I never use the watchlist and I still got plenty of bonus offers.

I'd be curious to know if the account you got the bonus offers on is frequently (or ever) used for purchases other than when you get the bonus offers? My assumption has always been that eBay only sends the bonus offers to users with little to no recent purchases in order to spark some additional buying activity from them. Hence, the only bonus offers I ever get are on the account that I only use for selling Survivor memorabilia (and which never has any purchases on it). When I try to apply the offer to my usual buying account, (which never gets any offers of its own), it is disallowed. I just assumed that was because I frequently buy with that account, so there is no need for enticement.

With the changes, I will more than likely only buy cards on eBay if I have an eBay Bucks bonus offer. 2% was reasonable. 1% is a slap in the face.

 Since they started sending out individualized "bonus" offers, my buying account has not received any bonus offers, no matter how much I have spent per month. I am not a "high roller" on an individual purchase basis by any means, but do frequently make purchases totaling $1k or more per month.

Might be worth mentioning; there is an email setting in every Ebay users account which dictates how they email you. Checking the box to allow them to send you special offers directly correlates with them sending you more bucks bonuses. I changed my setting this month and got 3 or 4 this month after averaging about 2 or 3 per year.
With that said, it does still seem that they selectively target users in "some way"; Im just not sure the formula they use.

Actually I buy things all the time on eBay. I bought 167 items this past quarter and 32 items I received bonus bucks.

I never get the promo emails; in fact I got an email offering me a promo rate as a seller, went to sign up, and was told I didn't qualify!
Yep, that's me with the bag of rocks on Halloween.
