For those of you who buy coupons from Ebay...

[Nina1]

How do you do this? Is there a specific seller that you use? I usually print the coupons from coupon mom, but lately, they haven't had any coupons for things I use. I also use the Sunday paper. I'm curious about Ebay, though. Thanks for your help!

I looked at coupons on E-Bay last night after reading posts about buying coupons. I just didn't think it was for me so I can't offer any insight, sorry. Good luck finding what you need!

I only buy very high value coupons & when they are selling many of them together. Otherwise, not usually worth it to me.

Example: $2.25 coupon for dishwasher tablets. And they sell maybe 10 or 20 coupons at a time.

Thr problem with Ebay is once they become a "hot" coupon... they start to cost way to much! I typically buy coupons that are things I would normally buy alot of, like bottled drinks. I buy alot of propel (gatorade water) , as it is often (always) free. So, I occasionally go on there and buy the coupons that have a far exp date. I know that there will be a sale where they cost me pennies. I have bought the high dollar electrasol coupons before, but I buy them AS SOON as they come out. Without fail, one of my stores has had a BOGO sale or CVS has had an extra buck deal while those coupons are out. I but they asap because I know I will use them. Alot of that, is just from experience.. its hard to always know what is going to be "hot"

Don't buy any 'free' product coupons or printables off eBay, they are usually forgeries.

I buy the cheapest lot with a Buy It Now from a seller with a high feedback number and high percentage. I hate waiting for auctions to end for coupons so I rarely bid on any that are auctions. If the coupons are for an item that I need to buy soon then I also look at the location of the coupon seller and choose the cheapest one closest to me so that hopefully the mail gets them to me in a couple of days.

I buy dog food coupons on Ebay and have done this for a couple years. I buy $8 off coupons for a bag of Iams dog food. Usually I buy in lots of 5 or 8 or 10 because I have a Beagle and he can't eat that much at a time (some are lots of 20). This makes the Iams dog food about $3 a bag. I do have to pay about $5-$8 for the lot of coupons so I should take that into account. The ones I buy are free shipping.

I only buy from someone who has 100% or very close to that and have never had a problem.

I just search on ebay for what I'm interested in. And just like any other ebay seller I buy from, I check their reputation and feedback. I've only bought coupons off ebay 3 times. And had positive experiences each time. If you'd like, I can post or pm you their seller id's.

I agree with everyone else. I search for specific coupons, not a mixed lot (grab bag so to speak). I look for sellers with high feedback ratings and cheap shipping. I will only do a "Buy It now" on coupons because usually if you have to bid on it once everyone has bid the price up, it's not worth the savings. I prefer to buy 15-20 coupons together and will usually split them with my sister or leave some on the shelf at the store for others. It's just not worth the shipping if I buy less.

I have a Beagle and he would eat the whole bag if I let him.

Be very careful about coupons that seem to be too good to be true. There are fakes available on Ebay. Just do what several posters have suggested and check a sellers feedback before buying. And if you have any doubt, don't buy it.

Thanks for the info.! I've never bought from Ebay before, so all your advice is most appreciated!
