Finally eBay is giving back to its buyers. I guess since every large offline business has some sort of rewards program. It was time for this online business to do something.

I just read an article from www.AuctionBytes.com about this. Here is the article:

eBay Bucks, which rolled out in beta testing last April, has officially launched for U.S. residents. The eBay Bucks reward program offers consumers 2% back on most items purchased through the site with PayPal.

Once consumers enroll in the program, each qualifying purchase will automatically earn eBay Bucks, which accumulate during each calendar quarter, or every three months. An eBay Bucks certificate is then issued and consumers have 30 days to redeem their eBay Bucks towards purchases with PayPal on eBay.com.

For the past year, eBay has been piloting eBay Bucks with select U.S. customers. On average, consumers enrolled in eBay Bucks spent five times more on eBay than those not participating in the program, earning eBay Bucks every half second during the pilot. Learn more on the eBay Bucks page on eBay.

I must say I am very happy with this program. I enrolled a while back and actually saved some money on my purchase. It was not much, .80 cents. But it did help reduce the price by that much. Also when you are inside of a listing, you can see how many eBay Bucks you will get from that purchase. Go Enroll Now!

Watch a video about the program .

Let me know what you think of this new program and how much you have been able to save.
