Comments on: Cyber Monday Leaves Some With Only Rotten Eggs http://www.centernetworks.com/cybermonday-paypal-newegg-issues Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:50:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Danny http://www.centernetworks.com/cybermonday-paypal-newegg-issues/comment-page-#comment-15451 Danny Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-15451 I have a feeling this will come to a class action lawsuit against Newegg. Newegg didn't mention anything in their newsletter about the limited amount of funds or sudden cancellation of the promotion. It just said the offer expires 10/28/07. Now the thing that makes Newegg look so very guilty is that when the funds ran out and Paypal canceled the promotion, Newegg changed the graphic being loaded for the email to say "offer expires 10/26/07" <strong>but the deal was already dead for 10/26/07!</strong> So even after PayPal had canceled the promotion Newegg let people believe the deal was still good. This is very wrong. This act proves they could have just as easily put a banner across the image saying "PAYPAL HAS ENDED THE PROMOTION EARLY" or simply "EXPIRED" but instead they chose to let people believe they were still getting their 20% off.

Far better than any bank even, I can call up to 9PM with issues and talk to someone. I'm sure that payments issue was bad, but I bet they resolved it. Not saying they're perfect, I just think their reputation is far worse than their reality. I don’t know any other website I deal with that actually has phone support anymore.

I Emailed them several times and the Email I received back from them had nothing to do with the Newegg PayPal scam on November 26, 2007. Yea Scam that is the right word.
