Many of you have seen me refer to buying coupons online and wondered exactly what the heck I’m talking about. Well, you can buy coupons from a variety of sites! Need 20 Cottonelle coupons? Head online! There will likely be someone who has 20 of them, waiting to sell them to you! Ebay is one of my favorite places to find rare and high value coupons. You do need to be savvy–do not pay for printable coupons. 99% of the time you can get those for free yourself. Make sure the coupons you order are from a reputable seller–meaning look at their feedback to make sure they’ve sold coupons before. The best sellers have complete descriptions of the coupons along with pictures. And always remember that you are not paying for the coupons themselves, but for the time to collect, clip and mail the coupons to you. I have a few favorite sellers: Danica, Mama_Sold_It, Holloway’s Coupons, and Gen_Lee. All of them have been quick, reliable sellers who sold me exactly what they described. Danica and Mama_Sold_It have both thrown in extra bonus coupons for being a repeat buyer. However, I do have one seller I will tell you to steer clear of–Melodyh. I know several people who have ordered from her in the recent past. Two report that she mailed coupons to the wrong address, and then gave out personal information without buyers’ permission, asking one buyer to mail the coupons to the correct address. All without any contact with the original buyer. She’s also broken feedback rules by Ebay, leaving negative feedback on the buyer and called her a liar. No, I won’t be doing business with Melody again. I also can recommend Couponsthingsbydede.com and earlybirdcoupons.com. Happy shopping! ETA: Its been a few days and there’s been plenty of time for everyone to view the comments. I normally don’t allow cursing and other language on this blog. I’m going to be removing the comments that have no point except to curse and rail on me for daring to denigrate Melody. The posts in support of both Melody and myself will stand, if they refrain from cursing. I stand by my comments–but its obvious that Melody has fans too. In fairness, I will let those comments stand.

THIS SITE IS TERRIBLE I HAVE CHECKED IT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND WHAT A DISGRACE .. THIS SHOULD BE BANNED.
SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT THE SITE AND LIKE I SAID I CHECKED IT OUT AND I THINK MY GOD DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANYTHNG BETTER TO DO THEN TALK ABOUT COUPONS. YOU ALL NEED TO GET OUT IN THE WORLD INSTEAD OF SIT HOME MOMS
Well, I wonder who this is? Especially since both Sally Mae comments correspond to the same IP address in VA as the seller I told you NOT to buy from. She has been very combative over the past 24 hours and threatening me with all kinds of ridiculous actions. She has broken ebay rules many times. Does the University know you’re using their computer for personal use? Somehow I doubt a powerseller is a student…especially with your poor grammar.
As for the other things: 1, I cannot be banned from this site so give it up. I am a paid blogger and the network owners will find this amusing, not worrisome. I have complete control over this blog. Sorry, not going to ban myself. 2, Since you make so much money off stay at home moms, better watch what you say. 3, most of us work from home or do some other sort of work, so know what you speak of before you show yourself to be even more of an idiot than you’ve already revealed.
Keep it coming. Its been a very entertaining few hours!
How do you find out about the register rewards and which ones are being offered and when?
For the record, MELODYH is a respectable seller on ebay and locally where he/she resides. This seller in question respects the policy and procedures of ebay and paypal. This seller clearly has terms and conditions listed under the items in question for which he/she is being personally attacked for. This is clearly a case of virtual harassment and e-slander in my personal opinion.
The truth is in the feedbacks via ebay and could clearly be justified in a court of law. To have a total of 9893 transaction since December of 2004 with 5456 transactions in the last year with only a total of 23 negative, that is less than 1.4%. For those who have written this blog, I would strongly recommend you read over the terms and conditions set forth by ebay. Malicious intend over items shipped via ebay in a timely fashion and holding a seller responsible for the United States Postal Service is unjust. Bottom line this is a case of e-adult-cyber-bulling-via- ebay by someone who didn’t read the very simple terms and conditions under the item that was purchased via ebay by a seller who followed the terms and conditions of ebay.
I really hope the right thing is done here by ebay and once they review all the e-mails in question which they have complete access to they will rule / act accordingly to those who have deemed it their intent to clearly slander / attack a seller who has a SOLID reputation.
V:
1–Something Melody misses in most of her emails…I am NOT the buyer in question. I just happen to know the two buyers involved in the transaction, and make my recommendation against using Melody after being both a customer myself in a separate transaction, and witnessing the havoc of their transactions with Melody. I might have been a little more impressed if Melody had known from the beginning that I was not one of the two who’d had trouble. However she did not.
