    I was going to grab a HAVA for 30% cash back but the HAVA website has 30% off instantly if you do a little survey :p

    But ebay may work out to be a bit cheaper still since the prices are below MSRP, but its nice to get it direct and they have the model I want while ebay did not.

    I'll sit on it for a bit and see if the 30% pops back up soon. I have already done 3 transactions on ebay with cash back I think so I only have 3 more and I cant do it anymore.

    It wasn't working for me but i searched for something else and it worked. I think it just changes from items, so keep searching for different things and you will get it eventually.

    Strange, it is gone again...but if the pattern holds, it will be back.

    They might be targeting times of the day when eBay has the most, or perhaps least hits.

    Either way, I managed to upgrade just about everythig. I only hope PayPal doesn't find some way to screw me out of my 2k and we all know PayPal is notorious for screwing people.

    The maximum payment *per transaction that cashback is offering right now is $200. I made a purchase a week ago and still have seven weeks before I am able to use it. Sucks it feels like rebate pretty much >.<

    Why does it say "Pending" under the status for all of my cashbacks?? This is worrying me cause I can't get any cash back and it hasn't been 60 days so I'm just really confused...anyone else getting the same thing??

    So your purchases were made less than 60 days ago? If so, then you have to wait to get your cash back.

    From their FAQ:

    Pending - We wait up to 60 days (and in a few cases 90 days) after your purchase for possible returns, and then your cashback savings will be available for payment.

    So, I can just open a second ebay account and get up to 24 times cashback?

    Won't ebay cancel it, as it says "Cashback Rewards can not be transferred or applied to multiple eBay.com accounts" in the conditions?

    THX!

    No, eBay allows 2 accounts to be used with the same cashback account(check eBay's conditions).
