Ebay giving $5 ebay bucks just for bidding

[Broke as a Joke]

Saw this today, bid on 5 different items get $5 ebay bucks added to your cache. Easy money if you ask me...that's just 5 low tracking bids.

 

Thought I would give people the heads up, was in my message box on ebay today.

[2staples]

I got the message too and bid on 5 different items today.

 

It said that it can take up to 4 weeks to be credited, and unfortunately there is no way to track if Ebay counted them, but I'm sure it's on the level. Also, 5 dollars, so no biggie either way.

I got it also, but the message did say it wasnt for everyone .

Good point. If you received the message, you're in.

 

"Who's eligible?

Only invited, registered eBay Bucks participants who receive the promotional offer from eBay in My Messages are eligible. Sorry, no forwarding––the offer is not transferable.

 

Earn $5 in eBay Bucks when you make 5 bids; each bid must be on a different item."

[RockMyAmadeus]

Sad. I wasn't eligible.

[Boba]

eBay is so skilled at alienating large swaths of their own customer base.

[No Quarter]

Yup, not eligible either.

 

Wonder what I have to do to get the good offers, tired of seeing offers for Pay It Now or whatever.

[Jeffro.]

I'm never eligible for these things. ebay

[Sereol]

Yea i'm never eligible either i wonder if it's because i mainly sell on ebay instead of buying?

[Buzzetta]

I just went to newly listed, filtered to the auctions and bid on comics that had very low starting bids that I know will end higher than I bid whether I wanted the book or not.

 

Boom. $5 in one minute of my time.

[snowman28]

DONE and DONE. Instantly outbid on all 5

Thanks for the heads-up.

 

I saw the email and trashed it w/o looking.

[oldbsturgeon]

I'm typically eligible for all the bucks promotions but not this one, bummer

[David-Lance Roten]

I got a $15 off coupon in the inbox today

[fmaz]

This was in my inbox but I probably wouldn't have noticed it if not for this thread. Thanks all!

[Buzzetta]

Bid on a number of things but did not see the $5 added to my eBay rewards yet...

I have bought less than a half-dozen things on eBay in the past year, and I sell a couple dozen a month. I got this email yesterday...
