Unbelievably cheap magazine subscriptions

Leave yours...

Another good option is to buy a subscription with airline miles:

For instance, The Week (a fab magazine, IMHO)… priced at $14.60 on ebay, but available for 700 miles on the miles site (worth $7-10 or so).

You can also get free magazine subscription offers from www.freebizmag.com

http://www.magazinepricesearch.com

is also another good place to look.

I think there’s a lot of ebay magazine distributors that also offer Maxim for free with any other subscriptions. Maxim is practically for free I believe, in fact, they PAY the distributors money to get subscribers.

*shrug* increase subscriber coverage = increase ad revenue.

But unavailable to CANADA!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!

Make sure you check the feedback on the sellers of these magazines. I bought a subscription from bestdealmagazines.com and I never got it. They said it would take up to 12 weeks, well its been closer to 52 and I have never seen it. Fortunetly it was only 3 or 4 dollars so it's not too much of a loss.

The truth is that the prices you pay that are so low are not authorized by publishers. They tell sellers the cheapest they can sell for.

Most publishers ban people from selling their subscriptions once they are caught on ebay selling magazines. It is beyond me why ebay won't just cancel all magazine sales but they don't.

when publishers find out that a particular order was placed on ebay the cancel that sellers account and usually REFUSE to honor those subscriptions.

If it sounds too good to be true it probably ends. Until the publishing world finds a way to stop what they call rogue sellers consumers will win I guess.

Magazine Seller *or whoever wants to answer* although a clearinghouse says they do not want their agents selling subscriptions on eBay, they really can't stop you from doing it, and it isn't technically illegal is it?

Or you could go on a bargain website (fatwallet.com, slickdeals.org etc...) and get subscriptions for free. I have gotten 2 years of Maxim, 2 years of FHM, a year of Giant, and a few others i can't remember for free. The magazines get so much money from advertisements that they may offer some free subscriptions just to boost their sales numbers in order to look more attractive to potential advertisers.

I ran across this on a google search. I have been desperatley trying to fisgure out how to sell magazine subscriptions on ebay. I have e-mailed a few Clearing houses and they have told me ABSOLUTELY NOT. They do now allow sales for ebay??? yet it is not in their contract. I could use some help here! Thanks in advance, Tiffany

Yeah I got screwed too. I read this post and went on eBay in May, paid my three bucks or whatever and had the mag sent home, cause I was in a different city. I've been home for a month or so and just thought to check on it- apparently the user (discountmagazinedirect0) is gone and the last 100 comments or so are people pissed off for not getting their subscriptions. At least I wasn't trying to buy a car or something. Lesson learned.

Just make sure you get them off reputable sellers. I've got maxim, fhm, and razor for the past 2 years now on a 4 year subscription

I got Ring Magazine on Ebay for around $16 from the seller Subscriptions4less. It took around 10 weeks to arrive but was well worth it! HUGE SAVINGS for boxing fans.

I have also bought from, subscriptions4less, off of ebay. I have never had any problems getting my magazines from them. If you want great prices on magazines, they are very trustworthy.

Magazines sold on eBay are not allowed by most publishers and their prices are always below authorized prices. The publishers have gotten strict about this so be careful. If the eBay seller gets caught, he will get delisted by their clearing house.

I bought five magazines from A seller on E-Bay and he was removed by E-Bay and I have yet to see my subscriptions. Seller said to allow up to 13 weeks for delivery. By the time I waited it was too late to get a refund through pay pal. Buyers beware of some sellers. I still wait in hopes. Has been 4 mo.

Don't use Mag4Less.com. They're a total scam and you won't get your magazines. Caveat Emptor!!!

The seller ratings and feedback on eBay for these magazine sellers should NOT be used. Often these stores set up multiple eBay ids and buy from themselves in order to give the impression that they are legitimate. This is a well known loophole with eBay. I would suggest buying from a seller who advertises a reasonable price, not one that is too good to believe.

I check often, and got Time magazine for 6.99/year

Prices change and can fluctuate fairly quickly

is there anywhere else on the internet to sell magazine subscriptions besides ebay ?

Many Ebay magazine Seller will sell magazine and honor them for first set of people to build up a high positive feedback score. Once they receive a reasonable amount, they will scam the rest. It a pyramid scheme.

I'm in the magazine business and have been working to stamp out rogue sellers for years. Many that claim they can supply the information for you to get started are simply scams. Some will offer to “clear” the orders for you at cents on the magazine dollar. Unless you have agreements with each magazine publisher for whom you want to sell subscriptions--it's a hit or miss proposition. I'll explain...

1. Some publisher's will take subscriptions from unknown sellers simply because they don't want to anger a potential customer that may have plunked down their hard earned money. Remember the complaints will go to the magazine publisher, not to the seller, so the publisher gets the bad rap. The rogue subscription agents know this.

2. Many publishers simply won’t take the money/subscription and you, as the seller, are stuck.

3. Publisher’s are getting angry and going after these rogue sellers—especially the ones that are attempting (illegally) to contact their subscribers. There are more than a few that are being investigated for mail fraud. Keep in mind, the subscriber list of a magazine is their lifeblood. It’s how they make their money. They will protect it. Everything hinges on the amount of quality readers they have. They set their advertising rates based on subscribers. If you try to steal their customers, it’s akin to stealing the tools one needs to perform their job. A carpenter will be pretty darn mad if you stole his tools and he couldn’t provide for his family.

4. Scammers and get rich quick schemes will never go away but do remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Ebay has stopped magazine subscriptions from being sold on there website. What a shame I got some great deals.

where are all the magazine dealers from ebay gone to?

I bought a subscription from an Ebay seller called "Superior Subscriptions" and got scammed. I called the publisher after about 2 months and they had no record of the subscription, ebay closed the sellers account and they are no longer in business. Got screwed so beware purchasing subscriptions from a third-party!

Just wondering if anyone has found another way to get the cheap magazine subscriptions that used to be availably off of ebay. I haven't been able to find anyone even close to those prices. thanks!
