Just letting everybody know about a pretty cool deal through Live.com! If you need to buy anything off Ebay and you have been putting it off, you might want to consider doing it now while you can get 30% off.
My son's birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks and I needed to buy some stuff for him so I finally took an advantage of it now, plus some stuff I have been wanting forever =) This is what I have bought so far:
Lego Star Wars PS3
Lego Batman PS3
New ac adapter for my laptop
Betty Crocker's 100 piece cake decorating kit (be wanting FOREVER!)
Foodsaver 2840 machine
All of this stuff was brand new and I paid 250$ for it through Paypal, BUT in 60 days I will getting back about 70$ through Live.com back to my Paypal account which makes everything I got about 180$ and that is including shipping! Not the best deal I know, but considering the PS3 games were 50$ a piece and the Foodsaver is 150$ retail, I think I did pretty good!
All you have to do is go to Live.com and type in "cheap wii" in the search box. The next page will bring up a bunch of search results, right above them you should see a banner that says something along the lines of "Buy Wii cheap! You may get 30% cashback if Paypal eligible" and it will have a Ebay web address. Click that and them just search for whatever you want to buy, but it has to be a buy it now auction to get the cashback. Click on buy it now and on the confirm page you will see a banner towards the bottom that says how much cashback you will get if you buy it. That's how you know you will get cashback, if you don't see this banner then you won't get any cashback. Buy your item and wait a few minutes and check your Ebay messages and click on the "You earned cashback" and follow the directions!
You have to click on the banner on the Live.com search page to actually get in on the cashback, if you don't do this you won't see any cashback offers.
I hope this helped somebody! Don't wait too long because the 30% cashback is a huge special, it is usually only 8%!

Hi- I read this and decided to order two items. Will you tell me if you think I did it right? I ordered one item and later in the afternoon it said I was eligible for $3 cash back. I followed the directions but it did not say the money was coming my way.I use hotmail for email, so I already have the account, I think.I decided to buy another item so that I could at least have the $5 cash back. I am still waiting for a message about the second purchase. I understand that even if I get it, it will be 60 days or so. I am worried about losing track of that.

Ok for your first question, as long as you clicked on the "You earned cashback" email in your ebay account, it should have taken you to your live.com account or prompted you to sign up for one. If you did that, and you are in your account, you will see something that says "cashback pending, available, etc, etc." You won't see your cashback as pending for about 24 hours atleast. It will still say 0$ and that's ok, all of my orders I placed yesterday didn't show up as pending untill this morning, so I guess it's about 12-24 hours. I hope that is what you were talking about.
Your second question, sometimes it can take a bit for the message to actually show up in your ebay messages, as long as you saw the cashback banner saying how much cashback you would get on the confirm page of the item you were buying then you are fine. I had to actually go through the banner on live.com on each purchase I made because after I made a purchase the next item wouldn't show any cashback untill I clicked through the banner again.
And yes, it should take about 60 days to actually be able to get the cashback back into your Paypal account. I know it's a long time but maybe just count 60 days from today and mark something down on your calendar =)
Hope this helps =)
