E-mail received today from eBay:

Thank you for being a Bucks member, and a valuable part of our eBay community. We're reaching out to tell you about upcoming changes to the eBay Bucks program.

After careful consideration, we've decided to retire the 1% earnings reward on everyday purchases starting April 1st, 2021. The good news is, you will continue to receive bonus Bucks offers, so you can keep earning.

And, beginning April 1st, the Bucks you earn will have a 12-month redemption window, so there's even more time to score those big savings.

We hope that gives you more time to enjoy everyday savings and deals on the brands you love. Plus, all the exciting finds you've come to expect on eBay: from the rare to the retro to the right now.

Sincerely,
The eBay Bucks Team


Also noted in the revised FAQ: https://pages.ebay.com/rewards/faq.html

How do I earn eBay Bucks?
On or before March 31st, 2021 all eBay Bucks members will continue to earn 1% in addition to any Bucks Bonus Promotions that eBay may run on all qualifying purchases. When you receive a bonus offer, just activate the offer and start shopping on eBay and you'll automatically earn eBay Bucks on qualifying purchases. Earn eBay Bucks during a calendar quarter and you will receive an eBay Bucks Certificate for the total amount earned after that quarter ends.

Why is the base earn being retired?
After careful and thorough consideration, we decided to retire the 1% earning as we look to continuously optimize our offerings. The good news is that we will continue to offer limited time eBay Bucks Bonus promotions for earning eBay Bucks. In addition, all Bucks earned on or after April 1st , 2021 through the Bonus offers will now be valid for 12 months.

I'm giving you a preemptive thumbs up because of all the incoming thumbs down, even though you're just the messenger.

I would gladly exchange bucks for the old coupons, but feel like that ship has sailed.

How do you interpret that as worse? I read that as bucks will not expire in 30 days, like they do currently, but instead are good for a year.

If you're inferring that bucks statements are only issued every 12 months, then that would be bad, but that's not what I'm reading into it.

It's like they want to keep losing customers. The only thing I can hope for with this news is that Bonus promos are more prevalent and available to everyone instead of a select few. But I won't hold my breath. Ebay if you're reading this, I only even consider purchasing from your site when you offer an ebay bucks bonus or a coupon.

Ahh.... thank you for that! I think i misinterpreted it as redeemable once a year.

I think ebay might be going down the drain. There are few deals lately and a lot of scams/promotion. I never got those 5% eBay bucks deals and the 1% eBay bucks is not enough to get me to shop their. It use to be good when they allow for unlimited GC and a buck of coupons. After they were targeted, it wasn't worth it anymore to shop there.

Who uses Ebay anymore? Mercari is where everyone sells stuff nowadays. They had a monopoly for sooo long. The Ebay ship has sailed!
