Big thanks to reader Joe S for sending this through
Continue to the eBay checkout page and pay for your item with PayPal by the expiration date. Your Bucks certificate will appear by the item subtotal.
PayPal locked my account god damn it
Yes, it’s not 5% bonus bucks but rather 3% on top of the normal 2%, or 2.5X. Meh. This is more important now that eBay appears to be enforcing the bullion ban on gift cards (you buy collectible gold coins instead).
Didnt receive an email or an app notification but when going to the ebay desktop site, it had the offer available. Used it on on the desktop site and got the ebacy bucks no problem
Don’t have the offer on mobile or web, logged in or not
Must be targeted
This is on the eBay homepage (non-mobile site). It showed up before I even logged in so I’m pretty sure it’s available to everyone. I don’t see it on the app itself.
Also checked out through website with no problem
u mean you got the 5% ebay bucks when buying on ebay’s website on a computer? Thanks.
do you guys have experience reselling pre-owned gift cards? i am a little apprehensive about it…
Don’t bother. You rather marry a woman who’s never been married or a woman who’s been married 5 times and you have no idea to who?
What!? LOL!
i get that… but have you personally had bad experience?
thanks
Personally No, why? because I’ve read all the horror stories and will not do it. How would you like to make a sale only to get a charge back 120+ days later claiming by the vendor the gift card you sold had no funds?
You have no idea how much a pain it is to communicate with these gift card sellers, never mind about a fraud issue. What if the person who sold you the GC uses it while the card is in transit to the reseller?
The list goes on and on.
Have I personally married a woman who’s been married 5 times before? No. Will I ever? NO!
But if you want to be one of those people, by all means go for it. Risk vs Reward is not worth it.
Epic!! Lol
Amen brother
I keep away from pre-owned, personally.
question: the end of your informative post says “remember to use a shopping portal” I’m ignorant as to how you use a shopping portal when using the mobile app to purchase and the mobile app is the only way to get the 5% bonus right?
Its working on Web, I just confirmed it, I got 5% ebay bucks on web order too. Although it is supposed to be meant for App. When I activated offer, I got logged out of Web by itself and directed to me app promo page, but by going back, it worked.
Overstock has been gone for a while now
