have you guys heard about the Microsoft Live & Ebay discount? If not, the summary is that you can get 25% off your ebay purchase if you buy an item that is Buy it Now and pay with paypal. You have to wait 60 days for the 25% to come back to you, but its well worth it for some items that never go on sale. You can do this a maximum of 3 times and $250 max cashback per transaction.
The discount fluctuates daily. It's been 25% for the past couple of days.
So here's what you do:
Go to live.com and search for some product. I searched for "Macbook Pro" and got this:
Click on the "www.ebay.com Live search Cashback" link from the sponsored ads. This will activate 25% off for your next ebay purchase. You know this worked when a header of the ebay page you see a 25% off image. Like this:
Now, search for something you really want.....lik this:
on checkout:
Unfortunately, the performance steering wheel that's left on ebay right now doesn't qualify for the discount. I snagged one from an auction that did a couple days ago, but you get the idea. To maximize the discount, you'll want to spend about $1000 each time.
