YMMV Bonus eBay Bucks (up to 8%)

Bonus eBay Bucks promotions are YMMV, because from what I can tell, they send them to different groups of eBay shoppers (members of their rewards program) at different times. So running right now, and good until 11:59pm pacific tonight (12/2/15), if you are invited by email or eBay message, and if you manually opt-in by clicking on the button over there, you can earn the following rewards:

+ 4% for individual items priced $50+
+ 6% for individual items priced $100+
+ 8% for individual items priced $150+
+ maximum reward is $100 per transaction, and $500 total during this promotional period
+ 1X eBay Bucks = 2% of the purchase price, so 4X = 8%

A couple of places to get started looking for deals are the eBay Daily Deals and the eBay Trending Deals.

Because of the way the program is structured (you only receive eBay Bucks if your earn $5 or more during a reward period), these eBay Bucks promotions are great in helping you reach the threshold. Combine these with the recurring 5% eBay Gift Card promotions and the savings add up little by little.
