Like a zombie that refuses to die EBAY CASHBACK LIVES AGAIN You may have to refresh your search for "cheap wii", "gold coin" or my favorite "buy it now" a few times for the link to show up but it is working again at 25%
Note, its acting kinda buggy at this point though. Often the 25% link doesnt show up in ebay but it generally will if you keep using "open link in new tab."

Ive gotten the link to show up and work numerous times now and also tested that it stays all the way through to confirming payment, basically its just persistance.
This is what has worked for me:
1. Search for one of the key words that usually brings up % off results. Cheap camera, cheap wii, gold coin etc etc.
2. If you don't get the 25% on the 1st search just keep hitting F5 and within usually 10 refreshes you'll get a 25% link
3. Once you have the link, middle click (click the mouse wheel) it 10 times or so, as long as you're using a browser with tabs that will open the link in 10 different tabs.
4. Check the 10 tabs, its usually around a 50% chance that the cashback icon will show in one of them at least.
5. If not, middle click the cashback link another 10 times. Check. If you get to 30 with no cashback icon (hasnt happened to me but im sure its possible) you can try a different search term if you feel like its wasting your time.
6. This has worked for me 15+ times using 2 different computers and both Firefox 3 and IE7
Is it a hassle having to go through this to get it to work? Yes.
Is it worth the hassle to save up to $250x3 (or more if you're greedy and open multiple ebay accounts)? IMHO yes.

I missed this last week and I do have a couple of things I wany to get on eBay. I'm confused though about what I'm supposed to be seeing at eBay.
I don't have any problem getting eBay to show up in my live search and I can refresh until it comes to 25%. When I click that link though, I never see anything about cashback on the eBay search page. What exactly am I supposed to see?
Thank you.
Edit: Never mind, I finally got it to work, the cashback symbol appeared at the very top and I did get a confirmation message after I paid through PayPal. I hope it works, I have another item I'd like to buy.

Just to sweeten the deal, if you use kickitback.com (And I think fatwallet has one of these as well) in conjunction with the 25% cashback, you get an extra 1% off of your purchase. Not much, but hey, it's a discount yeah?

Nope, I purchased 3 items from ebay motors and still don't have anything showing up. Have exchanged emails with MS tech support about it but still no results.
I've been trying the method listed above for about 15 minutes and while I've gotten a couple of links that say things like "Save up to 20% on game consoles" I don't get any links to ebay to get the banner. Can anyone confirm it's working for them?
