My guess is to prop up activity numbers to appease the advertisers.
Who knows.
Funny since they usually send out a gazillion emails none was received about this reward having been issued.

How is the Char fishing, Barndog?
And placing LOTS of losing bids is what I am very, very good at.

They offered me $15 to refer a friend so far I didn't get that nor did he. I got the 5 bucks for bidding on 2 accounts but not the 3rd

In checking my didn't win page, I see only 4 items listed instead of the 5 I thought I'd bid on, so OH WELL!

Lost the one I had on so far. Rainbow Trout have been MUCH more cooperative.
<< <i>Yup, sure did. Not sure why eBay had such an odd promotion. They should have put up some stipulations like, at least one has to be a winning bid or the closing prices have to be within 5% of your bid. Otherwise you can bid $10 on some gold coin with no hope of winning or even pushing the bid increment up where eBay would at least collect a percentage of that incremental bid. >>
I have never used ebay bucks. It is very simple why they would do this. They are doing this to get higher prices for items and thus a higher final value fee. I would simply place a low-ball bid early on items that I know that I have no chance to win. Seems to me that they are paying us to be shills. If everyone took advantage of this offer, just think how many more bids there will be.

I found five large lots of 90% silver that were recently listed at .99 starting and bid $2.00 each on then. Somehow I got outbid all five times.
