eBay/paypal have completely erased him (2000+ 100% feedback), so I can't even 'see' my transaction with him anymore!

As I responded in the other thread this has happened. I believe someone stated such a case on the first page of this thread. You may still get your CashBack, but now there is a higher chance that you won't. You'll have to come back here and let us know how it goes.

A few days now after my CashBack cleared for pants I purchased on eBay, I got an email saying the store reported that I returned the item and that the CashBack has been canceled

Canceled

You returned this item on November 14, 2008.

I didn't return these pants! Can someone please tell me what I should do in terms of how to contact either eBay or CashBack or both. how annoying.

It seams to me that a lot of you were trying to get free money by doing nothing other than exploiting the system. IE buying gift cards to get CashBack.

When i was young my mother told me there is no such thing as easy money.

Are your payment for partial refund getting denied immediately or when you do the PAY ME button to get your cash out?

Thanks.

All my 3 southwest gift cards purchases, had the CashBack denied. They say it is due to item returned, which is not the case. One of the transactions, has been removed by eBay. I don't know what to do? Anybody have any experience?

The CashBack was cancelled after 30 days.

It really seams (sic) that way, doesn't it?

Actually we're keeping eBay, Paypal, and Microsoft afloat.

eBay's 3rd quarter sales (value of the merchadise sold on eBay) were DOWN significantly, even with FatherTed's $100k in forever stamps trading back and forth amongst FW and SD'ers. My family spent about $10k on eBay that we wouldn't have without the CashBack - and we normally spend only a few hundred a year on eBay at most. Were it not for this promotion eBay's sales would have been significantly lower - eBay and Paypal are losing customers at a rapid rate due to their customer-is-last policies.

One more point to ponder as well - you've all seen the lines of customers trying to get their money back from Indymac Bank. Paypal claims it isn't a bank, and therefore isn't regulated AT ALL. There is no FDIC coverage on your Paypal account. Since Paypal isn't regulated, no one really knows what they do with your money - were they buying oil @ $100 a barrel, hoping it would hit $200? Was this whole promotion a last ditch effort to keep Paypal afloat? There's been a WHOLE lot of dough passing through this bank-that-isn't-a-bank-unless-it's-convienient-for-us. Makes you wonder.

Microsoft spent millions on a search engine that NO ONE will use unless their PAID a couple hundred dollars a search. No doubt MS will be touting the "significant improvement" in utilization of the live search engine at their next stockholder's meeting - which is fine and dandy with me, as long as they honor their contract with me.

As far as what your momma told you, I hate to be the guy who tells you there is no tooth fairy, but you really ought to know that some folks work alot harder for money than others. Dick Fuld, Angelo Mozillo, Dick Cheney, and even Bill Clinton have made pretty good money for pretty lame performances.

I can't say that I always agree with it, but when in Rome.....

so far few CashBack have been denied for me.. I am trying to work with support.. all were legal transactions.

LongDongSilver said:I got shot down for $150 CashBack because the seller gave me a partial refund for minor shipping damage. I didn't return, exchange or cancel the transaction and still have the item in my possession. How do I fight this?

"Q: What happens if I return, exchange, or cancel a purchase?

A: Returns, exchanges and cancelations are subject to the store's return policy. If you return, cancel, or exchange part or all of a purchase, the store may reverse your purchase with us, and we won't be able to pay you any CashBack savings from that transaction."

It appears I have just about the same problem. I was missing a part of my order and contacted the seller. Missing part came asap, no problems. BUT along with sending the missing item, apparently seller took it upon themselves and credited me back $10.00 without my even knowing about it. I certainly never asked for any money back! Anyways I called them and even told them I didn't want the credit (I did read and fear about the returns issue), but the seller assured me it would be OK and I would have NO problems, and they were only doing it as a courtesy.
Well guess what, I have a problem. Live Searched emailed me informing me because I returned, exchanged or cancel the upadated amount to be paid apparently shows to be a big fat $0.

According to their email header charges that if "I return, exchange, or cancel a purchase...", I did none of it.

• I did not return

• I did not exchange

• I did not cancel.

Yeah, it's pretty upsetting. Did not think Microsoft would be frauding people like this. Definitely would like to find out how to fight this. But it doesn't help when Microsoft does not even let people contact them properly.
