    Not everyone gets invited every time. I know this because my wife's account got an invite, but mine did not.

    Thanks for the update.



    Nothing for me yet, but I guess there's still hope.

    Been at least 6 months since I got one. Think it's random or they try to filter people that take major advantage?

    Last quarter was the first quarter that I maxed out the $500...

    This is the first promotion that I know of that I was skipped. Normally if I dont get an email right away, it still shows up on my "My eBay", but nothing this time around.

    Interesting - this is the first time I'm aware of as well, which I didn't get the notification. Something got tweaked this time around in their list of recipients - hopefully this isn't a sign that we'll be left out in the future!

    Steve,



    Are you enrolled in the eBay Bucks program? You have to enroll in the program, you don't just get it because you have an eBay account.

    Yes, I've been enrolled in the program for several years (ever since it first began), and every quarter, I have had at least $30 (max was around $150 a couple times) ever since the ebay bucks program began. I've reset my preferences multiple times, and it has never helped. I just continue to get the standard 2% every quarter, and as I said, I've literally never received any offers for a higher percentage.

    You may have unknowingly opted out. About a year ago I decided that I was tired of eBay emails (non Bucks ones) so I went to my setting and unchecked all of the promotional email settings. I didnt get any Bucks emails at all. Next quarter I decided to opt back in to all of the, and now I get the Bucks promotions again. I get bombarded with eBay emails, 1 or 2 a day, but it's worth it to get the Bucks promotions.

    Steve,



    As wilkiebaby11 said make sure you did not opt out of the emails. Go to "My eBay", hover over the "Account" tab then click on "Communication Preferences" and then scroll down to "Promotions and Surveys" and make sure "eBay surveys and research" and "General email promotions" are both check marked.



    If that doesn't work, after you use your eBay Bucks next quarter I would unenroll from the eBay Bucks Program, then try enrolling again. Maybe there is something wrong with the account and unenrolling and signing up again may get it started so that you receive the new promotions.



    MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR EBAY BUCKS THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU UNENROLL OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM.



    I hope this helps.

    Thank you Wilkiebaby11 and Donato.



    I had $44.75 in ebay bucks this past quarter, that I just finished using this past week, and have so far earned $10.38 since July 1st. I might try calling ebay to see if I can get any help on the phone (won't hold my breath though image ). If that doesn't work, then I'll wait until October and try what you mentioned.

    I just checked my settings and everything is checked, email promotions etc but still haven't received an offer in 6 months plus. I've tried calling eBay(several times) and it does no good.
    Hope you have better luck with them than I did. I used to get these offers all the time and they just stopped. Haven't got one since.

    In the two years that I have been signed up to receive the promotional emails I have received it one time. I have called eBay a couple times asking why some people get included every time and others never are included. I just called again. Every time they say it is random. One of the times I called the person I talked to did add $25 to my eBay bucks.

    James



    BTW: The one time I was included I bought something that got me almost $100 bucks, which is the max per purchase. It was taken back by eBay a couple weeks later because I returned the item I bought.

  • travis ttravis t Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭
    I'm in the same situation as some of you.....opted for all preferences in my account numerous times, made sure all boxes had a check mark.



    I've bemoaned the times I didn't use the multipliers in years past. But, some of the times it did work were nice.



    I don't think it's a coincidence that several of us are having similar experiences with eBay Bucks. I still get my 2% and also lurk around here to see if anyone has posted with knowledge of that day's discount coupon. I've joined a couple websites with notification searches about the eBay coupon when it's active and so far this year I've received a grand total of 1 e-mail, which came shortly after someone posted about it here.



    And yet, I still manage to keep buying stuff. I guess they knew that.



    I'm like a dog that wants extra bacon, more bacon, more bacon. But, less bacon doesn't mean I'm going to quit wanting to consume bacon.

    I was going to throw out there that if anyone has put off a purchase and did not get this offer, pm me. I don't mind passing along the savings if you want to paypal me for a BIN/BO (minus what I'll keep in ebay bucks) and I can complete the transaction for you. I can have it shipped directly to your address.
