10% cash back from ebay...

Cashback from ebay through live.com when you use qualifying "buy it now"

This info is already out on other sites but I just wanted to share it here with everyone. Hopefully, this will help everyone make the most of their money. Here's the info, I've also added a how-to below.

Happy hunting!


Current Cashback is: 8%


In order to take advantage of this offer you need to:

a. Have or set up a cashback account through Live.com.

b. Have or set up an ebay account.

c. Have or set up a papal account to pay for the purchase.

Once you have met these prerequisites follow this quick how-to:

1. Sign in to live.com and then go to www.live.com/

2. Do a search for Wii .





3. One of the top results should be for ebay and show the gold coin logo and "Live Search Cashback". Click this link.



4. Sign into ebay if you're not already. Notice the "Microsoft Cashback" banner and % off.

5. Perform a new search for the item you want to do the "buy it now" 30% cashback for.



6. Purchases must be made with "Buy it Now" and paid for via Paypal.

Order a ASUS eee 1000h for $345 after cash back.

 

Oh great, it's only for US customers.
*fart noises*

 

Ebay sucks, how can it be a proper company when sellers have no rights wahtsoever. I sold an item, buyer never paid, opened up a dispute to get fees credited, then buyer leaves abusive feedback as he went on holiday and expected me to wait 2 weeks for payment and not open a dispute.

Ebay sucks

end of rant lol.

 

Ebay rocks, how can't it be any better when it helps me find cheap stuff. I b ought an item and paid, got the item fast and never had any problem with the seller.

Ebay rocks

end of praise lol.

 

Like any company, customers will have good and bad experiences.
I've been conned once on a set of knock-off DDR pads, but I've also gotten a quality N64 system and game package for a steal.

 

They limit it to 250 max cash back.

You can only use it three times on one account.

And you have to place the order with 2 hours of actually clicking on the cashback link.

Someone might want to verify my info.

 

Your info is pretty close to right. Last I looked they had upped it to six uses. I got a great deal on my M1330 with this. Keeping my out for a nice monitor now.

 

I have about $150 in my cashback account from purchases about a month ago. This cashback is sweet! It was stuck at 8% for a while. It probably won't be at 30% for more than a couple of days...

 

its max is 200$ NOT 250$ per transaction..

 

It's been up since Monday or Tuesday if I remember correctly. Probably won't last must longer unless Microsoft is trying to help the economy. XP

 

Cashback is limited to $200 and 6 transactions.


from the terms and conditions:

"The Cashback Rewards that you are eligible to obtain from Microsoft will be disclosed to you on www.eBay.com and will be equal to a percentage of the final sale price of the first item purchased during an Online Session (excluding shipping and handling fees, insurance fees and other such fees), for up to a maximum of $200.00 per Online Session

You may receive Cashback Rewards for up to a maximum of six (6) Online Sessions per account on www.eBay.com"

 

The way I took it, one cash back per online session, max of $200 per session.

Max of 6 cash back transactions per account total,
Max of $2000 entire lifetime.

 

They must have changed the rules since i last looked at it, which was back when the cashback thing was fairly new.

I wonder what kind of safe guards microsoft has against fraud. The clever mind can think of ways of making free cash *hint*.

 

Anyone else not seeing it anymore? I guess it's over?

 

I wish they could include Canada too.....

 

It's still working.

 

I got me a dell mini...

 

I don't see it on live.com anymore. Where is it still working?

 

Its working, just search for a generic product like Wii, then once your in ebay search for what you really want to get.

I just got a zeroshock iii sleeve. If I had the money I think I would have got a 4870X2, but alas no money for it.

Im about to toss my wireless 360 controller on ebay, new and unopened somebody may want to snag that up quickly with 30% off.

Edit: Never mind keeping the controller they are going for $35 not the $50 they used to be

 

What I don't get is the 6 online sessions. What if I clicked on the link on 6 separate occasions without buying anything while searching for 2 hours each time, does that mean I can't get the deal?

 

Oh and I forgot to thank the guys up top for helping me to figure it out.

 

I don't see ebay on the list now.

 

I updated my first post with how to search cashback on ebay.

 

Can somebody help me to understand how the cashback work?
Is the cash back applicable for the product you are buying now or the next product?
Will it be applied for iphone?

