Dear oneromiworldwide

Checking the eBay Bucks information from another account than your own seller account is the right first step.

Make sure you look on the item detail page, not on a search results page. Also please double check if the account you are using is enrolled in the Bucks program.

I just checked myself and see the eBay Bucks information on your listings, so everything is fine for the buyers!

Gentlepeople,

I am a very new user of eBay, and a Beta tester of the eBay Bucks program. A part of (Beta) testing of any kind is working out the bugs in the program so that when it is opened to a wider audience it will not destroy the very object that it is intended to enhance. I signed on to eBay as I needed to make MANY small purchases in a short period of time to get an activity going. This worked into the need for eBay to have many transactions to watch for glitches. There were some changes made during the Beta period as a result of the testing to make sure that eBay users would be able to securely use the program and continue their enjoyment of the service.

By opening it to the U.S. it is in the next step of the program. I am sure eBay has made sure that the program meets all the requirements of the U.S. Government before implementing even the Beta test.

For sellers interested in seeing if their merchandise has eBay Bucks.
I found out that as I was with a friend at his home using his network with my computer and logged on as me that I could not see eBay bucks on his items even though I know they are there from my home. I believe that as I was on his I.P. address at the time, it may have restricted the view to the eBay Bucks. To view your items for eBay Bucks may require logging in on your buying account from another location (I.P. Address).

Great program. Well thought out. The eBay Bucks team has been great to work with.

I love this program I was able to sign up when it first came out. This makes shopping on Ebay worthwhile. Since I buy a lot of stuff for friends and family online I am able to get money for stuff I want too. Hopefully they keep this program for ever.

I just signed up for this, which is great, but I made a lot of purchases this July of 2010. Just a couple of weeks before I found out about this ebay bucks program. Is it possible to grandfather that by two or three weeks? Just wondering. I am not looking to get something for nothing, it just makes sense to ask in case it is stated somewhere and I haven't found it yet. Thanks

Dear my-favorite-seller,
invitations to participate in the BETA test were extended purely based on random sampling.

You guys need to quit making up dumb stuff and just let people do business. You seem to think people are working for you. Think again, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR THEM. We don't need your stupid ebay bucks, paypal, or your out of country support system for paypal. EMPLOY AMERICAN'S................POST YOUR SUPPORT NUMBER, IF YOU GUYS ARE FEELING LIKE DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE.

I love the ebay bucks program, in one week I already have $82! I'm going to max out my ebay bucks way before the 50 days expires It's great and unexpected to be getting free money like that.
While I feel this is fabulous, I only have one concern: why would ebay do this huge outlay for their buyers? Is this program going to be around for long? This is going to cost ebay so much money out of pocket - I mean $250 (or whatever is the limit) every 3 months for a each high volume buyer? Granted, I buy a lot on ebay but surely others do too.
I would be interested to know the statistics of buyers on ebay - how many are actually doing this much buying? Is this program intended to increase the number of sales or promote a more positive image of ebay? Just curious. It seems extremely generous.

It shouldn't -- the program benefits sellers as well as buyers.
Our job as a marketplace is to create demand for sellers on the platform. By rewarding buyers with eBay Bucks, we give them another compelling reason to buy from these sellers. And once it is time to redeem, sellers will also be on the receiving side of all those eBay Bucks we are giving out.

Hey,

I've enrolled for the ebay Bucks, and have already earned some too. I think this is a great program! Anyway, when I went onto ebay today, none of the items I visit show that I can earn ebay bucks. Its a valid product too, just seems like its been turned 'off' today. Is the program not working today or something like that??

Hello again,

Honestly, I think you did not read my other comments here.

You are not allowing me to participate in the program:
"Oops! You can't enroll in eBay Bucks."

The question is: Why deny participation to people who are part of the family of eBay/Paypal?

I hope this comment will not be ignored, as the previous.

Thank you.

I understand your point, but I think eBay will lose money. Why?

Many eBay sellers have their website, and are offering discount of 2% to 60%.
For example:
- www.sureelectronics.net
- www.taydaelectronics.com

Where do you think people will buy?

If you offer 2%, the least you can do is offer the discount to everyone.

I think my idea makes sense.

Thanks for responding.

Thanks Doc,

I have been on the phone for over an hour...talked to Ebay ...they sent me to Paypal....who sent me back to Ebay....
Finally I found out that I couldn't see it on my own listing. Signed out and went to my listing and still did not see it. Only members who are signed on and enrolled can see the Ebay Bucks Logo. DUH!
Wish Ebay explained that when signing up or when listing your items.
Thanks for letting us know.
