I've never used Live.com, but in the fine print, it said that it can take up to 60 days for the cashback to be available, depending on the item. I'm guessing that this is why some people get the cash ASAP but some aren't seeing it until a few days later.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for responding!
I am wondering if it makes any sense to even transfer it to Paypal. If they are going to take it back maybe I am just better off leaving it in the Microsoft account.

I wish live.com would go back to 30% off! You would think since this is the last week that you can buy stuff and get it before Christmas that they would?

TXGirlie · Dec 17th, 2008, 03:57 AM

I think it may be back to 20% but I need to find a keyword that would link to ebay. The usual keywords don't have the cashback icon on them.

kimalee · Dec 17th, 2008, 09:49 AM

^it's only at 5% for me

Elara · Dec 17th, 2008, 10:07 AM

I can't get ANY discount to come up today- ugh.

kimalee · Dec 17th, 2008, 10:09 AM

^the only thing it came up for for me was 'used ipod'

t-mobile sidekick gives you 8%

luralee · Dec 17th, 2008, 11:53 AM

I can't even get it to come up with cashback on ebay at all. I put in 'used ipod', 'cheap camera', and 'camera case' and they bring up stuff on ebay, but no icon for the cashback.

ilikepenguins · Dec 17th, 2008, 07:13 PM

I can tell, it's totally gonna go back up AFTER I BIN some things I've been watching lol

kris93 · Dec 17th, 2008, 07:36 PM

i made a bin purchase back in early october and i still haven't recieved any kind of cashback yet. when i go into my live.com account, it says i have nothing still, not even a pending amount. i have 2 cashbacks i'm still waiting for. should i contact ebay or live.com?

pzold · Dec 17th, 2008, 09:27 PM

Anybody find a search word that is working tonight? "Mont Blanc" was working yesterday but I can't even get that or the t-Mobile mentioned above to work tonight.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone has seen the same situation.

I used Live.com cash back for a bag on eBay for the first time several weeks ago. I should be getting about $106 back, but have to wait out the 60 days. The item is long paid for and received.

On my Cash Back Summary page, two transactions are listed. One says that I can request my cash ($106) in 21 days. The second says the amount will be automatically transferred in 35 days. I assumed at first this was just to compensate: either I request the cash, or a few weeks later they'll transfer it over.

However, the summary at the top of the page lists the total pending cash as double ($212). Interestingly, when I look at these two listing, they have different dates (November 9th vs November 23rd) and different ID numbers, although they specify the same item. Even weirder, they say different purchase prices! It looks like one has a "unit price" that includes the $15.50 shipping, and one at the Buy It Now level.

Is cash back always listed like this, or is it possible that I got lucky and was double charged? I know I will find out after I request the first $106, but I was curious if there was any chance of the amount being doubled by some lucky stroke.

Any experience with this?
