I really was not sure where to post this, but since I am so Mad and seeing red at this auction I thought this would be the best place.
Just ran across an auction on ebay that reads:

Up for Bid: Coupons $5.00 off any $25 purchase at Target - I will send you the coupons via email and you can print as many as you want for your bid. I've used them at Target many times, the bonus is that you can use it with Manufacturer's and other Target only coupons!!! The coupons expire October 1, 2008. REMEMBER: You can print as many as you want!!!!! I'm charging .25 handling fee for each transaction, but other than that FREE SHIPPING - NO REFUNDS, UNLESS this auction is not exactly as described. I guarantee that the coupons will work, as I have used them in several Targets.

Now that is bad enough, but no where on this description does this person mention that it is $5 off of a $25 Toy Purchase.

Am I missing something. Is there a IP $5 off of any Target Purchase??
I emailed the person to ask if it was really the Toy coupon.
Here is the link:

That is a fraud coupon. It is the same as the toy coupon and it has been altered.

I have contacted Ebay and talk with a live rep. Hopefully it will get pulled.

I had someone on another site selling the same FRAUDULENT coupons. I even told her they were for toys only seeing how the barcode was the same and she said MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! I was like wow!

aside from contacting ebay, there is not a whole lot we can do about these auctions. I emailed target corporate with the link to a similar auction (selling the toy coupon, claiming it wasn't "just for toys and could be used on anything in the store") and, as far as I know, they did nothing. I'm not sure if they just don't care...or there's really nothing they can do.

it's really pathetic what people will do to make money...

see, if it's apparent that the coupon has been altered, that is fraud and that auction should be pulled. but auction in the OP didn't mention that it was the toy coupon, didn't show a picture, etc. I'm assuming it's fraudulent...but I have no physical evidence that the seller is passing off the toy coup as a plain ol 5/25 - KWIM?

I bought on ebay the $5 off $25 coupon and the person sent me a link to this site. I would have never found this site if I had not paid the $0.17 for the "coupon link"

probably the same person I emailed. I got a rude response too.
