Say Goodbye to eBay Bucks

[imapaqrat]

It was almost 4 years ago, to the month, that eBay decided to drop eBay Bucks from 2% to 1%.  Some idiot at a desk decides 2% is too much to give to loyal buyers.

Now some idiot at a desk decides 1% is also too much to give to loyal buyers.  I wonder if it was the same person! 

I used to get around 1 special 5% eBay bucks every month.  That ended last July; in the last 7 months I've only received 2 special bucks offers.  So 1st they throttle down the 5% special eBay bucks, then they gut the program all together.

To make it even stupider on eBay's part . . . in the same email where they gut eBay Bucks program; now they give you a year to use the eBay Bucks you will no longer get.

Thanks for literally NOTHING eBay.

I am embarrassed for eBay.

Come on, bring back the eBay bucks earnings on every purchase, at least make it 0.5%.

They keep shooting themselves in the foot. No incentive to shop on Ebay anymore, so I rarely do,

AMAZON for the win!!!!

Half way through this quarter and my eBay bucks is still under $10.  Barely worth the effort.

Just ignore the bucks then, Way too much stress over 1% - serioously

You spend 1K to get $10 ? there must be bigger problems to stress over surely.

Did you even read the thread????    There is no more 1% - serioously!

Strange, I never had to make any effort to earn Bucks. I just bought stuff I would have bought anyway, and Bucks showed up. I expect the same thing to happen with the occasional Bucks offers, i.e. no effort required.

And worse than that - over HALF of my purchases this quarter yielded ZERO eBay bucks??  Are they TRYING to get us to go to macbook market, Mercari etc???

I have just been finding myself buying more and more over at the River as the ebay bucks is all that made it more enticing. Not good for buyers or sellers.

Yes, losing that 1% sure is a dealbreaker.
