Live Search Cashback here to stay?

Don't think MSFT Live Cashback will be going away any time soon. They and eBay seem very happy with the results so far to date. I hope they continue to offer me money to use their search engine only when I want to buy an expensive card on eBay. That sure works for me.

Now, if only the market would come back so I could buy more cards. :-(

    I guess I just screwed up that up, Bought the card at the sellers counteroffer thinking I would see a cashback symbol somewhere along the way, but never did, paid full price. Oh well, I was going to get it anyways.

    To get the discount, it must be the original BIN price, which sucks.

    Just agree with the buyer beforehand on the price and have him/her bring down the buy it now price. To him, it's still a best offer. For you, however, you get an extra 25% or so off your best offer.

    I've noticed it works on second chance offers as well.

    Go to www.live.com and type Wii in the search field...it should appear as 25% off through eBay.

    I can't get it either. There is a sweet Mantle I would pull the trigger on if I could get it to come up.

    all I got was some 8% cashback offers on wii through other stores. I've typed in all sorts of things and haven't gotten the ebay link yet. I've used the ebay cashback for 8 things now and have almost $1000 coming soon.

    thanks, the "ebay iphone" worked but for some reason not "iphone ebay"

    It's so worth the effort. I have a buddy who's doing some home improvement, and he's been buying $500 Home Depot Gift Cards and getting 25% cashback on all of them! That rocks...

    I've only used it once, on some tires. I hope this lasts for a long time!

    To make a long story short, you go to live.com, search for pretty much anything, and you SHOULD see a sponsor link at the top of the screen saying something like "Earn 25% Cashback on ebay". Click that, and you have an hour to buy something using Buy It Now, and you'll earn 25% Cashback. It takes 60 days for your Cashback to be available to you. You'll need a Microsoft Live account.

    Was that short?

    Use this link to get the ebay 25% off. Click on the link for ebay in the "Sponsored sites" at the top and then search away on ebay.

    Here is an interesting occurance that worked with the MS Cashback offer. I bid on a card a couple weeks ago in a straight auction and lost the card to a last minute snipe. Well I get a second chance offer today with a BIN price for what my bid was in this straight auction. I wanted to know if I could get cashback, so I signed in, made the purchase and indeed got the discount on the card. Not only did I get the card at a great price, but with cashback, it was a steal. 1994 Arod PSA 9 Leaf ----$375.00~!!!!!!
