Not a surprise.
Ebay has been screwing it's sellers for the last 4+ years with a new shaft weekly. They are just logically spreading the love butter to their buyers too. - Justin

Be interesting to see if the eBay Bucks program goes away or is severely curtailed.

Whenever someone says they have 'exciting changes' for you, that's code for 'You're not going to be happy with this.'
I'm somewhat curious about earning them as a seller. I don't sell a ton on eBay but I'll be interested to read more about that. Although, even there it says 'occasional' opportunities. I'm wondering if they'll limit it to special items when they're trying to have a sale on certain things (i.e. sell your iPhone 5 on eBay and earn 1%). Hooray.

Whenever Ebay gets "excited" about something, you know bad news is sure to follow.

Lots of complaining around here! Nobody spoke up when ebay cancelled the ebay bucks program for Canadians. At least you still have 1%!

I'm not surprised eBay is cutting the regular program from 2 to 1%. They certainly have been ramping up the promotional eBay bucks programs lately. For instance, I can get 2% regularly (currently), but then they'll do a "flash sale" with 8% eBay Bucks for 1-2 day periods on orders of $50 or more. These come up at least once a month. The 2% is an after-thought. The 8% usually sparks activity.
I was wondering recently if these type of eBay promotions + the 1-5% you can get back from eBates might be impacting the price of cards upwards. A simple VCP pricing model simply can't adjust for these mid-month perks that aren't reflected in the price. A card that is purchased for $1,100 on eBay is really worth only $1,000 when a person can get $100 back from eBay Bucks + eBates. As a seller, I hope my listings are ending on the day that the 8% promotion takes place! It also pushes me to consider doing more fixed price listings (and not auction listings) so I can take advantage of these flash sales when they pop up. Anyway, yes, disappointed about the decrease from 2 to 1%, but I suspect we may simply see more flash sales and/or seller promotions to increase buying activity at the whim of eBay.

bucks
I have been a buyer and seller on eBay since 1998 and I have never been offered a flash sale or any type of incentive other than regular ebay bucks.

15 years and 100% feedback and Ebay can't send me one bucks offer since it's inception. ...and yes I have checked my settings and called Ebay 3 times to get the runaround on it. The answer is simply..."we have no competition so run like a ship with no rudder and a hole in the hull." (maybe that's just what I hear, lol)

This information could result in the resumption of the Frank Bucks program.

This is obviously a bummer, but also quite odd. They have been giving out 4x, 6x, 8x quite a bit lately. I wonder why they've been offering so many promos if they really just wanted to cut the program? I guess it could have been intentional to make us feel like we have got some good perks lately right before they shut it down.

2% to 1%
As long as they keep offering the 4X, 8X or 10X promotions every month or so, I don't think the changes will effect me much. I usually only buy during those times anyway. I always have a few overpriced BINs saved in my Watch List and justify the purchase when they offer one of those promotions.

The fine print accompanying this change now states that each user will only be entitled to the rewards on a single account only, no matter how many accounts they have. I wonder how they will police users with multiple accounts that accrue ebay bucks....should I put my second/buying account in my kids name or start using my wife's long time account? |

I think it will level out since they are going to give ebay bucks to sellers
Earn Bucks when you sell. We’ll be adding occasional promotions so you can also get rewarded when your items sell on eBay.** Last edited by MR RAREBACK; 12-01-2016 at 12:09 PM. |

Between eBates cutting off sports memorabilia (5%) and this, my discount on eBay items has fallen from 7% to 1%.
Not happy. ETA: Bet that they jack up selling fees too...
