That's what I've been saying about the "credit hours" for my pension for the longest time. Yet, they keep eating my annual remainder hours.. The little thefts are how they keep things afloat...

The ebay bucks thing is a little different, yet still just about making $$$..

Just one more reason for people to cheat eBay out of PayPal fees by using the gift option for purchases. A dish best served cold.

PayPal gets their fees from the sender on "gift" option payments. If I buy a $100 item from you and send PP as a purchase, I send $100 and you get $97 (or whatever). If I make the payment as a "gift," you get the full $100 but I pay $103. Either way, eBay/PP gets theirs.

Neither the sender nor the recipient pays any fees if the sender uses a bank account.

Bill,

That's only true is you're sending PayPal Gift using a credit card. If you're sending it from a PayPal balance or from a linked bank account, there is no fee.

Well, seeing as the implementation of Ebay Bucks, was most likely coupled with a fee increase for sellers in order to pay for it, I should expect Ebay to lower my seller fees, just a little bit................right?

It doesn't go into affect until 1/1/14

As a result of our latest program review, the eBay Bucks Certificates to be issued for the quarter ending December 31, 2013, will be the last sent for Rewards that total less than $5.00.

Effective January 1, 2014, program members must earn a minimum of $5.00 in eBay Bucks during a quarterly Earn Period in order to receive a Certificate at the end of the period. Quarterly balances below the $5.00 threshold will be forfeited.
