Ordered the PS3 from Newegg, and had an issue with another order, so I live chated, and also asked (to be 110% certain) that the PS3 purchase would qualify for the PP 20% Cash Back.

According to the Newegg rep, no.

Only those specific items on the Newegg / Paypal webapge are eligible. All other purchases from the Egg are ineligible.

Maybe my rep was misinformed. Cancelled my order anyway, and offering words of CAUTION to fellow SD'ers who may purchase items not on that webpage and ultimately not receive the 20% Cash Back.

YMMV.

From the chat log:

Me: The PS3 for the PayPal 20%? Why not? What condition didn't I meet?

Alice: You only can get the promotion if you purchase the item in the website that listed.

Me: So, only those few items on that webpage are eligible for 20% PayPal discount at Newegg? And since PS3 not on that page, not eligible?

Alice: Yes, you are right. However, if you would like to keep the item, we would like to make an exception to credit you $10.00 on your order.

Hmm, I was going to pull the trigger on an xbox 360. What page are they talking about?

Hmm thats strange I order a DVD Burner that was not listed and when I went thru the paypal process after I got the review order page it showed the promotion on there did yours not say it on the review order page?

Paypal's Promo details are here, no mention of specific items:

I did complete the transaction for the headset, Razer HP-1. I did see the note on the summary showing the 20% rebate. So hopefully the rep was misinformed.

Ack me too!

look its a paypal promo, so paypal promo details apply....no mention of specific items at Newegg, in fact they mention a specific requirement for overstock, so I wouldn't be too worried, you could fight and win it, i ordered the sd1000 package, which is listed anyway on the Newegg page..but I wouldn't worry about specific items based on the paypal promo offer details page.

Likewise!

I don't see an option to pay with paypal on Newegg when I check out. How does that work?

To confirm with you guys. I called, Newegg rep said it only applies to items that are listed on promo page. No other items.
