POINT IT OUT
Sainsbury’s is making a big change to Nectar next week affecting anyone who shops on eBay
Here's how your eBay shop will change if you've got a Nectar card
FROM next week customers will have to take an extra step if they want to use Nectar points on eBay but they'll rack up double the points.
Shoppers who use the nifty Nectar card will be unable to collect or spend points directly on the eBay website or app from September 1.

On this date, customers will have their Nectar and eBay accounts unlinked.
The new rules say that in order to earn Nectar points when buying something on eBay, customers will need to shop via Nectar.
To do so, you'll need to search for eBay on the Nectar app or website and click on the eBay website or app to make your purchase.
Nectar said customers can continue shopping, earning, and spending points as they currently do until August 31, 2024.

Any points accrued so far will remain in your account once the change comes into force, eBay and Nectar said.
And at the moment, shoppers who spend on eBay can earn one Nectar point for every £1 they spend.
But the silver lining with the new change is that you'll get double the points as every £1 you spend on eBay will earn you two Nectar points.
Nectar also clarified that any vouchers you have created on eBay will still be available through your account on the website or the app.

The validity of vouchers is 12 months from the date you created them.
You can continue converting your points into vouchers up until August 31.
CHANGES AT EBAY
However, it won't be possible to convert your points into Nectar vouchers to spend on eBay starting from September 1.
A Nectar spokesperson told The Sun: "From September 1, the way customers can use Nectar with eBay is changing and they can collect two points for every £1 they spend via nectar.com and the Nectar app."
Announcing the change, Nectar told customers: "From the 1st of September 2024, the way you collect and spend Nectar points with eBay is changing.
"You will no longer be able to collect or spend Nectar points directly on the eBay website or app, and your Nectar and eBay accounts will be unlinked.
"However, you will be able to collect Nectar points on your eBay transactions when you shop via Nectar.
"Simply search for eBay on the Nectar app or website and click out to the eBay website or app to make your purchase.