Thanks in advance

 

nice find warlord. i think i'll buy my x7800 now

 

It applies to the item you're buying. Spend $100 and you'll get $30 cash back in your live.com account. You won't be able to cash it out for 60 days though.

Thanks. It's a good time to buy! I wish I had the budget for a cpu now. the x9000 is $360 -108 and the the x7800 is $279 -84

 

What do you mean you won't be able to cash out for 60 days? does it just mean I can't use the cashback for 60 days?

 

Not as good as the initial 35% / $250 max, nonetherless a good promo.
but apparently it's not generating enough new business for Ebay to not layoff 1000 workers today.

 

The cashback goes into your live.com account but you can't touch the cash for 60 days. I'm still waiting for the cashback for my laptop.

 

lol no. 6 separate occasions meaning you have 6 different transactions.

 

Okay thanks. Just picked up a 26" hdtv for real cheap. Thinking of buying a PS3 as well. Love this 30% cash back.

 

I kinda wanted a TV too but getting a TV bigger than 26" from ebay with the shipping don't make it too much of a deal.I got 2 eee 1000Hs and an ipod nano,and saved almost $350.Would of bought more but I'm low on funds..probably should of anyway with my cc sigh....Well the %30 cash back is down to 20% now.Hope it comes again soon.Hurry if still want to take advantage of the 20%,even that may be gone soon.

 

Yeah boo it's down to 20%. Now it's gonna be a tough decision regarding the PS3. I'll get $30 less now in cash back.

 

Hmm..having trouble again. I clicked on the ad link for the 20% off on Live.com, but when I get sent to Ebay it no longer shows any Microsoft Cashback up at the top of Ebay, and when I click on Buy It Now, it no longer shows me how much I should expect to receive from Microsoft. Any ideas? Is it over over now?

Edit: Nevermind, it's up. Some reason it seems to come and go.

 

How many times can this be used under the same account? And does it only work when you use buy it now?

 

I'm not seeing it listed under stores at all on live.com cashback. What gives?

 

You have to follow the instructions to the deal explicitly. Go to Live.com then in the search bar, type something you are looking for. For example, I typed cheap ps3. Right below the number of web results is an ad that says Cheap ps3. You may get 20% off with Paypal if eligible. You click on that ad, and it'll bring you to Ebay.com. Find what you are really searching for, must be buy it now and Paypal must be an accepted form of payment. Then click buy it now, then in a box it will tell you how much Microsoft will give you in cash back.

 

Well I just did it. And when I finished making my offer and he accepted it showed I get 10.00 back. Cool, made the decision alot easier on the wife lol. Now where do I find the status of this cashback?

 

I hope he changed the Buy It Now price to what you wanted and bought it then. Otherwise, if you did the best offer deal then it won't work. You should get an email saying you're eligible for cash back and then you can create the account in the email link they send you.

 

great, great thread!
so the cashback only shows after u press buy it now, not b4?

 

Yes, it will show in the lower right hand corner for the amount you will get.

 

It reflected the price change. The battery was 50 plus shipping, I got it for 40 plus shipping. Shipping was like 10 bucks. Said I would get 10 bucks back. How long does it take for the email?

 

It took about 10-15 hours.

 

I'm not able to get any ads results to eBay all CashBack ads I get daily are from regular stores and around 5 - 50 bucks maximum !

 

Did you follow the instructions. Go to Live.com. Type what cheap ps3 in the search bar. An ad will show up right below the web results saying you may get 20% off with Paypal if eligible. It's an Ebay link so click on that. Then you can search for whatever you want while in Ebay, but need to make sure if you purchase it's Buy It Now, and that the seller accepts Paypal as a form of payment. Go to the item, click buy it now. It should show you how much you can get back. Simple.

 

Already used the 20% for 6 purchases. Just created a new eBay account to continue my shopping Any ideas when it will be up to 30% again?

 

Probably won't go back up to 30% for a while. I'm guessing it's gonna keep dropping until it's like at 8%, then a few months later hopefully jump back up to 35% and start the cycle over again. Friend jumped on the wagon when it was at 35% + 10% from PayPal. Jerk never told me about it. I don't know if we can be friends anymore..j/k lol.

 

OT: is that Italy in your avatar

 

It's Plovdiv, Bulgaria view of the "old town". Plovdiv is actually known as Eastern Europe's Italy so close but not quite
