Quite possibly the most lucrative eBay bucks offer to date...

galaxy27 · June 22, 2014 7:20PM

This one is extremely sick, fellas. Granted there appears to be some limitations (auctions only), but as B.o.B. sang a couple of years ago, "You never had it so good."

Have yet to receive a formal email or message regarding this, but I tripped over it while perusing this morning. Starting tomorrow morning and lasting until end of the 26th, the breakdown is as follows:

Double bucks (4%) from $50-$99.99
Triple (6%) from $100-$149.99
Anything $150 and beyond is quadtastic (8%)

But here's where it really gets good:

ANY purchase earns an extra 5%, REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT.

So in summation:

$.01-$49.99 earns 7%
$50-$99.99 earns 9%
$100-$149.99 earns 11%
$150+ earns 13%

eBay has brought me mucho consternation over the years, but I've gotta distribute some props this time. To put it into perspective, on a normal day sans any type of offer, a min purchase of 5k would be required to earn the max ($100) for a single purchase. With this offer, $769.23 will stick a picture of Ben Franklin in your hands.

Hope everyone is afforded this opportunity!

Thank you for sharing this!

we are seeing an increase in store sales, quite possibly as a result of this

hope it comes thru, I've been waiting to pull trigger on a few auction items and this will be just the incentive I needed.....

Seriously? Thx Stephen.

coachnip13 · June 22, 2014 11:26PM

And add another 1% if you use Bill Me Later.

DanBessette · June 23, 2014 5:43AM

I'm unfamiliar with eBay bucks. How does it work? Are those dollar thresholds for one purchase? Or could you reach $50 total in 5 purchases, for example?

Coucher73 · June 23, 2014 7:34AM

You can always tell when eBay thinks they are going to struggle to meet Wall Street expectations for a certain period when they do something like this at the end of the quarter.

In order for you to reach the different thresholds, it would count for single purchases. I.e. Buy a card for $150 and receive the 8% + 5%, of course eBay would have had to sent you an email asking you to join the program.

Very Nice.

The quarter is ending next week, so that makes sense

1neatstuff · June 23, 2014 9:24AM

thanks for the info I might have to list a few high end boxes and packs

About three weeks ago I got a 10% eBay bucks offer if I spent $250+ which I promptly did.

psychump · June 23, 2014 3:04PM

All sellers free listings already!

WalterSobchak · June 24, 2014 12:41AM

This offer is going to get me to look for a card to buy when I had absolutely NO intention of buying anything for the rest of this month.

That's good marketing, right there.

+1, got the offer this morning and as soon as I get a few listings up will be shopping again.

Apparently double, triple and quad is in effect for BINs as well, but the extra 5% only applies to auctions.

Happy hunting, compadres.

jeffcbay · June 24, 2014 3:40AM

So I just spent $350 on a card last week, earned $7.00. Bad timing.

Ebay's been doing these so often, I'm putting off bigger purchases until the next one comes around unless it's something that will obviously sell quickly on a BIN or is an item rare to find auctioned.

This was an auction, so I didn't have the luxury of waiting. That's the most I've spent on a card in a year. Oh well... it was a 1982 Fleer Ripken RC in PSA 10, so I was stoked.

Sounds like a good price. I thought those were over $500 at one point in the past year or two.

This is the first thing I thought too.

Some even topped $600 at one point, but lately they've been dipping down at around $375. I've been bidding on these for a long time now and I finally snagged one. Probstein123 for the win!

shu4040 · June 24, 2014 4:10AM

i have an ebay bucks account, but aren't receiving any of these "offers". Do i just assume it applies to me as well, or do i have to sign up for them specificially?

esquiresports · June 24, 2014 5:02AM

I haven't seen anything yet either. Fingers crossed.

LarkinCollector · June 25, 2014 10:34PM

I just realized this was for auctions-only this go around, BINs don't get the bonus.

ETA: and they must be paid for also by midnight Pacific.

kingbeeswax · June 25, 2014 10:54PM

Good timing with ebay bucks coming in a week.

Davis · June 25, 2014 11:34PM

Any thoughts on why some folks get the 2x, 4x, etc. offers and others don't? I have my 'promotions' turned on but have only gotten one 2x offer in recent months. I did get the $20 coupon though, which is cool.

I have a feeling it's based on either amount spent on eBay on the previous quarter, number of items purchased, total feedback, or some combination of all of these. Without input from eBay, I don't think there's any way to be certain.

Also, I've seen on other forums that at least some people who didn't receive the email are getting the bonus. Check this item:

Link

If it shows $3.36 in eBay Bucks, you're getting the bonus. If it shows $0.96, you're not.

kingbeeswax · June 26, 2014 12:03AM

Just get an extra ebay account and you will most likely get all the promotions on the new name

Quite possibly the most lucrative eBay bucks offer to date...
