The Offer
- eBay is offering $3 off purchases $3.01 and higher with promo code: PERKS4ME
I found an official link on eBay for this offer. That page shows it as only valid for first-time users whereas in practice it seems to be working for everyone, possibly a glitch.

Our Verdict
Remember to shop with a portal. Our appreciation if you use our eBay affiliate link instead (our affiliate link here and below).
Find a cheap item and it’ll be almost free after promo. As an example, you can buy 6 USPS Forever postage stamps which costs $4.60 (after shipping) and pay just $1.60 after applying the promo code. Also look for chargers and other phone accessories, USB cables, toys, t-shirts, etc.
As of 10:30pm est on 5/2 the code still works. Just a PSA for everyone. As always, Chuck, thanks for the great tip!

Cost 2 cents after code. Be advised, it will fall apart after 1-3 years of being a DoC follower. Ref: Personal experience and my duct taped book.
Good product suggestion.
Mildly amusing quirks of Ebay:
Chinese sellers using Canadian dollars as their advertised price currency instead of US dollars.
Seller who managed to get a Banggood item (identified by the Banggood business cards in the example photos) so cheaply that they can resell them with round-the-world shipping for 25% less than Banggood itself.
SquareTrade offering to sell me a warranty on some $3-$4 items, for $2.99.
1. I never really paid much attention to the Canadian dollar thing, as e-bay shows the approx. conversion. But now you have me wondering why? Do they get a better exchange rate to their money system? Does it force us to use a credit card?
2. I assume sellers have the right to substitute like items, so who knows if I get the Bang Good item. Getting quality pictures cost time and money, so once you get (or borrow) a good set, keep ’em up.
3. SquareTrade… not overly surprised. Warranties… hmphh.
S.O ordered 10 pack Hot Glue Gun Sticks… 4 cents. https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pc-7x200mm-Transparent-Hot-Melt-Glue-Stick-Adhesive-for-High-Power-Gun-ur/192809972539
If you want to be a big spender, there is a shorter stick 15 pack for 3.52 from an american seller.
These are great, I wonder how ebay affords to run these. Costs must add up real quick if people just order $3-$10 stuff where ebay can’t make it back in commissions.
Ebay makes PLENTY of money off its sellers. That’s how.
It’s a loss leader to suck people back in to buy stuff. They go into it knowing the immediate promo is a loss, but hoping the make more in the long game. It also moves products for the merchants, making them happy. I assume Ebay has a promotions budget and they will shut it down once consumed.
Bought 25 feet of 550 Paracord for $0.99.
