Proliferation of eBay Bucks Bonus emails?

Holy cow. I seem to get at least one email offer a week from eBay, to earn extra Bonus eBay Bucks.

Is everyone getting these? I would think so since I'm basically a nobody.

I'm to the point I usually won't pull the trigger without having one available. Just wish there was something decent to buy.

    Nope, none,nada, zip, zero and zilch offers.



    Signed up for all emails, promos, etc and never get one.



    It's okay, I'm broke at the moment anyway!! Spent my coin money on re-piping the whole house! Set me back for a while for sure...broken water pipe under my slab...ugh.

    I started a buying (vs a selling) account and am getting these there.

    The other day, used it to buy a proof IHC. Was only 8% imageimage

    Today, with the new offer, didn't see anything coin related right now, but there were a few things for around the house that I saw....priced about what AMZN is (a little less) but with ebay bucks, so I just pulled the trigger.



    I find that I get better "deals" with the ebay bucks when I get non-coin stuff, for some reason.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I received one today for 5x eBay bucks (10%).

    Bought a few things, a book I've been wanting, and some coins for resale.

    This is the first offer I've received in a while though.

    I bought 3 household items on eBay this month and they all were shipped from Amazon.

    People with Amazon Prime accounts are listing items from Amazon to get free shipping with their Prime accounts and drop shipping them as gifts.

    They must also get some kickback because the prices are pretty much the same.

    Yeah, same here. I've been getting 2 offers repeatedly for a while, about every week now. Even a 3 day one, and more with no minimum. What's that tell us? My experience has been the more I activate the offers, whether it's used or not, the more I seem to get them. Been planning my buying around them, but I've about maxed out on funds and rewards on 2 accounts, so I hope they keep coming next quarter.

    Late last year I was getting them all the time, this quarter I did not receive a single one. There is a coin that I've been waiting for a bonus bucks promo to make an offer, maybe I'll have better luck next quarter.

    Haven't received one in a couple years. Maybe I need to log into my new account more often.

    I get em and use em and get even more. eBay is awesome. eBay customer service is the worst of any business on this planet.
