In order to continue offering meaningful benefits, we regularly look at the program's performance to learn where changes are necessary. As a result of our latest program review, the ebay Bucks Certificates to be issued for the quarter ending December 31, 2013, will be the last sent for Rewards that total less than $5.00. Effective January 1, 2014, program members must earn a minimum of $5.00 in ebay Bucks during a quarterly Earn Period in order to receive a Certificate at the end of the period. Quarterly balances below the $5.00 threshold will be forfeited. Also effective January 1, 2014, purchases from ebay Motors Parts & Accessories will not be eligible for Rewards. To learn more about these changes, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page, and review the updated ebay Bucks Terms & Conditions. As always, please know that we appreciate your ebay Bucks membership, and look forward to rewarding your participation with significant benefits. Sincerely, ebay Bucks Team It's sort of a slap in the face to someone like me who doesn't spend a whole lot of money on ebay in the first place, but I'm not going to cry over losing an extra ~$16 per year. Seems like the removal of ebay Bucks on ebay Motors would upset a few people, but I don't use that anyway. It's pretty funny though when they use cute PR phrases like "In order to continue offering meaningful benefits". As if anyone stood to benefit from this change except themselves. What do you guys think? Edited by Kefiroth 12/29/2013 12:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I would imagine they ran the numbers on the "less than 5$ amounts" sitting in the ebay bucks accounts and decided that that huge amount of money would look better in their account than in customers accounts.

Plus its to encourage buying. If you have 4 ebay bucks and know itll expire you might get something there you needed to get over 5 or consider it. There is some sense to keeping the money for infrequent buyers. Taking it away on the motors part is probably going to upset some people though. I'm sure some big money is spent on things there Report this Post to the Staff
