Get 25% Cash Back On eBay Purchases

sarahintampa — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 05:56:00 GMT

About to click “buy it now” in eBay? Wait! Before you do so, did you know that if you do a search on Live.com that results in a sponsored link click-through to eBay, you can get 25% off the item you purchase if it’s a Buy-it-now auction? To get this deal, just go to www.live.com and do a web search for the item you’re looking for. Then, in the sponsored links section on the right, look to see if any of the links have a “Live Search Cashback” link next to them.

Heck yeah, Live.com just became my eBay search engine. The fine print to this deal isn’t all that complicated either – the only requirement is that you pay via PayPal, which I think most eBay’ers do anyway, right?

However, please not that you can only receive up to $200 cash back from the Live.com folks, so keep that in mind when you go to purchase that small island you were looking at.

Explosion at Ebay/PayPal offices on Halloween

Jesse — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:25:00 GMT

First thing's first, no one was reported injured when an explosive device detonated at the Ebay/PayPal HQ in San Jose last night. One window blew out into the night sky, but otherwise there were just a lot of rustled feathers of the two dozen employees shirking their trick or treat responsibilities by working late.

Let this be a lesson to you kids; improvised explosive devices should only be used to blow open the treat bags of other halloweenies (or to fight an insurgency). They are not considered a means of effective customer feedback.

Bid and Buy from your Couch! (eBay on Media Center )

Into eBay, but not interested in hanging around your computer waiting to jump in and snipe that last second bid? Well, now you can bid on auctions with your TV remote! I was down in Las Vegas for the Ebay Developers Conference and I met up with Christoph Buenger from Scendix. Scendix specializes in writing apps for Windows XP Media Center Edition and has produced mceWeather (great weather forecast display), mcePhone (Skype calls from the couch!) and mceAuction (eBay!). Check out the video and let us know what you buy (or in my case, try to buy, I never seem to win ... not enough patience I guess) through eBay!
