Topic: Live Search to offer rebates for searching

[Samker]

How would you like a nice rebate?, well if you use Microsoft's Live Search to buy products from eBay you can. Today Microsoft announced ( http://blogs.msdn.com/livesearch/archive/2008/11/06/buy-now-on-ebay-for-25-cashback.aspx ) the 25% rebate from Ebay on the Live Search Blog by giving this slogan "Christmas presents to be purchased? Budget a bit tight? Microsoft Live Search has a solution for all the parents out there being harassed for big ticket items by our kids. Why not save up to 25% right now?".

As with most offers of "Free" money there are some draw backs those being that there is a $200 limit for the cash back and the payment is through paypal only and of course its region as well only being for the users from the United States.

This isn't the first time Microsoft has offered incentives for using Live Search, they already have a system ( http://blogs.msdn.com/livesearch/archive/2008/10/01/earning-your-loyalty-one-search-at-a-time.aspx  ) where you get points for using the search engine that can be converted into prizes and gifts which range from free music downloads to airplane miles.
