Your participation in Live Search CashBack (the “Program”) on www.eBay.com is subject to the Microsoft Service Agreement terms at http://tou.live.com (the “Program Terms”) and conditions plus the additional terms and conditions below. In the event of a conflict between these additional terms and the Program Terms, the terms below are controlling for your participation in the Program on www.eBay.com.
Additional Purchase Requirements. Your ability to earn CashBack rewards (“CashBack Rewards”) from Microsoft for purchases on www.eBay.com is subject to the following additional requirements:


You must successfully complete an eligible purchase on www.eBay.com using “Buy-It-Now” within sixty (60) minutes of clicking on an eBay paid search advertisement marked with the Live Search CashBack logo (a “Online Session”);
CashBack Rewards will be applied only to the first eligible item you commit to buy during an Online Session. CashBack Rewards will not be applied to any additional items or purchases. A single listing with multiple items will be considered one item for the purposes of these terms and conditions.
You must pay for the eligible item using your PayPal account within the shorter of thirty (30) days of completing the purchase on www.eBay.com and the time frame specified by the seller;
Only purchases that are completed on www.eBay.com during an Online Session in accordance with the Program Terms as modified by these additional terms are eligible for CashBack Rewards. The following purchases that are completed on www.eBay.com are not eligible for CashBack Rewards (“Excluded eBay Purchases”):


purchases that are completed on www.express.eBay.com or www.half.eBay.com;
purchases of automobiles or other vehicles;
purchases of real estate;
purchases that are completed using a third party checkout system.

If you attempt to complete any of the above Excluded eBay Purchases on www.eBay.com during an Online Session, eBay will notify you on the purchase review page of the “Buy-It-Now” transaction process that the purchase is not eligible. Please review the purchase review page carefully before you “commit to Buy”. eBay may add or remove types of purchases to the list of Excluded eBay Purchases in its sole discretion from time to time. Please review these terms and conditions before you complete a purchase.


eBay does not limit purchases eligible for CashBack Rewards by the purpose for which they are acquired (e.g., purchases acquired for resale). The CashBack Rewards that you are eligible to obtain from Microsoft will be disclosed to you on www.eBay.com and will be equal to a percentage of the final sale price of the first item purchased during an Online Session (excluding shipping and handling fees, insurance fees and other such fees), for up to a maximum of $250.00 per Online Session. CashBack Rewards will be available in your Program account to transfer to your PayPal account approximately sixty (60) days of the date on which you complete your purchase on eBay.com. You must have a PayPal account in order to receive CashBack Rewards for purchases on www.eBay.com. You may not redeem any CashBack Rewards until you have earned a total of $5.00 in CashBack Rewards;
After you complete an eligible purchase, before redeeming your CashBack Rewards, you must go to http://cashbackaccount.search.live.com/CashBack/welcome.aspx and set up a Program account by providing all of the required information (or, if you already have an account, confirm your membership status);
You may receive CashBack Rewards for up to a maximum of three (3) Online Sessions per account on www.eBay.com. Once you have completed three (3) Online Sessions under any eBay.com account, you will no longer be eligible to receive CashBack Rewards for purchases made under such eBay.com account. If you have exceeded the limit of permitted CashBack Rewards, eBay will notify you on the purchase review page of the “Buy-It-Now” transaction process. Please review the purchase review page carefully before you “commit to buy”. CashBack Rewards can not be transferred or applied to multiple eBay.com accounts;
The Program is open only to confirmed registered members of the eBay Site who (a) are legal residents of the United States, (b) are eighteen (18) years of age or older and (c) satisfy the requirements set forth herein and in the Program Terms;
You will not be eligible for CashBack Rewards for purchases on www.eBay.com if your account on www.eBay.com or www.PayPal.com is not in good standing. In order for your accounts to be deemed in good standing, you must not have a hold on either of your accounts and your accounts must not be suspended or past due when you pay for the item(s) you purchase;
eBay may permit you to combine CashBack Rewards with other eBay promotions, coupons, or gift certificates (each, an “eBay Promotion”) and may permit you to receive CashBack Rewards on purchases of gift cards or gift certificates. If eBay elects to do so, you will be provided with an opportunity to combine Cash Back Rewards with the eBay Promotion during the checkout flow on www.eBay.com. With the exception of eBay Promotions as described herein, CashBack Rewards cannot be combined with any other offer on purchases on www.eBay.com.
eBay provides Microsoft with limited information about your eligible purchase (such as the date, time, amount, and item description) when you apply for a CashBack Reward. Microsoft will use this information only to process and manage your CashBack Rewards, and not for any other purpose.


Additional Redemption Requirements. In addition to the redemption requirements in Program Terms, You must redeem CashBack Rewards obtained as a result of a purchase on www.eBay.com exclusively via your PayPal account.

/edit/ Sorry for posting the whole thing, but wanted a C&P of it in case eBay/M$ change the T&C later...

And OP, this looks potentially very hot! Green!

The important term to eBay and Paypal are...

This pretty much said if you don't get any CashBack, you can't do anything to eBay and Paypal. Go ask Microsoft. So trust the Microsoft term and condition since it has the final says instead of this.

zindagi said:I bought one Gift card, then I saw I message in "My messages" indicating to claim my CashBack.

Same here...I set up the account but am yet to see any money pending yet.

oh well, i give up. doesn't work for me. i cleared cookies, i tried different browsers, etc. tried different buy it now items ranging from electronics to houseld items, don't see any discounts..

you guys are lucky.

I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I already have a live account, signed in, did a search and no results came up relative to eBay, yet the item is on eBay with a BIN/immediate payment option.

then i searched for their participating stores and eBay doesnt show up for me. i tried a million variations for searching for the router i want and none point to eBay at all.

It's not pending yet because eBay has to communicate the fact that something was actually purchased. I think I read it would take up to 7 days for something to appear as pending. Then, another 60 days from the time it appears in your account.

solarspin said:. I was able to get through and see the Cash Back notation on a $630 laptop. It said $222 CashBack thru MS.

. So let me get this right.

1. I buy the $630 laptop BuyNow on eBay with Paypal if I see the CashBack logo

2. MS puts $222 into my Paypal account in 60 days.

3. I withdraw the $222.

4 laptop cost me $408 ???

Is this right?? That seems too good.

i think that's pretty much it. just one thing to add - to get the CashBack logo to appear, you have to click on an add off of live.com. i see eBay's ads showing up everywhere

example: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=m%26m+dispenser&form=QBLH

has anyone seen an expiration date for this?

Just got an HD Sony Camcorder for $680 shipped after the $250 comes back. It is the SR11 model.

How long does it take to get the Cash Back message in "My Messages" on eBay?

MISTERCHEAP said:every single Loews and Home Depot Gift Card on BIN $400 and up is gone! LOL

And they will probably all be back up in the next 60 days for one reason or another.

Well I purchased a set of Lasergrips for my S&W...$75+ Cash Back sure would be nice. After completing all the steps, taking screen shots, paying via Paypal and registering through the message in "My Messages" I noticed this.

After each purchase you make, the Store you purchase from will send us your purchase information which we will use to process your CashBack.

Who is forcing the store or seller to send MS this info?
