No knock-offs in the links I posted-I checked.
i stated one of the sellers had some knock-off stuff. coins stuff intentionally listed in non-coin categories without a good selling record is a major red flag. i'm not good with .999 coins as much as .90 but the wolf and dragon were a bit iffy from the pics. i'll leave that to those that know them well.
please do not hesitate to post links like that in the future. often quite beneficial!
bought a pair of tennis shoes with the coupon and used points from my e bay master card for the balance. nothing like getting something for free. this might be a random thing like e bucks promos

It can be but this is just a case of listing something to allow people to take advantage of the coupon. All items are genuine (I’ve compared them to the same items from other sources and they check out).
amazing how many listings I was interested in were priced at $25 - but the coupon required a minimum price of $25.01 to be used (for one item anyway, probably could have applied it to my cart, but then I'd have to buy two which negates getting something for free...)

Find something random for $0.99 to add or message the seller and ask them to increase the price by $0.01. They might be confused but you can explain it to them.
After reading all the comments here, I'm almost wondering if it might be related to the volume of business you have done. I didn't create my second account until 2012??? I used it solely for buying until a couple of years ago. My 2nd account received accolades for being a power buyer a couple of years after I opened it.

I'd try to use the coupon and see what happens.
From what I can see so far, it is mainly accounts from 2000 or earlier that are getting the coupon.
Maybe it’s a combo of accounts from 2000 or earlier (like many I’ve seen reported so far) and power buyers? My account is from 2012 but it’s far from a power buyer or power seller.

Member since 98 and got it. Read the fine print, though, it's got some gotchas in addition to the usual - it's not valid on auctions or Best Offers...
Mine actually worked on a Best Offer - $45 price, offered $38, accepted, used the code on the invoice & $13 PayPal

I used my coupon on ink for my printer. My Canon printer guzzels ink. I hate paying for ink so this made the purchase a little easier on the wallet.
You should consider a laser printer. Toner seems to last almost indefinitely.
Got it. 1999. 90% Collectibles & Art. Not a power anything. Free fishing gear. Thank you eBay.
Algorithms are easily developed to grab different target groups at different times and under different circumstances. I doubt eBay will be sharing this logic with any of us.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.
Talked a seller into doing a BIN for $25.01 for a 5 card lot of 1971 Kelloggs 3D baseball cards in NM/MT. A couple of them will upgrade my current examples. So net cost was one penny!!!

likewise
i'm not signing up until the very end. for better or worse.
be careful as one of the sellers (or is it only 1) has some knock-off stuff. you may get something not silver. just fyi
i do like when people posts links though .last time i saw that the forum did this, people bought a lot of gold. were they $10 indians?

Part of the Ebay Stimulus Program.
They get to write off each $25 yea? So uh, have other people sell stuff for you as you get the profits and a write off. Right?
Edit oh. Strong 4th quarter right out the gate to make up for the embarrassment that will be this holiday season. My money is on that instead.

Found this AG in a qualifying category:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-British-Year-of-the-Horse-1-Troy-Oz-999-Fine-Silver-Coin/264784259528
Way under spot with the coupon.
Looks like someone is selling off a full roll. That is a solid option.
Here is another item that is almost free with the coupon:

Nice! Really wished I got the coupon.

Better hurry folks! Only 1 left!
Good ideas. The horse was not my thing but it got me looking in that category. Plenty of silver left in there.
I almost went with the spider: https://ebay.com/itm/2015-Australian-FUNNEL-WEB-SPIDER-1-OZ-Coin-999-Fine-Silver-ENTHUSIASTS-L-K/383669484151?hash=item59547bba77:g:NqMAAOSwFqJWoF9y
But I ended up finding a 1 OZ Canadian Bison for under $10 shipped using the generous coupon.

I actually did, and no dice.
Hmff, missed it by a year
Sorry to hear. I missed it by more than a few. I'm glad that at least some people on here have been able to take advantage of the coupon.

My buying account might have hit 6 figures at 1 time in a year and my selling account is 7.

Better watch out. Ebay has clawed back some ebay bucks that were given to me incorrectly in the past.

Collector, occasional seller
I have a Laser printer. Love it. The Canon is great for printing photos but expensive.

Spent mine on two boxes of Tagamet.
I’ll probably need a whole box the morning the WW V75 Gold Eagle goes on sale.
Many thanks for posting this! Have 2 dormant accounts, I would have missed
Nothing for me, member since 1998.
I usually get the bucks deals though so I won't cry too badly.
