Live.com is Microsoft's Search Utility (not unlike google). Live.Com & eBay have partnered to include eligible items listed on eBay in this program.  Currently when you use the live.com search utility to navigate to eBay you will receive cashback on eligible purchases. The percentage has been as low as 8% and as high as 35%.

Need to Establish a Live.Com Account~Just a Few Easy Steps Will Get You on Your Way to Earning Cashback

If you do not already have a live.com account you need to set that up. Then you need to login to your live.com account and set up a cashback account.

Here are the steps.

1. Go to the live.com home page.  There is a blue bar that runs the length of the upper portion of the page. Click on the "CASHBACK" link.
   
2. Set up a live.com account (unless you already have one). You can use your current email address to establish the account. You'll receive an email message from Microsoft to verify your live.com account. Go through that process.
   
3. Login to your live.com account then establish your "cashback" account.
   
4. Once you have your cashback account established, do a live.com search on something (maxx new york, for example). The search results display a list of items available from online stores participating in the cashback program.
   
• To get to the cashback eligible eBay link, click on the "Web" link below the search window on the curent results page. One of the fist things to display on that page will be a link to eBay in the Sponsored Results section of the page near the top..
  
5. Click on the link to ebay and log in to your ebay account - YOU WILL SEE GOLD IMAGE OF A $ SIGN. Poor quality photo but hopefully you get the idea..
   
6. If you know what you want to purchase, go to that listing and purchase the using BUY IT NOW.
   
• You need to purchase within 1 hour of logging in to eBay.
  
7. You will see your cashback amount (which is something you will get from Microsoft after 60 days) as you are going through the checkout process. IF YOU DON'T see it, close your current window and try it again. If the problem persists and you're trying to purchase one of my items, please feel free to contact me. 
   
8. NOTE: Only one purchase per eBay login event is eligible. You need to logout of eBay after making one purchase, and do another live.com search and navigate back to eBay to purchase another item.
   
9. NOTE: You can have as many Live.com accounts as you have paypal id's. There is a limit items per user eBay user ID (eBay's information about this program states 12). Many people have more than one PayPal account (husband/wife,buying/selling) so you can extend your savings that way. Please remember if YOU DO NOT SEE THE CASHBACK AMOUNT DURING THE CHECKOUT PROCESS YOU ARE NOT MAKING AN ELIGIBLE PURCHASE. Log Out and try again..
   
10. There are limits per year and per transaction. As of this writing 11/20/08 there is a cashback limit of $2,500 per year and a per-transaction limit of $200 off. Even with a $200 cap per transaction, you cashback for all BIN purchases up to $800 will be 25%. So it's worth the hassle.
