Reader Nick tried out this fab coupon, and the experience hasn’t left him all that keen to keep buying things on eBay. “Especially frustrating is that items for sale on eBay are time sensitive,” he wrote to Consumerist. “I committed to buy something expecting a simple coupon to work, instead I’m out an extra $10 i didn’t wish to spend.” The specific item he wants might be available today, but unless it’s in the inventory of one of the big-name retailers now selling on eBay, he has no way to know for sure that the item will be available whenever eBay gets around to fixing the coupon.
Oh, yes: fixing the coupon. eBay customer service told Nick that they’re working on fixing the problem–another customer who wrote to eCommerceBytes was told that the promotion was more popular than expected and ran out of funds, and the team needs to get more funds into the relevant account. Okay. Here’s the thing, though: they can’t go back and give customers a retroactive ten bucks off. Nope. Nick was told to keep shopping, and maybe the coupon would work eventually. “They instead just told me to keep on trying with no ETA to speak of,” he writes. “I guess they’d like me to keep on buying items without knowing if a simple coupon will work or not.” Maybe what they meant is that he should try to purchase items with a fixed “Buy It Now” price instead of bidding in auctions, but it’s ridiculous to tell customers to just keep trying to make purchases for the next week or so until the coupon works.
We sent a request for comment over to eBay, and will update this post when (if) they get back to us.

Before we get to the Hated 8, let’s wrap up today’s Round Two matches that brought us to this point.
It was another buzzer-beater for Comcast’s betrothed. Fresh off its narrow 51-49 upset of two-time reigning WCIA champ Electronic Arts, TWC showed some signs of exhaustion, barely edging out newcomer Koch Industries by an even tighter margin. It may be the slimmest victory in the history of Worst Company bracket play.
While TWC’s merger partner on the other half of the bracket has been breezing through the competition, these two heart-stopping wins in a row don’t bode well for the cable company’s chances of making it to the Final Death Match.
Standing in its way is another first-time contender, Monsanto, which… well, let’s just get to that recap:
After handily defeating Wells Fargo in Round One, did lawsuit-happy seed giant Monsanto have the momentum to beat up on a second bank in a row? Since you’ve presumably read the headline, possibly looked at the pie chart to the left, and maybe perused the above bracket, you know the answer to that question already.
That’s two rounds in a row in which Monsanto has been able to put a pretty decisive thumping on a major national bank. Does that bode well for its Quarterfinal match against Time Warner Cable? Or are TWC’s narrow victory margins not an accurate indicator of just how much people really hate the cable company?
OTHER QUARTERFINAL BOUTS:
There are three other match-ups that Consumerist readers will vote on in the next two days…
•COMCAST VS. VERIZON: Comcast has made shredded cheese of its competition through the first two rounds, while Verizon was barely able to beat AT&T for its Quarterfinal slot. Which of these dominators of the communications pipelines will survive to fight in the Final Four?
•BANK OF AMERICA VS. WALMART: The most-hated bank in the country has never won a WCIA title on its own, in spite of three consecutive appearances in the Final Death Match. With EA out of the way, is this finally the year that we ship the Golden Poo to BofA? Or will Walmart finally get over its longtime curse that keeps it from ever being a true Final Four contender?
•SEAWORLD VS. CHASE: Aside from EA’s early ouster, the biggest news of this year’s tournament has got to be the out-of-nowhere success of first-timer SeaWorld. The theme park’s Round Two match against perennial semifinalist Ticketmaster wasn’t as decisive a win as its Round One destruction of Johnson & Johnson, but still a solid showing for the rookie contender. Could SeaWorld join the ranks of companies like EA and BP that won the Poo in their WCIA debuts? It has some strong competition in front of it before we can start discussing that possibility.
Quarterfinal voting begins again in the morning!
A Tesla shouldn’t go “vroooom,” CBS.
One of the main reasons someone might purchase a Tesla is part of what makes the vehicles what they are — being an electric car means having an engine that’s quieter than the usual grumble and rumble of a traditional car. So anyone watching 60 Minutes this past Sunday might’ve been surprised to hear what seemed like an electric car with a nasty cold.
CBS issued an apology today for footage of Tesla car that had been dubbed over with the sound of a traditional engine, reports the Associated Press. The online video of the segment has since been corrected with the proper audio.
The network said an editor made an “audio error” in dubbing that sound in over the much quieter Tesla car during a segment on company founder Elon Musk.
Jalopnik.com was the first to notice the discrepancy, noting that the sound resembled that of a revving motorcycle, which is even farther off the mark.
Apparently you can’t just close your eyes and hit a button the Fun Board Of Sounds anymore. TV really has changed, y’all.
Here’s the now-corrected footage — notice the pretty darn quiet engine at the 40 second mark:

This antibacterial soap from Avon currently contains triclosan, but the company says it will phase out the chemical’s use going forward.
Today, the folks at Avon announced that it will begin getting rid of triclosan from its line of cosmetic and personal care products. New products will not have the ingredient and Avon will replace it in products that currently contain triclosan.
The company says it believes that the chemical is safe, but decided to remove the controversial ingredient “based on the preferences expressed by some of our customers for products without triclosan.” According to Avon, only a small number of its products are affected by this decision.
Other companies that have vowed to phase out triclosan include household products titans Procter & Gamble, whose website still says it aims to phase out the chemical by 2014, and Johnson & Johnson, which began its phase-out of triclosan in 2012.
“It’s a hormonally active chemical that has no business being in cosmetics and personal care products,” says Janet Nudelman,co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and director of program and policy at the Breast Cancer Fund, in a statement following today’s announcement. “But triclosan is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unsafe chemicals in cosmetics. We want Avon to adopt a comprehensive policy that declares chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other adverse health effects to be off limits in cosmetics and to support stricter regulation of the $71 billion cosmetics industry so that everyone is protected.”
