Ebay Loses Lawsuit | Victims Win Back Millions

I recently wrote an article titled: Ebay Sued for $30 Million for Overcharging Fees back around January 21, 2011. Well, alot of time has passed and I hadn't heard nor read anything else of the lawsuit.

I was interested because me, along with thousands others, were listed as "victims" in the lawsuit because Ebay had overchaged us in fees.

Well, today I go and check my mailbox and along with bills galore, I find an odd letter from Yingling V.Ebay, INC. and I immediately know what it is. Well, I thought it was just more paperwork or something I may have to sign, but to my suprise it was a letter about the details with an attached check from the settlement fund.

I was happy! Not because it's a large check, by no means, just because I know that eBay didn't get to pocket my money, along with thousands of others', this time!

eBay Bucks Beta Program.....2% Back

Ebay Bucks.

Heard of it? What is it? Well, I have been a member of eBay for quite a few years now. It is my number one stop when shopping online. And in early 2009, I received an email from eBay inviting me to join their eBay Bucks Program, which is available by invitation only while in the beta stage.

eBay bucks basically is a program designed to point loyal users to eBay first when in need of a product. It lures them here by offering a rebate, so to say. Here's how it works. You shop at eBay, you earn 2% back on each qualifying purchase, then every three months, you receive your eBay Bucks certificate, as shown in the photo. You then have thirty days in which you can use your eBay bucks certificate to go towards any future purchase.

I know the 2% doesn't sound that great. But at least it is something. I don't try to get on eBay just to earn the eBay bucks, that would be crazy. It is just basically for the everyday shoppers, like myself, to keep us coming back. And for me, it's working!

Once the beta testing for eBay bucks ends, they will hopefully extend this program to all eBay users.
