    Good Evening All,

    I am an active BUYER on eBay, so I got a message from eBay last nigh which seems a new program they intend to start. As you can see from the attached picture that it's only %2 but I dont know if they will stick that low or they will raise it up by time. Any one got the similar message?

    This is how my account looks like after I accepted to participate in the program:

    Same percentage?

    Enhance the economy? Dunno but seems a great action to increase the cash flow. Anyway having an extra %2 as a profit for an active buyers ain't bad at all.

    Hope to see that program above %10 to be really significant.

    People were probably randomly chosen. I have 3 eBay accounts, and only received an invitation on one.

    It said in the inventation its a beta program and there is random selection, I am sure it did not hurt that I have bought several things with live.com cashback and just got a camera lens a few days ago.

    Im sure they are targeting live.com users.

    I got the email, but wasn't interested. My last transcation with Live was back in November too, so it should be at random.
