10% EBay Bucks again...

[darrend505]

There killing me. I know they can't be this hard up for money. Did they do this many promotions last year at tax time?

is it only in certain categories or something? i can see it on some items but not others.

I did not get this one nor the previous couple.

I used my 10% coupon and 4x ebucks last week. Not sure I can pony up again. It is hard to pass up "free" money though.

I do not think it will show up (calculating the total Bucks earned on the item) until 8am PT, the start of the promotion.

It is hard to pass up free money, wish I had the extra to spend!

That's why I always keep some "crazy" one-of-one auctions going in my watch queue. You never know if you'll be tempted.

Its not a hard up for cash situation. Its not even a loss leader. Its a very very good promotion for ebay.

Ebay takes the 10% they charge the seller for final value fees and gives it to the buyer (up to $100). Ebay still gets their 3% via paypal and any listing fees (if any), so Ebay is just doing fine for these under 24 hour promos. Plus they are banking on people buying stuff that they normally might pass by, helping sellers clear inventory, hopefully adding new inventory that eBay will then make their 10% off of down the road. If you also notice, most of these promos go off on slow days, and it gets people looking at their site on days they normally might not be looking. At least this is they way I see it. This is all a great ploy, and marketing by eBay.

EDIT: 5% for $100-200, 10% over $200, so from the $100-200 range, eBay is still making 5% on FVF

Been meaning to buy a Barry Sanders auto for a while.

picked up a nice limited patch/auto /50 for $150.

I only got five percent since it was only over $100. But it was a good day to get a free $7.50
