I won an auction last night, received and activated the latest offer this morning, and then I went to pay for the auction afterwards and I got the extra eBay bucks.
So, apparently, the eBay bucks are based on when you pay, not on when you win. So, it pays to delay payment in case a promotion is around the corner.

I've thought that before too, but it turned out to not be the case. While paying for an auction I won before it started, it SAID I was earning the extra bucks, but when I later went to my ebay buck page to confirm, it had only given me the normal amount. Here's hoping you got lucky though!
just bought a pre 33 graded gold with a mintage of 25,000. I bought it immediately after it was listed, sometimes it's about being at the right place at the right time

I had something similar except that I was sent an offer that I activated the night before and then bought something. Didn't get the bucks. Called them and said that I had activated to soon for the next day promotion.
Interesting feedback on the next day eBay bucks issue. The calculator at checkout shows the promotion amount but I will have to see if I actually got that.
I got 8%, up to $100 per item, total of up to $500 for 2/14 & 2/15/2019. I got 4 $20 common MS63 St. Gaudens in PCGS plastic. The $100 per coin bought the cost to less than $100 over melt.

With respect, that is too much for common 63 Gaudens. You can do better than that on price.

Got it as well this time. Any solid pre-33 deals you all are seeing?
I bought a cleaned $10 indian for $718 from Apmex but not sure that was the best available deal they were just running low and I didn't have time to explore more.
Arrrrgh, I paid for a Sunday night win that would have qualified about ten minutes before getting the alert.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Best price I see on gold is the 1 oz Comm Arts medals, $20 under melt from Ampex. They also have Roosters and Sov's for just under melt. $10 Libs (cleaned) just under melt. Since gold's up over $100 since fall, prices now aren't as tempting.

I did not get the promotion again for 2nd time in a row. I talked to ebay customer service, they said that the promotions should go to all customers. i explained how my settings were wrong before but an ebay rep. fixed my settings for me and I got the next one. I didn't get the last one so this time i contacted them. She said my settings were good and that she could not see where they had sent me the promo. She put a ticket in to IT to check for problems and gave me a 25$ coupon!
If anyone did not get a promo offer, I would check your settings, if they are set to allow offers and specials, contact Ebay.
Thank You guys for alerting me of the promo, otherwise I would have never known.
I just called eBay and they confirmed all my settings were fine, but they said I was not "invited" to participate. I asked if there is a criteria like sell a lot or buy a lot, or is it they just don't like me, and he said the promos are sent out "randomly".
Since I never win lotteries either, I guess it is just not my lucky day, or year for that matter. Random discrimination?

Not random at all. I have 4 accounts. One always gets them, one never gets them, and the other two are hit or miss. There is definitely some algorithm to who gets them, they just don't want to tell you that. My theory is that they don't send them often to accounts that are really active. My main buying and selling accounts hardly ever get them. My other accounts that sit inactive other than during promo offers get them a lot.

May I ask how do you set up 4 accounts? I really would like to know because of the eBay bucks benefits. Do you link all 4 to the same PayPal account? How do you keep ebay from catching that? Thanks

All four use the same paypal account, phone numbers, etc. Not sure why they don't catch it. They probably just don't care, as it is still bringing them tons of revenue.

If you are using the bonus buck offer today, you might want to check the amount credited. I bought 4 identical lots from Apmex and 3 of them showed the correct price and correct eBay Bucks, but the 4th lot had a different price in eBay bucks than on the invoice and they owe me $6.70.
They don't know how or why but she said it may be a system problem. So, unless they just hate me, it could probably happen to anyone.

Not a stupid question as they have had those promotions in the past but I have not seen one lately.
I learned something new today.

bonus buck promos do not go out to all eligible members each time they are offered.

We received the bucks today for my wife's account. we weren't included in the past 2-3 offerings.
In my account which is much busier, I haven't received an e-bucks offering this year.
Perhaps I received too many offerings to buy and sell in the past quarter?

I’m seeing 6% Bucks upon checkout using the app instead of 10%. Does anyone else have this problem?
LIBERTY SEATED DIMES WITH MAJOR VARIETIES CIRCULATION STRIKES (1837-1891) digital album
Once again but this time is glorious TWO PERCENT!? And likely will be the only offer for the month as it ends 3-31.

Good Point!
Looks like some accounts received the 2% while others got 10%.
I got the 10 percent, and already found a few things i'm going to bid on. if I don't win I found some buy it now or best offers that I will offers on
I got 10% for today/tomorrow, going to check my watch list to see if I want anything.
That 2% is a joke!
I did not get that 10% but I got that 2%
I listed some reasonably priced proof platinum eagles eligible for the bucks offer if anyone is interested:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/1madman/m.html?_trksid=p3692
A barely used account got 2%, and my main buying account got 10%! That's a first.
I always get the max on all accounts. This time, one account got the 2%, nothing on the others.
8% on web, 10% in app up now for at least some of us. Probably last of the quarter.
looks like the 15 percent e bucks promo will not be in March this year like it was last year
