[quote name='zanbeak']1. stop lying to people. it sells for about 40$ on ebay. period.
2. and the guy above saying amazon bans people who are "troublesome"? WTF? if i search for an item and see a promo then spend 20 minutes looking for the second item in the deal and order without knowing they changed their promo without me knowing, then it is FRAUD on their part. they LURED me in, got me order and pay, then allege that they made an "error" or "mistake". also if they Ban your account call Amazon headquarters in America on the phone and tell them why they did it. They CANNOT ban you unless you did something wrong. Contacting CSR is NOT an offense. If they Discriminate against you for any reason or harass you refer point 4 below
3. the guy above that said promo credit you enter at checkout is not refundable is WRONG. contact CSR and tell them to give it back to you in the form of amazon account credit. if you REFUND something ANYWHERE in america you recieve EVERYTHING you used in the form of payments including credit card, cash, gift cards, etc. anyone who refuses to refund you is committing Fraud
4. those who commit Fraud on amazon or elsewhere in the united states should be referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs in your State. companies are RESPONSIBLE and LIABLE for their actions, and they will be held ACCOUNTABLE and if needed prosectued for violations of consumer and trade law.[/QUOTE]
While you certainly went overboard with your remarks I have to agree on at least one point. The folks here (and you know who you are) who are working the rumor mill and spreading the fairy tales about banned accounts, please shut up. Few closed accounts over the years does not mean that Amazon is treating their customers as ducks at an open season. Amazon is one of the best companies when it comes to Customer Service and standing behind their customers. Any retailer (Wal Mart, Best Buy, Target, you name it) will ban you if you try to cheat the system repeatedly and with total disrespect to the vendor. This does not mean that a simple call to CR arguing the semantics of the offer is going to be treated as a declaration of war. The offer, as it read, had a lot of folks under impression that each item would get 50% discount. I read it the same way and was a bit surprised when saw final discount at a checkout page. Once I understood that Amazon made a honest mistake, I was fine with that. But calling CR would not be cheating. Amazon messed up formulating the offer and if I would feel that this was a bait and switch (present one offer, then when you are ready to submit order substitute it with less favorable one) I would call too.
So stop spreading the fear around this forum about Amazon. Treat them with the same respect as they treat you.
