Thought this was worthy of a new thread. Its back! And with a vengeance. As of this writing its at [see title]. Link

And for those that dont know, the amount of uses for this promotion seems to be doubling at a steady rate, now at 40 uses per account, and the maximum amount you can get back PER A SINGLE TRANSACTION was reduced from $250 to $200. The total culmulative cashback allowance is capped at $2,500.00 per calendar year.


How this works:

If you dont already know about this, its a very simple promotion offered by Microsoft in order to promote usage of their search engine live.com. All you have to do is go to www.live.com and search for something common, like "Wii" as in nintendo wii. In the Sponsored sites at the top you will see a link to Wii's on ebay with a small logo next to it that says Live Search Cash Back and below that "You may get xx% off paypal eligible". When you click on the cash back logo it takes you to ebay and BIN (Buy It Now) auctions for Wiis. From there you simply use the ebay search function to find the BIN auction for the item you desire and purchase it. When you click the BIN button prior to clicking on Commit to buy you should see a message below with the Cash Back you are eligible to recieve. Once you buy the auction pay for it with paypal and give it an hour. Eventually you'll get a message in your ebay account saying "You've earned cashback" simply click on it and follow the instructions. If you dont have one you'll be asked to create a live account. I believe most people will already have an existing live acct due to their Xbox, MSN, or Hotmail associations so feel free to use that if you like. This is quick, and thus far i havent gotten any spam due to it, nor have i read of anyone getting any spam. And thats it, 60 + 15 days later [they allow a buffer period incase you return what you bought] you can redeem the money.

So to summarize

1. use live.com search engine to find any product on ebay. Any keyword is as good as another, hence i used "wii" as an example.

2. Once activating the link use ebay.com to browse for the Buy It Now auction you desire and purchase and pay with paypal. Wait until you get a message from ebay and get your cash back with your live account. This can take a few hours.

3. ~75 days later its in your pocket. [60 days before you can redeem and then an additional 2 weeks before it actually transfers into your paypal account]

Again this is just a promotion by MS to promote use of their search engine, theres no catch. You dont have to promise your first born nor random legs or limbs. Its as simple as it sounds.

Some things to note

-This promotion is limited to only US residents.

-You must pay with paypal and it must be a BIN auction.

-It takes about 75 days to recieve the actual money which will be in the form of a FEE FREE deposit into your paypal account. From there you can spend it or transfer it into your checking or simply request a check.

-If you return the item you purchased and used the promotion on you LOSE the refund.

-This is only valid for Ebay user/store auctions on Ebay.com. No live auction or ebay motors etc.. Though i think you can get away with buying international auctions you're watching on ebay.com. I also noticed that this works if you're offered a "Second chance" on an item you bid on since it turns the auction into a BIN.

-You may only use this a maximum of 40 times per ebay account per person. A few people are reporting success using different ebay accounts with the same cashback account in order to achieve more than 20 uses. YMMV.

-Maximum of $200 back PER AUCTION [$2,500 Cap per account] and the percent savings does vary and can change without notice.

Rest of the terms are here:
http://pages.ebay.com/cashbackoffer/terms.html

I recommend at least skimming them. Enjoy.

Couple additions

"Instant" Cashback is now available. However, to quote "Instant cashback will be eligible for some, but not all users." Its unknown what the criteria is to be "eligible". I would not suggest you make a purchase unless you dont mind waiting.

Ebay/Paypal Coupons WILL stack with this. The amount is deducted off the full auction value. IE 10% Coupon applied to $100 purchase will save you $10. If the Cashback percent is 25% you will still get $25 additional back for a total savings of $35. Usually the Ebay/Paypal coupons have a maximum savings of $100 for a maximum total of $300 saved on any single purchase. This also stacks with other promotions run by Bigcrumb/ebates where you can earn some more money back based on an items selling fees.

[quote name='torifile']I see the banner when I click on the cashback link in my search. It stays throughout my ebay session so EVERY BIN item is a possibility, even if a search for that particular thing on live.com doesn't yield a cashback promo.

