Anyone sign up for eBay bucks?

[Schatzy]

So I have seen the icon for a few weeks and decided to sign up.

What is eBay Bucks?

eBay Bucks is a rewards program for eBay members. If you join, you'll automatically earn rewards in the form of eBay Bucks based on your qualifying purchases. Every calendar quarter, the eBay Bucks you earned over that 3 month period will be issued to you in the form of an eBay Bucks certificate. You can use this certificate to buy more things on eBay!

Does this program cost anything?

Participation in eBay Bucks is FREE! There is no cost to enroll in the program.

Yes, I signed up.

[Schatzy]

The only thing I don't like is you only have 30 days to spend it.

I signed up and have earned $17 and change. I sure wish they had it last year. I would have earned big bucks then.

[gmarguli]

No. Never seen the icon. I guess I am considered a seller by eBay and therefore scum who doesn't deserve this reward.

[DC Dawg]

I just signed up and earned my first 3-cents!

It not for Sellers, it is for buyers. It like the whole MSN cashback thing.

I signed up - we'll see if the "bucks" help off set some of the rip-off fee(s)...

They did have this last year and I earned around $170 while using the 20-25% cashback. Unfortunately, I don't have the icon now and can't join again. It's just as well since I'm buying a lot less this year than I did last year.

I buy a lot also, but never see these offers with my main account. I used to occasionally see offers with my other accounts, but I guess eBay finally matched up the registered names and stopped those offers.

this makes me laugh!

 

they are giving you ebay dollars /or in some case ebay cents . it is money you have to use there. not much of a reward for spending if you ask me.

 

this is funny cause the bars here used to give prizes and such in the form of bar tab. which forces those patrens to give the money right back to the bar that rewarded them.

 

i offered 3 bars to be the prize support and was taken up on it. we now give cash money to the winners. we have open mic,dance offs and other fun things to get people having fun. the bars now have better business, and everyone is happy. also 90% of the winners do use the money to buy more drinks and continue having fun. but it is there choice!

 

eauctionemporium.com will send random money orders to folks for being buyers and sellers doing good business with folks. if they spend it somewhere else so be it. they deserve it!

This part is true however, I will simply use the money (ebay dollars) to purchase coins that I will either sell or to add to my silver bullion store. Either way, I will get these free or at a severely marked down level when compared to the open market and both will be liquid to generate money for me at any time I decide to sell.

great point!

 

but i see prices climb when things like this happen. the last time was when the microsoft thing was going. people would just raise the prices of the coins.

[EZ_E]

EZ for EZ. Great deal.

[Schatzy]

I just use my whopping $7.30 yesterday.

 

Well it look like it is a pretty good deal.

 

I just got a 20% discount on my eBay fees and I just about flipped.

[jtryka]

I've never even heard of this! I guess I must be the bottom of the barrel to eBay, though I keep getting e-mails urging me to become a powerseller. One more factor convincing me that I am right to do more and more coin transactions face to face at shows.

[TomB]

I do very little on ebay, either buying or selling, so I do not know how they chose the people involved.

[Jakeblue]

I just used $67 ebay bucks on what else? A coin. A really unique DDR Trade dollar.

 

Let me clarify: A really unique big boy graded DDR Trade dollar.

I posted I got an invite earlier in the thread - funny thing is my wife has an account and did not. So I have no clue how they're determining who receives the option.

 

 

So I rubbed it in...
