End of eBay deals on silver/gold coins – Part 2

As a update to my post 3 months ago http://theeconomises.blogspot.com/2011/06/end-of-ebay-deals-on-silvergold-coins.html

Next Saturday, October 1^st, Ebay will no longer offer eBay Bucks for purchases from the Bullion category within Coins & Paper Money. http://pages.ebay.com/rewards/terms.html

Re-read the original post. This will mean the only discount will be from your credit card.     Unless ebay can beat the dealers final price, the buyers will focus on the dealers over ebay. That is a tough break for ebays sellers who have to deal with the ebay/paypal fees http://www.rolbe.com/ebay.htm

Here a purchase 14 months ago on ebay. This does not include the discount from mr rebates and the credit card. Today a roll of 25 maple leafs goes for over $1100. Seems like a buy one get one free deal a year ago.
