    live.com at 8%??

    Has it ever been that low before? In my experience, I've seen it between 20 and 35%. Are they trying to tell us something?

    it's been down to 10 a few times for sure, not sure if it has been below that before.

    Hopefully it goes back up, I have 5 or so things I have on my wish list.

        I wonder if they were getting hit too hard for Christmas gifts? If you really wanted people to use it, it seems as if now would be the time to promote it.

          It was down to 8% for a while this summer. It tends to up and down with no real pattern. I've never seen it above 30%, but it did stick around 25% for quite a while several weeks back. It went to 30% on Black Friday for several days. It'll likely bounce back up.

            The last time I tried it, I got either 15% or 8% depending on what I searched for. I think "Router" got me 15%, but "Wii" got 8%. Of course once you click on the link to ebay, you can buy whatever you like.


            EDIT: Strike that- I can't find anything giving over 8% now.

              Different business can offer different discounts through the Cashback deal. We tend to quote the Ebay Cashback deals most, which are now at 8%, but if you go to the Cashback website you'll find links to other businesses with varying discounts. Footlocker is currently 20%, Magazines.com is 25%...

                Last Thursday night I snaged a Panasonic Blue Ray Disc Player for $249.99 less 30% cash back and free shipping. Saturday morning it was 15% and the first of the week it was 8% I think you need to jump quick when it is up high.

                  the ebay cashback seemed to be the only actual 'deal' when i last looked.
                  20% at a place like footlocker is still most likely $80 for a pair of sneaks :\

                    Now ebay doesn't come up with any live.com discount! Glitch or...?

                      Probably not. It may have worn out its welcome over there, for the time being, at least. They probably got the first bill...

                          I feel your pain... I'm up about $275 myself. I just don't think folks at Ebay knew going in how much people were gonna use it, or what it would add up to.
