Thanks for the heads up! 6 more to go!

UtahCoin · October 15, 2008 2:31AM

Is that 12 per year, or 12 period?

Placid · October 15, 2008 2:39AM

<< Is that 12 per year, or 12 period? >>

It dosent say anything about a time frame so I guess 12 period for now.

rgCoinGuy · October 15, 2008 2:43AM

Great! 6 more again! Thanks for the heads up!

Placid · October 15, 2008 12:00PM

derryb · October 15, 2008 12:17PM

Placid · October 15, 2008 12:20PM

I've been trying to figure out this cash back thing for a week and can't get it. What am I doing wrong? I've got a live.com account and tied my paypal email address to it. I have paypal and ebay and can't get it to ever show anything from ebay available or any logo on live.com that says the logo's it's suppose to. I found a seller who tried to help me, but I can't get it to work. Any clues?

rgCoinGuy · October 15, 2008 9:39PM

Frostbyte, try going Here

He shows step by step illustrated instructions. Good luck!

30% did not work for me ... but the 20% did. I suspect it is now down to 20%

airplanenut · October 15, 2008 10:08PM

Is there any way this can be used in an auction? Nothing I want with a BIN

agentjim007 · October 15, 2008 11:00PM

30% did not work for me ... but the 20% did. I suspect it is now down to 20%

go to live.com and search Gold Buffalo it still comes up 30%

Ebay gave me a 10% coupon code today. . Says that it can't be combined with other coupons, but is the MSN cashback a coupon? Imagine 40% off...I am-- but would it work I wonder

I used a eBay coupon with msn cashback a few months ago.
It worked then.
I got paid by msn for it no problem and both the coupon and the msn cashback amount was from the total sale amount.

This is from the eBay terms for cashback.

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;

commoncents123 · October 16, 2008 2:01AM

awesome....40% off baby!

pines · October 16, 2008 2:15AM

OK so I got a live account and followed all the links to set it up. I used live search and I then made a purchase on Ebay that showed the cashback and paid with PayPal.
I got a message from Ebay that said congrats you earned cashback and clicked on the buttton that led me to my live account, signed in, still nothing. My question is this does not show up on my live account even as pending, those of you that have more experience...how long does it usually take?
Thanks much!

Usually within 24hrs but can take up to a few days.

pines · October 16, 2008 2:25AM

Placid
thanks for the reply. Its been 24 hours. While I followed the steps to set up it made me worry when it didn't show up.
I will relax and see what happens.
Thanks again!

I finally got my computer to register that I was eligible and bought a nice Washington Spouse for $539. Then supposedly $106 cashback! I'm not complaining.
My question is how long do I have to wait to start a new session and get another purchase? Wasn't there something about having to wait a certain period of time between purchases?

Just close that window and open another one.

frostbyte · October 16, 2008 6:22AM

The first time I bought it showed the logo at the buy it now page. I closed all the windows and logged back into live and searched again and everything looked to be working until I click buy it now on any item. Nothing shows the logo there. Before it would even tell me if it was not eligible. Am I doing something wrong?

If the seller is using activa checkout, it does not qualify, I don't think it always tells you it doesn't qualify, just be sure before you complete the transaction on the confirmation page it tells you it does and has the amount you are getting back listed.

You need to clear your cachey. Only one transaction per live search.....

frostbyte · October 16, 2008 6:28AM

Is clearing the cache the same as deleting browser history?

Frostbite, just close ALL Explorer (your browser) windows completely out after your cashaback purchase and reopen and start all over.
each time after you log into your cashback account you have to get to ebay using "live search." such as in the link below:
cashback search

The whole purpose of the promotion is to get people to use their search engine.

All you need are these pages (I saved them and can get to them with a single click):
cashback sign in
cashback search

With the pages saved, I was able to make 6 cashback ebay purchases within 20 minutes.

Once you get to ebay with the "cashback search" link, the cashback logo will show up at the top of the page (with the current percentage off). You are now free to move around in ebay doing various searches. Items purchased must be a buy it now, so limit your searches to buy it now. Purchase must be made within 60 minutes of the first search. If you wait too long, or you are ready to make another purchase, just close all your browsers and start over. After your first purchase you will get an ebay email that you must open and follow instructions to get the cash back credit to your MSN cashback account. Current limits on the cashback are:
12 per ebay account
30% cashback with max $200 cash back per purchase
$2500 cashback limit per year

I have been able to buy more than one of the same item at the same time from the same seller and get the cashback. If a seller has 10 of what you want and they are only $100 each, you can type in "quantity 10" and cashback treats it as a single purchase. Just remember you are limited to a max of $200 cashback per purchase. Using the current percentage they offer you have to calculate the ideal total price to maximize your cashback.

You have to make the ebay purchase thru paypal (credit cards through paypal worked for me). You will know everything is cool cause you'll keep seeing the cashback logo right up till you make the payment.
