Does anyone know where the live rebate money is coming from?

I mean is that going to amount to a
one time charge for Microsoft or Ebay
in order to allow EBays revenues to be
artifically inflated?
Just a thought for our financial gurus to ponder
or explain to the less knowledgable, like me.

There is a HUGE amount set aside for the search/live campaign, I believe. This is most likely some of that.
I am not 100% certain, but I seem to recall something like that being out in the news around that time.
Seems a lot of people are all twisted over this (from the different threads over the last few months) and I really don't understand why......
If I buy a hard drive, or TV, with a rebate (instant or send in), I really don't ask "where is this coming from" as long as I get my money.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Now having a loss leader is one thing but giving actual $$$ to the tune of hundreds of dollars seems very strange.
I can only conclude the following.............Both Ebay and Microsoft are desperate.
Ebay for listings and sales/microsoft to increase searches.

How bout Joe Public milking two cash cows?
Bottom line MSN/EBAY fronts you the cash back and eventualy you will spend the money on another coin/item and it's a win/win for both companies and even the buyer/sellers. Yee Haw I think I got one right.
(YAHA) Like Mr Magoo always said. Oh MAgoo you done it again.
and it seems to have worked
I'm doing it again.

I don't get why people have that negative attitude. I doubt either one will try to screw you out of it. If there is a violation of the "fine print" then there isn't much to do about it after the fact. For those that did it "by the book", it all seems to be working.
I did 2 of them and got mine back with no issues (this was a few months ago). Haven't seen anything I wanted at the prices lately, so I haven't used it.

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

If my rebate (or the lack thereof) is any indicator, I'd say the money is coming by slow courier from somewhere like Planet Znutar in a far distant galaxy.
WHO IS GOING TO BAILOUT THE ONE NEEDING BAILING OUT MOST?
National DEBT! When "whomever" (Gee, I wonder Whom THAT might be)
wants THEIR MONEY and the United States cannot PAY - WHAT YA SUPPOSE
IS GOING TO HAPPEN THEN!??
Chew on THAT for a while!

With mail in rebates, most who offer it in that form know that a lot of the folks who buy the product won't get around to sending it in. I suppose this is different. What criteria do eBay/Microsoft use for deciding which listing to offer it on?

By the time I remembered, I had long lost the paperwork. I was happy enough with the price of the laptop anyway, but that's pretty stupid/lazy to just throw away fifty bucks like that, I know.
It just goes to show you, though- that's true. Lots of folks just don't feel like jumping through the hoops to claim a rebate.
I'd rather have my discount up front. Most folks would agree.

My last 2 rebates were immediately deposited into my paypal acct.
Go for it my forum friends, it doesn't bite.
It just has to be a buy it now.
