-----Changes to eBay Bucks-----

George_Calfas · Dec 28, 2013

We’re writing to let you know about upcoming changes to the eBay Bucks Rewards Program. In order to continue offering meaningful benefits, we regularly look at the program’s performance to learn where changes are necessary. As a result of our latest program review, the eBay Bucks Certificates to be issued for the quarter ending December 31, 2013, will be the last sent for Rewards that total less than $5.00.

Effective January 1, 2014, program members must earn a minimum of $5.00 in eBay Bucks during a quarterly Earn Period in order to receive a Certificate at the end of the period. Quarterly balances below the $5.00 threshold will be forfeited.

Also effective January 1, 2014, purchases from eBay Motors Parts & Accessories will not be eligible for Rewards.

Just got the same email. I rarely exceed $5.00 in eBay bucks, so looks like I'll be often forfeiting mine. Gotta pinch those pennies at every opportunity.

So in a 3 month period you have to buy at least $250 to earn the $5 bonus bucks

I can see some people XXXXXing to eBay about this

But it's their site & they're giving money back to the buyer - they shouldn't be a problem

TBTwinsFan · Dec 28, 2013

That's too bad. I probably spend $250 a year.

Oh well.

pac_rat_76 · Dec 28, 2013

Yep, no more Ebay bucks for me!

ASTROBURN · Dec 28, 2013

Total horseXXXX. I never spend enough to make their minimum. Thanks eBay, you ********...

Ebay is a crappy company, but right now i need them. But they really are a horrible and cocky bunch. I have spoken with many of their vp's. They believe we need them more than they need us. It's all about ebay. Hopefully they become myspace someday.

FCB Bucks do not expire

Really ?? Go find some other store or business that gives money back to you

Better yet go to Target, Walmart, Kmart and the like and ask for money back from your purchase of some blasters and see what you get..

Jeez the freakin XXXXXing from the entitlement group here is unbelievable

Target does kinda give you money back, you get 5% off all purchases made with the Target REDCard.

Shh. Logic has no place in an FCB argument.

Mahoody · Dec 28, 2013

Bottom line

Right Now there is nothing out there that beats eBay as a site for locating a single card, set or box product for reasonable prices.

They are like any other business in America ... they're here to make money
and by offering a rebate to get people to spend more money in their establishment has been a tradition since the dawn of time. For example coupons that offer you $ 10 off any $75 purchase in their store (JC Penney). I dont hear people screaming bullXXXX on that.

Please - if you think eBay is such a crappy company - go find somewhere else to shop

mrmopar · Dec 28, 2013

If you are not earning the minimum, then you probably don't need ebay, so it should not be an issue. I have been trying to curb my spending for a long time and i admit it, I am weak. i have some disposable income and nothing much else i want to spend it on, but damn i am sometimes embarrassed by the bucks redemptions i get each quarter. i don't even want to figure out what I actually spent, because that would be worse!

I see no reason for anyone to complain about this, or the site. Mahoody is correct, ebay is still the best site to buy and to sell that I am aware of and unless some major change in how cards are dealt comes along, it's hard to see this changing anytime soon. New, smaller sites may offer more incentives for sellers (and buyers), but when the sellers discover that not enough buyers are seeing their items and the prices reflect this, they will move back to ebay. TRAFFIC is king and ebay has the traffic.

You r correct, but they grew the company with respect. I was part of it and have family that work for ebay/paypal. They now, no longer respect anything.

ThoseBackPages · Dec 28, 2013

use Bill Me Later and get an additional 1% eBucks for your eBay purchases.

MansGame · Dec 28, 2013

It is what it is. It's their program and I've benefited from it thus far. I'm guessing I'll get over the minimum from time to time.

Shocked that people are outraged lol. Let's get serious people, if you got a cert for less than that, then your going to be out a few free dollars... O we'll.... Take it back to when there was no program.

Kohls gives me $10 in kohl's cash to spend at a future date when I spend $50
Targets gives me 5% when using their redcard
Cub foods gives me discounts at Holiday gas stations for shopping at both
Roundy foods does the same
Josephs Bar and Grill gives me $20 credit for every $150 spent
I can go on and on if you would like...
