Editors note: Ebates is now owned by Rakuten and has been rebranded.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are some things in the world that if offered I will without hesitation turn down.\u00a0 Brussel sprouts I could do without.\u00a0 Chance to walk on hot coals?\u00a0 Thanks but I think I\u2019ll pass.\u00a0 However, if someone offers me FREE money I\u2019m all ears but of course more than a bit sceptical.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rarely does an offer of \u2018free money\u2019 hold water in life as most of us know.\u00a0 Usually, there are 1000 strings attached or small print where you owe that person 500% interest.\u00a0 For FBAers that do a lot of Online Arbitrage looking for every edge in our margins and ultimately increased profits, you need to get on board with Ebates.com<\/a> if you haven\u2019t already and start earning free money while you source.<\/p>\n

What is Ebates?<\/h2>\n

Ebates is a pretty simple setup concept.\u00a0 By using their \u2018affiliate\u2019 link to start your shopping spree, they are willing to offer you a % discount in return off your total for thousands of online stores including Kohls, JCPenney, Home Depot and really most of the major large box stores online.\u00a0 How can they do this?\u00a0 Let\u2019s say Kohls is offering 3% off of your total.\u00a0 Well, Kohls affiliate program is giving Ebates 6% so they\u2019re splitting the difference with you. A win-win scenario for both parties.<\/p>\n

Special Offers<\/h2>\n

The best part of Ebates is when they offer special discounts beyond the normal amounts offered through their program.\u00a0 For example, Kohls normally offers 3% off of your total purchase, not great but hey its free money.\u00a0 This is 3% after you use all of your other coupon codes and discounts.\u00a0 Every so often, Kohls will offer a 6% cash back instead of 3.\u00a0 So, let’s say you already have a 30% off coupon code and then add this 6% on to that.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a savvy Kohls shopper, you take advantage of their Kohl\u2019s Cash offer where you get $10 for every $50 spent.\u00a0 If you found some nice Clearance items online at Kohls with a fair $5 margin BSR BEFORE those discounts were applied, you now have a virtual ATM at your fingertips after the extra 36% discount!\u00a0 This is where the real money is made in online arbitrage.<\/p>\n

Personal Example<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been using Kohls as an example because this is where we\u2019ve been really been making some goldmine finds in prep for Q4.\u00a0 Everything from kids pyjamas to women\u2019s shoes and accessories have been readily available at premium discounted prices the past few months.\u00a0 Stick with major brand names and you\u2019ll have the best luck finding matching Amazon listings.\u00a0 JCPenney is another great source for Ebates + Online Coupon Code savings.\u00a0 Both stores put a ton of items, especially clothing that may be out of season, online in their clearance sections for us to profit from.\u00a0 Be careful and not go too overboard as both stores have been known to flag extremely large purchases as potential resale buys (which they do not support).<\/p>\n

Our Ebates checks have been in the many hundreds of dollars and it truly is seen as free money from our end.\u00a0 We would have made these purchases even if Ebates didn\u2019t exist so the fact that we can take advantage of this is just gravy when all is said and done.\u00a0 My guess would be you will see the growth of other sites similar to Ebates with better % offers to buyers like us.\u00a0 Yes, there are other similar sites out there currently but none with the wide range of sites offering discounts like Ebates.<\/p>\n

Like what you hear?\u00a0 Best thing: It’s Free to join.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not a big online buyer and you just want to purchase things for your own good, it pays to sign up and get started.\u00a0 Buying things out of season?\u00a0 Use your favourite repricer (ours being RepricerExpress<\/a>) and set your pricing strategy up with no worries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
