YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks on $25+ items [or 6% under $25]

Jump in the Bay of Fees 🙂 This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Thursday 3am eastern (9/7/17), you earn 8% eBay Bucks on your purchases of individual items priced at $25+, or 6% on items individually priced under $25. So you earn bonus bucks even if you buy a $1 eligible item!

First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period. The email title announcing this promotion is not as clear as previous ones, but it has “eBay Bucks” in it, so look for that if you are skimming or filtering eBay emails.

DOUBLE DIP ALERT: until Tuesday September 5 (2017) at 11am ET, there is also an eBay coupon promotion. During this time period, once you activate the eBay Bonus Bucks, you can get both the coupon discount and the Bonus Bucks!

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts.
