thanks.

Yes, go to Bing, type in your search and when the results come up, look for the listing with the Ebay link. Click on that link and Ebay should open for you and at the top of the page should be a Microsoft logo saying you can save up to X% on your purchase. You have to use it on BIN's only and pay with Paypal. Some folks have gotten instant cash back, I have always had to wait the full 60 days. It places a cookie on your computer that last like 30-60 minutes so you can leave the page and come back and the logo should still be there. I use Big Crumbs too as well as the Bing. I might as well get as much cash back as possible.

And remember... you only get 20 eBay / Bing transactions per year... so use wisely! Don't go blowing through all 20 of your alloted usages on $5-10 cards!

I've used it 9 times so far since I signed up in May and have gotten back $283.53! Be sure to sign up for Quick Cashback Program before ever making your first transaction. It is under "Settings" in your Cashback Account page. With the exception of my very first transaction (which I had to wait the full 60 days), all my Bing payments have come instantly.

Okay...stupid question. If I already had MS live do I need to resign up for Bing?

<< <i>Okay...stupid question. If I already had MS live do I need to resign up for Bing? >>

MS Live or MS Live Cashback?

You don't have to sign up again for Bing itself, but if you've never been in their Cashback program you do have to sign up for that seperately... but it just registers to your existing account.

I thought it was only 12 purchases in a year?

From the eBay Terms for Microsoft Bing Cashback Rewards...

Cashback Program
The Microsoft Bing Cashback Program provides cashback for up to 20 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.

PS - It's 10% TODAY!!!!!

Is this working this morning? When I log into Bing and then go to Ebay, the cashback symbol is not there like it was yesterday.

Can you use Bing cashback only on Buy It Nows, or does it work for Best Offers also?

Thanks

Only on Buy It Now listings. On occassion, I have emailed the sellers my offered and asked them if they would accept... that I would make the purchase if they changed the Buy It Now price to my offer price so I could use Bing. Never had one say no to that, after all, they still get the same cash regardless.
