I had 2 separate orders with Zappos which did not show up in my account after several days. I sent separate e-mails about each one and they responded quite quickly and it was listed in my cashback account a couple days later.

so i just made my first live.com purchase.
I saw the 30% cashback icon when i click buy it now.
I clicked on the link in my ebay msg to sign into my live.com account.
My total cashback shows 0.
So i need to wait 60 days for it to show up?
Do i need to do anything else?

timewaster,
It should show up within a day or 2 in your live.com account as pending and will state the date when you can "cash out" (after 60 days).

Can someone help me...I registered with Live.com, have an account, registered for Live.com cashback, got that. When I search "Wii" on Live.com and click on the eBay sponsored link, I can not get the live.com cashback banner or icon or whatever to appear. Any suggestions? I am using FireFox.

Is there any upper-limit on buy-it-now item price?
For instance, could I buy a 1 oz. gold coin for $900 and get $270 cash back? (Sounds too good to be true... what's the 'catch'?)

maximum discount per purchase is $200.
So the "Sweet spot" to maximize is $667, but you can still buy higher amounts, so yes in theory you can get $200 off a gold coin purchase.
$200 purchase = $140 net
$667 purchase = $467 net
$1,000 purchase = $800 net.

Great deals out there! I had been waiting for the Onkyo 606 receiver to go below $350 on amazon. I was able to get one from a licensed seller on ebay for $210 plus $30 shipping.

You do have the little banner at the top of eBay's site that shows the cashback percentage when viewing the item?

Nope. No sign anywhere on ebay of the deal. I tried FF and IE. 
Suppose this will just save me money. I probably wouldn't but the things I was going to use it for if it wasn't such a good deal.

Just to double-check:
Go log in on eBay, and tell it to save your ID for today.
Then, go to live.com and log into your account there.
Turn off Norton (or whatever).
Use the live.com web search for Nintendo DS (usually works for me--sometimes the Wii won't give me an eBay link).
On the top of the list of results is a sponsored ads section. The eBay ad should be there, showing some cashback info. If not, try searching for other common things, like PS3, etc..
Follow the sponsored ad link to eBay.
The banner should then be at the top of eBay's site.
At which step does this fail for you?
I used it a few days ago to get a great deal on a 60GB PS3. The hardest part for me was getting the sponsored ad for eBay to show up. I tried searching for like 30 different things before I finally got it--Nintendo DS was the one that worked for me.

I just picked up an Onkyo sr805 for $385 shipped!
Ebay had also sent me a 10% off coupon which I was able to stack with the 30% Live.com rebate.
It was like the perfect storm of deals! SAHWEEEETTT!

^ For you.
For me, "quad core computer" (without quotes) gives me sponseored ads for intel, NexTag, and calibex. And on the right side of the screen, I have live.com itself, LowPriceShopper, gear-for-guys, LifeWithoutWalls, and exava.
"quad core computer" (with quotes) gives me LowPriceShopper in the main section instead of intel, and on the right side, Shopzilla and pronto replace LowPriceShopper and LifeWithoutWalls.
But, Nintendo DS is still working for me to give me the sponsored ad for eBay at the top of the main section.
I have been theorizing that the sponsored ads are adjusted either by some kind of cookie information, or by IP address (which can roughly determine your physical location).

I agree with this theory. When I would do a Live search from my work network, which is huge, the best eBay cashback link I could get was 2%. Most of the time it wouldn't return any! However, the exact same search terms from home would always yield a 30% link.
