Ebay Bucks!?

This says you earn 2% cashback whenever you use paypal to check out...the only downfall to is its ONLY Ebay money, but...combined w/ Bing...it wouldn't be too bad (if thats possible).

Just thought I'd give the heads up...hopefully I'm not double-posting.

Thanks!

Other downside is that ebay bucks I believe have a sort life before expiring if not used.

Has this changed recently? The last I knew it was a beta, by invitation only program.

Right now they are running a promotion for 2x the normal. I got $16 for a $400 purchase yesterday. Combine that with the 10%, instant, bing bling and I paid $344 for a $1000 graphics card...

So you paid $344 for it and you're selling it in FS/FT for $495?

Shady. But whatever you can get away with.

I wish, I paid over $700 for that one. I'm pulling it off the FS forum when the new one comes and am going to try out Crossfire Pro

HUH? I understand your point that something is worth what you pay for it. However If the same NIB card sells $900 at the etailers (it was a $1000 last time I looked) then from my perspective I paid $344 for an item valued at $900

I've been in it for a few months and right now they're doing triple for me, but not in all categories, just tech, fashion, and books.

I thought the title said "ebay sucks". 🙂

value is relative, i'd never pay $1000 nor retail so i guess we can agree to disagree on this one.

Yeah I earned ~40 in eBay bucks a couple of months ago when I bought my Mac Pro. Used it on some made-in-China photo gear accessories. All stuff I had been wanting for a while but didn't feel like spending real money on.

I love spending "not real money" on things 🙂

The only part that truly sucks is the waiting period for the bucks to "mature". I cant spend em on shit till October!

Unfortunately, you weren't one of the members randomly selected to join eBay Bucks.
Although we plan to make eBay Bucks available to everyone in the future, right now we are in a beta test period. This means we've had to limit how many people we can invite to join us.
