MSN told me that if you used cashback before, you can't do it again.

I asked if I could use cashback again and was told to shove off...
Hello Rob,
Thank you for contacting Live Search cashback Customer Support! My name is George R. I will be assisting you with Service Request xxx regarding eBay cashback limits.
I understand your concern regarding the 12 cashback eligible purchase limit on eBay accounts, Rob.
The limit of 12 individual purchases that is part of eBay's terms and conditions for the Live Search cashback service found here, http://pages.ebay.com/cashbackoffer/terms.html, is per the life of each eBay account and, unfortunately, does not reset to 0 over time. At the aforementioned site you will find the information below:
Cashback Program
The Microsoft Live Search Cashback Program provides cashback for up to 12 qualifying purchases per account on www.ebay.com. The amount of cashback will be determined by eBay, specified at the time of checkout on the "purchase review page" and equal to a percentage of the sale price (excluding shipping and handling fees, insurance fees and other such fees) ("Cashback Rewards"). The maximum amount of Cashback Rewards per qualifying purchase is $200.00 USD. In addition, all Cashback Rewards (including Cashback Rewards earned in connection with purchases made on websites other than www.eBay.com) are subject to the annual $2,500.00 per person cap set forth in the Program Terms.

No, you were told that if you used cashback twelve times before, you can't do it again.

No, you were told politely to follow the rules.

At some juncture, the hassle isn't worth the logistics. For heavy users, eBay and MSN would be wise to continue to allow this benefit to those who use it. I sure don't clip coupons, practical and wise, or not. I'll let you have mine. See how easy it could be if those corporate giants weren't so greedy ?

Corporate giants being greedy? I am sure they are, but let's be fair, it is some of the users being greedy in this case.
I don't recall cashback ever saying it would reset. It was 6 initially, right? Then, it was 12. People made lots of assumptions.
What's so difficult about following guidelines set?
I'd agree with Seanq, above.......it was a polite reply...not a "shove off". I guess, without trying for added drama, it just wouldn't be as fun?
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
my gripe is that it appears MSN is going back on their word
My question is, what accounts need to be switched to continue cashbacking...just use a different ebay name (registered under the same info), a new live account, a new paypal account, what
As MSN is preparing to raise the % back to 30 again, I would like to prepare ahead of time.
Do we know this for sure?

I see greed in this thread, and it ain't on the corporate side.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

I don't know what u were looking at, but the criteria that eBay had, has, never indicated 12 per calendar year, just 12 per account.
<< <i>I have trouble accepting this logic of 12 per account. Why would they implement such a silly rule, when most people have at least 2 or 3 ebay accounts. There must be more to it than that >>
I for one, do not know of anyone, including myself, that has more than 1 account. I'm sure the 12 per account limitation is there to limit "flipping."

Rob, I love ya man, but, what you find "silly" may not be "silly" to others.
I don't think "most" people have more than 1 ebay account. I don't and I think a lot of folks don't who are casual users.
Aside from some folks on these boards, I don't know anyone in real life who has more than 1 ebay account. Granted, not a huge number to go by, but still, I think it gets the point across.
Sometimes people read into something what they want to see and then get upset when it isn't what they wanted.
Cashback is what it is. You either play the game the way it is, or you don't play. If you don't like it, you have a chance to go make your own game (kind of like what you did in your sigline about your 25% cashback ). I don't think you would like it if someone tried to tell you how to do it, right? So, play what you are dealt. You used your cards already and if they reset, then cool. If not, why be bitter?

I made a new account after using up the 12 on my original eBay account.
I had to use a different email addy and a new eBay account name. I linked the new account to the same paypal account as my original eBay account. And it is linked to the same live.com account.
I have used ms cashback 10 times on my new account without any issues.
The main thing in my opinion that Msn cares about is that you do not violate the $2500.00 a year limit.
I think eBay stopped at 12 using the logic that if you max out each purchase with the cb limit then after 12 you would have reached the $2500 cap.
