Hemispherical · June 11, 2019 7:12AM

Always happens after...

numbersman · June 11, 2019 7:13AM

I already used it for over $90 this morning!

mapleman · June 11, 2019 7:14AM

Just got it. Going for the gold. I picked up an apmex 20 franc au rooster last week 1910 sure looks bu to me.

ctf_error_coins · June 11, 2019 7:15AM

I am Maxed, but I do have 400 super nice eye appealing BIN's

ChrisH821 · June 11, 2019 7:32AM

Got it!

drei3ree · June 11, 2019 7:33AM

I've been interested in coins that were qualified, per eBay's conditions, but don't show the bonus bucks. Odd... Oh, and I do have the offer on other coins.

If they are listed in two categories and one is bullion, then it won’t qualify.

Also, the 13% is only for purchases via the eBay app (it’s 8% on the desktop).

Finally, it might help to logout, restart your device, and try again.

mapleman · June 11, 2019 7:52AM

Just got $100 bucks on a 10 Indian at liberty.

Normally I would have bought something, mostly bullion, by now. But ebay is charging me 8.875 % tax for buying a coin I barely like from a seller in Italy. It will takes me a while to get use to this 4% discount.

mapleman · June 11, 2019 8:05AM

Very true
I've been adding a couple to my wife's charm bracelet.
I've Been thinking a little sack of sovs,20 francs and pre 33 will be nice in hand and the Ebucks sure
help fill it,

BillDugan1959 · June 11, 2019 8:10AM

Thanks for the heads-up, first time I have recieved the bonus Bucks offer in about 75 days. Lord knows I have spent some decent money with the eBay folks in the last month. Many thanks for the heads-up!

DCW · June 11, 2019 8:43AM

Man, I'm getting eBay bucks every week now. And this one is the largest I've seen. Almost gets me back to pre tax taking eBay days...

PhilLynott · June 11, 2019 9:13AM

Had $48.08 left to finish off and found a $5 lib for $375 that perfectly took care of that.

Have it on my second account as well but only going to start that if some real solid $10 lib deals pop up as those are perfect with the 13%. Right now not seeing anything appealing for $10 libs post here if anyone spots something

BTW, has anyone else noticed price discrepancies on eBay bucks?

For BOTH of my accounts, some of the transactions in the last month had the wrong purchase price on the eBay bucks page and, therefore, the wrong eBay bucks total.

It took me a lot of phone calls to get them to credit me the difference. No one can figure out why it happened. All the transactions involved were Apmex gold, but not all the Apmex gold purchases were affected.

Spent a total of like 2-1/2 hours on the phone over 3 days to get $28 credited. LOL

yeah this happened to me a few weeks back too. Bought a $20 lib from apmex for $1320 and it listed it for 1218 on the ebay bucks page

divecchia · June 11, 2019 10:56AM

Thanks for the heads up. Got me $97.50 a few minutes ago.

I was fortunate to receive this offer. now lets see what I can get.

ChrisH821 · June 11, 2019 3:15PM

Pulled the trigger on an AU double Eagle from Apmex. Haven't bought from them before so figured what the heck, now is a good time. Will end up about $40 under spot after I use the $100 ebucks.

Do you have a link to this? Didn't find these in my search, thx.

Anyhow the new tax from ebay killed the deal unless you have a tax exempt, or resale on file.

coinbuf · June 11, 2019 4:00PM

Thx, I'll keep looking at US gold then.

I sent them a message enquiring about the bucks as when I hit bin it only showed 8%. This at about 10am est. They responded several hours later to proceed to checkout and it will show as 13. I did and the 20 franc was no longer listed. Oh well I had already pu a $10 Indian from liberty.
Maybe next time if one reappears on the big A.

sparky64 · June 11, 2019 6:21PM

I need to learn to make these offers work better for me.
13% is pretty significant.
I used it to somehow justify slightly overpriced coins that I liked.
Gets the price down closer to acceptable. 🤔

I know this is nit-picking a bit, but the tax is from your home state, not eBay. Many people here are totally unaffected by sales tax because of their home state.

Not really sure what you mean. The new law says pretty much everyone will have to pay sales tax no matter where the item is coming from. A few states have coin exemptions, but pretty soon most everyone will be paying tax, even from out of state purchases.

There isn't A new law. There are numerous laws in individual states. It is not national, and it is not eBay. NY state, my state, decides whether to apply an internet marketplace tax and on what items.

The tax is determined by the state you live in, regardless of where the seller is. If you live in a state that has either no sales tax or no sales tax on coins, you will not pay sales tax on coins. At the moment, it is still a minority of states, many of which have some either coin or bullion exemption. Even good old NY State exempts bullion sales over $1000.

The supreme court (national) recently overturned a previous decision they had made about sales tax via internet purchases in other states. So yes, it's fair to say these are new rules that are national. Yes, each state has their own individual rules, but the supreme court now gave them all authority to charge the tax if they want.

Only problem with a tax free bullion over $1000 on ebay is NO ebucks. And the truth, sale tax exemption document is easy to obtain and file through ebay. However you may be subject to fines and a jail sentence with the intention to evade tax.

Illinois also does not charge sales tax on coins and bullion. They make up for it with income tax though

And a plethora of other taxes.
This might be one of the few benefits of less interest in coins (politicians forget about coins when it comes time to raise taxes).

apmex just listed special priced cleaned $10 libs if anyone is interested. $680. After 13% + 1.5% credit card rewards it's about $65 under spot

Akbeez · June 12, 2019 1:44PM

Nope -- there is no "national" sales tax for eBay across the board. I just purchased several items with no tax. Alaska has NO state sales tax (city, yes). Things could change of course, but Alaskans are pretty much against more taxes.

Still shopping for that 13% discount...

blitzdude · June 12, 2019 3:15PM

Still no coin tax in The Commonwealth. God bless The Commonwealth! As mentioned previously if you are paying taxes on coins it's your state of residence that's stiffing you, not the feds.

Now the sad part, even with 13% still no coin deals.

coinpalice · June 12, 2019 3:50PM

spot gold prices too high for deals this round. will still buy, it will be a deal after the 13 percent e bucks

morbidsteve · June 12, 2019 3:54PM

So what are you guys buying to get value from the 13%?

Would love to add to my Buffalo date set... not finding "the ones" though. So far just the $20 I mentioned above.

I picked up a certain CBH that I've always wanted.
I didn't get a great deal but the 13% makes it reasonable.

I bought some 20 Francs. I'll probably dump them immediately. Even at 98% of melt, I'm back of that. My strategy is a little different. I don't mind losing a few bucks on the gold as long as I have most of the eBay bucks left. It's kind of free money.

I sold a bunch of commems today also, probably to other people taking advantage of eBay bucks.

I LOVE EBAY BONUS BUCK EVENTS!!! Good for both buying and selling.

Cue @Coinstartled

Love the Ebay bucks promos as well. If they offered them 7 days a week and lifted the $500 cap I would once again be active on Ebay!!
