Didn't get it this time, and I usually only get skipped over a couple of times every year.

Anyway, for prediction purposes, here's my table for all of last year:

Feb 8–10M–W5% eBay Bucks$0 
Mar 3–5W–F5% eBay Bucks$06% observed in my case
Mar 29–31M–W5% eBay Bucks$0 
Apr 19–21M–W5% eBay Bucks$0first promo after major rule change (no more 1% baseline outside promo periods)

Number of deals by weekday in 2021:

And if you want to go back further:

2020: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=144901822&postcount=34

2019: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=134422268&postcount=46 (I doubt we'll see as many deals as back then any more)

If eBay's pattern continues, then we can assume the following:

- Most promos will likely be 5–8% eBay Bucks
- Most will happen between Mondays and Wednesdays and never over a weekend
- You can expect 1–2 promos every month and never back-to-back weeks
- Enrollment in the eBay Bucks program has been closed for over a year, so if your account isn't already in from the past, then you can't get any of these deals.

And pay sales tax to boot. How can they charge tax on buying sovereign silver coins?

I now buy and sell stuff directly from craigslist and other websites like Reddit, Head-Fi, Audiogon to bypass ridiculous sales tax. Also go direct to Chinese merchants who have stores in eBay and amazon to bypass sales tax too.

Same here. I don't think I've qualified for one of these deals in at least a year.

Again, you only need to check for the accounts that received eBay Bucks in the past 2 years. I have over dozen accounts and only two accounts are now receiving the eBay Bucks offer. I had 3 other accounts which received eBay Bucks offer 3 years ago but none since. I believe those got dropped from eBay permanently. Few years ago eBay Bucks would only be issued if you accrued at least $5. So I tried to consolidate all my purchases into as few accounts as possible. I was lucky that people borrowed my eBay accounts because I was in a group of people who buy stuff off each other to make money from eBay. Sometimes they didn't get eBay Bucks offer so I lend them my accounts.

I do believe that if you don't make purchases when eBay Bucks Offer was available for your account, you will be dropped eventually. That's what happened to my 3 accounts which received offered but made zero purchase,

There are lots of things wrong with eBay, not just the tax on coins. I go to some auction houses to bid collectibles and they don't charge sales tax either. I don't think Sotheby charges sales tax (based on news from some of the well known sales). What is eBay really? If it's Amazon then I suppose it should be required by law to collect sales tax. But if it's an auction house, then it shouldn't. When you purchase stuff from Amazon UK, they waive the VAT. Then why do I get to pay tax when I buy from Chinese sellers on eBay?

On a different subject, buying on Reddit, Audiogon and Head-Fi can be risky. It's not the case with eBay. On eBay it's the sellers that are getting scammed by buyers. If you're an honest buyer, eBay is very safe to buy stuff.

Unfortunately you're never going to receive the eBay Bucks offer.

Learn from the Jedi Master, C.D. above Smilie

I have a $180 auto part that I need, and I absolutely wasn't going to order it last night, because these deals -never- drop on Sunday.

Lo and behold, my patience paid off!
