I don't see why people are complaining about it taking time and not being worth it. Took me all of 5 minutes to set up a cash back account and have something bought on eBay...

grbgemen:
i cannot find ebay on live.com.  no where do i see it offering 30%.

I think it was partly my fault since I didn't write a summary at first at the top of the post and so people were confused by the volume of information that I presented. Me, I like lots of detailed info so I can verify at every step I'm doing things right. But it can be intimidating, so I added a summary in addition for those who just want to get it done. And yeah, it can definately be done in 5 mins or much less depending on if someone already has a MS passport account to use for the live cashback, an ebay account, and a paypal account.

Read and follow the cliff notes at the top.
A search for certain keywords in live.com MUST be done to get the 30% offer to appear (MS doesn't list it for ebay as a store in the store list, perhaps because it only applies to buy it now/paypal items and not the whole ebay site). After its offered, one can then go on to purchase essentially anything on ebay with buy it now and paypal.
I gave one of those keywords:
dual core computer
in the bolded part of the OP. People are free to use any keyword that works, and it doesn't matter since once its enabled one can use the 30% on whatever with buy it now paypal.
I didn't spell that out in the cliff notes at top because its spelled out in the details following the cliff notes. Because of earlier comments about it being too complicated I pared the procedure down to the bare minimum for the cliff notes. All that has to be done is follow them :)

Other keywords someone can try if they don't like that one for some reason (I just tried these and they all showed the 30% off offer in live.com):
cheap game console
dell computer
cheap computer
video games
console games
laptop
digital cameras
HDTV
There are some additional fine print details in OP if you are interested, and of course all the fine print on the ebay and MS cashback sites could be checked out as well to verify any/all of this.

note: I went and emphasized that part about searching in live.com because looks like some ppl are missing that crucial step :) I also added step numbers and explained more about the keywords in the info following the cliff notes, and matched the detailed info to the step numbers. I also added links to MS's FAQ on this, thier terms/conditions of it, and ebay's terms/conditions. There may be other fine print too, I don't make any garuntees about any of this. This is MS's offer not mine.

Thanks for the heads up.

 Appears to have worked for me :)