What's a good deal for RB2 for the PS3? I've found one for $229 shipped, makes it $161 after cashback. Any better deals out there?[/quote]



ive been looking for a rb2 deal too. the best one ive found is $217 shipped (or about $152 after cashback). however, the seller has a lower feedback rating when compared to the sellers selling it for $229 shipped.


oh yeah, you should definitely check if you have the 10% off coupon email. it brings the $229 one down to $138 (after 10% off and 30% cashback off original price) and it brings the $217 listing to about $131.
 
[quote name='adawg555']Check your emails for a 10% off coupon from eBay for your next purchase. I just got one and it stacks with the CashBack.[/quote]

Damn, the 30% cashback has me teetering on a purchase. An extra 10% off would send me over.
 
Hah, it would go back up to 30% a week after I order something at 20...

I won't complain though. I was thinking about doing the TRU B2G1 deal, but I really only want 2 games right now (LBP and Fallout 3). This will be a great way to get them for about $40 off :)

I'm hopeful, though, that I get one of these 10% off coupons. I'm signed up to receive promotions and offers, but I haven't gotten one yet. I don't want to wait too long and see the % drop down again...
 
Hello all. I followed the 30% off link and used buy it now. It's been like 3-4 hours and I've gotten nothing about cash back. How long does it take?

A day or two.
 
[quote name='kylerg']Do you have to receive the coupon for it to work?[/quote]I dont think so.Coupon seems to be universal.

[quote name='jinxpalm']Hello all. I followed the 30% off link and used buy it now. It's been like 3-4 hours and I've gotten nothing about cash back. How long does it take?[/quote]Check your ebay messages for cash back.
 
And I wish I had that 10% off earlier!

Oh well, Silent Hill Homecoming $35 shipped (includes 30% off) isn't bad at all. Even better than TRU's deal, assuming they even GET the game.

Yea but it has been a while and nothing. How long before I should get an Ebay message?
 
[quote name='jinxpalm']Yea but it has been a while and nothing. How long before I should get an Ebay message?[/quote]Not long.I got mine in about five minutes.Did you see cashback banner when you made your purchase?
 
I always get my cashback notifications in the My Messages section within 24 hours, I just got one for my last purchase in under an hour.

Anyone else get the extra 10% coupon to work? I would hate to commit, and then not have the coupon work.

Only way to find out is to buy something.
 
I am getting pretty frustrated. I cannot even get the 30% off banner to appear on the Ebay page anymore. And the purchase I made earlier still have not received any messages. /sigh

I can confirm that it the 30% cashback and the 10% off coupon do indeed work together. Just remember that the 30% only works on buy it now items and must be paid for using paypal. The 10% coupon requires paypal too I believe.
 
[quote name='msdmoney']Anyone else get the extra 10% coupon to work? I would hate to commit, and then not have the coupon work.[/quote]
I used CFALLSAVINGS10P the code just appeared in ebay inbox first before being emailed to my address.Try messing with the advertising preferences in your account.
 
Got infinite undiscovery for $35.99 before 30% cashback. I figure that's low enough to try it out. The same seller is selling a few other IUs at the same price.

If someone didn't have to play a game on day one it seems like you could pretty much get every game this fall/winter at 30% off.
 
I have a quick question that I'm hoping someone can answer. I have a paypal account but at the moment I only have a credit card attached to it and not a bank account. I was wondering if I have to set up a bank account to receive the 30% back from a purchase or am I fine without it? Thanks to whoever can answer this for me.
 
i hope BUY or someone sells

Star Ocean: First Departure for around 38 before discount and the 30% still is around next week


looks like a good game for 27 shipped but never for 40
 
[quote name='Davestation']I tried to use the discount on a 360 Arcade with Sonic from a Buy auction, but the banner did not show up.... :([/quote]

You probably need to be more specific if anyone's going to be able to help you out. Did you ever see the banner appear at all (i.e. when you first got to eBay by following the link on live.com)? At what point in the process did the banner disappear from your screen?
 
