eBay $25 supplies credit promotion 6/08 till 6/30/2020

jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 31,614 ✭✭✭✭✭

I received an email on one of my eBay counts offering me a $25 credit on eBay shipping supplies. The coupon code is "thankstoyou"

On a whim, I tried it on my other eBay account and it worked there as well even though I hadn't gotten the email on that account.

I don't know if it will work for you, but it's worth a try. There's no minimum purchase, so you can get some free stuff if it works.

    Looks like one needs to have an eBay store for it to work (didn't work for me). It's a useful coupon for those that do have some sort of eBay store.

    I'm about ready to go into the box business! I'm not going to turn down free boxes...since I figure I'm paying for them in a round about way. But my basement is starting to fill up! Since the free shipping supplies started...I've accumulated 1000's of boxes!

    LOL. I have hundreds of bubbly envelopes. But they don't spoil. So I got 200 more for a total of $4.84. Pretty hard to turn down.

    He's just throwing a tantrum because I suggested he put "garbage" coins all in one thread rather than start multiple threads. He's not commenting on the eBay supplies.

    Since I start so few threads, this was the only recent one he could find.

    I use my quarter order for supplies about every 5 quarters. There's only so much of this stuff that you can really use.
    I've never been one of those people that runs to get something just because it was attached to the word 'free'. That word doesn't even belong in the English language.
    Nothing is 'free'.....Not a thing, a cigarette, a doughnut, a cup of coffee or a shipping envelope.
    I suspect this promo will run it's course after the abusers trash it.

    Well, that's sort of true. But you get the benefit for paying the store fees. So NOT taking them is like throwing money away.

    Air jacket (padded) envelopes now available in all three sizes (presale) for those with the $25 offer. Promo ends Tuesday night. You gotta commit to buy before you can plug in the $25 coupon code during checkout so be sure you got the emal from ebay that you are eligible. Email will take you to the coupon code. I believe it is for ebay stores only.

    if someone would take a moment and show me what i'm missing. aside from a couple thank you stickers, what is on the ebay supplies list that i cannot get for free from the USPS?

    maybe there is a chance some of the odd size boxes could be used but anything really numismatically related that those size boxes could be used for would go into a flexible usps bubble flat rate or a small flat rate box.

    i'm itchy to get something as you guys got me all excited about missing out~!

    don't know why but i am NOT in love with the stuff with ebay all over it. partially a personatlity thing as i like thinks w/o a bunch of advertising/logos etc.

    Are you kidding? I use the 4x4x6 boxes every time I have an order of 2 or more slabbed coins. They have been a Godsend for me since I started selling my shell collection. I also use them when I have a group of coins that would stand out in a padded envelope(which I never use on the outside) because the box doesn't scream coins inside like a padded envelope! They don't weigh too much either. 2 Slabbed Barber halves in a padded 9x12 envelope inside the box weighs 6 ounces on the dime!

    That is what I usually buy. But they do have things like tape and other packing equipment. It is a bit overpriced by itself, but if you have the free credit you might as well use it if there is nothing else you want.

    I was just cleaning up a bit and discovered that I have 600 eBay bubble envelopes piled up. LOL. I need to sell faster!

    Because they are "free", I sometimes use two at a time to double wrap slabs. Because it is free, it is actually cheaper than the giant roll of bubble wrap that I have.

    You could also use the small boxes to go 1st class for light things. USPS free boxes are automatic priority.

    bubble wrap envelopes that can be sent first class.

    Yup. I use a few of the eBay supplies:

    1- Small padded mailers are great for raw coins which don't need significant protection so much as they just need something better than an envelope. I still use higher quality padded mailers for slabs, but I've saved a ton over the last few years by not needing to pay for the mailers that raw coins use.

    2- The larger padded mailers come in handy for bulkier items that don't fit in the padded mailers I pay for, but are light enough to qualify for First Class mail. I could use a Priority Flat Rate padded envelope, but I can save a few bucks by using the eBay padded mailer, and maybe an additional piece of bubble wrap for a bit more protection.

    3- Fiberglass-reinforced paper tape. It's the same stuff you get anywhere else, but here it's free.

    4- I don't use a lot of shipping tape, but I haven't had to buy any in a long time since I get theirs for free. Even if I use extra to be absolutely sure the package is secure, I have a ton of it and it's not costing me anything to use.

    I wouldn't fight to get the free shipping coupons if they weren't provided, but as long as they're there, they're well worth using.

    you guys don't have concerns about having ebay plastered all over the tape and boxes?

    for some reason it "seems" to me to have please steal me written all over it. But if you guys haven't have any problems with that, knowing between you all, quite a lot of things get shipped, i guess i could just be paranoid.

    It's not too large, so you can tape over it (with dark tape) if you don't want the eBay logo to be seen.

    I cut out my shipping labels so they are large, then cover "ebay" with them.

    A package is a package and is used for nothing but merchandised. It's not like it has "Rolex" stamped on it.

    98% of ebay items are not coins. An ebay envelope is more likely to contain office supplies than coins.

    Why would you think an ebay package is more likely to bf ev stolen than an unlabeled identical package. In either case, a thief ignored iit's not a Christmas card, but also doesn't know what it is.

    idk, notiriety? same with amazon etc. i'm logical most of the time but now and then.....

    kablooop!

    edited to add. i would have jumped on the bubble mailers, especially if they had around 3 different sizes but really the one thing i wanted. ugh

    I think a small bubble mailer with an eBay purchase is much more likely to have a $3 piece of crap than a $300 coin. If anything, it's kind of the opposite of "steal me." That very nondescript package is probably more likely to contain something exciting. All of my labels say "Photographs Do Not Bend" on them. I guess that doesn't work for the occasional one that has something oddly shaped, but for a small package with a slab or two? Could just as well be photos with a piece of cardboard.
