I've been searching live for 2 days using keywords like macbook, macbook pro, wii, etc and no $200 or %25 live cashback links have been showing up on ebay links? has anyone else noticed this? did ms finally put an end to this deal?

edit: check the last posts for updates.
 
It worked for me, too. Just browse on eBay for what you want to buy, then go back to live.com and enter "Macbook" and click on that eBay sponsored link on live.com to get your cash back.
 
well I had it working once but wasnt ready to buy. now I have another 100 dollars off ebay coupon and want to buy something and cant get the dm live search to come up again
 
I'm annoyed because I have a 10% off ebay coupon now too and I'm looking to buy a wii fit since they're hard to find anywhere else, and I can't get the cashback working either (not totally relevant but it doesn't come up when I search for Macbook either).

Try the following (it's down now, but try in a couple hours or days)

ps3
wii
xbox
cheap phone
 
Worked for me last night, i scored a New Macbook for $920.00 after the live cashback and a ebay coupon:D
 
I really think what it is is that ebay only pays for a certain amount of ads on live search every day, so best to try again tomorrow

I don't think eBay is running the ads - MS is. Because live is an ms product, they don't have to pay to get ad space.

I think the promo has just been discontinued for a while. I read that in the coming days they are upping it to 30% though.
 
Check that, the Ebay link did dissappear when i tried it again:confused:
Glad i snuck my purchase in last night then.
