For those who wants to protect all those expensive toys you've accumulated over the last few weeks.

Isobar HTPOWERBAR10 Surge Suppressor

Price is reduced to $99.95 (was over $100 yesterday-don't remember exactly how much) plus it has the Paypal instant rebate (coincidentally also $15) and on the Paypal payment screen it says "This transaction is eligible for 15 USD Cash Back on purchases of 75 USD or more.". So if all works out it comes to:

99.95
-15.00 instant Paypal
=84.95 what you pay now
-15.00 Paypal $15 off $75
=69.95 (less if FW/eBates/Live CB works)

Also no taxes and free shipping.

can you put 2 orders with >$75 amount each and get 2 X $15=$30?

The $15 arrives by January 31, 2009.

T&C

Receive $15 Cash Back on purchases of $75 or more, excluding tax and shipping ("Offer"). Offer applies to transactions at www.Buy.com when you use PayPal as the payment method. Offer valid on December 19, 2008 and only as long as the Buy.com website indicates that the $15 Cash Back promotion is available. The maximum amount of Cash Back per PayPal account is $30.00. To receive this Offer, you must use a U.S. PayPal account in good standing. The Cash Back will be deposited into your PayPal account by January 31, 2009.

I think he/she means order confirmation. I placed an order about 30 mins ago too and no confirmation email (from Buy.com) and no transaction at paypal so ??? ah well patience.

If you didn't sign into your Buy.com account, you will not get the confirmation. I ordered the Lacie external harddrive with PayPal express payment without signing in first. I got a notice later in the day showing that it was shipped by FedEx. That's pretty fast. However, the monitor I ordered yesterday is still being processed.

The PayPal promotion has now ended

That's what OP's link says now. Also, I noticed the $15 savings notation is gone from the Paypal button when viewing an item.

I think it's dead. I thought it was for the entire day. Came home from work and logged in to purchase the HDD and found out the promotion is over... oh well, may be will wait till the next promotion / deal ... didn't really need the HDD...

The recent paypal promos have all been "while funds last".

Yes

Has anyone actually gotten the $15 credit in their PayPal account yet or at least some indication from PayPal that they will? Thanks!

In case you didnt read the fine print.

"The Cash Back will be deposited into your PayPal account by January 31, 2009."

Thats over a month youll need to wait...

There is no record of the $15 off that you can see via emailed order confirmation.
I asked Buy.com immediately and while waiting for their response the order shipped the next day.
Three days later, Buy.com passes the buck and says they had nothing to do with $15 off so go talk to PayPal.

I called PayPal customer service and they can see the order was paid via PayPal but have no record of who is suppose to give the $15 off.

PayPal claims that maybe Buy.com will give the CashBack. I restated that as far as Buy.com is concerned they have washed their
hands off this deal and it is up to PayPal to give me the $15 off from my $120 purchase.

PayPal will not give the $15 off and instead..... put a note on my account and that I have to call back one month later to ask for the $15 credit.

Slick! Just like a rebate clearing house that will find bogus reasons to deny your claim or let you slide and forget about it.

Beware..and be warned.
