those annoying ebay emails

seems like every coin I look at these days is followed by an ebay email telling me that it's about to end or that the price has been reduced. How does one put a stop to this?

Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.

    Those are annoying, but not nearly as annoying as the "you just missed out on this, but here's another one" emails that you get because you watched a PCGS MS65/CAC coin that ended, and now they want you to look at an ungraded AG03 Details version of the same coin!

    I like them because they let you know when the next ebay bucks offer is.

    Are the coins on your watch list? Are you logged into ebay when you view them? I don't get a lot of the emails but I use firefox in private mode and I have an extension that pops up a window telling me how many trackers are on a page i go to . It allows me to selectively block them. Its disturbing how some pages will have more than a dozen trackers.

    Everything is tracked now...you look at power tools at Home Depot dot com, the next time you go on line, there are ads for tools all over.

    Install some tracker blockers / privacy extensions in your browser - e.g. Ghostery, Privacy Protector, etc. Any web page phones home to many tracking sites. Use at least one ad blocker as well. If you don't you are the dream internet consumer target.

    will this turn off bonus bucks offers?

    I believe so. Since they are no longer sending me the Ebay Bucks offers, I may turn it off, too. It's been two months plus since I received an Ebay Bucks offer, and I used to get virtually all of them. I put up with the incessant emails about things I will never buy in order to get the Ebay Bucks offers. But if they have decided to no longer send them to me, I don't need to put up with their SPAM.
