Occasionally, eBay sends discount coupons to members, who can use them to pay for items on the site. The coupons can only be used if the seller accepts PayPal.
Step 1
Some people believe that you can easily obtain eBay discount coupons and codes from the Internet. However, this is not true. EBay only sends out discount coupons to a select group of its registered users at a time; any code is programmed to work only for those users.
Step 2
Go to your "My eBay" page and make sure your contact information is up to date. Select the "Account" tab and choose "Notification Preferences."
Step 3
Scroll to "Promotions and Surveys" and select "Show." Put a check mark in the box for "General email promotions" and then click on "Save."
Step 4
You can only use one eBay discount coupon per transaction. They usually have short expiration dates, so keep a close eye on the date before it expires. If you have any problem using the coupon, contact a PayPal customer service representative for help.
Step 5
Expect to see special promotions and eBay discount coupons near a holiday or big sale event. Visit eBay's website regularly to check up on any promotion codes they might have.