2–I am free to my opinion and to express it. Since much of what I do is to give advice, my opinion is what is expressed here–its what people come to this blog for. I do not like the way Melody practices business. To make a mistake in mailing coupons to the wrong house–that can be an honest mistake. To not contact the buyer once you realize that mistake, and then ask the buyer who received the wrong q’s to then mail it out for her, that’s bad business practice. To then give out the first buyer’s address without her permission, even worse! (Ebay rule number one violated.) To then leave negative feedback against Ebay rules in the form of a positive feedback, takes it to a whole new level. Melody posted on the buyer’s feedback that she was a liar and other slanders. (Ebay rule number two broken–and if you review her feedback to buyers you will find its not the first time.) So anyone with half a brain will see why in a blog on ebay sellers I recommend, I choose to warn potential buyers about Melody and her practices. And I sent her an email documenting all the reasons why I was doing so. She escalated it from there.
3–You’re right, she is a power seller and has an overwhelmingly positive feedback. Which is why we were so baffled that she behaved the way she did. A good seller would have admitted her mistake in a) sending out the coupons to the wrong address and b) in giving out her address without her permission. And then a good seller would have negotiated some sort of a positive outcome with the buyer. Melody did nothing of the kind. As far as the buyer has related to me, there was no contact to offer a solution–only accusations of being a liar and asking the buyer to remove her negative feedback.
By the way, who mentioned a court of law? Now this is just getting ridiculous. You are throwing around a lot of terms and ideas that very obviously have no place here. Slander isn’t slander if its backed up by facts. I have read and re-read the terms of ebay. I am fully allowed to contact a seller I had a transaction with and let her know my dissatisfaction with her business practices. I am fully allowed to post them here on a blog outside of ebay. Melody, however should go back and read those same rules. She is NOT allowed to share buyer’s information with others, even if the other buyer says she knows her. Melody had no way of knowing if that was true or not, short of contacting the buyer. Which she did not do. She is also not allowed to leave negative feedback calling the buyer a liar using the positive feedback button. And she has done that with more than one buyer.
We are savvy shoppers here. I am not known as Little Miss Know it All for nothing. Please know what you’re talking about next time.
Shawna, head over to Hotcouponworld.com and visit the Walgreens threads. They have the ads posted there, often weeks in advance, and they list the RR deals. Also some posters get emails in advance of a RR deal and share that information in the Walgreens threads.
To Melody’s fan club: Welcome! Stick around, you might find a deal!
You should also know that I can see each IP address, so creating new user names each time is not necessary. I can see it when IP addresses match. No one is fooled.
If Melody is such a great seller, use her. Why she is so threatened by my blog, I’m not sure.
And to answer your question….yes. I’m Little Miss Know it All. Or can you not read the title of the blog?
6 posters from 2 IP addresses. Virginia and Atlanta.
Wow. Just a wow. I don’t sell things on ebay, and I only buy coupons, so not sure exactly what that was all about.
By the way, if you’d been around here that long you’d know…the site is only a week old. Find it odd that you’ve been reading this blog for months when it was only created last week.
Go ahead and get nasty. With each post you prove my point–Melody is not the kind of seller most of my readers want to do business with.
littlemissknowitall, you are correct, I am getting a kick out of these commentors defending an ebay seller. Talk about needing to get a life? Keep your great attitude and great deals coming…..

Really…can you at least learn to spell before you post again? Your poor spelling and grammar is starting to hurt my head.
For those of you who need translation:
Scooping=Stooping
wat=what
bisiness=business
Jose, do you, Melody and your fan club really think you’re promoting Melody’s business by behaving like this?
I do not sell on Ebay. I do not conduct a business. So I have no clue what you are talking about.
Jose, that is the longest sentence I think, ever in mankind. Maybe since you or your wife MELODY work at the Univ of Va, you could take some English grammar classes there? Use all the money that she gets using ebay improperly to fund your classes!
Banned from what, exactly?
I work 20 hours a week from home. I have a special needs child and so I have to be at home. I write this blog and spend my time teaching hundreds of women a week how to save money and breathe easier every time they go to the store. And this is MY blog. MINE. What exactly gives you the right to come on here and harass me?
Melody, in case you hadn’t noticed, you haven’t been discussed for several posts. The people you’ve sent here have done nothing but abuse me and call me every name under the sun. Again, as the site owner I can see every single email and IP, and I know which comments come from the same home, the same area, and the same company.
I’ve already reported you for harassment to Ebay. I forwarded all of your emails threatening to report me for things you never could define.
Has everyone lost their minds? All this drama over COUPONS? Sally, Jose, Melody, Bobby, etc–you guys need something better to do with your time. So what if LMKIA told everyone she doesn’t like an Ebay seller? Why does it bother you so much? If you’re such a great seller and LMKIA sucks so much, why do you feel the need to put out so much time?
Really, I think its you guys who need to get a life. The only bullies I see are you. Not LMKIA.
Actually, people do ask for my 2 cents. I get asked for my opinion on ebay sellers daily. Every single day I tell people the ebay sellers I’ve had good luck with, and the ones I won’t do business with.
And in all of your emails and posts, you still have yet to tell me what exactly you are reporting me for. Exactly what rule of Ebay’s did I violate by posting my opinion of you as a seller?
