True. I'm already up to a total of $1330.41 in cash back since this promotion started.

 

[bonedaddy77]

OK..so I used my wife's ebay account to buy a Hellboy PF and now I FINALLY get some instant cash back. Sweet.

I think it is limited to US only - sorry.

darnit! the official comment was it was going to be introduced to the UK next. but so far no movement on that front.

I've gotten a couple of instant cashback payments on live.com/BIN purchases today.
Perhaps part of Black Friday? Discount today is at 30% too.

 

[icruise]

It's going to be really hard to go back to paying normal prices after all of this.

 

[yodasan]

Yes, although sometimes I wonder if people, myself included, are getting carried
away and disregarding possibly better deals with regular, non-BIN auctions.

 

[icruise]

Well, for most the stuff I have been buying, the non-BIN auctions often start so high that you're not missing out on anything. But it's certainly worth checking out the other options, especially now that so many people are fixated on BINs.

 

[bonedaddy77]

live.com discount was 30% and right now it's back to 25%. I just picked up a Princess Leia Exclusive PF with BIN of $160 and got $40 back instantly.

Does cashback work with Buy Now Items with more than 1 quantity? I noticed that the amount of discount shows up for items that have only 1 qty for sale, and items with 2 or more will not show the actual amount cashback.

Some of those items have better prices than the items sold 1 at a time, has anyone tried? These are all buy now items I am referring to.

Also if the seller readjusts the price on the invoice will it affect cashback?

Thanks.

Showing 15% right now. Also showed up with buy it now with qty of more than one.

Thanks Dwing.

8% ...........

 

[icruise]

Ugh. It seems ungrateful to turn up one's nose at a discount, but... Ugh.

I thought I'd share this link to you guys. This shows the current cashback rate and the number of items eligible for cashback, and the site is automatically updated.

well this sucks...i finally found something i wanted to use the live.com discount on and now the cashback amount is at 0% off, which makes no sense but not much i can do about that.

Edit: nevermind, now i understand. so why was it disabled for ebay now? anyone know?

There are two rumors out there. One, that it's off just during the holidays, and two that ebay will no longer have it. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Darth Madden]

Well, I haven't seen this come back yet so I guess it wasn't just off for the holidays. Looks like its off for good on ebay.
