    Still, if they're wearing T-shirts it's cheap publicity for ebid.

Now there is very little on offer and for those who don’t wear T-Shirts or Baseball caps you are left with a shopping bag! Please eBid would you please review what is on offer with the aim to revitalising the offerings on Buddy points.
    Agree entirely - I have over 100 points gathering dust as I don't know what to spend them on!

    Perhaps they can be donated to a charity for something useful?

    Yes, a charity donation sounds good to me

    Anyone remember Green Shield Stamps? Giving to charity was an option with those.

    But at least you had to buy something to accrue them in the first place. Not like the ridiculous Buddy Points system where they can be AMASSED by just advertising the site.

    A job the guys should be doing.

    I feel that the Buddy Points system was destroyed when eBid brought in the 100 points for people signing up to the social sites. Suddenly people that had helped build eBid found the points they had built up dwarfed by new arrivals whose only purpose often seemed to be to cash in on those 'free' buddy points; easily outbidding those who had spent years building up their points.

    In a nutshell.
