The way I understand this change, is that ebay will still "periodically" offer the larger percent periods...just the 1% "daily" reward will go away.

Most of the larger reward periods typically fall Monday through Thursdays , I am guessing to drive added traffic/purchases to the site.

There is also something else annoyingly 'new.'

It seems after I do one of my saved searches with "Time: newest listed" to see the stuff I haven't viewed yet, if I dare continue the search by, say, changing 1972 to 1973, that 'new' search now defaults to the ridiculous "Best Match." It's obviously not that big a deal, but why frickin' change it, ebay?? So you can shove the stupid, most expensive options down my throat??????!!!!! Those aren't the best matches for anything I'm searching for. I want "newest listed"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant over.

It’s a bummer. I remember maxing out 3-4 accounts with all the promotions they use to have. It was a nice chunk of change every three month. They went from 2% to 1% and eliminated almost all the 8-10% buck days.

When getting a 8-10% eBay bucks email I would go crazy with auctions just because of it.

Be frugal gives 2% a lot and it works / definitely worth checking out.

If you have a Target Red credit card you can buy eBay gift cards in store or Email Delivery cards online and save 5%. There are some limits on how many you can use per transaction or quarter.

My prediction is that these offers will come more frequently now, in an effort to spur sales more than just a flat 1% rate across the board would.
