    Lol. It's either just a COMPLETE scam, or it's going to be an email saying "Did you know eBay has coupons you can use? There you go! Saved you money!"

  • send me $1.95 and I'll tell you how to save $1.99 on wasteful ebay purchases.

      It's a good thing I'm not in a hurry for my $15 discount because it's been an hour and I've heard nothing.

        Posted down below FYI.

  • This will be the best $2 You have ever spent. I will teach you how to save more than $10 US dollars off Your ebay purchase, or the equivalent in Your currency!

    Interesting, so I'm guessing this is US only, but then they convert to other currencies to "see how much you'd save in yours". I'm guessing they just give you a set of instructions to follow which gets you money back, it's probably just a list of things you can use, like Cashback, ShopBack, Mint Surveys for money etc. It sounds like some sort of pdf guide or similar.

    One Review has:

    either lying or unable to follow basic instructions a 4 year old could follow

    They have sold 66 units, and only few mostly unrelated negs, so might be legit

    Thank You !

    Well worth the money!

    I cant sop laughing.

  • Please Note: *Only one per person, You will not be able to use this method more than once!
    (Its not a voucher, code, hack - its a simple, legitimate method)

    The last line is the interesting part…….. Earlier in the ad they say its a $10USD 'credit' somehow, that isn't a voucher. Guessing its open a new account using some special referral link and get $10USD.

    • My guess too. Is there a credit card or PayPal MasterCard or similar that gives credit on sign up?
      It could even be something like a timeshare offering a voucher for attending their seminar!

      • See below, it was a 'cash rewards' scam.

  • why is this kind of seller still active in eBay. anyone with common sense can see this is a dodgy seller.

    $15 off Purchase

    Alright it finally arrived. Basically it tells you to signup for a Cash rewards program.

    It gave me a link to this website: http://www.theonlypageyouneed.com/10-off.html
    And the password: tententen101010

    If you don't want to login, here is a screenshot of the instructions

    Interestingly, this password gives me access to view how to make $300 a day and also 71 weight loss tips that really work

    Make $300 a day!

    The $300 a day page is quite long. I'll try to summarize

    • Sign up to an affiliate website (where you get paid per click to the page). The OP used a fat burning product in their scenario
    • Shorten the URL
    • Use the pictures and a website to make a 30 minute video (just 5 pictures in a slideshow). Make 4 videos (the same video, just different filenames)
    • Upload the video to YouTube with all the right tags
    • Create various YouTube accounts and upload a different product 4x to each account
    • ????
    • Profit

    You may ask how I much earn. Well, I won't tell you how much, but this method has brought me over a year of good income from the past, and I don't upload videos anymore.

    Look I'm not even going to bother with an explanation. here is a copy of it if you are bored at work. It's SFW.

    • Thanks for posting and taking one for the team!

      So its a cash rewards scam.

      • To be fair, that is a reasonable amount of effort to go to for $2.
        I don't think anybody could pay their $2 thinking they were going to get something more magical!

        • too much for a $13AUD saving…..

  • Well the sellers ebay title states $15 discount on ANY purchase, but instructions say you need to spend $25.00 usd. Sounds like not as described case to me.

    • Paypal refund you reckon?

      • Im no expert but id go via ebay first.
