Ok, I'm trying to figure this out -- how many items can I get cash-back for? From what I'm reading it sounds like 3. I'll take the 3 discounts, but I won't continue to use the service if there are no future discounts. Am I reading the terms of service wrong or do they reset the item cap periodically and let you buy more with the service?

Thanks for your insight!

Well, you can also get 2% back for buy.com and 2.7% for Newegg

Other people have reportedly made multiple ebay accounts (using the same paypal and live account) to get 3 per ebay account, YMMV. I only made 3 purchases (so far?).

what items are eligible for 20%? i can't see to find any.. just went through about 20 from the slickdeals site

 

[Magusigne]

GR1. Go to live.com...search cheap ps2 then look in their highlighed websites in the box. ebay should be listed with 20% cashback using paypal

 

[gr1]

yes.. i've read through all the forums.. like i said i can't find a keyword that works to show the little gold icon

 

[Magusigne]

Just type Cheap ps2

www.live.com just search right there

first set of sites that pop up, that are in the box. Ebay should appear

 

[gr1]

yes it does, but it does not appear with a gold cashback icon.. does it work for you?

i won't waste the thread anymore.. thanks for your help powernick, but the icon does not show for me when logged in.

 

[Magusigne]

Just click on the link and see what happens..on top of the ebay page there should be a cashback logo

Wow...now people are selling personal checks "guaranteed to cash for $1084.03" for $1250 specifically to take advantage of the cashback deal (splitting the maximum profit after fees with the buyer).

item 330252648853

heh...I should have thought of that!

I'm pretty sure that's not legal, I would avoid
Anyway, that item # : The most you can get back is $250, so you only net $84...sooo not worth the risk

I remember reading on some website that eBay (?) sent out some notices to people buying coins or something like that to take advantage of cash back that their transaction was considered money laundering of some sort, so I would avoid it.

 

[Fardor]

20%... I feel like I need to take advantage of this, but there's nothing I really want, except money, but I don't want to be in any kind of legal trouble...

 

[SparkyJJO]

Well I'm in contact with MS figuring out why my first two transactions didn't show up in the live cash back account. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
My third transaction worked perfectly though.

 

[jlee]

Apparently I'm supposed to get a message via eBay's message/email system regarding the cash back...but I haven't received anything. I just bought the item a minute or so ago...do I have to wait a bit..?

edit: nevermind.

Now if I can keep Firefox from crashing before I finish the Live signup, I'll be all set.. :|

I used the 20% to buy a tool cart ($35 off). I have a few other things I'd like to pick up but I think I'll wait for a higher percentage to come around....hpoefully 35% will come back!

I got all my confirmations and I'm just waiting the 60 days....that is a bit long to wait for a rebate! Even the MIRs ussually come in 6 weeks or less! Sucks now but will be cool in two months.

 

[PeanutButter]

Probably more than two months. It becomes available after two months? Then there may be more "processing" before sending out which could take up to another month.

 

[moks78]

C'mon make it at least 25% so I can pull the trigger. It has been a measly 20% discount for the past week.

60 days beats cooler master, they take like 6-8 months in my experience

I bought something before registering with Live.com. How do I link my purchase to that account?

 

[I4AT]

Will this work with the "best offer" option for BIN items?

I'm pretty sure not.

Blood, if you followed my instructions (saw the 20% sign on top left, etc) you should get an eBay message in your My eBay that will allow you to sign up.

 

[Vikroda]

25% from my old tab is now showing the discount flag on ebay. They may be changing the percentage (up or down?) so get in while you can (if you have a 25% saved on one of your tabs).

 

[mshan]

What Live.com search word did you use?

I didn't. When the 25% was working last week I kept a tab open with the 25%. The link worked for a while but then they turned it off for most of this week. I just tried again and the 25% link works again. I tried a couple key words that worked in the past but they all showed just 20%. I think people on FW tried to see if they could share the link, but I don't think that any of those shared links worked.

 

[mshan]

25% looks like it is returning with Live.com searches.

EDIT: Paypal % off logo isn't showing up on eBay page, so be careful!!!
