Nectar Programme T&Cs
Nectar, the UK's largest loyalty programme, has made arrangements with eBay to offer eBay buyers the opportunity to collect Nectar points on eligible items and then convert them to an e-voucher to spend them on items that are purchased on eBay.co.uk using PayPal, credit card, debit card or PayPal Credit on check out.
The below terms apply to all eBay users who choose to participate in Nectar on eBay.
1. Collecting Nectar points
To begin collecting Nectar points with eBay you must have a Nectar card. If you don't already have one, you will need to visit nectar.com to sign up. You must be a UK resident to register for a Nectar card and take part in the Nectar programme.
You must have an eBay.co.uk account, a Nectar account and link the two together. You can then collect Nectar points every time you buy eligible items on eBay.co.uk where the Nectar logo is displayed on the view item page and you check out using PayPal, credit card, debit card or PayPal Credit.
You will not collect Nectar points on any transactions that occurred before you linked your eBay.co.uk and Nectar accounts.
You will receive one Nectar point per £1 you spend per eligible item up to a maximum of 300 Nectar points. If you spend £xx.99, this will be rounded up for the purposes of collecting Nectar points. Anything less will be rounded down. As an example – if you spend £29.99, you will receive 30 Nectar points. If you spend £29.95, you will receive 29 Nectar points.
Please note that points are generally calculated per eligible item not on the total purchase price. For example, if you purchase 3 items in a single transaction worth £4.95 each, you will receive 4 Nectar points for each item for a total of 12 Nectar points.
However, if you buy multiple quantities of the same item from the same seller, the points for those items will be calculated based on the total price. For example if you buy 2 of the same item from the same seller for £5.99 each , the points will be calculated based on a total price of £11.98, and you will receive 11 points.
Nectar points are calculated according to the actual amount spent on the item. Any amount spent on postage & packaging or any taxes not included in the item price will not be taken into consideration.
If items are bought from sellers outside the UK, payment may be subject to a conversion rate. The amount of Nectar points you can collect on such transactions will depend upon the final purchase price paid using PayPal, credit card, debit card or PayPal Credit (except any amount spent on postage & packaging or any taxes not included in the item price). Collected Nectar points will be credited to your Nectar account within 28 days of paying for an eligible item.
1.1 Refunds
If you receive a refund for any reason on the purchased items, the awarded Nectar points will be deducted from your Nectar account within 28 days of the refund. Points deductions for refunds of multiple items are calculated on the individual item price.
1.2 Bonus offers
Any promotion ("Promotion") will be open from the start date as stated in the marketing communication regarding the Promotion ("Marketing Materials") or, if no such date is stated, from when you first saw the Marketing Materials until the end date as stated in the Marketing Materials ("end date"). This period will be known as the "Promotion Period".
Alternatively, the Promotion Period may be limited to the number of times the Promotion offer can be used. If this is the case, it will be clearly stated in the Marketing Materials.
You will collect the Nectar points and any bonus points when you checkout with PayPal, credit card, debit card or PayPal Credit using your linked eBay.co.uk and Nectar accounts.

Only eBay.co.uk registered private users of 18 years of age or older who have been invited to participate in the Promotion are eligible. You must be a UK resident to register for a Nectar card and take part in the Nectar programme. Please find below the eligibility requirements for the various types of bonus offers, unless otherwise stated in communications from eBay.
When you purchase an Item: You must be registered on www.eBay.co.uk (the "Site") and have a Nectar card linked to your Site account.
When you link your Nectar and Site accounts: You must be registered on the Site and have no existing Nectar account linked to your Site account. To receive the bonus offer you must either link your Nectar account number to your Site account or sign up for a Nectar account on the Site. The bonus offer applies once only the first time you either link your Nectar account number to your Site account or sign up for a Nectar account on the Site. Relinked accounts or multiple applications will not qualify.
When you spend a specific amount on eBay.co.uk during a given time frame: You must be registered on www.eBay.co.uk (the “Site”) and have a Nectar card linked to your Site account. You must also make an offer to purchase the item for the required amount on eBay.co.uk before the end of the Promotion Period.
Promotion details
The bonus Nectar points that you receive will vary from promotion to promotion. As an example only, the promotion offer could be '100 bonus Nectar points' or 'triple Nectar points'.
You can collect up to 300 Nectar points per eligible item, but this limit is increased in line with the promotion. For example – if you purchase an item for £500.00 (and so would collect a maximum of 300 base Nectar points) and have a bonus points offer enabling you to collect double Nectar points, you will collect 600 Nectar points in total.
Bonus points will be awarded within 28 days of the end of the Promotion Period. To see how many bonus points you will receive for the specific item(s) you wish to purchase, please click the 'See details' link on the page where the item is displayed, underneath the box where the item price is displayed.
