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.
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 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?
I have been getting ready to place several orders, AMD CPU, Memory, Razer Headset. IF this is true, I will be extremely pissed. The web page I saw that mentioned the sale did not specify that. They should make it clear that only certain items are eligible.
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.
At the payment confirmation page when paying with paypal there is a line specifically saying Promotion: 20% CashBack via paypal or something like that.
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.
If that is true, that would be so extremely lame on Neweggs part. It was also be totally misleading advertising. And what would it matter to Newegg if Paypal is the one paying it?
One thing I noticed already is that Newegg is in the process of jacking up prices. A printer I was going to buy for $179 suddenly jacks up to $199 while in my cart.
I'm confident that the 20% will work with ANY Newegg purchase from today through Wednesday. The terms & conditions mention nothing about having to purchase specific products. I feel that the Newegg CSR that the OP spoke to was wrong about the PS3 not being eligible.
