There is no known End date for this promtion. However, wisdom says that higher % is not going to stay for ever.
Remember: the percentage below is the high. If you get lower, refresh your browser until the higher value appears.
Now 25% (as of 7/28/08 @ 11:23 Pm EST)+ 10% eBay coupon (CJULYFUN0810P) = 35% off (YMMV - Must have received coupon directly from eBay!)

When you hit the 20% off jackpot click the link.
If you can't think of anything to buy and just want to make some quick cash, buy whatever currency is available for around $1000. Some sellers are offering modern currency for around $1000. This is a great way to make a quick purchase for a quick profit! Earn 25% back on $1000, and immediately deposit the cash you bought into the bank! ***THINK TWICE ABOUT THIS ONE. Many buyers have found themselves receiving calls from PayPal about these "modern currency" deals, and many sellers have had the listing removed and been booted from eBay. This is considered money laundering according to eBay rules and may result in no Cash Back AND punitive measures.***

You will not earn Cash Back awards on purchases where (a) you open the store's web site in a different web browser; (b) your browser is not configured to accept cookies; (c) the purchase is not completed in the same web browsing session (not to exceed 24 hours) initiated by clicking on the eligible advertisement or listing; (d) the order is later cancelled or the goods or services are later returned; (e) the store does not report the purchase to Microsoft; (f) the goods or services are acquired for resale or other business purposes; or (g) you also use a separate discount or coupon. Live Search CashBack awards are not available on purchases of gift cards or gift certificates (disputable: there no exclusion in ToS. Also I did see CashBack on checkout screen for a $250 gift card) or on purchases you make from yourself or entities that you control.

Q: A purchase isn't showing up in my account. What should I do?
A: Most purchases appear as pending within a day or two, but occasionally a store may take longer to tell us about your purchase. If you made a purchase more than 7 days ago that isn't displayed in your CashBack account, contact us with your purchase details. We'll get back to you just as soon as we can.
it appears $250 max per session is in effect
Speaking solely from my own experience. My first 2 transactions' rebate amount was around $240. My 3rd transaction's rebate amount was around $100, but during the final checkout via paypal, I got an error message saying "request cannot be processed at this time" but the paypal still deducted the amount regardless and I never received the CashBack message from eBay stating my Cash Back unlike my first 2 transactions. So be careful not to exceed $250 total rebate amount.

Yes. Yes.

Yes. The max. per transaction is $250.
11) Did the first 2 transactions without problem, the 3rd gave me an error message at the end (though my payment went through) and I haven't gotten the CashBack message on eBay from it. Anyone else have this happen?
Yes, happens to many. It only seems to be happening for the 3rd and final transaction on your eBay account. The CashBack is reported correctly though.
12) Are eBay Motors purchases eligible for CashBack?
This is a gray area. Many fw members are reporting they are not seeing pending CashBack in their live accounts. The eBay T&C's do not, however, explicitly exclude eBay motors from the offer.
A FEW UPDATES:
1) Users are reporting problems with registration and invalid security certificates with Firefox. Run Microsoft web code on a Microsoft browser for best results.
2) Many users are reporting missing CashBack entries in their CashBack account, even though they believe to have followed the rules & procedures exactly. YMMV.
3) Some users are reporting difficulty in getting response and resolution to issues through LIVE.com support. YMMV
4) Some users are reporting that Live.com/eBay/Paypal are "evolving" their interpretation of the terms & conditions, particularly for currency and bullion.
