The company eBay offers a loyalty program called eBay Bucks Rewards Program. When it comes to delivery, it provides boxes that have the company's logo printed and are made of eco-friendly materials in order to protect the environment. The company has digital products such as e-books and MP3 files.

First, you need to be enrolled in the program. Next, you need to buy products on the US eBay website. Lastly, it is required to purchase in certain categories. The items that are not qualified belong to the categories eBay Motors, classified, and real estate and also include the products Gift Cards, eBay Gift Cards, and Digital Gifts that are part of Gift Cards & Coupons category, Bullion in Coins & Paper at category, and heavy equipment in the business and industrial section. On the other hand, eBay bucks can still be used for redemption in these categories, but only eBay Gift Cards.
