mypoints & ebay

Mypoints is now offering 2 pts/$1 spent on ebay. Discovered it today after buying a number of items in the past two weeks. <sigh>

Keep emails confirming your bid and try to make a note of what clickthrough was used. I had to email several times to get credit (but I did)

Wow!! That's wonderful news for this eBayholic... Thanks for the heads up. Just made a purchase a few minutes ago. ^

Don't think anyone knows yet since it's a new connection.

I'm not familiar with mypoints - for say $1K worth of ebay purchases what would I receive from mypoints in return?

It took a great deal more than 30 days. If it's any consolation, mine were at least multiple posted (probably for each time I wrote customer service)

MyPoints can be redeemed for various gift cards and merchandise. My experience has been that you can get about nine-tenths of a cent ($0.009) in value per MyPoint if you redeem for gift certificates, or Marriott Checks, or similar rewards.

So, $1,000 on ebay => 2,000 MyPoints => about $18 worth of merchandise.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, that is exactly what I had been looking for!

I have been waiting for Mypoints for Ebay purchases for 30 days as of today. Does everyone start emailing at this point? I keep checking Mypoints to see if the points are pending like with Office Depot or other merchants, but the points don't even show pending. What does everyone forward to Ebay to prove their claim for points - the Ebay "Congratulations..." message?

Hmmmm

Are the points only for purchases? Or are listings included as well? Since I'm emptying my basement of old kid stuff, the listing fees could be worth something as well! Guess I have to go read the MyPoints site (...and get ready to do battles for the points! )

I think they will show up sooner or later, (my guess is closer to 8 weeks) but I would start emailing. Go to your account history, find the clickthrough and paste your win confirmation ("Congratulations...") message in there. If you made multiple bids on a single clickthrough send each item separately.
