Thanks Fatwallet:

Bing.com cashback for eBay is now at 14%. To get this percentage you must search for the word "camera" on Bing and click the eBay link that appears on the right side of the screen. There may well be other search terms that will also bring up the 14% link, but "camera" is the only one I have found (some search terms bring up a lower percentage. E.g., the word "video card" brings up a 12% link).

Some troubleshooting: If you're having trouble getting the 14% link to come up: a) make sure Adblock is disabled for Bing.com; b) try signing in to Bing.

Yup, camera just showed up as 14% for me as well. Slowly inching it's way back up there.

iphone and Atari both give you 14% links as well. But it doesn't really matter.

Bing CB is all over the place. I was happy the 10% Newegg was back when I ordered a few hours ago. :)

CB is great for a pc repair guy...

Yeah, it really is all over the place. What would be good is a stickied thread that lists the then-current CB percentage of the major retailers

I want to buy an expensive item on eBay, and 14% off is great....but I wonder if it will go up anymore? I'd be kicking myself if next week all of a sudden it jumps to 20%....then there is always the possibility of it ending and getting no cash back.


To bad nobody has any inside information on the cash back amount will change and what it will change to.


BTW, I have received $2,000 + back from MS cash back. Most of it last year when I was buying all the really expensive items for my new house. Really great promotion.

add the word "used" in front of most search terms and the 14% will pop up.

As long as you go through bing and don't go over $2500 total CB in a year, why not?

I just wonder how long Microsoft can keep this going at this pace without going deep in the red.

Other than driving traffic to bing, what advantage is there for Microsoft? I can't imagine they're getting that much in ad revenue to cover the reimbursement costs.

People like me sure have not helped Microsoft, I have almost milked the full $2,500. Currently at $2,121.50

When I first started using cash back last year when it was at 20% and 25% it took several months to receive it. But now all of my purchases on eBay are instant cash back, I don't know if that is for everybody or just certain puchases. I think it is all instant cash back now though, so no more waiting months to receive it.

Reason I asked is because I've done several eBay Cashback purchases in the last week, and all of them are still pending my cash. You just got lucky with your instant ones.

What does melt value mean? If it's the actual value of the metal, wouldn't the goal be to buy below melt value?

Melt is the value of the metal in the earth. It is scrap value. .999% pure coins and bars always carry a premium. Typically the more pretty and portable something is, the more it costs. ;) Silver eagle and silver maple leaf coins usually carry the highest premium of $3-4 ish per ounce. The fact that their weight and purity is guaranteed by the government makes them very popular and highly recognized..so they usually cost more than bars made by private mints.

I don't think so. I made a purchase about a week ago and the cash is still pending, but I've made three purchases in the last 2 days and all of them were instant cash back.

My purchase yesterday was the same; i.e., I got the cashback instantly.

hey can you help me out, I'm a little late on this cashback idea. so you can buy ANYTHING off ebay and it's automatically 10% off? Does it have to be a camera?
