PayPal coupon: $15 off $75+ order at Monoprice

PayPal sent by email a new coupon offer to their customers and this time the coupon code looks like it is general use, but I don’t know if anyone can use it or only those who received it. Coupon code PAYPAL2017 gets you $15 off a purchase of $75+ at the Monoprice website IF you pay for your order with PayPal (not other payment options). The coupon expires 11/22/17. Exclusions apply.

Speaking of Monoprice, for Monday 10/20/17, coupon code MARVEL gets you 20% off orders of $300+.

KEH offers 365-day warranty on USED purchases made by 12/31/17

This is huge for used camera gear purchases. For used camera gear purchases made until 12/31/17, KEH Camera is offering a 365 Day Warranty instead of their usual 180 Day Warranty. The details are at the aforelinked page. Items that are covered by this range from “BGN” (Bargain condition) all the way up to “LN” (Like New). Items below “BGN” such as “AS IS” are not eligible for the warranty as usual. No coupon is needed for this offer, it happens automatically on purchases made until 12/31/17.

This brings their current limited time used coupon to new light: running until Saturday 4pm ET, coupon code PBF17A gets you 15% off most used camera gear and 25% off 700+ featured used camera gear at the KEH Camera Pre BF sale. Coupon only works on used camera gear.

Given that most cameras come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty anyway, you are getting the same duration as KEH, and some, depending on their experience dealing with manufacturer warranties (just read some of the Samsung never-ending warranty stories), would argue that they’ll get better warranty service from KEH than the manufacturer.

(ENDED) KEH coupon: 15% off USED Gear, 25% off Featured Used Gear

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum]

It’s the Union of the Two Towers ~ in a good way ~ if you are an eBay shopper.

As previously mentioned, running until next Monday morning is a big 20% off coupon promotion for all.

And here comes the second, stackable offer: IF you are participating in the eBay Rewards program, you may have also been invited to participate in another Bonus Bucks promotion, you get 8% eBay Bucks without a minimum purchase amount until Thursday 11/16/17 at 11:59pm pacific time.

First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.

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…

As usual, keep in mind that eBay is a Wild West marketplace, products are in various conditions, in various warranty situations and sellers are of varying quality and reliability 🙂
