eBay

Yes, it is safe to use a credit card on eBay, since the site does not share card details with the seller and offers a money-back guarantee for most transactions. You can also make eBay purchases with third-party services like PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, which further protect your credit card information.

Besides, all credit cards offer $0 fraud liability, so you won't be responsible for any charges you didn't make if your card gets stolen. You can also protect yourself further with virtual credit cards and digital wallets when making online purchases. Both mask your real card information and generate a temporary card number, CVV, and expiration date to help protect you from fraud.

eBay points are worth 0.67 cents each, on average. For example, 10,000 eBay points have a dollar value of roughly $67 and 1,000 points $6.7. As a result, eBay points are less valuable than the average superstore's rewards points, which are valued at 0.84 cents each.

The easiest way to calculate the value of a retailer's rewards points for any redemption method is to determine the dollar value of what you're redeeming for, minus any taxes and fees that you'll still have to pay, and then divide that amount by the number of points you're required to redeem. For your convenience, here's the formula for eBay points:

Dollar Value of Redemption Item / Number of eBay Points Needed = eBay Point Value

How to Earn More eBay Points

It's important to remember that while you can't change the redemption values of eBay points, you can increase the rate at which you earn them. One of the best ways to increase the number of eBay points that you earn is to apply for the eBay Credit Card.
