    I had about $35. My wife used it towards a pair of UGGs boots. Hope she enjoys them. :)

    I don't think I made the $5 minimum this past quarter. Most of my purchases were outside eBay!

    How do you get so many eBay bucks? I thought it capped out at $500 per quarter?

    If he spent enough money on Ebay to get over a $1,000 in ebay bucks I'm sure he can just wait and find something that he was going to buy anyway. (I.e. netting 100% rather than 75%)

    Even if you don't find anything during that month period you can buy Ebay gift cards with the money and spend them at a later date.

    If I remember correctly the last time I read Ebays terms of service you are allowed multiple accounts as long as you aren't doing it to evade bad feedback.

    Good to know. I'm not well versed in all the restrictions, but, I assume there are many.

    I had like $270, so I bought these 2. The 1807 half cent was free, the 1810 capped half cost me just $78!

    Umm my little notifications all over Ebay about the Ebay Bucks has disappeared.

    Like there is no tab on the left in MyEbay that you click to access the EBB program, usually with a dollar amount accrued like so ($X.XX). Missing.

    No more notification in my drop-down when I hover over the MyEbay access tab at the top of the page. Gone.

    There also seems to be a lack of estimated EBB on individual items now too. Poof.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I am having severe anxiety and panic attacks over this now.

    You know when you go to buy an item and click on the listing. Under the bid box is some info, and then shipping costs, watch buttons, etc? under that was a green E.B.B. and it told you how many bucks you would earn on that item.

    Im not even seeing that dialogue box on any active listings. Its like the whole program has been wiped from my account. Not just the most recent periods earnings.

    In fact, I already accrued about $15 new EBBs so far, and they just up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

    If you abuse the program, they have the right to take it away from you. Its in the agreement

    Yeah? You mean by spending thousands of dollars and not having any major issues with sellers?

    I've garnered over $100 as just a buyer collector for the last 4 quarters. Two over $250. I doubt they flagged me as an 'abuser' of the program

    For the past couple years I've been stacking these 1 oz silvers in a pamp box off and on. Looking to fill the box. Almost there. About the most expensive 1 ozers you can find so I'm sure not that bright to do, but I like them:

    Had I think $25 EBBs this time so this one cost me roughly $8.50 cash out of pocket. The EBBs takes some of the pain out of the purchase. I have 5 ozers too. Have to say, it's probably more satisfying buying a coin. But, when silver's up these are $50 bills or more. When I fill the box I doubt I'll start another one.

    I don't let the ebay bucks sit for long. Always afraid I'll forget about them and lose them, so I burn em. I'm probably at around $500 life time since the program began. You guys been busy!

    I always have some potential targets in mind when the week of redemption makes it's way around.

    Someone got me this time though. I was eye-balling an Hawaii 1883 quarter in AU-53 or 55 and didn't want to stretch the seller out too far on payment waiting for my EBBs. It goes literally the night I was debating that all in my mind, woke up to buy it, and it was gone. I should've purchased it and notified the seller of intended day of payment.

    They would've had to wait 5 days for payment, and I thought that was just too much of a stretch. Ahh. Better luck next time I guess.

    You rascal. I seriously thought to myself 'is he just not reading the words I am writing'? Ahh, I was getting so frustrated. Trolled so hard.

    Did you try logging out of eBay and back in?
