Looks like it is still available but just the common 1% thing is gone…so just promotions that offer ebay bucks.
I used ebay bucks occasionally but found it a bit ridiculous, 3 months to earn them, and just one month to spend them or they just expire…no rollover features….Ridiculous.
I mean it’s not like buyers don’t go several months without using ebay, so I have lost out on earned bucks a few times.
With all the auction site competition these days it feel like eBay is trying hasten it’s own demise… removing features, locking down payments (and not lowering fees), killing most rewards….
I guess it is just another example of a company trying to please wallstreet by increasing profits shortterm at the expense of it’s own longterm viability… which never ends well.
Without a strong founder to ward off the beancounter approach (like Bezos was for Amazon up until recently) great long term (unprofitable+expensive) investments don’t have time to take root…again, perfect example would be Amazon Prime, which would have never survived the beancounter/wallstreet pleasers and it became an enormously profitable feature).
