Goofbay goofed with voucher code

June 3, 2008

This post was written in June 2008; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

Goofbay have written today to all their members who received their latest newsletter apologising for sending them an eBay discount offer which wasn’t valid.

A member of the Goofbay team received a voucher code from eBay that he believed could be shared amongst all eBay members. He had one of their design team create the newsletter and emailed it to registered Goofbay members.

Sadly the offer was restricted to the eBay users that it was intended for and users soon discovered they’d have to pay full price for the purchases they’d made on eBay. Even the eBay landing page specifies the offer is limited to certain eBay users. Goofbay will have done ok out of it though - the voucher carried an affiliate tracking link ;-)

In the email Matt from Goofbay said “I would like to offer my sincere apologies to all who this voucher did not work for. Goofbay is a well established and respected eBay affiliate and we have no intention of misleading you.”

Goofbay have a range of free tools for both buyers and sellers, and make their money through the eBay affiliate program which pays them for buyers and sellers they send to eBay.

 

(Although we’ve shown the voucher above please don’t assume it will work for you unless it was specifically sent to your eBay account)
