I was the one that tipped people off last time with the preview, as I learned from another forum that they normally get posted to slickdeals before eBay actually sends them out.

I would agree with the above during the first 3 quarters of the year, however, not as much during the 4th quarter due to the holiday season.
My memory may be bad, but I seem to remember very few ebay coupons/ebay buck deals last December. I checked my old emails and on Dec 20th I received a lone ebay buck deal for 6-8% back "on last minute deals". I usually receive most all of these types of offers so there may have been other offers I did not receive last December/January. Again, receiving the majority of the offers is the norm for me. Either way, based strictly on my past experience, I would not look forward to many ebay coupon/ebay buck offers in December and into early January.
With the large number of ebay gift cards given in December, ebay must figure that there is no need to entice recipients to spend the gift card burning a hole in their pocket.
