It all started about 6 months ago, I just happen to be looking for something for my dog in ebay when I happened across Iams coupons!!! For all of you pet owners out there Iams in not cheap nope its not at all.. I was shocked to see that there was listing upon listing of 4.00 coupons of these exact brands that I use. I bought 12  4.00 of coupons from a lady for 4.00 -.60 cents shipping and  saved myself 44.00 right there they all expire next year Im set for a year on dog food coupons. so I ventured further, to produucts I use daily , like shampoo and toothpaste even Frappicinnos YUM, now i live in a smal town and we dont get any coupons at all in my paper so this was all crazy new to me,.and I went crazy with this coupon buying  there are coupons out there for free thing such as laundry soap , snapple even dog and cat food. its wild.  now here are some pointers I have to give on buying these coupons.


 #1 alway's ask the seller if its not in the auction if these are real coupons or internet copies!  most important that they are real.

  #2 make sure the expire date will fit into when you will be buying these product, unless you are like me who bought 10 bottles of Pert Plus all at once because i had 2 bucks off a bottle and they expired at midnight.

 # 3 dont worry about over buying , if they offer 20 and you know you wont use them.. someone like me will be happy to  buy 10. trust me.

 #4 watch insane shipping charges. they are coupons and fit in a standard envelope  so 7 dollars shipping would be stupid.

# 5 when mailing your coupons  put your standard envelope in a brown bubble envelope with enough bulk to be able to get delivery confirmation.. TRUST me on this one please DC is a must if your selling .. people might not see it and well then they just say hmm they never got there. SO DC ALWAYS  for a brown envelope with one peanut in it you can send about 100 coupons with delivery conformation for around 1.89 cents so  say 2 bucks.  but a lot  sell without DC and thats fine too.. you get cheaper shipping 

# 6 look at their feedback please. if you see a bunch of people complaiing about not getting them or expiration dates  move on to next seller. and finally

#7  technially we are NOT seller these coupons we are only selling our time to collect them and bundle them and send them. I hope this tid bit of coupon knowlege on ebay helps someone. I know I have saved mucho $$$ with them.. and they have them for everything from dog food to running shoes if its out there there is a coupon for it.. Happy hunting...
