eBay Bucks is a loyalty rewards program offered by eBay to customers. It is eBay's way of rewarding loyal customers with a cash back bonus on eligible purchases during promotional periods.

Throughout the year eBay offers special promotions where the cash back reward has been as high as 15%. Most gold and silver bullion items are not eligible to receive cash back rewards. Excluded items include silver and gold items listed in the Bullion category.

However, some items that are silver and gold bullion garner numismatic interest or have collectible value and are often sold with a numismatic premium over melt value. The items listed in these collectible categories may be eligible to receive the cash back rewards.

Buying bullion coins and collectibles when eBay has active cash back rewards promotions is another way to help in offset silver and gold bullion premiums. This can reduce the dollar-cost average of your investments in both precious metals and collectibles.

Below is a selection of items that are often eligible to earn eBay Bucks. This list is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all eBay Bucks eligible bullion items.

More information about the eBay Bucks rewards program and how to sign up for it can be found on eBay's website.
