Get 25%(now 8%) Cashback On eBay Purchases Through Live.com
That’s right, it sounds to good to be true, but it isn’t. Microsoft has been pushing this unique advertising ploy off and on for months now and people have been saving a ton on online purchases mainly through eBay. Here’s how to take advantage.
First sign up for a Windows Live cashback account and then all you have to do is search for a product of your choice at Microsofts’ Live.com. At the top of the search there will usually be an eBay link that says Live Search Cashback in gold next too it. Just click the link and complete any Buy It Now purchase and save 25% up to $200 dollars. This is for US searchers only.
The only small glitch is that the cashback will only be available 60 days after completing the purchase when it is deposited into a paypal.com account. I have used this with success this Christmas.
They are also two other ways to save you money :
- Smaller cash back percentages on a host of other stores(Gap, Foot Locker, Barnes and Nobles, …), just check out the Cash back home for more information.
- Search Perks(Internet Explorer required), which is a limited user free points for searching program that lets you buy items with those points.
Microsoft’s willingness to compete with Google and Yahoo could in in huge savings for the masses.
For more information on the eBay cashback check out the Buy now on eBay for 25% cashback post(now 8%) on the Window Live Search blog.

Well, it’s good to see that MS is also taking part in the global savings race.
Wow, I had no idea about this… Thanks for sharing – I am a fairly big ebayer so this will be very helpful!
wow thank you very much for this information. I would certainly enjoy such a cash back! I think I’ll start fallowing your blog
When something crazy happens, you can depend on quick loans to get you out of a jam. For instance, if you were kayaking or kiteboarding out in the ocean, and a whale decides to flog you with it’s tail, sending you careening through the air, crashing down into the surf, sand, and rocks close to shore, crushing your pusillanimous little body like an empty soda can, rending your skin and extremities like confetti, and in an even worse gesture, leaving you alive to suffer from the extreme insult of these wounds. Some people have a tree crash through their roof that got blown down in a windstorm. Insurance will get to you in a few days, but you might need to get quick loans to pay the deductable and put the family up in a hotel for a few nights.
This sounds to good to be true, indeed. I’m always using ebay and I think I’m going to love the cash back.
It seems like its down to 8% for ebay now. Anyone else see the same?
@Scott – You are right. It has gone up and down over the months. I did just purchase two things at 8% today though and the credits went through just fine.
The max cash back is $200. Searching for stuff, it seems like it only works for items that sell for under ~$675 as anything over that price makes the cash back over $200 and it won’t give you any discount.
