Even more Ebay Cashback??? YMMV

Hey Everyone,

I didn't see another post on here for this yet so thought I'd let you guys know. Just received an e-mail this morning from Paypal for 20% cashback when buying things on Ebay up to $100.00 USD, from searching around- apparently historically this stacks with the live.com cashback offers. If anyone can confirm, deny that as a fact great! If so, this is a pretty darn amazing deal.

Good Luck,

E-Mail Received:
Receive 20% cash back on eBay. com purchases (excluding tax and shipping). ("Offer") Offer applies to transactions between December 10, 2008 and December 19, 2008 using PayPal as the payment method. Purchases made within the Offer period must be charged to your account no later than December 19, 2008. The maximum amount of cash back per PayPal account is $100 USD. The cash back will be deposited into your PayPal account by January 31, 2009.

To be eligible for the Offer, you must: (1) have a confirmed U.S. PayPal account in good standing, (2) receive an email directly from PayPal inviting you to participate in the Offer, and (3) make your purchases no later than December 19, 2008 using your PayPal account, which also has the same email address where you received the Offer invitation.

The following transactions excluded from this Offer include but are not limited to: Send Money transactions, PayPal Mobile transactions, PayPal Plug-In transactions (formerly named: Virtual Debit Card) service, gift certificate payments, gift card purchases, PayPal ATM/Debit Card payments, payments made when you are not logged into your PayPal account, and PayPal Plus Credit Card/ eBay MasterCard payments not made through your PayPal account. If the payment is refunded or cancelled at any time, you are not eligible for the Offer. If the payment is refunded after you receive the cash back, PayPal will deduct the cash back amount from your account.

PayPal reserves the right to cancel, suspend or modify part or this entire Offer at any time without notice, for any reason in its sole discretion. This Offer cannot be resold or transferred.

 

The only catch is the offer only applies to people receiving that email.

 

Yep, wasn't sure who receives it or not. That's why it's YMMV...I wish I could let someone else use it for a notebook purchase on here- to stack w/ live.com someone would have a real nice deal.

 

hey not sure it its only a email recieved offer only, you can see it when you go on www.paypal.com i didn't seem to recieve an email from them. But i think i am still eligible for this deal.

 

i don't get it... isn't this just normal cashback?

 

+ add in the live.com cashback (apparently)

 

Well live.com cashback is what 8% now? So 8+20 = 28%. Live.com cashback for ebay went upto 30%.

 

I'd wait a week or two before purchasing anything from eBay... Who knows it might go back up to 20-30%... My best deal was a 10% off Paypal coupon combined with 30% cashback. I purchased my $200 GPS that way...

 

yup i did this to get 30% cash back (20% live.com and 10% paypal)

 

I guess it would really depend on what you're purchasing if you want to wait for it to go back up or not. Since Max cashback with live.com is $200 I think- if what you're buying is equal or greater than $2500 there is no point in waiting (2500x.08=200) - it wouldn't even matter if the live.com discount was 50% and they put a cap at $200.00, stack this coupon and knock another $100 off- it can't hurt! In theory- and I am not responsible if I'm totally wrong- it would turn a $2500.00 purchase into $2200.00- not a bad deal if you ask me.

 

I don't think this is only limited to receipients of the e-mail like Vince said. If you look at paypal's homepage it's being advertised right there!

Edit: After doing some research, I have found that this is YMMV and only given to certain accounts...Sorry guys but still worth checking your paypal e-mail to make sure you didn't get it by chance!

 

So is there a process to go through to get this or if I jusy buy something on ebay using paypal, 10% will be deposited back into my paypal account?

 

Is this still available?
