    Wow this is great! I've seriously already gotten over $500 back from Micro$oft's cash back program! I've made several large purchases on eBay back when CB was in the 25-35% range.

    I hope they do away with the 10 CB limit for eBay... If not, I'll have to get my sister signed up... ;)

    if this applies to eBay, I'm gonna have a great August. I have a couple of netbooks on my short list, and this would bring them below $300.

    yes, please.

    Are you sure about that? Bing Cashback's FAQ says the yearly limit is $2,500 which can be met with just a single purchase.

    Anyway, if this means possibly 20% or more on TigerDirect... :eek:

    Each individual item's discount is capped at $200. The total amount you can earn per calendar year is $2,500.

    Gar has to start on the 10th, when I just got a 15% off coupon from ebay that expires on the 8th...

    If I could have stacked those, I maybe could have justified getting a Wacom Intuos4 :(

    15% for anything? Lucky! I suggest you take advantage of it, just in case eBay Cashback doesn't double.

    Yes that is my thinking, also the coupon cuts the cost instantly it looks like, so no waiting for cash back.

    Still though the cheapest intuos4 is like $320ish while I may save like $46 its still way too expensive. I'll probably have to sit tight until we start to see refurbished ones, they are usually 2/3 or 1/2 price and just as good as new.

    I kinda feel like picking up a DS Lite, but that is just throwing my money away because its something I really do not need.

    I agree Vicious. I also received the 15% eBay coupon and am looking to buy a second GPS unit for my parents...I only wish that they would extend it a few more days for extra savings.

    The coupon does provide instant savings, I recently used a 8% one. Bing Cashback is currently at 8% and you can use your coupon as well.

    1 - Go to http://bing.com

    2 - Search "iPod" (only test word) on Bing click on the sponsored link (either on the top or in the left) from a search result showing "www.ebay.com" as well as "8% off with Paypal if eligible"

    3 - Once at eBay notice the Cashback logo up top.

    4 - Find your desired listing. Click on "Buy it now" and pay with PayPal.

    5 - An email with Cashback details will be sent to the email address associated with your eBay account or check under your "my messages" in your account.

    6 - Follow the instructions in that email and claim your Microsoft Cashback.

    For official Bing stores that would be the best way. If you want one off of eBay though, do the search at Bing.com and follow the eBay link.

    That's because you clicked on shopping, which you weren't instructed to do. Do the search at Bing.com, don't click shopping or anything else. Here's a link:

    eBay did have the 10% banner, but then on refresh it disappeared. Hopefully a snafu or update.

    15% + 2% eBay bucks equals a wonderful day :)