Items sold from Buy won't work. They use a different checkout system if I remember correctly. I had the same thing happen a few days ago.
 
I tried using the CFALLSAVINGS10P coupon, but get an error message saying "This redemption code is linked to another Paypal account and can't be used with this PayPal account." :whistle2:(
 
[quote name='menikmati']Only way to find out is to buy something.[/QUOTE]

No you don't need to.

The code will show that it is working for ANYONE when you apply it to the checkout before you commit to the sale, but when you click continue eBay will check whether or not your email actually got the code. If you did not (like me), the transaction will not go through and you will get the message, "This redemption code is linked to another PayPal account and can't be used with this PayPal account."

Maybe some of the people saying they didn't get the email, but say they got the code to work didn't actually checkout all the way?
 
[quote name='InFlames215']I KNOW this has been asked before... but does this work with Buy It Now when "immediate payment is required"?[/quote]
I bought an iPod a few days ago that was "immediate payment required" and it worked just fine.
 
[quote name='Davestation']I tried to use the discount on a 360 Arcade with Sonic from a Buy auction, but the banner did not show up.... :([/quote]

I've been trying to take advantage of this promotion for a week, but I'm having the same problem.

I search for an item on live search...click the ebay sposored link that says 30% cash back using PayPal which takes me to the ebay site, but It never gives me a cashback banner or cashback logo at the top of the screen like it's supposed to. I spent 2 hours on ebay Live Help last night but they could not help. The customer service person even asked for the link it gave me and it worked for them when they clicked on it, but not for me.

I did a quick google and it appears this happens for some people. It just won't give me a cashback logo/banner/notification before I commit to buy EVER. kinda sucks
 
About the 10% coupon working....
I think it is a standard coupon for everyone!

CFALLSAVINGS10P

Put the code in on checkout but here is the catch, your ebay account must equal the same email account for paypal! If they do not, you can add the ebay account email address to your paypal account via the Profile tab in Paypal and then clicking on Email Address. you can add up to 5 email addresses to one account! All you have to do is click on the link in the email sent to your ebay email account!

As far as Live not working for everyone, the one thing I would try is downloading firefox and using that browser. IE for some reasons has problems keeping cookies correct in the Temporary Internet Files. Or try clearing cache, under tools --> Internet Options and click on Delete Cookies, Delete Files, and clear History Buttons!

Hopefully this works. PM if you successfully get it work!

Doesn't work.
 
[quote name='OGHowie']Doesn't work.[/QUOTE]

Ya, when I tried to use the coupon it didn't actually take the extra 10% off when my paypal account was charged.
 
Guys, if this is anything like the previous email coupons from eBay, to use that coupon you have to have gotten the email. When eBay sends out the email, they active the accounts to use it in order to prevent sharing.

That does make sense.
 
Don't bother witht he 10% coupon. If you didn't get it, IT WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU. This is like all other coupons from eBay/PayPal.
 
[quote name='Snake2715']my friend dropped his in the trash in his email... I wish I could have got it from him.[/quote]


He might still have it available; have him sign into eBay, and check for a "you have coupons available" notice at the top.
 
should i be concerned if i haven't goten the cash back pending yet on my live account? i paid my ipod touch 2 days ago with paypal, using funds from my bank. granted the echeck hasn't cleared yet, but i clicked the message in my.ebay.com and the cash back hasnt shown up yet in live.com.
 
[quote name='Paulbert7']Ya, when I tried to use the coupon it didn't actually take the extra 10% off when my paypal account was charged.[/QUOTE]

It is tricky. When you look at the payment in the Paypal overview page it shows the full price. When you click on the transaction detail, it shows the 10% adjustment. You are actually only charged the net price, but it shows the full price paid on the Paypal overview page. And yes, the deal stacked with the 30% discount for me as I was only charged the net price on Paypal and I received confirmation of the cashback from Live.
