How to Buy Discount Coupons on eBay

Not many people think of coupons when they think of eBay. But the eBay marketplace has many listings for coupons. Here's a step-by-step guide to find what you're looking for.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Go to eBay.com and log onto your account.

2. 

   Enter the type of coupon you're looking for into the search box and hit 'Search'. (i.e. dog food coupon, formula coupon, diaper coupon, etc.)

3. 

   Depending on the number of results you get, you may want to narrow your search by entering more specifics. (i.e. Purina dog food coupon)

4. 

   Look for listings with reasonable shipping rates. Some listings will even offer free shipping. Don't get stuck with a seller that sells coupons for next to nothing but makes it up with shipping overcharges.

5. If you don't want to wait for an auction to end, look for listings with a 'Buy It Now' option.

6. Purchase your coupons, wait for them to arrive, and enjoy your savings.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are trying to build up your eBay feedback, purchasing coupons for something you regularly purchase are a great way to do that. Coupons are a relatively inexpensive eBay purchase and they will save you money rather than cost you money.
• Get cash back for your eBay purchases at Big Crumbs and Mr. Rebates. (Links in the resources section below.)
