Do you shop on eBay [1]? I have used eBay off and on for almost 15 years… but somehow I missed the fact that they have a rewards program!
I’ve been shopping a bunch on eBay recently to stock up on some discontinued items I sell on Amazon [2]. (Ironically, there’s a book about the topic How to Buy Low on eBay and Sell High on Amazon [3], but I’ve never read it… maybe I should!). Anyways, I stumbled on the eBay Bucks [4] program. It’s a free rewards program that lets you earn cash back on your shopping. Let’s take a closer look for Free Money [5] Friday!

More on eBay Bucks
Maximums. You can earn up to $100 in eBay Bucks on any single eBay purchase and you can earn up to $500 in eBay Bucks for all qualifying purchases during a given calendar quarter.
Calendar Quarters. Since this calendar quarter is almost over, it might be hard to earn the bucks before the end of the month. However, if you are going to spend more than $250 in any quarter, it’s worth signing up!
