discrimination against old phones
Summary: mi-lion raises a concern about eBay offering discount codes that require scanning a QR code, which is inconvenient for those with basic phones. They question if this reflects eBay's disregard for a significant portion of people who cannot use this technology.
Hello,
And a simple question :
Several times eBay has offered me a discount voucher, but to do that you have to scan the QR code, BUT ; what do you do when you have a basic phone without scanning like 34 % of French people?
Is this yet more proof that eBay management refuses reality, and does so disrespectfully toward a third of people ?
Please let me know.

all phones that have a camera can read QR codes. To do that, you just need to download a QR code reader that you can find on the Play Store (for free).
