SCAMMED by eBay seller primepromotions :(
I bought a 1-year YouTube Premium subscription. When I activated it, it even showed an expiration date one year from that day, so I had no reason to think anything was wrong.
About 3 months later, it suddenly stopped working.
By then, it was too late to leave eBay feedback or open a PayPal claim. I still tried with PayPal, but they said it was outside the time limit.
The seller has been on eBay since 2006 with 191 perfect 5-star feedbacks. When I first bought it, he was very responsive and helped me activate it. Right after that, he asked me to leave a 5-star review, and I did.
Looking back, I can’t help but wonder if that’s how this works. Buyers leave positive reviews while everything still works, then the subscription expires after a few months when it’s too late to warn anyone else.
I’m so bummed out that EBay and PayPal don’t help at all. eBay said this is not covered while PayPal said it’s out of the 30 day window for the dispute 😢!
