eBay Bucks new terms

[freakhappy]

They have to find a way to make more money without actually improving their business model...thanks eBay!

When I first read about the change I just laughed and told my wife about it. I mean, what's next? It's like they are trying their hardest to push people away from their site...just disappointing because I've always liked eBay and IMO they have went backwards the past few years or so.

Could be worse. Ebay cancelled the ebay bucks program for Canadians last year.

That's what I figured was coming when I first saw the e-mail. I can't say that getting eBay bucks on a transaction or not has ever affected my buying, but it is nice to get $100-200 of free "stuff" once a quarter so long as they have the program in effect. I figure it will go the way of all other tangible perks eventually, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Shhhh. Don't let eBay find out about "buyer's premiums" or else they'll figure some way to work that into the equation too. Only in the Collectibles categories though, b/c collectors are the only buyers nutty enough to stand for such a thing.
