eBay/Paypal coupons?

[donmuth]

Has anyone received an eBay or Paypal coupon offer recently (in the last year)? It seems like a couple of years ago a new one would come out every other month or something. I haven't seen one in forever it seems. Anyone know why?

Thanks!

Don,
They seem to have gone away from that program and went with the EBAY BUCKS program. For every purchase you make they give you money at the end of 3 or so months to spend from purchases you made it that time period. Seems to work well I had about 125 dollars to use .

I guess I am behind the times then. Need to look into the ebay Bucks thing. Thanks!

Here is the info on the program.
Basically, you get 2% credit towards a future eBay purchase.

Well, I read up on it.

The plan gives back 2% of purchases (only including final auction bids or BIN prices... not S/H, etc.) paid with paypal as ebay bucks every quarter. Then you only get 30 days to use the bucks before they expire.

So, to get $10 in ebay bucks for example, I'd need to spend $500 first.

To get $125 in bucks in a quarter, I'd have to spend over $6000??!!

I haven't spent anywhere near that in all the years I've had my ebay account. Sounds like the POS credit card rewards plans - Charge everything you buy (while taking the risk of getting over your head and running up high balances) so you can get that $100 gadget you don't really need anyways from our rewards store!

I liked the old eBay coupon method. It worked out better for me as I don't spend a ton on ebay.

Ebay Bucks? No thanks...

P.S. - When will Grand Slam Bids be up and running?
