Best credit card to use at eBay.

Online Shopping

eBay is the largest U.S. online auction and resale marketplace and codes as online shopping on essentially every credit card we track. Unlike Amazon, eBay rarely has a card-specific bonus carve-out, so the right card here is the strongest generic online-shopping earner you carry. Watch for cards with a U.S. online retail cap — eBay payments via PayPal still count as eBay for category coding, but third-party processor purchases on eBay's classifieds side may not.

Picks without a tag earn at eBay both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on ebay.com.
