Has anyone noticed that Ebay Bucks are sky high?

That is, I'm looking at a $50 item and ebay bucks are at about $12.

If you're gonna shop this would be a good time for it....... :).

I'm looking at a $25 item and ebay bucks are $10.54.

Is this a mistake?

i*m-still-here · ‎12-15-2012

I think it was a mistake because now everything is back to normal.

Maybe it was a very short promotion?

Nope...... it's still there. Newly listed items have sky high ebay bucks.

Start Shopping.

No, that's not what it is.

Some items have ebay bucks the way I described above.

I can't see any pattern to it and it has nothing to do with Bill me Later.

It is no longer there now. I saw 2 items that I bid a few hours with so high eBuck and I just checked them, it went down to nearly nothing as usual. I think it was an error on eBay's end. Darn!! I would love to earn that high eBucks!!

It's a mistake.

A few days ago I did a buy it now on a used DVD ($1.99 plus s/h). The Ebay bucks were listed as $10.04. After clicking through once, the confirmation page said that I'd get $10.04 Ebay bucks again. Then I did the buy it now, and only AFTER I did the purchase did it show I earned 4 cents (i.e., the regular 2% deal).

Anything showing an extra $10 is a mistake.

I'm sure somebody somewhere will cry "false and misleading" and talk about a class action lawsuit, lol.

PS: at the time I made the purchase, the "details" section was a blank link. There was no disclaimer. But now they've added the disclaimer that the $10 extra bucks is only if you use Bill Me Later. But you get $10 ebay bucks the first time you use that service anyways.
