35% cash back on eBay purchases (Buy it Now) up to $250

[.jacob]

Hmmm! I search for wii, and click the Ebay sponsored hit. Then, once, at ebay, I type in digital rebel xsi. When I search that the cash back icon disappears!

Fortunately, when I search for the digital rebel xsi on live.com, the ebay sponsored hit is there, but that sucks if you're searching for something obscure that live.com will not send to ebay. Damn.

Just click "my ebay" after you go through the sponsor link from live search. It should show up at the top of the screen in your "my ebay". Then just search for other buy-it-now items but you won’t see the banner while you are searching for items. But after you go to the listing the 25% banner should show up again.

So has anyone tried running the freemoniez scam and not have their account suspended yet?

I guess you could say im in the mood to commit a little bit of fraud

[Raskol]

is there anything special that a seller has to do in order for the listing to qualify for the cashback? can it just be a regular BIN listing?

Any buy it now listing is qualified. The seller doesn't need to do anything special.

[Guest]

yes, any regular BIN listing listed through ebay.com, but not ebay.ca or ebay.de, etc.

[Raskol]

cool thanks

I would be pretty careful. I had my PP acct frozen for 6 months and my eBay acct suspended that I've had for like 10 years.

^ how did you do it?

[skistar]

"selling" stuff w/o actually selling anything, running money transactions through paypal (either gotta have the money, a CC, or buyers credit) for max profit/min expense transactions... you should be able to scrape ~16%* off the top of each $800 transaction (for max 200 cashback @ 25%). Could probably net a few grand each by the time you and a buddy each use your 12 transactions. Or you could just be legit and buy 12 things you need for yourself/x-mas, then get a quarter of it paid back to you in 60 days...

*edit: not including eBay listing fees which is what eventually makes it barely worth it. just cop jawns.

Looks like it's dead for now.

[ghettosalazar]

It is dead for now. Thursday it was at 20%, and very early Friday it was at 15%. Also, I bought one thing for 20% & one thing for 15%, but got paid immediately (instead of the usual two month waiting period).

[shekki]

i just check and it's at 8% now

[cyberPUNK]

fuck, when is that shit coming back?

[ghettosalazar]

8%...shit.

this deal just lost it's potency.

at least I made almost $300 off ebay!

[Guest umhaha84]

Fuck 8%%%%%%%%%%

[skistar]

fuckkk I'm already having withdrawels...

I still have like 4-5 purchases left and this has been making me as much money as my job the last few weeks!!! Give us an instant 35% back for the holidays, I'll stimulate the economy the best I can!

[Handlethevibe]

So you did transactions with yourself and have gotten the cashback?

[skistar]

no... the profit margin on that isn't too great after all the paypal and eBay fees... especially with the 25% off (I missed out on the 35%). I mostly bought stuff I knew I could sell on CL locally for a profit and then the 25% was just extra on top of what I would make. I tried to find bundled stuff (went through 4-5 PS3's, a couple wii's, and some ski/snowboard stuff) that I could piece out and sell individually and maximize my profit with the $200 per transaction limit.

[ghettosalazar]

^

isn't the limit 12? or did you just do it under 12 times/make a new ebay account

[skistar]

I used a buddy of mines acct first and did 12 on his and then I think I made it through 8-10 or so on my acct before it died... I still need to buy myself a couple x-mas presents so hopefully it comes back soon!

[Guest crazy4kix]

[skistar]
