What are you buying with your 4X eBay bucks?

But I did use it.......

And put that coin on a credit card too for an extra 1% cash back. Almost $70 off!

Very odd.....I got the 4X offer on my BUYER acct, but only a 2X offer on my SELLER acct. Anyone else get the double reward offer as opposed to the 4X reward offer, or one of both if you have two accts??

 

Neither do I...ever since I joined I have always had more than $5 in rewards. I think it's fine for them to do whatever they want to do. It was nice when they didn't have a minimum...but it's their choice. Like any big company, they access their financials and and decide if the advertising benefits outweigh the costs. I'm sure they decided setting a limit was better. I'm cool with that. $250 in 3 months isn't that much.

 

I only have one account where I buy and sell, and I got no offer at all.

 

This is my 3rd 4x offer this month. I guess eBay really wanted me to buy something big!

 

My second one that I can remember for a nice return. What's up with them pushing for sales?

 

I also have one acct used for buying and selling and did not get the offer. I haven't received a buyer offer in about a year.

So I think it's time to open a new acct for just buying.

 

Well I guess the cat's out of the bag!!!! I typically reserve my buying now to when they offer these deals. I currently have $265 in ebay bucks waiting for me to spend them. I typically walk away with anywhere between $200-300 a quarter. And like one of the other guys said......ITS FREE MONEY!!!!

Here is another secret for those of you that don't know. So once you're signed up for ebay bucks, go ahead and sign up for a Bill Me Later account. You get an additional 1% back when you charge it to Bill Me Later. Then I linked my Bill Me Later account to my bank account and immediately pay it off. Whammo! More free money!!!

Good luck and don't go crazy!!!

 

This begs the question, how many others received the 10% coupon as well?

 

The problem is there is a $100 limit on cash back per purchase. Also if you spend a lot then you will max out at $500 a quarter so if you already have $450 coming then buying anything no matter what promotion is going on will max you're bucks at $50 for that purchase

 

I have noticed more "ebayBucks" 4x, 8x, and bonus coupons lately, coming to my email, as I have not spent as much.. coincidence?

 

I did similar with some ebay bux last time.. what is it about them that makes you wanna buy some GOLD...

 

Sigh....

 

Well that sucks

 

Most of what I have been buying recently are coins/bullion so I wouldn't have earned eBay bucks anyway.

 

I think eBay has to take another look at their no eBay bucks for bullion policy. Many silver eagles don't trade like bullion or for anywhere neat melt. Some ase are selling for 40-60 bucks. So why is bullion exempt from eBay bucks. I believe it's the same commission rate as coins. Is it because the big sellers get breaks on bullion sales

 

I had a friend who wanted to take advantage of the ebay bucks 4x offer but he wanted to buy bullion. He found a individual seller (not a large company) and contacted them He asked them if they would mind switching their listing from bullion to coins. They did, he bought it and got the bonus bucks. There are always ways around the system.

 

A 1981 Trinidad and Tobago sterling silver proof set issued for the fifth anniversary of the Republic and a pane of 10 of the new $19.99 USS Arizona Memorial postage stamps. Both hobbies got a goodie!

 

Stick to it the system!

I'll do that from time to time with silver eagles, put them in coins and just list them as dollars, not bullion.

 

I am getting close to 50 bucks back.Decisions now as what to use it for.
