    I read that as a maximum possible total discount of $200.
    Or do they mean only $100?

    I think it means a 15% discount to a maximum of $100 for that transaction and limited to two transactions per eBay/PayPal account holder.

    $666.66 is the optimal purchase price to obtain max discount
    I picked up 20x1oz 2013 Koalas for $600 plus $10 postage
    once discount of 15% is applied I paid $520 delivered which equates to $26/coin
    is it a good buy, I have no clue :) but seemed good at the time

    You can get below spot on low premium items (which are a little short at the moment :)) $200 coins at $500 would get you spot - 12%, which is a pleasant transaction, with $160 of other purchases to put into your cart to get the maximum discount. Another strategy is to look at some US low-premium coins, although the postage is a real pain - note that you don't get discount on postage.

    Because the seller may not be 'aware' of the discount you probably cannot rely on the sale price for imported items dropping below the $1,000 mark, despite the fact that you have paid $100 less.

    I saw that one! It was a good deal however I was not comfortable buying it as its not so common to trade.

    I had to waste some cash and I end up buying couple of watches :) As someone did a good calculation on optimum saving levels of $666.66, I made sure I was getting a good deal by "spending" more money on fashion :)
