Another way to do it is to go to live.com and search for "cheap -item name-" and then look at the ad section on the top and you should see a link to ebay with the discount listed.


for example try "cheap ipod"



I got an applecare warranty for my mac yesterday and the final cost should be $71.

Sadly, yes. With all the goverment budget cuts, medicare just doesn't cut it anymore. People are forced to shop for healthcare providers on eBay.

I see no links anywhere for ebay and I've search and looked all over the site. Ebay is not there.

Go to www.live.com and search t43. And make sure you don't have any ad blockers.

Note also that they increased the limit up to 6 per ebay account.

Good luck on this. This is the status of mine, and I am WAY beyond the 60 days:


"We understand your frustration with how long this process is taking. We have received information from eBay stating they do show your purchase in their system and they are trying to push your information through to our system. Please understand, per the terms of our partnership with eBay, all of the accounting for these purchases is stored and managed on their end. We don't have any record of eBay purchases in our system until eBay has credited cashback to your username and sent us a file with your purchase information. The purchases are merely reflected in our system as a vehicle for payment. We have no means of creating or editing eBay cashback purchases. We will continue to work with eBay on your missing cashback. We truly appreciate your patience during this process."

GUYS! I've gotten my payback from LIVE SEARCH last time around. I did 3 buy-it-now purchases, and paid via PAYPAL.. got my promised $ back. I approve this program. I am trying to get big purchases now :P

remember that this doesn't work with auction-style items.. only BUY IT NOW purchases.. and that you have to pay via paypal for the items, not the seller's third-party payment site.

make sure you see the "live payback" icon on top of the ebay webpage!

PS: have patience.. :]

i've had no problems with the microsoft live cashback program (other than having to wait 60 days, which is a bit annoying).. but after 60 days, they take up another 14 days to send the payment to you through paypal, might i add they live up to their promise.. sometimes you don't even have to wait 14 days.. my first payment came in 6 days after the 60 day wait. everything is on time and smooth so i also approve of this program!

I must be a retard because I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I got to www.live.com, search for "xbox 360 elite", then click the eBay link in the gray bar at the top. It sends me to eBay and a whole list of items from the search. I pick a BIN item, but I see no reference to LIVE anywhere on the page. :-\ Will it show up when I go to pay for it?
