If anybody has anymore information on their dealings with either ebuyer or Sainsbury’s, can you send it to bitterwallet@gmail.com. Ta!

(Agreed with Chippy. Quite why anyone would be so against Martin Lewis I have no idea – be grateful for what Moneysavingexpert provides you for free to save you money, not spiteful for what you feel it lacks.)

On topic:
Amazingly ebuyer are still selling a Datz 5 Album voucher for £20. Sainsburys should bloody well know better and should be pulling their finger out.

Spent fifteen minutes in Sainsburys last night and finally extracted a refund from them. BUT it’s still on the shelves, the product SKU is still showing as active and the internal customer services number they rang were apparently unaware of the situation. I’ve sent three emails so far and all ignored. So it you want to chance it, be prepared for an argument.

If you were sold it by Sainsburys then your contract is with them and they should be refunding you.

my dad bought his 1st eva pc 4mths ago and then he bought this datz crap of the ideal shopping channel,he hasnt been able to download 1 song,they’ve ignored our e-mails & phone calls & i even phoned the ideal shopping channel but they where of no use,now i read on your site that they have shut down.i would have told my dad not to bother if i’d known that he was gonna buy this,it just goes to show that if you do it legally theres always some bastard who will rip you off and i know he has lost his money.i would have told him to download limewire cause thats what i do….k mcnulty

@Tom – Martin Lewis is a total and utter cunt. Why on earth would anyone want to speak to that inept fucktard?

attention the two gimps above – the scandal is that sainburys is still selling the fecking twelve month subscription even though the firm has gone bust! And when other firms go bust, there are usually administrators who take over and start processing claims…. doesn’t look like there are any here!

good on Bitter Wallet for chasing these cowboys down.

Damn this site really is crap, not only does it love itself so much that i feel like sending these idiots a tub of vaseline but now it thinks its watchdog! Wow you called 3 times? you really have nothing to do with your lives. Pathetic.

I take it Mr Feargal Sharkey will be at the forefront of giving these LEGAL downloders their money back?

“In total we have now contacted Sainsbury’s three times”

Contact Martin Lewis (MSE), he’s got some clout
