eBay seems to be pushing their credit card pretty hard. Doesn't seem like it's worth getting unless you spend a lot of money on eBay.

I think that's courtesy of the fact that Ebay spun off PayPal some time ago, and they want to capture back as much transaction fees/finance fees/etc. as they can. Why would you use Ebay credit, if PayPal would give you 6 months free of interest if you pay off the purchase in time?

Ebay tried to have me switch onto their direct pay platform, as opposed to use PayPal, for when I sell, then promptly dropped the ball by not making a decision on my application for months. Still waiting, BTW, but it would've cut my fees by half, which means I'd probably drop the prices I'm willing to churn my watches at as well. Probably others would as well, so good for buying and selling. All of that just to cut off PayPal, so these price wars seem deliberate and intentional. Now, if they could only execute.

I've been sitting on that news for over a month. Not surprising given their separation from PayPal, etc.

11% off code MADNESS and 3% Rakuten cash back at Ashford makes this Glycine Combat Sub Vintage 42 one of the biggest, best bronze bargains (and alliterations :P ) out there @ $345.31. Other colorways slightly higher.

Since last year Paypal does not refund fees back if you have to cancel-refund the eBay order for any reason. If you sell something expensive it really hurts so beware.

Piggybacking off [mention]BostonCharlie[/mention] 's Ashford coupon, the women's blue Bomberg mentioned earlier is on sale for 99. With the coupon It is 88.99 plus Rakuten said 3% cashback. Decent deal if you were on the fence before.

Went to Macy's to check out the deal [mention]bobusa[/mention] posted.

Looks like they are having a flash sale, 50% off select watches.

eBay has PREP4SPRING 15% off watches (certain retailers) but I was able to apply to an INOX from certified watch store as an example.
I think no minimum but max discount is $75 and code could be used twice.Image
