Originally joined in 1999, then my wife pretty much took over that account, so in 2000 I set up another one just for me..

Got the $25 coupon, and this is a first - I messaged a seller and asked them to RAISE the price of an item I wanted from $20 to $25.01 so I could use the coupon.. win-win!

Haha, I'm looking at almost the same thing, $20, and I'm thinking dang.... I think you can add multiple items to your cart to get over that price amount, but I'm not 100% sure.

^^ Haha! That's awesome!

I went traditional in use on a pricey item I've been hunting for years; it didn't even cover the shipping or tax, but $25 is legit. It's a good day!

I found this in the fine print:
Coupon must be used within a single transaction (and can include multiple eligible items), while supplies last. Max one redemption per user. Coupon does not apply to auction-style listings or purchases made through the Best Offer feature.

^^ Interesting, I best-offered and it worked.

March 2000 here. I ordered Picard and Data, Was like buying one and getting one free with free shipping.

That's great! Here's another trick:
I put a $20 item from one seller in my cart, and I added a $6.00 item from another seller to my cart in order to bring the total over $25.00, and during checkout, it let me use the coupon.

What coupon, I"ve been snubbed.

The coupon code HAPPY25 doesn't work for me. Why were we snubbed? What a drag.

Send them an email, and ask them why.

I just got off the phone with them, and they say it was a computer generated decision on whom got them. They say they have no say or control on the decision the software makes and whom get the coupon. So I told them that that is more money going to Amazon from me, instead of eBay. I don't need to shop eBay to get Mego figures anymore, I guess.

I was offered an alternate coupon code PARTYFOR25, but it was applicable to only certain retail brand shopping. Drag indeed, phooey ebay.
