What are you going to spend your Ebay Bucks on?

[carlcarlson]

The earning period has ended and vouchers will be sent out next week. How much did you earn, and what are you planning on buying? I made $63.21 and am thinking of getting one of the Playstation rpgs I can never find like Tales of Destiny or Ogre Battle. Then again I might just splurge and grab Suikoden 2.

Ebay...bucks?

... What the hell are you talking about? eBay bucks? What the heck is that? o_O

Oh, figures, BUYERS ONLY. Go to hell, eBay.

Am I the only who got the invitation to this thing? I kind of thought it was invite-only, but I don't know how they decided who got to participate.

For those who don't know, for the last four months they've been giving 2% back (and 15% for a short time) in ebay bucks. Now, starting on the 22nd, we have one month to use these "bucks" on anything we want, but they basically all have to be used at once. It's a ploy to get people to buy more, but for someone who buys to resell (ME!) it's just kind of an added bonus because I'm never losing money anyway.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about and it was invite-only. I don't think anyone knows how ebay selected who to invite and who to ignore. They probably didn't invite me because I would have earned a few hundred by this point.

I think this is just a gimmick for Ebay to increase sales due to their horrible stocks and padding listings with BUY.COM

They've had a lot of promotions this summer. I also got a few discount coupons for 10% and 15% off, free shipping, and listing discounts as well. Funny though, because now that the earning period has ended I'm planning on cooling down for awhile. The buying/selling marathon kind of burned me out.

I had no idea this was going on either.
