The MSFT 25% CashBack Seems to Work

A show or two ago, I mentioned using the Microsoft Live.com CashBack program to get 25% off a Buy-It-Now purchase from eBay. It seems to have worked. If you are buying an expensive item from eBay, definitely look into this program.

Here’s a quick synopsis of the steps to take:
  • You need a Live.com account, an eBay account, and a PayPal account.
  • Find something on eBay with Buy It Now. Copy its ID number.
  • Do a search on live.com for an item that results in a link to eBay. (“1 oz gold coin” works for me)
  • Click the link to go to eBay and you’ll see the CashBack logo. Paste in the ID number for your item
  • Buy it Now.
  • Save 25% up to $200 per item and up to $2500 per year. You get the money in about 60 days they say. Sometimes, you get it instantly (I think from qualified sellers)
As always, do your own research about this program before going off and using it. But if you see that it works for you, wow, save $200 on something that costs $800 sounds pretty good.
