it's a very good article ~ even it's American but i do believe the policy would end up spread to canada ( in fact, part of them already did)

"Manufacturers are reacting. Any regular coupon shopper has noticed that for many coupons, the expiration dates are getting shorter, and in some cases, dollar values are going down too. Why? According to some of the manufacturers I spoke with at the conference, the shortened dates and lowered values are being used to combat the resale of coupons. With shortened dates, the window of time that those coupons can end up on the resale market is shortened as well. Another manufacturer's representative was even more candid. The rep said "If we see too many of our coupons on Ebay, we know the dollar value was too high, and the value of the coupons we issue goes down next month." (As this was said in a closed session, I won't disclose the company's name, but if you've ever bought a name-brand of 100% fruit juice, you've likely bought their product at some point.)
Shortly after the premiere of "Extreme Couponing" aired last fall, P&G added the "Limit 4 Like Coupons Per Transaction" wording to its coupons. Colgate has followed suit on some of its coupons, and I think we're just seeing the beginning of this. At the ACP conference, these limits were a popular topic of discussion. What's a good, reasonable limit that a "normal" coupon shopper would buy at one time? Manufacturers were trying to determine at what point "enough to stock up on" turns into "more than one shopper could reasonably want to buy at a time."

WE ALL HURTS just becoz some ppl inappropriately use of coupons!!!!!

How is selling coupons on ebay different from trading coupons here for new stamps or FPC's or Gift Cards?????????? So quit the nitpicking.

Besides, not everyone has access to the same coupons across Canada and most welcome the chance to buy coupons that they really need and use. I know i do.
