It's coming up when I search for Macbook. Try other popular items though, like Wii.
 
guys,can i trust these vendors on ebay??please help!:confused:

Just make sure you buy from people who have high ratings (as close to 100% positive feedback as possible, and power sellers are good to look for) and use paypal and you should be fine.
 
Raj:
the coupon which you gave works initially,but later when i sign into paypal at checkout,the discount isnt included.

one seller initially offered a 2 gig model for 1299 but later it was changed to 1375..isnt this ridiculous??
and how do some sellers offer to install office for mac for free??i am not able to convince myself to trust these sellers.some of my friends are suggesting me to me go thru apple/authorized only to be on the safer side ..
 
along the same lines... the seller refunded my payment claiming that after my payment his paypal account had become "limited" - his words. now ebay has my account as "has to pay for 1 item" (but i lost the $200). i am not sure if i trust the seller, maybe he decided after all to relist the item with a higher price, but i certainly don't trust paypal/ebay/live.com and it is possible that what the seller says is true.

they HAD credited my paypal account with $200 instantly. that amount was available, not pending or anything. now all the transactions were reverted :mad:
 
That's a little sketch... correct me if I'm wrong, but are you saying the seller is 'willing' to send you a MBP, broken seal, with pirated software on it?
I just told him to send it to me unopened. if the seal is broken Im sending it back.
 
help please?

hi guys,
I'm totally newb here, and I read about the live.com thing for ebay, so I went and bought an ipod touch with it. I checked out via paypal and everything. They sent me a message in ebay telling me to "click for cashback", but the link leads to the german version of ebay. Is this normal?

I haven't tried it yet, but that doesn't sound normal...

there is something wrong with those links in the email. there should have been a link to go to cashback when you payed. can you click back on the link to your receipt from ebay/paypal?
 
Just picked up an apple tv on ebay with the cashback thing. I had the link problem too. I changed the address from "ebay.fr" to "ebay.com" and then it worked. Getting a nice chunk back!
 
is it down again? i see the cashback links to ebay on live.com but no rebate when I checkout on ebay? is it working for everyone but not me? :confused: edit: since yesterday

You need to click the 25% link, and use it on a buy it now auction with paypal checkout only(no 3rd party). The rebate is also not instant. You pay it and get the money back later.

yeah, it shows up on live.com like normal.. but no link or microsoft live.com graphic! :( wanted to get a new mbp
 
It's working, but the prices are not...some of the prices are ridiculous, I would be a fool send that type of money to the unknown, I would rather go to Apple.
 
Just used it for an iMac purchase a few minutes ago. Definitely hasn't showed up in my acct. yet though. :rolleyes:
 
if anyone is looking for the base macbook pro which retails for 1999. I am selling one in the mr marketplace and will list it on ebay for 1900 if you want and you can get it for 1700 shipped after the cashback. I opened it and then realized I really want the 17 inch. (I was torn whether I should get the 17 or the new one and decided on the new one) PM me if you're interested
 
I got it working once today but not it's not. I got 25% off a LaCie backup drive but it's giving me less than 10% now. I've tried clearing cookies, using a different browser, and even another computer. No go. I guess I'll just call it a day.
 
Quick question, will this work with the Buy it Now or Best Offer option?
