Ive noticed this.......is it on different days you get more? like today when i tried to do it i get 15% off only? and the other day it was 30% off when i got alaptop laptop
 
I have an even better question. Why can't I get the cashback to show up on Ebay?

do you have an ebay account? a live account? and did you use the buy it now and pay within and hour?
 
its random...just wait until it jumps back up to 25-30% before you purchase. But the terms did say it can end anytime. Right now I think they are offeringinstant cashback.

Random as far as day.....or as far as searches....like if i wait an hour does it change?
 
I think 30% was part of the black friday sales weekend. Hopefully they jump back up within the next next so i can purchase a camera.

Makes sence
 
Yes, it's very annoying. I just made a large purchase at 25%. Mad I missed 30%, but glad I got it before it dropped to 15%.

My take is they want people to buy NOW. Not say, well, I know it's going to be 30% two weeks from now so I'll just buy it then.

Plus, it's a hell of a promotion regardless to get any kind of discount on eBay. And when you get the instant cashback, it's even better.

back then it seemed like different terms would get you different %, but as of late it seems like everything i tried to search would be the same %cashback. and I dont know when do they make the change I usually just wait for the next day, but its been sitting at 15% for 2 days now

and I wanted to get some xmas stuff from ebay too.
 
In regards to the two above posts:

It's random as to the day/time of the cashback. It does not vary by item.

The 30% was going on for much longer than just Black Friday. I wish I would have jumped on it months ago when it was 35%.

It will probably be more than a few hours. It has constantly been dropping since Black Friday. Hopefully it bumps back up next week.

If you didn't get instant cashback (completely random), then you have to wait the 60 days for it to clear before you can send it to your PayPal account.
 
you gotta wait the 60 days unless it says its instant on the live site.
people are guessin its dwindlin down n goin to end soon. hopefully itll jump up.
got in a lcd tv with the 30+10% from paypal/ebay last weekend.
 
I wish they always offered this service. It makes shopping on eBay so much better! For both my sales and my purchasing ability!
 
100+ instant cashback on a d40 <3.
highest was at 35% when it first released.
 
Wait, they don't tell you how much you are getting back until after you make the payment?

Right before you pay, there's a small messagebox thing that tells you have much cashback you'll be getting back.
