On June 12th, eBay launched another promotion to earn a 10% eBay Bucks bonus on qualified purchases.
As usual, items listed in the bullion categories are ineligible to earn eBay Bucks.
However, there are some ways to earn eBay Bucks when you buy bullion on eBay. When you buy bullion on eBay when they are running a bonus Bucks promotion it helps to reduce your overall dollar cost average. When factoring in the eBay Bucks bonus into the net cost of the bullion, it’s possible to buy bullion below spot price.
The first thing to note is that items listed in the bullion categories are ineligible for earning eBay Bucks. This rule has been in place for a long time as it’s always listed in the fine print whenever eBay has a special promotion like the one running today.
The second thing to note is that many times sellers will cross list bullion items in other somewhat related categories that are eligible for earning eBay Bucks. Often times this means searching for items you’d normally find in the bullion categories in related categories, such as coins and currency.
Online bullion dealers will do this because they are aware of the promotions and want to encourage people to purchase because of the promotion. eBay charges dealers a higher fee when listing in other categories so the items may be a slightly higher cost. When factoring in the eBay Bucks earned via the promotion this is often times not even a factor.
