eBay bucks in 2017

[Snapolit1]

Will be interesting to see how stingy they are with the bonus promotions in 2017. I got more bonus promotions in December than I've ever gotten.

Happy new year to all. Many you find that card you've been searching for at 50% less than what you expected to pay. And then may you reslab it and get a bump up.

Interesting. I haven't had a bucks offer for probably 6 or 7 weeks but my habits are the same. I would love to see how they decide to hand those out.

Happy 2017 to all!

I haven't had any bonus offers in several months... aside from some great Net54 members who let us know about 'quick deals'. Thanks for that!

Base percentage for Ebucks is now 1% - down from 2%

-they say the new ebucks system allows for more flexibility, but if you only use them to purchase BBCs, you are screwed.

I got $316.32 coming on Jan 3rd. I had 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% at various times. Hope they continue with the extra bonuses.
Also used Ebates.com and bought eBay gift cards at Target which gave me an instant 5% discount. Every bit helps.

In the two plus years since I signed up for the Bucks and the bonus promotions I have received the additional bucks promotion one time. I used it to buy an unopened 1979 Topps football wax box that cost almost $1000 so I received almost $100 in bonus bucks. I had the seller ship the box to BBCE for authentication. The packs were 1979 wrappers and outer box with 1980 cards in them. Topps had reused the 1979 wrappers for some 1980 and 1981 cards so this sometimes happens. The wax seals were fine but the box went from being a $1000 box to being a $300 box. I returned the box to the seller and eBay took the $100 bucks from me when the seller refunded my money. My eBay spending is pretty close to the same every quarter except for the last quarter. I usually earn a little over $100 bucks every quarter at 2%. I earned $116 this quarter and $203 last quarter. I have talked to eBay a few times about the promotional additional % bucks and got basically the same response each time. Buyers that are included in the promos are picked at random and there is nothing that anyone at eBay can do to change that in the system. One of the times that I asked about it the guy I was talking with actually added $20 bucks to my total. This was probably a year ago. I still haven't been included in the promotion. END OF RANT

At the end of the year I kept a few more expensive cards on my watch list. Wonder if that affected how frequently I got bonus offers. Trying to push me over the line.