ETA: Bobby’s comments are all removed after he refused to watch his language. My site–I won’t put up with that.
Bobby, watch your language or your comments will be deleted. The only gossiping going on is in this ridiculous thread of comments. Every single other post is about coupons.
I’m about done with the drama.
BTW, not a single one of these posts make Melody look good. If you are all so worried about her and her business, you haven’t helped her here today. Somehow I doubt the 500 people who’ve clicked in today will be making a stop at Melody’s store.
One person on earth suggested that Melodyh is not the best seller on e-bay for coupons. That’s it. Move on. Go forward! Take the 99% positive and go with it!
No reason to mention God in the above almost incomprehensible trash talk. He is good and truly knows all.
Amen! Can we please move on and back to the deals? LMKIA, do we need any special coupons for the diaper deal? Where do we get the books?
LMKIA, pay no attention to the trolls! We know you and what you’re all about! I know for one you’ve been a huge lifesaver (no pun intended) for me and my family! The past four months have literally changed our lives! God bless you for all you do!
To Melody and her “fan club”,
Maybe if you could spell we might give a damn what you have to say but since you can’t we don’t! LMKIA has helped ALL of us! And staying away from you just might be her best tip ever!
LMKIA is awesome! She is very ethical and we love her! She is totally above reproach in her methods. She takes her personal time to help hundreds if not thousands of families every week. Her tips are saving my family hundreds of dollars a month. In this economy that is necessary for those of us on a shoestring budget. She is a true godsend. Thanks, LMKIA!
thought you should know that you dont have control over all ohio people as i had some buy from me over the weekend… ap
Melody, don’t you have better things to do with your time than to worry about my blog?
oh i alot to do and yes much better but just thought you would find it interesting to know that you dot have control over everyone that you thought you did. good luck to you and all your followers
I SEE YOU DECIDED TO DELETE MOST OF MY FOLLOWERS AND MY COMMENTS AS WELL.HMM I WONDER WHY? TO MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD OH WELL. HAD SOME MORE OHIO PEOPLE BUY FROM ME THE OTHER DAY. JUST REMEMEBER YOU HURT ALL YOUR FOLLOWERS FROM ME AS I GET COUPONS 9 DAYS BEFORE EVERY OTHER SELLER ON EBAY. I HAVE HAD 8/3 COUPONS ON FOR 6 DAYS NOW ..
Yes Melody, we all know about Earlybirdcoupons too. We typically get ours ahead of time.
No, any comment that did not contain cursing was allowed to stand. Actually it was the spam/comments software that Wordpress uses flagged every single one of those comments and pulled them before I had a chance.
I don’t care who you get orders from from here on out. I don’t even live in Ohio, so why you’d think I’d control all of Ohio, I’m not sure. I’m also not sure why, if you have such a thriving business, you are still hanging around here looking for a fight. I honestly have better things to do with my time than worry about you and your ebay sales. I warned people about your business practices, that’s enough for me. You say you have things to do other than hanging out here…but yet I still see you coming back, day after day!
LMKIA is not the one who hurt her readers. That was you, when you GAVE OUT THEIR ADDRESS WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. You didn’t mail the q’s they ordered properly, then asked a different buyer to send them for you! That was ALL ON YOU. Get a pair of big girl panties and own up to your mistakes. Stop harassing all of us who read LMKIA daily.
Melody, you make absolutely no sense in your messages. But for the fun of it, I’ll answer anyway.
1-I did not delete your message. You used a fake IP/email address, and the Wordpress spam software could not verify the information you gave. It automatically checks all comments every few hours and deletes those that do not match up to the information given. Note how many of the messages that used fake names (Jose/Bobby/etc) that were removed.
2–I am from KY, across the river from Cincinnati. I don’t hide that, I’m pretty open with it…so where exactly is the lie? You like to make a lot of accusations–but never have anything to make them stick.
3–Hi Sallie Mae.
Thank you for the recommendation! You are too kind. I might not have a TON of coupons each week nor do I get my coupons early, but I do offer AWESOME customer service & money saving tips!!! My goal it to help people save money. I wanted to thank you personally. It is people like you who share the deals and teach others how to do it that help moms like myself be able to stay home and live a bit more frugal. I am learning every day more and more on how to save money! Thank you!
LOL, April, after all the drama from the one seller I didn’t recommend, its nice to see one I did!!
Mamasoldit is a favorite of mine! You really DO offer awesome customer service! When I order from you, I know I can count on my coupons to be here fast and exactly as I ordered them!
Wow, first of all I can’t believe that someone would write you about not recommending him or her that is just unbelievable. Second, thanks! I really try hard to put the customer first. I treat people how I want to be treated. Plus I don’t EVER want to miss out on a sale myself. LOL Stockpiling is the name of the game at this house. J I don’t think I would need to buy Tide, shampoo, toothpaste, TP, paper towels, deodorant, body soap, make up, personal items or PowerAde for a year. Did I mention that I LOVE coupons?
