Anyone else ever received a $10.00 seller's credit from eBay lately for 'helping' them???

I got an email this morning advising me that I have just received this ... problem is, I don't sell stuff on eBay anymore

Maybe that's what it's for.

Hmmm ...

I thought this was just another one of those SPAM messages that eBay keeps sending me (or at least someone using an eBay-like address).

I guess I'd better list a few things to see if it is real, although I just checked my account and it does not show anything in the credits column. Maybe this is a scam ...

I got this a couple of times during the summer. I hardly look at as being on the "payroll"...my summer sales were so dismal that I looked at it as more of a rebate

Sure, Jackie sends me one a month. I've always considered it hush money.

RB, some folks who participate on eBay's Boards on a regular basis will periodically receive a $10 credit. I believe it used to be $25 but you know how much eBay needs to watch those pennies!!

Hello Blanche, the $25 credits are known as "Skippy" points and are still passed out on a limited basis on the various chat boards.

The $10 credits are passed out for posting on the Dreaded Threaded boards.

And for those of you thought Skippy was dead.
