I know sometimes it takes up to a month for ebates to show your purchase. I did get my ebates for shopping at mercata and with 20% with no browser gyrations (not that I didn't try). I got the whole $300+ @ 5% for my tivo, not the after discounted price of $275. It says on the ebates site that as long as you go thru the ebates site to make your purchase, even if you lose your little ebates frame you should still get your rebate. I have emailed them a few times concerning rebates and they are pretty quick at responding, try it. So remember people, the key term is that you shopped from their site.
