eBay coupon: 15% off orders of $25+ [select retailers]

eBay strikes again with another coupon promotion. Coupon code PLAYFUL15 gets you 15% off items priced $25+ until 6/23/18 at 11:59pm pacific time. Over 100 well-known eBay sellers are eligible for this promotion. You can find the complete list at teh bottom of the page over there. Eligible items will also mention the coupon eligibility.

When you follow the menus, there are over 3000 items under the Camera and Photography category

This is a “Union of the Two Towers” promotion, because also running in parallel is a YMMV 6% to 8% eBay Bucks promotion…

YMMV: eBay Bonus Bucks: 6% over $50, 8% over $100

Good until Wednesday 6/20/18 at 11:59pm pacific… This is YMMV as usual! The offer is being sent out via email and eBay messages, it is a new 6% eBay Bucks promotion on purchases of $50, or 8% for purchases of $100+. You must manually activate it before you earn the extra eBay Bucks. I do not know if every eBay Bucks member gets these offers or the eBay computers do their “targeting thing” (eg nudge people who haven’t shopped in a while to shop, and so forth).

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here, including the free Google Home Mini w/$150+ orders promotion running until 5/29/18.

As usual, there are limits to how much you can earn. You can earn $100 maximum for an individual transaction, and a maximum of $500 from multiple purchases made during this promotional period.
