eBay Pulling from Rewards Sites

**SunshineGirl** · 06-03-2011, 10:59 PM

We were notified by eBay tonight that they are suspending working with ALL cash back and reward sites effective 6/16. From what we can tell, they think that people will continue to make as many eBay purchases without loyalty sites and so it isn't worth it to pay us for sending sales anymore. This is going to be a really big hit to our business because eBay is statistically the merchant that we have the most sales through. There is absolutely nothing that we can do to get them to keep us. They are shutting out every rewards site until at least October 1. We should be able to keep them on our other non-incentive sites, but if we do not remove them from SR this week, we risk losing any chance of ever working with them again.

Obviously we are shocked that this came out of the blue. We'll leave it up to you the extent to which you do or not not want to shop through them anymore. We'll be pulling down all of our links in the next few days.

That is a shame! I like ebay and often look for things there that I could buy elsewhere because I can get the SR points using ebay purchasing. I won't do that anymore.

Not happy to hear this.

I shop there all the time. I just bought 2 items just this week and have been procrastinating about some thing else. Guess I'd better go get it while the links are still active.

I didn't shop their much but now I definitely won't. Most of their daily deals were through buy.com or disneyshopping.com so I'll just go directly to those sites and skip over ebay.

Wow I am really going to miss them, a lot of my shopping credits come from there. It was really nice getting ebay bucks and sunshine credit.

Wow, I really love ebay too. I hope they will return to SW in the future!

Bummer, well I definitely won't be shopping with them as much anymore. I also shopped mostly because I could get credit through SR....I say we all start a SunshineRewards Boycott Campaign!!
