Do you eBay?

Microsoft is giving away money! They want you to use live.com's search service so they partnered with eBay so that for certain products/keywords you search on live.com, you'll find links to eBay that offer some cashback. Here’s what you have to do. 

First, make a Live cashback account (click here to create a new account). In order to make everything a lot simpler, make sure you create the account using the same email address that you use for your eBay/PayPal account.

Next, go shopping! Go to www.live.com (type it directly into the browser yourself) and search the item you're looking for – I'm going to search for PS3.



One of the sponsored links at the top will be a link for www.ebay.com. You'll see “... You may get 25% off with PayPal if eligible.”Click on that link and you will be taken to eBay. Once you are there, make sure you see this logo at the top:



Find the item you want to buy – it has to be a BUY IT NOW item that accepts PayPal. Buy the item as usual, making sure that you can see the “Microsoft Cashback” logo the all the way through your buying process. 

Keep in the mind the following: make sure that the seller doesn't use an alternative checkout process and make sure that from the time you click on the live.com ebay link to clicking the BUY IT NOW button, no more than 1 hour passes. There are a few other rules, but nothing out of the ordinary (all of the rules are here). You can do this a total of 12 times and the cashback limit is $200 for each purchase! 

After you complete your purchase and pay through PayPal, you will get an email from Microsoft Live letting you know that you earned your cashback. It will either be pending and then sent to your PayPal account after 60 days or sometimes, you will receive an instant cashback!
