    If I didn't have another job, I would definitly go for that route. The prices I am selling these on ebay are riddiculus compared what I could as locally.

    umm wow be careful now with cashback... i finally after 3 days received a auto response and was a bit suprised as to what it said:

    Thank you for contacting Live Search cashback Customer Support.



    The support form you filled out suggests that you have you have requested payout but have not received any payment after 7 days.



    Due to the overwhelming response to the cashback program is it taking us a little longer to address your email. We would like to help you resolve your question as quickly as possible, so we are sending you information right away that may answer your question.



    The most common reasons not seeing a payout of cashback are:

    · It may take up to 7 days to process payment, perhaps a bit longer if you requested payout via check

    · For purchases made through eBay, per the terms and conditions in regards to that promotion, PayPal is the only option that you can request for pay out. There are no fees associated with any transfers from Live Search cashback.



    What you can do:

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Make sure that your account information (PayPal , back account, or mailing address for checks) is correct in your cashback account. If there is a problem with the payout, the money will be refunded to your cashback account in approximately 30 days. At that point, you can request payment again and choose another reward method. Unfortunately, we can't expedite this process.



    This is an automated response, so you may have already tried these steps, or they may not apply to your particular issue. If these suggestions, or the FAQ located here, do not address your issue, simply reply to this email and an agent will contact you as soon as possible to assist you further.



    Thank you again for contacting cashback Customer Support,

    The Live Search cashback Customer Support Team

    am i crazy or does that seem like they can now take another 30 days on top of the original 60 + 7...if they really wanted to..

    I am pondering to either hold out on ebay or go ahead with newegg's 24 hours 15% off deal. I know cashback will go back to 25%+ before Christmas, just as it did with Thanksgiving, but I don't know if I want to wait...I am looking at putting together an external drive setup. Hmm...

    I wonder if the lengthy time period of the latest cashback is going to result in significantly fewer ebay sales for awhile. The sellers will have to slowly bring their prices down and people will not be as happy without a discount. I was going to buy another notebook (5 different purchases over the last 2 months), but I won't consider ebay at current levels without a discount.

    It was free money so I'm not sure anyone has reason to complain.

    It is unfortunate that resellers felt it was their discount, not the consumers.
    Some eBay resellers almost make it seem as if they are doing the buyer a favour by only jacking the price up ¾ of the discount percentage leaving the buyer with the remaining ¼.

    Because of reseller attitudes, most eBay stuff now seems to be price inflated
    and some listings still try and advertise 25%.

    Especially for the goods being sold on ebay, supply will always follow the demand. If the demand is high enough, sellers will increase their price and also increase the supply to captyre the most out of the demand cycle. Econ101

    Ya I saw that i didn't mind if they would jack it up a little. But they abused so much they jacked it up a lot which was really abusive.

    For me, I'm thinking MS won't raise cashback for Christmas above 8% for the following rationale.

    Even if it does raise cashback, most purchases won't have enough shipping time to reach the buyers, rendering the purpose of a current Christmas cashback somewhat moot. However, one could argue that the amount saved on cashback could make it worthwhile to purchase 1-3 day shipping, which is certainly possible.

    Arg, it's at 8% right now. But that's better than nothing I guess.

    So who's going to be using live.com now? Honestly, I sure wasn't there for the great search engine. They should bring back 35% cashback for 1 week and end on a good note.

    Yar. I bet that it will die. If you have a major credit card, the reward from using their link and your cc number is considerably more at many major retailers. On top of the 1-2% for just using the card, it can go to an additional 5%-7% even and is easier to deal with than MS.

    Man...Just when I received the cashback from the first purchases. I was gonna buy a couple things with the cashback, but oh well. Gotta look for good deals elsewhere to try to make up for the 25 - 30% cashbacks that I received.

    Even the cashback rate jump to 15% will make me happy.
    All I am doing now is waiting.
