I purchased an item on Ebay to recieve 30% cash back. I got the email from ebay saying you have qualified for cash back. I clicked the link set up the account and low and behold my money was showing. Of course, you have to wait 60 days on it. However, I logged in two weeks later and it shows a zero I REPEAST A ZERO BALANCE. They haven't paid out anything to my paypal account. I have sent two emails and have only gotten automated responses. MIcrosoft Cash Bach is a scam. I purchased an item on Ebay to recieve 30% cash back.

I sent a 3rd email yesterday to the cashbk(at)microsoft.com address and this morning I had an email from one of their employees saying I received the rebate and sure enough, it is now showing in my cashback account. I am not sure if my 3rd email spurred them to take action of if I was simply in queue waiting to be helped, but either way I am very happy to have this resolved. This morning's reply and subsequent cashback rebate were the first time I received any feedback from Microsoft (except for the canned automated reply). Prior to today I never had 3% or any other amount pending in my cashback account. Now I don't have to return the HP items I purchased as a Christmas gift for my wife. This has left a bittersweat taste in my mouth about the live.com cashback program, but I can't say I wouldn't use this service again should such a sweet deal come around again (40% off your HP order is hard to turn down). For those still waiting, hang in there, you have until after Christmas to return your laptops, and if you can I suggest waiting a while longer before sending back your hardware (assuming you really want the hardware and aren't itching to stick it to HP by returning your purchases).

I didn't use Live.com before and definitely WON'T be using them going forward. I'll stick to Google for searches and ebates.com or fatwallet.com for online shopping rebates. What a total FUBAR this was. I think we all saw this coming (no repeat of the %40 deal in the future).
