They're as important as a free 2,000 dollars a year ought to be. It's my memory that there's a problem with lol

And I still haven't received a 5% offer for april yet, which sucks because I've already spent enough this month to max it out for the quarter again. (if they are still going to keep the same max. havent seen any notices about that)

ebay is getting rid of 1% ebay bucks for every transaction.

They will still offer ebay bucks special promos 5%, 8%, 10%...although it seems like it will just be 5%.

Thanks, Cliff, for your notes.

Ebay bucks has been dead since the passage of state taxes on internet sales. The program is not much of an incentive. Not to mention, the cost of EVERYTHING is going up. Shipping, fees, and price equilibrium wont last much longer. Prepare for an economic retreat or inflationary burst. Take your pick.

I don't pay tax on ebay purchases, so...

But even for people that do, it was a good way to get least get 1% of it back lol

lol... how much did you lose?

I ended up setting google calendar events to go off every few hours so I would finally spend them.

eh, like $50. I haven't been buying as much lately, and sales have been dead, so even less buying for inventory reasons.

You know, one time I was talking to ebay, and they noticed I let a few coupons expire. They said ebay doesn't like that. So he reinstated like, $300 worth of expired coupons. I'm guessing they already count them as a loss for tax reasons, or book keeping, and it messes things up. Only reason I can think of why ebay would be upset that we aren't spending "their" money.

Yeah, that's interesting. I've forgot about hundreds of bucks several times... wonder how far they will go back?

I drop ship from ebay.. that last event they had 2 weeks ago. i made $90 lol. i had maxxed out my $500 the previous quarter, so my goal now is to max out the 500$ everytime they offer the 5% so in the end, I still have ebay bucks.

can't hurt to try. just gotta get the right rep. It's sad how true that is. 5 reps, and you'll get 5 different answers and results for just about anything. No black and white, despite how much they claim otherwise

Don't know if they even have a max now, or what it would be, because the bucks last for an entire year.

Yeah, I never saw that addressed in any email... no limits would be awesome.
