25% cash back from eBay purchase using Microsoft Live Search.

In case you guys haven't heard about this deal, Microsoft is offering 25% cashback paid via paypal for US PayPal account holders who search for items using their live.com search page.

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.

Here's the original thread from slickdeals with all the info: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=197557&t=846962

I guess they changed it again. Apparently it was 35% at the start of the offer then changed to 10%, and was up to 25% yesterday. Keep checking in case it goes back up.

People are reporting that some items are still 25% off. You just have to try different items.

25% off discount is back guys.

To see if you get the 25%, it should show on the top left beside your name, but if it doesn't, find an item with BUY IT NOW, click "Buy" and it will show on the confirmation page if the 25% is credited. Too bad this is for US only :(

I tried it with "Cheap Q6600", found one selling for $199.99 and a $50 cash back was shown after clicking the buy button. You are not obliged to buy until after you click the continue button.
