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.

Whenever eBay had eBay bucks promo or those 15% off coupon, I laugh at people who spend so much time finding stuff to buy. Yes if you happened to looking for something in particular, those discounts were nice. But I have a large group of people and we just buy bogus items off each other and pocket the profit when the math was in our favor (in terms of cash back from Raku10, credit cards, eBay seller promo). I hate to see eBay bucks go, but it has been the greatest run of all time. I had free money coming in every year because of eBay for almost two decades. Couple years ago they started killing off those 15% off and the 20% off coupons, then they start watering down the eBay bucks promo (we had as high as 13% before but the entire 2020 topped at 5% when available). I knew the end was coming.

They still had a 8% eBay bucks promo this year. Last year they had a couple of 15% off $100 max discount coupon. But there hasn't been a $100 off discount for over a year.
