eBay Bucks / flash deals and sales megathread

Just got this email. Looks like PayPal won’t be necessary to sell.

FAQ’s:
Why is the way I’m getting paid on eBay changing?
We are updating the payment experience on eBay to enhance the buying and selling experience on the marketplace. We believe this is an opportunity to deliver a more seamless experience for both buyers and sellers, while offering a greater choice in payment and payout options.

Is there anything I need to do right now?
Please update your account details, including adding your bank account information, by 30 April 2021. Once you update your details, you will automatically offer all payment methods to your buyers, and we will initiate payouts within two business days of payment confirmation, regardless of how your buyer chooses to pay. Learn more here.

How are my fees changing?
Your eBay selling fees and expenses will be automatically deducted from your earnings before you get paid. The remainder of your earnings will go directly to your bank account, not your PayPal account. You’ll no longer have to pay PayPal payment processing fees and no more separate monthly fee payments. Examples of eBay selling fees include: insertion fees, listing upgrades and shop subscription fees.

*As it relates to funds settlement.

**Savings based on annual total sales volumes, and comparisons of (a) prior eBay final value fees plus typical 3rd party payment provider fees, with (b) updated eBay final value fees (without any 3rd party processing fees).

@0ean, thats managed payments and has been around for probably almost a year at this point. There are many threads about it on here that you can look at if you have questions about it.

rip 1% ebucks everyday

[wisewailmer]

this is the last chance we have to buy graded cards before they all add the “2 years of my life plus suffering” fee

Got a notification for 5% eBay bucks through March 5th this morning.

[sherbixtus]

5% literally 10 hrs after I bought a super expensive card. Damn

Don’t worry if it’s the same offer I got, the only thing worth buying is EBAY gift cards & Bullion. It doesn’t apply to majority of categories.

First targeted ad in well over a year I think.

reward.ebay.com/rwdwebui/activateOffer?Param2=984f4e8a-a4fe-48c7-a2ef-b6600c336b71&Param3=Bucks

"You’ve activated the eBay Bucks bonus offer.

Earn 5% in eBay Bucks on all qualifying items. No minimum spend.

Expires:

Mar 5, 2021 11:59 PM PST"

5% on nearly anything for me. Loving the change already as getting the occasional 5% will allow me to save significantly more than I did with the constant 1%.

[crios711]

nooooo they couldn’t even approve me for the last promotion. I guess they know I will still buy things to complete my collection.

3000Y off international shipping coupon from Buyee 2/12-3/14 for those of you who buy from YJ.
Nice savings off of those pricey DHL shipments. I will probably consolidate all of my packages over the next month before shipping. Only applies if a package included in the shipment is from YJ.

I didn’t qualify for some reason

sorry to post in this page without an ebay bucks promo (Ik its pinned for a lot of you), but how often/how do you qualify for tcgplayer promos? Do you have to be a paid member?
I have a standard membership just created for when I buy stuff but its the free one

You don’t need to be a paid member to qualify for TCGPlayer kickbacks.

As far as how often they come along: what I can say is that they’ve come along a lot less frequently over the past year than they did before that. They used to come around at irregular intervals but basically every month or two. Now, they seem to be maybe twice a year.

Haha, I hear ya. I used to always build giant TCGPlayer carts in anticipation of kickbacks. But I haven’t been doing that recently because kickbacks come around so infrequently now.

FYI. Check your eBay Messages. Wish they would’ve sent this yesterday before the PWCC Auction ended…

I used to get every single eBay bucks offer without fail for years, but I haven’t gotten any of them for the past 3 months or so–ever since my sales started going way up. I wonder if there’s a connection.

Didn’t they discontinue ebay bucks entirely?

The 1% on all transactions. They said they will still give targeted bonus bucks

[mike444]

I’ve never been offered them which really sucks. Anything I need to do to get them? Or I just got unlucky

Same for me. I have all marketing emails, push notifications and whatever else enabled and I’ve had my account since 2001. I haven’t received a targeted bucks offer in years
