SD Bullion Lowers Minimum Order Size

FindBullionPrices.com

The team at SD Bullion sent out an email to their customers today informing them of a change to the minimum order amount.

Several weeks ago, SD Bullion, along with other online bullion dealers, experienced an unexpected increase in daily order volume due to the banking crisis that began with the collapse of SVB. This led to several online dealers increasing the minimum order size in order to reduce the volume of orders.

SD Bullion had increased their minimum order amount to $500. The announcement today notes that the reduction to a $250 order minimum.

The complete text from the email announcement reads:

Over the past week, we’ve continued to address the backlog of orders to work us closer towards normal processing times of 1-3 business days. We expect to reach that goal within the next two weeks. Therefore, this morning, we were able to reduce the order minimum from $500 to $250 to allow us to resume serving as many customers as possible. We’ll evaluate additional steps to remove the order minimum altogether as we monitor demand moving forward, but our goal is to remove the minimum completely as soon as our operations can support it.

We have continued to offer best in class value for physical precious metals throughout this period of substantial demand and will continue to be the online dealer of choice for stackers and investors everywhere. We appreciate your support and patience as we continue to accomplish our mission.

Sincerely, 
SD Bullion Executive Team

SD Bullion is one of the few dealers that currently offer both silver at spot price and gold at spot price to new investors.

How to earn eBay Bucks when you Buy Bullion – June 12/13

When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a small commission. More information about our affiliate programs can be found here.

On June 12th, eBay launched another promotion to earn a 10% eBay Bucks bonus on qualified purchases.
As usual, items listed in the bullion categories are ineligible to earn eBay Bucks.

However, there are some ways to earn eBay Bucks when you buy bullion on eBay. When you buy bullion on eBay when they are running a bonus Bucks promotion it helps to reduce your overall dollar cost average. When factoring in the eBay Bucks bonus into the net cost of the bullion, it’s possible to buy bullion below spot price.

The first thing to note is that items listed in the bullion categories are ineligible for earning eBay Bucks. This rule has been in place for a long time as it’s always listed in the fine print whenever eBay has a special promotion like the one running today.

The second thing to note is that many times sellers will cross list bullion items in other somewhat related categories that are eligible for earning eBay Bucks. Often times this means searching for items you’d normally find in the bullion categories in related categories, such as coins and currency.

Online bullion dealers will do this because they are aware of the promotions and want to encourage people to purchase because of the promotion. eBay charges dealers a higher fee when listing in other categories so the items may be a slightly higher cost. When factoring in the eBay Bucks earned via the promotion this is often times not even a factor.

To help you find the best deals we keep track of gold, silver and junk bullion items that are eligible for earning eBay Bucks on bullion. The list includes a variety of Pre-1933 gold coins, silver bars and rounds, American Silver Eagles, and plenty of Pre-1965 junk coinage. The items on this page are all eligible to earn eBay Bucks and any promotional bonuses that are offered.
