          "Looks like this code isn't ready yet. Please try again later".

          Cyber Monday was not created by eBay it is a digital equivalent to the Black Friday sales and is popular at many online retailers including Australian ones over the last few years. Kogans sale has nothing to do with eBay.

          @Agret: Indeed. But because this encumbant online retail champion chose to run this 'concept', the fact that they had the whole thing tied up by almost any marketing measure should be of no surprise to anyone.

          The whole idea behind doing this (and then cancelling out) is probably just to hi-jack everyone else's ad spend and drive traffic back to fleabay.

      When's the last time eBay pulled a code (with a terms and condition page) BEFORE it even went live?

      Exactly, never (to my knowledge).

      A positive vote for a deal like this is a given, as there's usually no issue.

        Probably happens all the time. It wasn't an advertised deal, they just had an unpublished T&C page that someone managed to snoop.

        • BradH13 on 27/11/2017 - 11:24

          None of their deals are ever advertised before they go live, bar the Black Friday one which was only mentioned on ACA the night before. They're all found via snooping.

        Not really. However I know those site-wide discount is quite costly as they are not really seller-funded. They had a good run last Friday so they probably think it's enough.

        • eug on 27/11/2017 - 14:06

          @banzini: eBay and PayPal are separate, independent companies. eBay is basically giving up nearly all their profit from final value fees which is no doubt the biggest earner for them.

          You do know they used to be one company from 2002 to 2015? EBay decided to split off PayPal but it's presumably still owned by the same people.

          Because they used to be one company from 2002 to 2015.
          They also have a five-year agreement which ends in 2020.

          and they're all more expensive than paypal.

      Not sure if Amazon will be any cheaper but the customer service (returns etc) is 10/10 whereas eBay will just happily leave you bleeding in the dirt by the side of the road.

      • ceebee on 28/11/2017 - 01:53
        +6

        Customer service for US Amazon is 10/10 but the US has a very different consumer law regarding returns and customer service. You can return practically anything, to anywhere, for almost any reason. It's not an Amazon thing, it's a US thing. My fiance is American, and when I lived there with him, he laughed at me because I had a total phobia about returns. Once I bought some shoes, pulled the tags off and wore them out for an hour and they started really hurting me. I was sad I had to give them away or resell them, as they were really uncomfy. I told my fiance about it. He told me to return them, and I didn't want to because 'they won't let me, I wore them!' and he thought I was nuts. He is used to just returning everything for any reason. Almost all Americans are. He dragged me back to the store, and while I sat there, scared I'd be challenged on the return, the guy was like 'no problem.' And gave me my money back immediately. It was surreal for me. Their CS is also stellar because in the US, customers are ridiculously augmentative and entitled. A lot of businesses reward bad behavior by bending over backwards at any complaint, and I feel the culture isn't the same in Australia.

        That said, Americans absolutely take advantage of the leniency, there.

        Basically, what I'm saying, is I'm not sure if Amazon Returns and CS will be as good and easy going as the US, or if they are going to adopt Australian type returns and practices. I hope its like the US, but a lot of companies that have come through have adopted AU returns because they are more protected, etc.

        … Sorry for the rant, lol. And yes, ebay does leave you bleeding in the dirt by the side of the road.

        Yeah sounds like it … however I wouldn't call it leaking if they decide to make a page available on the internet (publicly findable and not secured) with the applicable coupon code.

    So are we getting any codes today or not every retailer is cashing in on this for one last day yet one of the biggest out there offer s***.
    I have something i added to basket went on here to see if up and running and i find its canceled, if i have not already used my 5% code i could use that.
    But i be bit annoyed if i do use 5% off and the spring the 10% later today.

    Someone forgot to tell sellers to raise prices. So they cancelled it.

      I think they are Ok - Dell is adjusting prices down at this moment.

    Nope, eBay chat will not have a bar.

    Even though my rep told me PANTONE was still working, no consolation prizes for the mistake.

    And I guess they don't have to. They make enough money, we're just ants.

      I do… when I bought a $600 2nd hand monitor yesterday as "buy it now" instead of bidding on it at $350 with 0 bids thinking it was going to cost me $540 today (-10%) … so yeah I appreciate you mentioning that … cause $30 dollars I can get back is better than nothing!!!
