I love buying coins on ebay, but. . .

I sure don't like getting emails from ebay on "ending soon" for every coin I look at. Any thing in account settings I can change?

    If you figure it out let me know. As far as I know you cannot turn off emails notifying you of every aspect of buying activity which is stupid - you can check all that stuff on your account on the web or in the app - it’s just unnecessary junk email that ebay will not let you turn off, and is annoying as hell.

    Go to account preferences then click on communication preferences.
    From there you can select what emails you get.

    Yes, many of us had this turned on as it aided in our getting ebay bucks which we no longer get. thanks.

    Here's how to get to it:
    From "account" tab > account preferences > communication preferences

    then you will see this (one of the two checked boxes allows ebay buck offers to come to you, don't know which one so I had them both checked). Unchecking one or both will stop the emails discussed in the OP.

    As a buyer I only get emails from eBay on items I am watching when they get close to timing out.

    I haven't received an Ebay Bucks offer in at least 6 months. I used to get at least one, if not more, each quarter. Has anyone else received one recently?

    Another annoying thing about ebay, after you click on a coin to view the additional info about it, that sale and just about everything else you've clicked on seems to follow/hound you/ keeps showing up again in the next page listings of coins. I hate that! I've seen the coin, I don't need to see it again! Don't keep shoving the same coin in my face to buy it! lol

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    nope, looks like they discontinued sending the ebay bucks email offers for now. Sure made for some good discounts, especially when I was able to talk the seller to changing the category to "US coins" from the ineligible bullion category.

    What bugs me is the emails after it closes... 1909-S Lincoln Cent.... Is no longer listed.

    Why can't they say it sold or ended? Why leave it so vague?
