The Ebay incentive program (ebay Bucks) that has been in beta since early 2009 has been rolled out to all US users. The program provides 2% back on any qualified purchases made with Paypal on ebay.com. The current program excludes purchases in classifieds, business and industrial equipment, Ebay Motors, and real estate. Purchases for parts and accessories in Ebay Motors does currently qualify for the 2% back.
The way the program works is that each US user will get 2% back automatically on each qualifying purchase if they checkout with Paypal and the Bucks add up every 3 month. After the 3 month period, Ebay will issue a certificate that can be used on future Ebay.com purchases made with Paypal. Please note that each certificate is only good for 30 days. The key to this program is that Ebay has created a cap to how much you can receive. Each US user can only earn up to $200 on individual purchases and up to $500 for each 3 month period. This means that if you make large purchases on ebay, you can only earn $500 for each quarter or up to $2000 for a calendar year. While this may not be a huge incentive for some, money back is money back. Please be aware that this is not really a cash back program as you cannot use your certificate for anything else but Ebay.com purchases done with Paypal. If you are an avid Ebay user, then this will be good for you, but if you just use Ebay occasionally, then it might not be the greatest incentive program.
