I'm not sure why, but it seems that they slowly have been taking things away from the coin buyers. websites that also offer shopping rebates for various web "stores" have also seen the coins & paper money get set to 0.00 rebate. If someone knows a site that still does have a rebate... don't worry, I expect it to be gone eventually.
perhaps we hit them too hard, but isn't that why they offer promos?
Excluded from earning ebay bucks:
"Among other restrictions, purchases made in the following categories DO NOT qualify:
eBay Motors (including Parts & Accessories)
Classifieds
Real Estate
Gift Cards & Coupons, but only for eBay Gift Cards within that category
Coins & Paper Money, but only for Bullion within that category
Business & Industrial"
I was talking about using an eBay Gift Card
anything in the Coins & Paper money category can't be bought with an eBay gift card

all ebay sales for graded gold walking liberty coins are currently a Pre-Sale. This one is the currently lowest price for a 70 First Strike. Good price for the collector.

I didn't have much time yesterday to look but I did get 7$ face of half dollars for $86 , even without considering Ebay BUCKS I consider that pretty decent deal.

I was under the impression that quarterly certs will not be issued until 1/4.. Per eBay: "January eBay Bucks certificates will be issued to members on January 4, 2017" ..... Mine is also in my account, but I suspect there is a glitch with eBay, they may have been issued prematurely. I suspect they will be valid tomorrow.

Bingo!
From what I have seen, they aren't valid until 1/4 (Weds). You are too earlier.
glad to see 8% considering they lowered regular ebay bucks from 2% to 1%.
member reporting in US coin forum that he did in fact receive bonus bucks when making a counter offer. Good to finally have this question confirmed concerning ebay bucks and "make offer" transactions.

I haven't received an ebay bucks promotional offer in literally years.
I even went through the effort to call and inquire why I was no longer getting the offers, to no avail. I got, it's just random, as an answer.

Check the ebay homepage. The "banner" should have an offer of 8% today but you have to activate it to get it. I didn't receive an email this time.
Thanks. I was going to get a 1oz GAE but the ebucks would have capped at $100 back on that (so, not the full benefit) and I would have had to pay more out of pocket, using my current ebucks.
Using your choice, I only paid ~$300 out of pocket and get another $50.xx ebucks next quarter.
Using Bronco's first link for the Apmex $10 gold on ebay, I used my ebucks and the 8% ebucks deal.
The coin came in today.
I expected a simple gold $10 commem in a capsule. What I got was a NGC slabbed $10 gold commem. Interesting in that this is the lowest graded slabbed commem I have seen.
Obviously, I didn't buy it for the grade, but for the gold content. (Photo is from NGC's shot of it). Price guides have it for $760 but, I think it is more the gold content than it is near the price guide.
Btw.....the picture makes it look much nicer than it is. It has hairlines/scratches that aren't evident in that photo.....

Sometimes APMEX gets a bad rap but I've gotten a few pleasant surprises along those lines . Its a low grade for something like that but the upside is it should make it easy to sell since its been authenticated.
It does seem odd that someone would slab that if it was scuffed up , there is probably a story behind it.

Just thought I'd give a heads up on some silver and gold deals found at MCM on Ebay with the 10% Ebucks.
2017 Silver Philharmonic lots of 5 that would equal just under spot for a roll of 20.
2017 8g gold Pandas that comes out to about $28 over spot per oz.
2017 15g gold Pandas that comes out to about $10 under spot per oz. when bought separately.
I gave up on MCM with these deals because they always stupidly dual listed items in the bullion category and disqualified them from bucks. Have they changed that?

Did not get one; did receive a $15 flash sale 2 weeks ago if you spent $60 or more...
