Displaying large discounts but with usage limits create a false sense of a good deal. Their most common misleading coupon is "-75% OFF!

The pictured example shows a misleading coupon code from Shopee Malaysia (though Shopee also does this throughout the regions in which it operates) with "30% off" but multiple usage terms: "Capped at RM9" (USD 2) but "Minimum spend RM20" (USD 4.50). | |||
This effectively means the customer has to buy within a range of RM20-RM30 in order for the coupon's advertised 30% off to be true. Past RM30 where the RM9 cap amount is hit, the coupon no longer provides 30% off (i.e. the customer can keep increasing the amount purchased, but the discount is capped at a fixed price, meaning the percentage discount drops below the advertised 30% number). | |||
