You can’t make any money selling coupons on ebay since they restricted sellers to 25 coupons a month.

Thanks for sharing this information. I’ve collected tons of coupons fromg places like Bed Bath & Beyond, Skoal, Johnson & Johnson and other popular stores/brands and I never use them. I never considered sell them on eBay but after a quick Google search for best places to sell coupons, I ran across your site and have decided to give it a whirl. I will post a follow up after the coupon auctions I post end and let you know how well I’ve done with selling them and which ones sold.

I see tons of Home Depot and Lowes coupons for 10% everywhere. They are selling 20+ every 24 hours. Where do they find these? They’re all coupons that they email to you when you buy so they aren’t even physical coupons.

I also read the Ebay policy today and it says you can’t sell more than 25 coupons in a month for some reason.

In reply to Tamara Krause. Thank you so much for taking time to explain the details for us, Tamara. I am sure a lot of people reading this will benefit from it. If you don't mind me asking, do you sell (coupons) on eBay as well?

Here is what Ebay allows:
Allowed
You may sell up to $100 or 25 valid, unexpired, original coupons per month. (See additional information below for more guidelines.)

Restricted
Multi-quantity listings: You can’t sell more than 25 coupons in a single listing. The allowed 25 coupons per month include multi-quantity listings.
Make sure you clearly state in your description how many coupons you’re selling. If we can’t tell how many coupons are offered, the listing violates our policy.

Not allowed
Coupons for “free” products: You can’t sell coupons for “free” products. This restriction includes coupons for free items, or coupons where the coupon holder buys a quantity of items at one price, and receives additional items for free.
Electronic “scanned” coupons: All coupons sold through eBay must be physical coupons printed on paper, not coupons that can be sent electronically to the buyer to be printed. Also, to reduce the potential for coupon fraud, don’t include unaltered scans of coupons in their listings that could be copied, printed, and redeemed in stores.
Note: The sale of scanned or photocopied coupons may violate federal copyright laws, and sellers of unlawful items like these could face prosecution under federal law. We don’t allow the sale of these kinds of coupons.
Coupons for recalled items: Coupons for items that have been recalled can’t be listed on eBay.
Recalled coupons: Coupons that have been recalled can’t be listed on eBay.
Coupon Inserts: Coupon inserts containing numerous coupons commonly found in Sunday papers or delivered with your mail or to your door.
Additional information
Coupon buyers should note that retailers might refuse to accept coupons that have been obtained in a way that violates the terms on the coupon.

Also, you can’t claim that the price of the coupon is based on the value of the labor involved in clipping the coupons instead of the coupons themselves. Under eBay rules, the coupons themselves are the items being sold.

In reply to Denise Saldivar. Denise, this was before eBay implemented the new rules. Selling coupons on eBay was much easier and more profitable a few years ago. But since they have changed their rules things have changed a little.

ebay sent me a message that I can only sell 25 coupons per month and they even went as far as to freeze my account for 24 hours so how did you sell so many at one time?

In reply to LF. LF, that's why we have the "But I thought you couldn't sell coupons!?" section in the article.
