Check this out! Ebay cashback! 30%!
 
I just found this on another forum and fuck me is it a deal.

Apparently if you use live.com to find something that's listed on ebay and use the "Buy it now" option and pay with Paypal, you get 30% off!

Make sure you type live.com in, don't just click a link. Then search for what it is you want and look for a ebay ad.

I was looking into Cobb Accessports online as a gift, now I might be able to get one at this price!! Below is the summary it gave me after I clicked buy it now. $185 CASH BACK! FUCK YES!!


Item title: Cobb AccessPORT 05-06 Subaru Legacy GT - AP-SUB-002

Buy It Now price: US $619.00

Sales Tax: 8.375% (only in NY)

Shipping and handling: Free -- Standard Flat Rate Shipping Service. Additional services available.

Shipping insurance: US $8.40(Optional)
Payment methods: PayPal, Money order/Cashiers check, Visa/MasterCard, American Express, Discover.

US $185.70
You must pay with PayPal to get your Microsoft cashback
This item is eligible for cashback, but this seller doesn't use eBay checkout. Since you won't be completing your purchase on eBay, it's very important that you remember to pay with PayPal.

If you use another payment method, you won't be eligible for cashback. See conditions.


I hope this comes in handy for all you guys!! :bigtu:

If you're buying a 360 off ebay be very careful if it is a used one. There was a recent Microsoft X360 Live ban wave of modded consolles and people started offloading those on ebay. If you get such console and it is tagged by Microsoft as a pirate instrument you won't be able to connect it to Live and update it.

Awesome dude! Glad you got your 360 and saved some cash. Did it do it instantly for you, or did it say you'll have to wait 60 days?

This is why I started a thread on it last night. I'm leary of ebay clutches, although still ACT brand. Read a thread on it last night about how a batch of Ebay ACT HD + street disc made a screeching sound...indefinitely.

kotomile 11-29-2008 03:28 PM

Also, not nearly as exciting, but the code "IMBLACK" is good for 30% off at tshirthell.com right now.

yeah i mean its ACT, a name you can trust. If the street disk is making noise then ill probably replace it. what can you do, i still got a clutch for dirt cheap that will most likely be AMAZING.

I found this one: Use coupon code CHOLIDAYNOV2008 on eBay and get 10% off - up to $100. Seller must accept PayPal. You must pay with PayPal. Make sure the email address on your eBay account is also on your PayPal account.
I tried it as far as the purchase confirmation page, gave me $37 off an xBox 360 Elite as well as $110.99 off with the Live 30% off deal for a total of $147.99.

Only if you got a email from ebay giving you the 10% off code will it work. I got some awhile back, but they must be expired. I tried it on the Perrin exhaust I bought tonight but it didn't work.

TonyV 11-30-2008 10:34 AM

spent a while searching every possible term i could think of for a HD roll bar to no luck...I did contact a seller bout some ground controls tho...wanna see if i can still pick my own spring rates

Vashthestampede 11-30-2008 12:07 PM

So far everything I've searched for I found, but most of what I was looking for was pretty common on ebay anyway. Keep checking for a rollbar, I see them pop up every so often.

Rotor, what I meant was the only way the 10% coupon works, is if ebay has recently sent you the code to use it. Some people might be able to punch it in and have it work, but only those that have a current offer from ebay. For me, it didn't work, only the 30% off works for everyone. In anycase thats fucking dope, 40% BIN items if it works for you.

I have been between longboarding and on the computer buying shit for the last 2 days. I'm slooowlly running out of cash. lol :eek5:

Vash-

RotorNutFD3S 11-30-2008 12:32 PM

I understand what you mean. Funny part is, I never got any email from eBay regarding it. I Googled it real quick and it working seems to be hit and miss for the people that didn't get the email either. It did seem to be pretty common that if your eBay email and your PayPal email address were the same that the code would work.
Definitely worth a shot though, saved me $23 instantly on top of the $71 I'll get later, I can't complain about that. But you can only use it once, so be sure it's worth it!

Yeah, it's making it too easy to spend money. lol But I guess that's the point isn't it?

Just 1 item. The 10% code works only once.

supra441979 11-30-2008 05:43 PM

Is the 30% off still valid? And it only one time use?

Look at you nerds buying computers and video games. I spent my pennies on a Wastegate, BOV, and IC.

On second thought... props to Microsoft.

They're raking in the ad-click dollars while the masses buy things which stimulate demand for Microsoft products, all the while driving eyeballs to Live search, showing Yahoo that MS Pimphand™ is strong. LOL

Ol'softie still has the magic touch.

PS--I used the 10% coupon i was emailed last night as well...tried to use a 2nd coupon but only 1 allowed....but friggin sweet to get 40% off fo w/e!

Yes, the coupon is one time affair only. Yesterday I used it once for 40% off and it worked then I tried a second time but it didn't accept it.

But today Ebay send me a second 10% off coupon. So I just used it to order a Nitrogen bottle for 40% off total. 10% off was instant and 5 minutes after I paid Microsoft did the 30% cash transaction back to my Paypal account. LOL so the total is $35 for a Nitrogen bottle to charge the shocks in my car. 40% off instanly FTW :bowrofl:

RotorNutFD3S 12-01-2008 09:55 PM

I still have a balance pending from some purchases, but I decided to go ahead and order my BOV and that one hit my PayPal account immediately. All were on eBay, wonder what the difference was. Oh well, not complaining!
I wonder what it takes to get that email...
What's the new code? :)

j_man 12-01-2008 10:26 PM

Same as the old one. Looks like what matters is ebay to tag your account that you can use the 10% code again

RotorNutFD3S 12-01-2008 11:52 PM

Must be. I was able to use the old one. Using it again says that it has expired now, not that it has been used already or is invalid... Oh well.

chriscar 12-02-2008 01:34 AM

I've been racking my brain for the last 2 days because I knew there had to be something on eBay I could buy for my Miata at 30% off, and I finally figured it out.

I scored a Nardi Rally 350mm leather with red stitching (Hi Y8s!) for $240 -30% + $15 shipping = $183 and the Live Cashback posted to my account 8 minutes later, unlike the netbook cash that's going to take 60 days.

I'm a happy camper.

druz 12-03-2008 02:22 PM

When I first did it months ago the discount would change depending on what lind of search you did. Not sure how it was figured but I was able to try some other searches and get 30% again.

MazDilla 12-03-2008 02:44 PM

Care to share what you did druz? I would like to buy a couple more things at 30%

druz 12-03-2008 05:38 PM

i just used different keywords and noticed sometimes it would be 30% other times 20 or 25%. Given how much publicity it's gotten now I wouldnt be surprised if was not 30% anymore. I just tried a few things and they were all 20%.

RotorNutFD3S 12-03-2008 06:10 PM

Yeah, no matter what I try now it's either 10% or 20%. Still better than nothing. Sucks as I was going to use the 30% for a big purchase tonight. Damn...
