Before the change in the ebay bucks system, I would regularly get the bonus percentages. Ever since the change, I haven't received one. And my buying habits have not changed.

Try opening a new buying only account. Sign up for ebucks on that account and see if you start getting the offers.
I opened a new account and it worked. I have also read others having positive results doing this. At the very least, it's worth a try as it is a pretty quick process to open a new account.
This is very frustrating as I used to get every one of the eBay Bucks promo's. Now that the new format has kicked in, I've received a grand total of one offer. I'm getting a bit tired of paying the 10% seller's fees and not getting any love on the buying end.
I get them all the time and use them all the time. I think you need to use them in order to get more. Also You need to talk nice about ebay as I do Karma.
I keep a list on non coin items that can be bought at any store. When I get the 10% ebay coupon, I use it as I did today for a metal detector pro pointer.
For the people that say they don't get the offers, have you tried the suggestion of creating a new account? I'd like to verify if it works. All of you should make a new account, don't sell on it (maybe purchase a small item or two), and report back when the next bucks offer comes to see if you got it.

Check your settings. When they changed over, my account was kicked out of the special promotions offers. I didn't receive any eBay Bucks offers during that time. Set my self back up for the promotional emails and now I get them every time.

I stopped getting them for a while too. The reason I think it stopped for me was because I had a negative balance because the seller lost the coin and returned my money. I also did not use the ebay bucks the next time. Didn't get them for 3 months.

My balance is currently negative as well. I had a coin that I did buy on the one and only offer I've received so far this year. I returned the coin due to a PVC spot near the date. The return and refund happened just after the Certificate was issued. So they put my balance as negative for this coming cycle and did not deduct it from the issued certificate, which is odd.
I'm not going to hold my breath for getting another offer anytime soon.
Yes, if you have a negative balance you will NOT get Ebay bucks. I had a negative balance and never got them, but then when it turned positive I have gotten every one since. I called and they told me this was the case as well.
I do buy things on ebay... seldom coins, but other things fairly often. Never get any offers and have been on ebay since about 1995..... used to buy marbles all the time....I get their promotional emails all the time...need to tell them to sweeten the pot or stop cluttering up my mailbox. Cheers, RickO
about this negative account balance stuff ... I DID in fact have a negative balance at one time, because I had returned a coin, which I promptly paid off, and have been sitting at $0.00 for months now. And still no ebay buck promo. So I think you are on point about this ... but it should have automatically resolved itself by now I would think.

I was holding out for a 10% coupon but used the 8% last week on a Gold Nugget Metal Detector.
Should have waited but my OCD was kicking in.
Got it here but not much interesting
Latin American Collection
Wow.. Another sure to outbid for any coins on the bay at attractive net price ,,Looking for Gold below melt ,already have some nice Morgans on list..

Ends on Friday night,,, yet ..I am in

I have never received any of these offers,
Even if you don't get a an email, it will sometimes show up on the eBay homepage as an option to click and activate.
I got it but cant find anything.

Go to the BST forum and you'll see some links to Ebay stuff there. Hint, hint....
Also, go to your dealers website and find something you like, ask them to do and ebay BIN for you.
Never get them. Have everything check and even the one to call me if they want to just chat. Never get them and never have.

I got it.. now I just have to decide what to use it on.
Collector, occasional seller
I have used just about every offer that was 8 % or more... for years .. Great deal ..running out of space to store the coins.LOL

Just used mine.

@jtlee321 That must be what it is then. I didn't get them for 3 months so I'd be curious to see if you start getting them again in 3 months.
I maxed out 3 accounts last quarter on these 10% deals. I get them all the time, but also buy all the time.
The ebay gems are still out there ...need to be patient and use the BonusBucks

I always get the offer a day or two after a purchase... 10% back would have been nice on my new MS66+ walker
And i always have to go through my listings and raise anything over 44.99 goes up to $50 LOL
Successful trades.... MichaelDixon,
