Aparently Ebay was having some tech problems with it and disabled it temporarly.

It is still there, you just have to go through some hoops to get there. Currently 25% with a limit of 12 transactions per account.

What are the steps to get it?

<< <i>What are the steps to get it? >>



1. Go to www.live.com.
2. Type in "Wii" in the seach box.
3. Click on the first link that shows up and has "www.ebay.com" in green next to it. It will also say something along the lines of "You might save up to 25%". This link will take you directly to eBay.
4. When you arrive at ebay, make sure you have the discount displayed up toward the top right of the page, you can't miss it if its there. Now you can buy any "Buy it Now" item you can find (that accepts paypal) and you will receive the cashback on the item. When you click on the BIN tab it will take you to another page. This page will show you the cashback that you will get. IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE CASHBACK DISPLAYED. THEN YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE CASHBACK SO DON'T PROCEED UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY FULL PRICE. Please note that the maximum amount you can get back on one transaction is $200. You can only use the cashback one time per 60 minute session. You can use it for up to a total of 12 sessions.
5. You must pay for the item using paypal within the timeframe stated in the auction. You can not pay for it in payments, you have to pay for it all at once.
6. You will get a message in your ebay inbox that says you have cashback. You open this message and click on the link and it will take you to where you can setup your Microsoft Cashback account and tie your ebay and paypal to it. Microsoft has a good FAQ on how to do that, so I'm not going to waste my time or yours by typing it here.
7. The funds will become available to you on the 61st day after you paid for the item. At that time you will have choice to receive a check from Microsoft or have them make a deposit to your paypal account. If you choose deposit to your paypal account, it's not immediate, it takes about another 10-15 days or so. I can't speak as to how long a check takes, as I took the paypal option.

Please keep in mind that it's not a discount, it works in effect like a rebate, meaning that you have to pay it upfront, but it comes back later. I repeat, it is NOT an immediate discount.

Hope this helps and is easy enough to understand.
