    I rarely purchase anything on eBay outside of an eBucks promotional period

    I'm relatively new to eBay and I'm not a high roller there but it looks like waiting for eBucks has become my pattern.
    So far, the promotion has come around often enough to fuel this pattern.
    It's not 100% the case but it's up there.

    I purchase things on eBay regardless of whether an eBucks promotion is currently underway

    I buy what I think I will be able to resell, regardless if there is a promotion or not.
    The promotions (I think) tend to drive auction results a bit higher as most bidders are likely figuring the extra percentage they will be "getting back" into their bids.

    I just bought some graded pre-33 gold below spot gold price with the last 13 percent e bucks promo. once my state starts the new state internet tax, will probably buy very little, I am happy with what I already have

    I have bought coins wether or not eBay bucks are involved. I trying to keep my in progress sets at a high grade (MS66-67). So I need the eBay bucks to try and keep the costs down.

    Bargains rarely seem to come around when there is an ebay bucks promotion. Also the best auctions are usually Saturday or Sunday night. I think I have seen a promotion only 1 time in the past 4 or 5 years that was good on Saturday or Sunday.

    I don't think I've bought anything without a promotion in over a year. Part of it is I don't feel like putting in the time to find the deals which I know are there somewhere. The last 13% promo was fantastic, for 3 days I was putting in time scanning for stuff and at the end of it I only bought 5 pre-33 bullion priced coins after all that. If the 13% wasn't there I'd have bought 0.

    I have definitely saved items on my watch list until I got an eBay Bucks promotion, and I will sometimes make an offer accounting for the extra cash back, but in general I buy stuff when I see it regardless of the promo.

    I rarely buy outside of a promotion. Even during a promo, I usually just pick up gold, or 90% silver. That last 13% promotion was very nice.

    I miss the olden days of eBay.
