I think trusting a web user on the good faith that they won't share the discount code is like asking a troll to stop trolling. I love the cyber security paradigm that says that every user input you have to treat it carefully.
You might want to liquidate your company and restart again.
- rabbitz 10y agoYea for anything faith based a rule I follow is to never trust with anything more than I'm willing to lose. This is the equivalent of giving out your bank card and pin to someone and asking that they kindly take $10 out and no more please. Doesn't matter if the bank rep tells me that is the only way to give money to the customer, I'd sooner take the hit to my reputation than to risk such a terrible worst-case scenario as the OP seems to now have learned.
- hbosch 10y agoAgreed. The seller here thinks he can scrounge up some legal recourse because Amazon "told him" he can't make single use codes. The correct action in this case is to just abandon the coupon code thing entirely, not to make an unlimited code and ask the buyer not to share it.
