Microsoft CashBack Program - 8% Off eBay Buy It Now Items

I read somewhere in this thread that you could use it 6 times per paypal account, but under the FAQ's it only says you can earn up to $2,500 per year. It didn't say anything about a limit on number of transactions. I havn't tried it yet but hopefully it will be available for christmas shopping. I sure could use all that cash back on all my online purchases!

To quote the rules/fine print in the OP:

You may receive Cashback Rewards for up to a maximum of twelve (12) Online Sessions per account on www.eBay.com. Once you have completed twelve (12) Online Sessions under any eBay.com account, you will no longer be eligible to receive Cashback Rewards for purchases made under such eBay.com account.;


In addition to the restrictions set forth above, all Cashback Rewards (including Cashback Rewards earned in connection with purchases on www.eBay.com) are subject to the annual $2,500.00 per user cap set forth in the Microsoft Service Agreement
 
Apparently back from the dead. Wish it were 30% again but beggars can't be choosers :teeth:.
 
Good luck all! Bought ~ $500 using PayPal on June 2008 . FOUR months later:

We apologize for the lengthy delay in seeing your cashback. We are still researching the reason your cashback is not pending. We will update you as soon as we have any further information on your missing cashback. We appreciate your patience and your business.
 
Works like a charm for me...

You just search on live.com, go to ebay sponsored link, buy it now, pay with paypal and wait 60 days. I did notice that the cashback logo goes away after awhile if you dont buy anything... if you read the fin print you have to buy it now within 60 minutes of an online session that starts with the live.com search... so I imagine there is a timing feature that you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can retry again... so I advise to first search on ebay... then once you find what you want to buy - then and only then go to live.com and do your search so you can hopefully have the cashback logo... also... make sure the cashback logo is at the top of the ebay page at all times until you actually buy it now.. if it is not... youre probably gonna have to wait to try your search again.

here's an email I got in my live account the same day as the transaction - cashback is pending...

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.. :]

Meaning.. look for this symbol (circled in RED)

The picture you see below represents the top left corner of the eBay Webpage...

eBay sponsered links are all gone. I tried all kinds of search and nothing came up. Please help.
 
It comes and goes, just keep checking day to day.

Although a few days ago the ebay link didn't appear, but when I refreshed it twice it popped up.
 
Do you think this can be used in conjunction w/ the 10% off coupon ebay emailed out?

From the terms:

eBay may permit you to combine Cashback Rewards with other eBay promotions, coupons, or gift certificates (each, an "eBay Promotion") and may permit you to receive Cashback Rewards on purchases of gift cards or gift certificates. If eBay elects to do so, you will be provided with an opportunity to combine Cash Back Rewards with the eBay Promotion during the checkout flow on www.eBay.com. With the exception of eBay Promotions as described herein, Cashback Rewards cannot be combined with any other offer on purchases on www.eBay.com;
 
I used it with the 10% off coupon, and so far so good. It makes quite a hefty discount :).
 
This thing is all over the place. Last week I used it for 25%. Appeared in my pending cashback account within an hour. Sunday night it was up to 30%, and it was instant cashback - appeared in my paypal account the instant I paid for my purchase. Today, it's back to 25% and was in my pending cashback within 5 min.

Still a great promo - though the 30% and instant payment was better.
 
everything I look at is only 25% off. Is there a way to get 30 and 35% off? Could someone provide a link to an ebay auction that you have verified gives 30 or 35 off so I can see if it shows the same for me?
 
it doesnt work for me, doest matter what i search, it only show amazon.com offer on the grey bar on top... nothing from ebay was coming up even though i search base on the keyword on the ad or item i wanted to buy. Can someone pls tell me did i do wrong? I have tried search for several day now i cant seem to get the ebay link at all. I believe i have done the steps right so please help. I need a 20% if that is the case.

ok i have tried with search other item like ipod, it came up... so why it doesnt apply to the item i wanted to get? :(
 
Is there any rhyme or reason as to when it's a certain percentage off? Has anyone figured that out?

It's 15% now...

I'm really hoping for a 25 or 30...

It has to be a BIN and it has to be a seller located in the continental united states. At least that's my experience...
