I got that Ebay offer too Wheels. Funny thing is I'm an occasional buyer only, I don't sell.

I wonder if they are starting to get desperate?

Ditto. I received it as well, and I'm a buyer!

It is at least possible that this is a PR exercise to boost visitor information for eBay, as I understand that shareholders are not entirely impressed with the figures. Woo buyers into selling with what seems like a good deal, and John's your uncle.

I want to assert here and now, very definitely, that I USE the things I have! They're not lying around doing nothing. Ponder on that, PureProfile Survey People.

Gr8 & BNWT. Probably because you are already sellers & figure in their statistics. People like Countess & I are not sellers so, if we (& thousands of other buyers only) took up the Ebay offer the figures would be boosted & make Ebay look a bit better on paper.

I have only sold one thing - and that was years ago.  Other than that, I am a casual buyer.


I didn't get anything like that.

Yes I got it too, but not on my selling ID.  On an old one I had bought a couple of things on.

Definately seems to be aimed at non selling people and encouaging them to sell and encouraging them to sell off their unwanted goods.

I DID get it.... no email (as yet) but it WAS in my eBay messages inbox!

(Do I just write off the absent email as an eBay glitch...?)
