eBay Bucks new terms
Another nail in the coffin. I received notification yesterday that now to redeem your eBay Bucks certificate, you must have a $5.00 minimum threshold per quarter earned in your eBay Bucks account. Anything less is forfeited. Another backdoor way to increase purchases (get above the $5.00 threshold) to collect more sellers' fees. I'm sure somehow eBay was losing profit margin on this. Some quarters the threshold would affect me, some quarters it wouldn't. But still, I liked the idea of being able to buy that 1987 Topps George Brett for virtually nothing.

Just one more reason for people to cheat eBay out of PayPal fees by using the gift option for purchases. A dish best served cold.

That's only true is you're sending PayPal Gift using a credit card. If you're sending it from a PayPal balance or from a linked bank account, there is no fee. |

As a result of our latest program review, the eBay Bucks Certificates to be issued for the quarter ending December 31, 2013, will be the last sent for Rewards that total less than $5.00. Effective January 1, 2014, program members must earn a minimum of $5.00 in eBay Bucks during a quarterly Earn Period in order to receive a Certificate at the end of the period. Quarterly balances below the $5.00 threshold will be forfeited. |

eBay Bucks new terms
They have to find a way to make more money without actually improving their business model...thanks eBay!
When I first read about the change I just laughed and told my wife about it. I mean, what's next? It's like they are trying their hardest to push people away from their site...just disappointing because I've always liked eBay and IMO they have went backwards the past few years or so.

Could be worse. Ebay cancelled the ebay bucks program for Canadians last year.

Shhhh. Don't let eBay find out about "buyer's premiums" or else they'll figure some way to work that into the equation too. Only in the Collectibles categories though, b/c collectors are the only buyers nutty enough to stand for such a thing.

I used to get a kick out of seeing what cheap gadget I could buy from Hong Kong with my eBay bucks.

Seriously, guys?
All you have to do is spend $250 per quarter to get to the $5 threshold. Heck, if you do it on Double eBay Buck Days, you only have to spend $125 per quarter. I don't see what the big fuss is about. |

It's petty on ebay's part...that's the point. When companies try to give and help it's customer base, eBay seems to find a way to work in reverse. Is $5 a big deal? Of course not...but the point speaks louder.

But as to no bucks under $5, i can understand any business doing that. Its supposed to be an incentive to make you buy a little more, and if you havent reached $5, then the incentive didnt work on you.

It could have been worse. I'm not surprised that they haven't removed the e-bay bucks away all together. E-bay has been riding the greedy train since 5/1 of this year when they decided to charge a 9% flat rate fee on all e-bay fees, even with an e-bay store.

The big picture is easy to understand, but my beef with it is why offer it in the first place if you are just going to take it away? It was a nice perk for everyone, not just the people that splurge on eBay. Either way, it's not a big deal to me, it just seemed like a weak move. I'm guessing they took it away because their profits are not on the rise? and they have to find a way to help reverse that trend. Why else would they completely strip the eBay bucks program away from Canada...
