Just try reading some of the untold posts on this thread about killing the goose that laid the golden egg/ ruining Tesco's coupon policy.The more reports that go into eBay the better.
Last post from me on this issue.

Buying them from an entrepeneur will suit some people, just as others come here and find them themselves for free!

In fact they are selling the coupons, not the pdf.

Tesco will be seeing far more coupons from owners of the pdf on MSE than they will from bidders for the printed coupons on ebay!

And you don't make any comment on it actually being Tesco doing the defrauding (not the bidders)!

In the case of the Finish one probably none going by the T&C's on the coupon, but in lots of auctions they 'doctor' the use by date (Such as on the Airwick & Yakult ones which were heavily doctored date and otherwise) and on the couponnet ones which are 'Personalised' (ie they have a specific name on them) they are selling literally hundreds with the same name on them and in fact one even admitted that all the ones they were selling even had the same 'Unique' ID on them (ie they printed hundreds of the same unique coupon using the printer 'copy' function) then this will kill moc usage for all of us :mad:..... Obviously none of us here are saints (Apart from mad obviously ) but hopefully we keep within the 'rules' and at least only use one of each unique coupon and not copies of it!

As I always say where there is an opportunity the are opportunists! :rolleyes:

Rant over :cool:

That particular auction is now over. (Maybe the seller didn't keep the pdf on his desktop!)

FYI, this seller is from here! All the coupons that she is selling are courtesy from MSE & PTS forum. Cheers for ruined it for everyone.

Quentin , may I ask , do you ever use internet printed coupons, thus helping Tesco defraud the manufacturers?
I've read your posts for a while now and it's never been made clear to me..maybe I'm not reading between the lines.

Really!!! Dare you tell? I'm sure we'd all love to know...BTW...hand on heart I can assure you it def isn't me...had my identity stolen a couple of years back and the person went on a wild round the world shopping trip...the only organisation that would not co-operate in stopping them, was e/bay...the would not remove my name from their database in case they were owed any commission from the poor souls that had been ripped off....my credit card company( Tesco) were magnifcent and I never lost a penny....but e-bay wanted their pound of flesh...I've never( and never will) use their site to either buy or sell,I had only registered my email address with them to enter a competition...beware peeps!!!

Hi everyone, sorry to be the one to break the bubble, visited T's this evening for a few bits.....and to my horror the Finish coupon isn't scanning(it is showing up as 'not allowed'), so don't go bonkers with the printing, until we know for sure(this could be just my store though). Please MM give us a wiggle!!!

Hi I used mine yesterday, but might av change by today (hope not)

Your reply doesn't really answer the question.

Why is someone buying legitimate coupons a "cheapskate"?

How will they kill anything?

There is no difference between buying £40 worth of coupons (ie 20 @ £2) for a fiver and scouring the forums to find the url and printing 20 off yourself (and maybe cheaper taking into account time/printing costs etc)!
