Unfortunately they can't be used on coins. Wasn't hard for me to find something I could use with my 2 accounts though!
Edit, guess I could add the code if some missed their email. It's HAPPY25

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I was sort of waiting for the next 5% offer to buy a certain article of clothing on my Watchlist, but this saved me way more on it!
No happy for me.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Doesn't work for me....

Never worked for me on coins or paper towels!
Apparently the promotion is for long-time members. Not sure what the cutoff date is, but I've been on eBay since early 1999.
I think I started my 2nd account in 2012.
I got the coupon but I didn’t see any restrictions on it.
Edit: I’ve been a member since mid 1999. And I see the restriction now.

I got one, and joined in 2000.
Me too...
This is going to cost them a bundle.
Most will buy an item around the $25 range.
I see slight increases in sales, but nothing spectacular, nothing to recoup the $25.
What does Ebay gain from this?

Goodwill.
Got some shoes, 2 pair! Only cost me $8.98 out of pocket with the coupon. Initially tried to purchase 3 Franklin halves but wouldn't work in coins and paper money category. Thanks for the heads up!!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
I guess I'm not special enough.
Goodbye eBay. Should I start a thread? 
Member since Oct 1999, and I got the offer. The funny / scary thing is the email included lots of "milestones" and account information, like I apparently made my first "best offer" in April of 2005.
I got a laugh when their account summary showed I had made 91% of my purchases in a category where I couldn't use their coupon.

It's a little creepy that they keep information from 15 years ago.
I got one, too. Member since 1998. I guess I'll find something to buy for $25 that isn't a coin. Jerks.

Was it in your Ebay messages?
I got one, have been a member since 1999 and they even knew what the first thing I sold was along with the first thing I bought. I used the 25 dollars on a $28 PSA 6 3 Stooges Card and had to pay about 6 dollars total including tax and shipping. It was a pleasant surprise.
Talking about ebay's history. I made my 1st purchases and sales in 1998. According to them my 1st purchase was in 2005 and 1st sale was 2010ish...deleted and don't want to go look!
is it abuse of the system if someone were to put $1k coin into a teacup or suit jacket and then list it for $$1010?
although i concede, it may be better in a 5-10-25% off situation.
With ebay managed payments the coin would not be covered.
cool, got it on my 1998 account

I've been a member since 1998 but got no coupon.
Yeah, no one else does that...
Got mine. Member since Sept 1996.
Got mine, member since 1998. Used mine to plumbing supplies.
Wall of HONOR transaction list:WonderCoin, CoinFlip, Masscrew, Travintiques, lordmarcovan, Jinx86, Gerard, ElKevvo
this will not cost them much, they are saving big money by only offering 5 percent e bucks like twice a month, they are not giving seller promos, nothing in the past 5 months anyway. they also had 10 percent off coupons and did away with that almost 2 years ago
New Lee carbide dies for me, and darn inexpensive
Same here.
I’ve been there since 2020 and used it almost exclusively for coins. They give you a few details on your long time account.
Check your ebay messages, mine was there. I didn't receive an email, nothing on the main ebay page etc. I would have never noticed had it not been mentioned here.

I received this message as well...been with them since 1998.

Ebayer since 1999.
I picked this up listed under the "Antiques" category. Listed for $30 with free shipping so I ended up paying $6.65 after tax. And BTW, PCGS price guide is showing this with a green arrow at $48 now, up from $33!
I didn't get it, but here is some silver that should be under spot after the coupon:

And an enhanced Kennedy that is below going rates after the coupon:

It was interesting that when I clicked through to the 25% off coupon to offers "chosen for me" they offered various auto parts for the make & model of a car that I own (and pictured the model of car). I've never browsed nor bought any automotive items on eBay and have never even been on the eBay Motors portion of the site. It seems that their data harvesting goes far beyond purchases and way into public records.

Big Brother is watching!
They Know more than I know, I could not tell you half the stuff that they know about me but I got the offer!
Thanks for the heads up. Took a look in my ebay messages and there it was.... was able to make use of it.
Nothing here.
I saw it yesterday and made quick work of the coupon code. I have been a member on ebay since 2000. Though I would have loved to use it to buy some cheap silver bullion, instead I will be getting 8 astronaut food ice cream sandwiches for about $6. It had been on my watch list for a while and was an easy purchase with mostly free money.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Maybe I'll just list a bunch of $25 lots of stuff under Antiques tonight and cash in on the coupon that way.

Free fishing gear, thanks ebay
LOL! Turned out they stop making replacement blades for the razor I use. So I have lottsa razor blades and a new razor coming!
Thanks for the heads-up. Grabed the enhanced Kennedy
Got the coupon. They claim it took me 3 years to make my first purchase. Only off by 3 years.
Got it, member since 1998. Used it toward the purchase of a more expensive item I had just happened to watch a couple of days ago.
Asked the non-BIN seller if they'd come down in price. They dropped it 40% and cut their shipping rate (which was unusually high) back down to something normal.
Applied the code and got the piece for something like 60% off

1998 member, no coupon
Haven't signed up for "managed payments." wonder if that is why.
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Debt
I haven't either, but did get the coupon. FYI.
