That's not discriminating unless they aren't sending it to you because you are black...or a woman...or some other arbitrary standard based on a protected status.
Cable TV has new customer discounts all the time that don't apply to existing customers. Not illegal. I hate it...but not illegal.
I'm not sure how eBay determines who gets what. You have to have your account set up properly to get them at all.
Sign up for all offers and using the app helps. Even if you just use it to search or buy. It sucks for selling unless you're relisting with "sell similar".
I got on the last ebucks train, but yet again, right as I gotta pay for stock.
I did buy a half dime proof which caught my eye and the 8% brought down to a fair price but I'm going to hold out looking for anything more in hopes of another end of quarter 15% like in March. Have a few hundred to use up and a 15%er would do the job nicely

I was holding out for a 10%-er, but with 10 days left in the quarter and gold $20s being as cheap as they were (see above), I couldn't resist buying a few.

I've yet to ever get them too, also as well.
I never got them until I changed my settings. You have to be signed up for eBay bucks AND enable the spam emails from eBay. I started getting twice daily urgings from eBay to buy something, but then I also started getting all the offers.

Did all of that but to no avail.
Don't know, something is amiss. I get them on both of my accounts

If you speak nicely of the great and powerful ebay, then you get the bonus.
If you speak badly about feebay, then no soup for you.

I personally think ebay is super awesome!
Ebay has phenomenal power, any day now they could buy out some of the major numismatic auction houses. I have heard to never insult big money, bad things could happen....Whereas if you are a reliable sycophant, ebay groupie, lackey, flunky and yes man for the all powerful mighty auction and listing company good things will happen! After this free advertising puffery for them I'm expecting all sorts of wonderful offerings in my non-spam email folder!
I recall someone on another board is purported to have called eBay to ask why he wasn't getting his extry eBay bucks and was tole he warn't a big enuf buyer.

20 year heavy buying account didn't get an offer for last several years, recently it has received 1 or 2. Newer account where I rarely buy anything gets pretty much every offer. So I don't think it matters if you buy a lot, seems almost the opposite to me.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Frankly, if I'm ebay, I would do it the opposite (as you suggest). You don't need to encourage power buyers, you need to encourage the people who don't buy.

Well he posted it so it's not like it was someone else's he said. But I'm not the only one here who has never gotten them.

Again, I don't know how eBay decides. There have been times I've gotten them on one account and not the other. All I can say for sure is that it doesn't go out to big spenders because only twice have I ever even used the offers.
I also know a couple people who haven't gotten any, but I'm not sure they are set up properly. I thought I was and wasn't getting them until I went in and changed my preferences and then I did get them. I would still double check your email preferences to make sure you get the marketing literature. It also can't hurt to occasionally click on the marketing emails.

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
They dint tell me bout nuffin....snif.
I got the 10 percenter a cuppla days ago but I guess there's a limit to their unbounded generosity.
Got the same offer of 6% and 8%
No offer for me this time
I got squat even though I did capitalize on the last 10% offer.
Kind regards,

ive noticed the offers have displayed on the ebucks page, so check there also sometimes.

Agreed - crazy cheap - and I'm not a gold bug.
Why aren't all of their buyers getting the same thing? Aren't they discriminating, which is against the law.
Bought this for my type set. Probably would have purchased it anyway, but the extra $100 in ebay bucks was appreciated.

I've yet to ever get them too, also as well. And I have things set right. All I ever get is their crap wanting me to sell. TY, but No Thanks.

Its like if you are ever asked to go out on a private boat, you always say yes. Or never get invited again.
Ebay knows I almost always use the offer so I always get it.
