eBay Coupons Codes – Where to Get Them.
October 3, 2008 – 8:42 amHow to Get eBay Coupons.
Coupons from eBay sent by email are a rare site indeed, and only a few will ever get them. These coupons are just like cash that you can use towards anything you buy on eBay – the only conditions being that you pay using PayPal, and that you are using eBay in the USA, Canada or the UK.
There are two ways to get eBay coupons.
One – you can just wait for an email.
Of course, if you just wait, you’ll be waiting for a long time. The trick is to make eBay want to send you one, by looking like you’re the type of person they want to entice to come back. After you open a new account, you can buy a few things and then don’t purchase anything else for awhile, then the chances are you might get a coupon of some kind.
Go Searching.
However, the best way is to search the web for coupons that you can use on eBay. This can be hit-and-miss, as eBay don’t always have an offer on, but when there’s a valid code you can guarantee that it’ll be everywhere within a few hours. Just type “eBay coupon codes” into your favorite search engine, but be prepared to pick through some rubbish. You might find you have better luck if you use a more obscure search engine, where people haven’t taken the trouble to get the results.
If going through search engines is too much for you, then just keep an eye out at any community forums you frequent, where someone might just post one. People that use eBay’s own forum at: http://hub.ebay.com/community; will usually have the best chance of getting one. It can be fun and educational to chat to the regulars there too, so you really have nothing to lose.
Redeeming Coupons, Which Way is Best?
First make sure your coupon is valid, by checking to see if it has a long code to it or bar code on it. All you need to do, is pay with PayPal as usual for the item you want and use the coupon towards it. After you choose PayPal as your payment method, you will notice a heading that says: Coupons, Gift Certificates on eBay and eBay Anything Points. Select that field and type in the coupon code, if the code is really long you can use the copy and paste function to make sure you don’t miss a number. Then click on ’Redeem’ and your all set!
Don’t worry about causing problems for sellers by doing this, as eBay just pays them for the item as usual. Coupons are good for sellers as they attract more buyers to eBay, meaning that they get more bids on their auctions.
eBay now has a new resource they offer to their customers that are interested in more affordable shopping and that is that, customers can now purchase items on credit. From coupons to credit, eBay shopping is now easier and more exciting for everyone.
