    this might be the reason why:

    Q: Why are some eBay rewards deposited immediately?

    A: When you make a purchase that is eligible for cashback on eBay using PayPal, PayPal might decide that your cashback reward is eligible for immediate deposit (see eBay's terms and conditions). For these rewards, check the PayPal account that you used to make the purchase, and see your cashback! For eBay purchases that are not rewarded immediately, your reward will be deposited automatically after 60 days to the PayPal account you used to make the purchase. If you decide to return your purchase with cashback that was rewarded immediately, PayPal will reverse the cashback reward.

    sounds good to me!

    Just bought a Asus PC 1000HA, got the 10 percent, but have not gotten a notification about the cash back (yes, have paypal, live account and cashback).

    Oops spoke to soon. Just got the cash back confirmation. Awesome deal.

    Use the 25% cashback with live.com and the 10% ebay coupon to effectively make it 35%

    Not exactly. A very small percentage of fortunate souls have been known to be able to use the coupon even if they didn't get the message. Still, it is very rare. No harm trying I guess?

    BE VERY CAREFUL using the coupons everyone i have had 2 items cancelled because of trying to combine them as well as people i know have had the same issue. it is NOT advisable to use them together. it may go through fine but it may be cancelled down the road

    Thank you. I just remembered I had Adblock+ 1.0 installed. Had to disable it, unlike with previous versions. I was ready to jump with 30%, but at 20%, Newegg beats the price out, nearly :) Thanks again.

    Hi folks, I read somewhere that the cashback program is going to be instantaneous - like MS will put money into your Paypal account immediately after you buy - can anyone confirm/deny this? If it's true, does anyone know when it will come into effect?

    Not exactly. It has been instant for some transactions. As to which transactions, it's been pretty much random.

    Aargh, paypal XD Sounds like an interesting idea. I have used it in the past and truthfully don't mind having to wait. I guess knowing I found a deal is better than the actual payout, hehe.

    CRAP! I am so pissed off! I bought a camera on black friday when it was up to 30%, the stupid seller gave me a refund because he told me he was out of stock. Now it's only 20%.

    Thanks to those who started this thread. I just used this to save 20% ($100) today on the new Asus 1002HA netbook on eBay. My only regret is not having discovered these savings a few months ago when the savings were even higher and I had yet to buy a new MP3 player. Still, this is a great way to shop. I also just used it to save $4 on an Olympia bag at another website. Hey, every little bit counts.

    This has been a dangerous discovery.

    It's at 15% now. It's still up. Just need to hit a couple refreshes, but 15% isn't as worth it now.

    Yes, it's at 15% now. I just used it to get a license key for Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 for $33 after the cashback.

    If some are waiting for it to go back up to 30% or even 20% I wouldn't hold your breath. It could very well go back up, but it could also go down again or completely disappear. I would take advantage of the 15% now. It's still a good savings.
