Coming soon!
eBay Anything Points is a new program that will give you extra spending power on eBay! eBay members can convert airline miles and hotel points into Anything Points and earn Anything Points from partner offers. Points can be used to purchase just about anything on eBay, The World’s Online Marketplace™.
The eBay Anything Points program will be available May 15, 2003. Please check back soon to see our partner offers and start earning!
