Which gives a better rate for Ebay - Quidco or Nectar?

I have the option to buy things off Ebay through Quidco and receive money back or Nectar and receive points back.

I don't know which one to go through - which one offers the better rate of cashback?

Nectar offers 1 point per £1 spent.
Quidco offers 40% of 'Ebay revenue' - what Ebay receive through their fees not what you actually pay.

Quidco take the first £5 you earn as membership fee, whereas you keep all your Nectar points. Nectar points are worth approx 0.5p each.

Help me work it out please! :)

    Ebay receives a Final Value Fee (from 12 March) of 10% of purchase price, excluding P&P, so via Quidco you'd get roughly 4%, or 4p per £1 spent.
    If Nectar gives you 1 point per £1 spent, and 1 point is worth 0.5p, then you're getting 0.5%. Quidco is better.
    However...
    This assumes you're already over the £5 quidco membership fee. If you dont use Quidco for anything else, Nectar would be better.
