i got the 30% discount but didnt realize that the seller was in fl. so my $200 discount was shortened by $86 fl tax

I have a couple of questions.
1: If I sign up for windows live do I have to cancel in a month or two so I wont be billed for any services or anything like that?
2oes the discount still apply if the shipping is free?

Thanks in advance

1. I don't remember seeing any hidden fees or getting signed up for credit reports, spams or anything???
2. Discount is taken off the BUY IT NOW item. It has nothing to do with shipping-but free is better for you

Glad it worked out for you milky

Windows Live isn't a paid service.

I tried it out on Sunday, worked like a charm.

On items that have free shipping I get to the commit to buy screen and it shows the %30 discount but does not show a $ amount you will be saving. Where as items that you have to pay for shipping it will show both the %30 discount and the $ amount you will be saving. Just wanted to get that clarified.
I know I might be over thinking or being to cautious but I would rather know now than to have an unexpected surprise later.
Thanks in advance.

Free shipping or not, it should show the amount you are saving before checkout. Also, windows live is part of your hotmail account if you have one. Just sign in and follow the steps.

Pearlpower, the code "CFALLSAVINGS10P" is only good for you since it is linked to your paypal account.

Also, my friend told me that the max transactions per account is now 12, but I have not verified it.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone encountered an email from paypal in regards to "sham transactions". I've completed 6 transactions over the past couple of months and the email stated that because of fraudalent transacations, actions have been taken (I'm assuming they are canceling my cashback).

Any insight would be appreciated!

Take care,

It may or may not work, I have used it twice now using both of my paypal accounts. One I did receive the coupon and the other I did not-that i know of.

I tried to use the code, but it says that it is linked to another paypal account. Thanks for the heads up though.

FYI - For those that purchase an item with the microsoft cashback incentive listed in the title and/or in the auction will be ineligible according to the live.com specialist I spoke with!

He stated the following:

We recently reviewed your account and your eBay transactions are
ineligible to receive a rebate under the Microsoft Services Agreement at
http://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=tou&mkt=en-us. The Microsoft
Services Agreement requires us to disqualify any transactions that are
made for the sole purpose of receiving a rebate from Microsoft (sham
transactions).

Essentially if a seller has an item for sale and mentions anything about the cashback rebate, the purchase will be reviewed for approval or declined based on the above mentioned.

This is just an FYI and may or may not apply to your purchase.

Wow, that fine print is a killer. Thanks for sharing the information. I don't agree with that at all but I don't make the rules. Did each of your transactions have the 30% listed?

Yes, all my transaction listed the 30% discount and showed up in my live.com account. I was notified today which is exactly 3 weeks (21 days) from the purchase date.

Please, keep your eyes and ears open if you hear any information or if you have any further insight. I will update my situation as the information comes to me.

Best of Luck!

Sorry to see you going through all of that. I just do not agree with it. Makes little sense to me.

Anyhow, it has started the downward spiral. Currently at 25%. Will go to 20,15,10 ,etc. in weeks to come.

Were your purchases legit? I know a lot of people out there that were just buying form each other just to collect the $200.To ebay and msft 6 transactions if a few months is probably a red flag for them. I'm sure if they are legit purchases they should give you the rebates.

Probably a good idea to purchase from auctions where it does not mention the rebate at all.
