eBay Bucks - Do they affect your bidding habits?

[clydepepper]

I haven't seen one of their bonus offers at all this quarter. Seems like I would have had several opportunities thus far.

I did, however, get a 20% discount on fees from my last group of sales (as a top rated seller)...I have several more up for sale right now...we will see if they come up with another 20%.

Perhaps, they don't offer the seller 'rebates' to the same person who gets 'purchasing' offers.

Just wanted to let you know that I received a flash sale today via eBay for 8% eBay bucks for the next 6 hours, Too bad Ebates is only 1% today in the sports memorabilia category.

I don't like this new phenomena. I got it too, and seems we may now mostly/only be getting these "flash" deals for a few hours as opposed to the 2 day offers. The deal ends before most/any auctions close, so guessing it's mainly a way for them to boost BIN sales. When it went for 2 days, it'd often overlap with Probstein, even PWCC end times.

I know it's free money, so shouldn't complain. I just think I got spoiled by the 2 day, 10% bid buck offers.

OK, I use my ebucks each quarter, where am I missing out on the 8 percent deals or 8x ebucks?

I always hold my bucks for a T card of some sort. If I am buying an old publication or a newer card I just pay for it, quirky but I just enjoy using them on T cards?

Me too, Mike. I guess I must be missing something also. I've only been an eBay member for 18 years
