Digital Home Thoughts: Microsoft Pays You to Shop at Ebay

"35% cash back from eBay purchase using Microsoft Live Search *No selling!* Only applies to Buy It Now items paid for using PayPal. For example, go to http://www.live.com/ (type it into your browser, don't click the link in this post) and search for a Wii. Check the paid results at the top and right for a link to eBay with the "live search cashback" icon. Click it, find a Buy It Now auction for a Wii (or whatever you want for that matter). Discount should be listed on checkout page."

Microsoft's Live.com Cashback program is a great deal that gives you cash back for purchasing items found via the Live.com search engine at more than 600 stores. Apparently this also applies to eBay "Buy-it-Now" items that are paid for with PayPal. The cashback percentage appears to fluctuate, but as of this posting was running a whopping 30%!

I was already planning to includes Live.Com Cashback in my holiday shopping, but I'm going to make sure and check eBay now.
