The only real purpose of posts like mine is to let people know an eBay Promotion is active.

eBay does not even email notice. You must log into your account and activate it - if it is being offered at all.

Some promotions seem to be offered to almost everyone. Others to very few - like this one.

I've also noticed that although they tend to end at Midnight PT, they start at odd times, though so far always early in the morning. Perhaps they start at Midnight PT ? That would make sense.

My current 10% is NOT even in my messages - it is only in the Home Page eBay scrolling banner.

Does the 2% offer have a minimum purchase ? The 10% has a $50 minimum.

This is why I no longer use $49.99 on my BIN listings. I use $50 (as an example) to give Buyers who receive these eBay Promotions an incentive.

Finally, I am actually looking at a $200 Item right now, and the "eBay Buck" Preview states just $2 instead of $20. It probably would show $20 if I bid, but that's a risk I am not willing to take.

Only 1 of my 3 accounts has the 10% bucks promo and it is my least used account. Like always it's hit or miss. Thank OP.

I also had a $5 coupon attached to the same account so, both promos will get used today.

Well i got it.

Im starting to feel ebay wants to do away with 15% off and focus on ebay bucks promos only.

Im waiting for the 15% to buy a used S9/V40 but the coupons is nowhere to be found.

The 15% coupons are usually end-of-quarter to boost their financials. They'll probably have one very late this month.

These promotions can be frustrating.

Sometimes they apply to multiple items during the promotion, sometimes only ONE item is discounted. So buy the expensive item FIRST.

Sometimes they apply to a cart full to meet the minimum, sometimes not.

Sometimes the percentage comes off the total immediately, but more often it is eBay Bucks.

Some promotions are On Site and On App, others just On App (never seen one On Site only).

Some times the percent off is different between On Site and On App.

I find shopping On App awkward, so I shop On Site and then Checkout On App when necessary.

You'll do better if every family member has an account.

Some will get a promotion, and some will not.

Of course there may be arguments when the Bucks arrive Frown

Thanks for the heads up. I had a 10% offer in my account. Must spend $50 min. Not sure I need to buy anything though...
