I was looking at some of the listings I won. And some say I earned some ebay bucks. I remember clicking on a ebay bucks several months ago. Can anyone tell me how to access these ebay bucks. Or show me a link that might have already covered this issue.

when I used to get them (they stopped for Canadian buyers) it would show up in "my ebay" I think near the top of the screen, but that was a couple of years ago.

First of all you need to sign up (which you did) for them for each ebay account you have. Just find the ebay bucks click through while you are logged in, and you'll see the sign up thingy, and all you do is click on it and you are signed up. Normal ebay bucks earnings is 2% of most purchases, there are some exceptions. They accrue quarterly, and are awarded 4 times per year. The next ebay bucks award will be July 3. Then you can spend them any way you want on ebay. Do I use them. You bet. Sometimes they send you special deals for extra ebay bucks. It can add up. Sounds like you already signed up so you are good to go. One catch is that you have to earn $5 for it to count, or you lose them. It stinks that ebay Canada doesn't have ebay bucks.

I have like $39 in ebay bucks that I should get in a couple weeks. Of course a 5x VIP promotion helped. Does anyone know if you can buy ebay gift cards with these bucks?

Sure do use them! I think ebay sends you a certificate every quarter by e-mail and then you have a certain amount of time to redeem them.

@buss yes you can get wbay gift cards with them you just don't get ebay bucks from buying ebay gift cards. And I once had $105 in ebay bucks after buying gas gift cards before a road trip and got a bunch of silver kennedys/couple of Dansco albums. They are awesome! But yes they should appear under your account tab and are redeemable every quarter

I use them. Once you earn them and are signed up, they will automatically be deducted (after they are awarded) when you purchase an item. I get offers sometimes for 4x bucks and those really add up.

You earn them for most anything, unfortunately not for bullion purchases.

Quote: At that point wil it be automatically take off my purchase, or will have To do some action? I could be wrong, but I don't think they automatically apply to a purchase. If you scroll down the payment page a little, you have the choice to use them.

I was just looking through my Email .. I missed a message, saying I have $28.xx ebay bucks. It does mention that it will be used on my next purchase ... or it provides a code ... I guess in case it doesn't work ... Guess I will have to find a Morgan I need and see how it works ....
