How to get eBay Promotion Coupon Codes by email from eBay – your personal eBay promo code.  Opt in to e eBay marketing emails to get your own eBay promo codes…

I was contacted directly by eBay staff recently through this promo codes blog, and was asked to get the correct info out about how to get your own personal eBay promo code.  (See eBay’s comments here:  eBay wisdom on eBay promo codes!)  I agreed to update the post I had written to include the disclaimer that eBay provided, and agreed to write a future post with the instructions eBay provided on how anyone can get the official eBay promo codes for themselves.  I had posted the eBay promo code I had received myself from eBay, and got mixed results with folks trying out the promo code from eBay.  And now I know why it didn’t work for everyone.  The problem was noted on the post that eBay left on the Contact page of this blog:  “We just saw your article on eBay coupon code. All eBay codes are personalized and only select members are eligible for redemption. Therefore, most of the users who use the coupons you mentioned wont be able to redeem. Can you add the following note to your article?”  “Note: eBay coupons are individually targeted to predetermined eBay users. Therefore, the codes listed below may not work for you. The best way to receive valid eBay coupons is to opt-in to receive eBay marketing emails.”  eBay staff

I’m glad eBay staff contacted me, (It’s an exciting day for a blogger when eBay comes visiting!!!), because I want to get this promo code info out to you, I haven’t seen it published anywhere else.  It’s not exactly an “eBay Secret”, but it’s not easy to find, either!  That’s the whole purpose of this post, to explain how to get valid eBay promo codes, coupon codes, specials, etc. by opting in to receive eBay marketing emails.  (And since there isn’t a big red button on the home page that flashes OPT IN!  OPT IN!  I thought I’d take a minute and walk you through the eBay process to opt in to e eBay marketing emails to get your own eBay promo codes…
