Anyone Buy Organic Coupons Off Ebay?

[RedSoxRosie]

Just wondering if anyone else has done this? I did it a LONG time ago and can't imagine why I don't do it more often. I had gotten something like 15 or 20 Cascadian Farms coupons for about $1.79.
I'm going to check later and see if anything looks good.
Anyone else?

I've gotten some great coupons from ebay, and it's a good way for me to get some of the booklet coupons (like Mambo Sprouts) that I generally don't find in our local stores.

It's also a good way to get better value coupons -- like getting 75¢/1 Muir Glen coupons instead of the $1 ones in our newspapers.

I haven't ever ordered any off eBay, just b/c I can trade here for the ones I do want.

I just got 15 Cascadian Farms $1 off any product and 10 Clif Bar $.50 off and I paid $3.29 total (including s+h) for them all. When my CF products go on sale for 2 for $4 I'll be able to stockpile a bit and my local grocery store has Clif Bars 10 for $10 a lot and they double coupons, so I'll be able to stock up on those for free. So the $3 is worth it to me. Plus I resell my daughter's clothes on there so I have a Paypal account, so I really don't even feel that amount coming out of it.

I know that I can trade, but these are large amounts of coupons and I wouldn't expect anyone here to send me 15 of one particular one.

I know this is going to be off-topic a bit, but is there any easy & safe way to get verified for pp? I have an account that I set up for when I get paid for surveys, but I have yet to get verified and so basically the money is just sitting in there not getting used because I am still debating the safest way to link a personal account in order to get verified. Any thoughts? :shrug2:

I don't even remember the procedure to verifying an account. I've had my paypal for a few years now, so I honestly don't even remember what I had to do. I do know that I have NEVER had any problems. Whether it be refunding someone's money or getting my money refunded. Never had anyone steal my identity or my money. I mostly use it for Ebay, but when I purchase something online and that site offers payment by paypal I use it then too. Again, no problems for me at all. I think verifying only means having an address for an account (bank or credit card) that matches the address you gave for paypal???? I could be wrong though. Sorry I don't have more info for you.

I love buying them on ebay. But I wish ebay would make it easier to sort out which ones are expiring soon and which aren't. They have the info in the individual auction header info, but not in the categories search criteria. Or am I missing something?

In addition to purchasing off ebay, remember you can get many of the organic coupons from inserts from various clipping services. You can find some listed above under "Coupon Resources".

Isn't it illegal to buy coupons? Seems like I remember hearing that back in the day, or saw something like that printed on q's. I was always confused bc most say something like "Cash value $0.001".

You are paying for the seller's time, not the coupons.

[rbunnymom]

Those who "sell" coupons typically use the disclaimer that you are not buying coupons but paying for their time to collect, cut, distribute, etc.

Haha I see. There's always a way around the system. :rofl1:
