It's 20%, but you can get 25% if you search for something like "wii", which will give you a 20% eBay link and a 25% "eBay Stores" link. Click on the Stores link... the 25% banner will follow you around the site regardless of whether you stay in Stores or not and should be in effect when you buy something.

To Mister PERFECT!!
You need to read before posting. Before you even asked your first questions, they had already been answered in this thread. I answered somebody about your email address questions just 17 posts before yours, and at the time I was doing it, I was thinking to myself "what a stupid waste of time writing the answer; tomorrow somebody's going to ask the same damn question because they're too lazy to read." Thanks for fulfilling my prophecy. I and others have also repeatedly pointed people to the slickdeals forums about this because there is an unbelievably massive thread about live.com cashback and eBay there, with every question you can possibly imagine already having been answered.
For those who did reply and was of help, THANK YOU, I apprecaite it.
As for the mod who decides to remove this post, that's fine, I will never come back here again anyways due to the df that replied above. That's what you want is Aholes like him running everyone off of your forums, maybe you should suspend the df'er instead! I was a member for an entire 30hrs and I AM DONE!

Does anyone know a history of the percentage off? I want to buy a pair of speakers off ebay but am wondering if I wait until closer to christmas if the percentage might go back up to 30. Of course, I really don't want it to go down farther.
And to smileyfta, don't leave. Don't let one bad experience ruin the greatness that is DVDtalk. If you stay, I think you'll find that more often than not people are incredibly friendly and helpful.
I also want to ask you what "df" means. I sorta don't want to know because I'm coming up with so many wonderful possibilities in my head, such as... Douche Finger... Dick Fuck... Dick Face... David Franklin... or Dooty Foot. Am I close on any one?

I don't think the 25% off thing is working. The eBay stores come up 20% for me.

So, eBay, PayPal, and Live can all have different email addresses for you. However, if PayPal and eBay have different email addresses for you, you can't get those 10% or 15% or whatever coupons that sometimes come through.

. Hopefully it goes back up to 30 right around Christmas.

Double Fister is what I'm leaning toward now.
C'mon, smileyfta, I know you came back to this thread to see what the response would be. You can't leave us in the dark!
What if we all start chanting your name and clapping slowly? Or what if we all start chanting "Ducks" and have the Flying V bring you back?

Sorry if I'm repeating questions, but this only works for buy-it-now, correct?
Also, how do you know after clicking over to live.com to eBay that the cashback feature is in effect (or cookied in your browser or whatever)?

When you click over to eBay you should see a banner at top of page with discount listed. When you go thorough purchase you will have the rebate amount shown on each page before you confirm to buy.

This seems like an amazing deal for me to get 3-year Apple Care. With the discounted price already and 25-30% off that, I'm saving a ton.
Do I need to sign in to my cashback account before searching? I still haven't seen a banner on top when I do this and click over. Maybe cause I'm using FireFox?
EDIT: Yup, worked in IE
So why is it 20% now? Wasn't it 25 and 30% before? What's up with that?

The percentage keeps changing. I'd suggest watching the items you want and check often for cashback changes. It might go up, it might go down.

No, it's from MicroSoft.
