Resolved: Deal posts being deleted

489 38 April 1, 2025 at 03:23 PM
This is becoming a recurring theme, but deals will get posted, even being up for days and then will get removed. Usually when the deal is a scam or an error.

This is the third time something like this has happened to me in myabe the last year. While this current deal is a minor situation, I remember the last one being a potentially scary ordeal with alot of money at stake.

This current one, a deal was posted for a 20 pack of hdmi cables for 20 dollars on Amazon, I think the on the 25th of February. It was sold by beach camera and somehow they were able to change the listing title and description on Amazon. They only ended up sending one, so I spent $60 on 3 archaic $1 value hdmi cables. I'm a little worried at this point, the item has been sent back but it feels as if Beach Camera will potentially put up a fight. Somehow they were able to go in and change everything on the listing and invoice. So it would be really nice if I had the deal posting as a reference but nope, it looks like it was deleted.

I dont know. I cant imagine this being a quick ploy by SD and Beach Camera to get rid of old HDMI cables. But this is becoming a normal situation, and I'm forsure screenshotting everything from now on. I can't remember what exactly was the problem last time, but I remember it being very serious. And I definitely feel like the company contacted SD, telling them to remove the post. In which case I just feel like SD could get caught up if things get pushed further.

Even if not, I just dont get why theyre doing this, when it comes off so scummy.

Sorry to hear that happened to you, you should be able to contact Amazon with your issues with 3rd party merchants as well. I couldn't find a thread that exactly matched your description but could it have been this thread, posted the week before?

Oh wow, thank you. I'm not sure if this is the exact same listing or if it was merged or changed, but this is definitely the same item and helps explain some things. I tried every keyword and didnt get anything like this.

Happy to help, I tried searching too, and looked through all the forums including the spammed threads and this was the only one I could find that came even remotely close to your description. We are updating our search tools, which could have been why you had trouble finding it, so bear with us as we iron out some of the bugs.

Hope everything turns out alright for you and you get your refund, $60 for 3 HDMI cables is not slick at all Frown
