Live Cashback thing from the Summer

[audiophile]

go to live.com
search for cheap wii
Find the ebay link and click it, should say 25% right now
ebay page opens with term searched "cheap wii"
logo should be at top of page in green/red "Microsoft Cashback %%"
Search for whatever u want in that 'session'
Auction must be BIN with paypal
before the actual commit is clicked, it should have the logo with a total beside it (25%, up to $200 max)
you'll see it in 60 days
create a cashback acct, tie paypal acct name to cashback acct, they'll transfer the cashback no fees


Ummm...

What is the cashback account? Something it walks you through?

I have a hotmail/MSN account that lets me sign/log into LIVE.COM, that's not it is it?

O.K. so I finally signed up on live.com for cashback, hit BIN on E-Bay with the cashback symbol showing on the page after reaching it through Live.com, paid through Paypal again with the cashback symbol showing on each page of the process. I see a thing that says click on my messages and from there click on get my cashback. However it shows 0 dollars pending, do I just continue to wait till that pending amount shows up in there or did something not work right? And yes, I realize they don't actually send the money to you till 60 days but should I be seeing something saying xxx$ pending?
Thanks for the help with this fellow JCFers

Finally got an e-mail from them today so it looks like it will work

Coolness. Now if what i want pops up on a decent BIN, I'll be stylin...

No one ever answered. I have a Hotmail addy and can "sign in" to live.com, is that all I need? or is there some seperate account to sign up for?

Hey Cleavo, I don't know if Hotmail works for that but I think it does. I say this because when I signed up through Live.com it had me create a Windows Live ID, I think thats what its called, and I believe I saw a button that said Already Have a Windows ID? and options to sign using I *believe* Hotmail among a couple others. If you click on Sign In when at Live.com it might ask you if you have that account already so try signing in with it and see what happens. Good luck with your E-Bay search

Yeah, I have signed in to Live.com with that hotmail/MSN email ID. It let me search and did indicate on Ebay auctions that cashback was available. I just thought maybe there was more to it.

Have to break down and try. Thanks!

Sounds like it should work for you then as thats the same thing that popped up for me. You will also see the cashback thing showing on each page of Paypal as you go through the payment process.

Well, the 25% ended at midnight pst last night. I was gonna buy an amp and was just waiting for a confirmation from the seller for a local pickup. I get his confirmation this morning. great, I search ps3 to get into ebay and no more discount, none. Bummer. Hopefully it will come back before the auction ends.

I'd bet it'll be back sometime during the week of thanksgiving. That's the biggest shopping weekend of the year.

OK, I'm dumb. I signed up for live.com today. I can't seem to find any links to ebay auctions and don't see any cashback thingys on any ebay auctions. Is it over?

[shreddermon]

It's back up this morning. 25% off Ebay.

Yup, it was back yesterday. I got my amp.
