Is this possible? Really, I'd want the orange one but I'll take any edge 705.

When the microsfot cashback program was giving 30% back, it was possible to get the entry 705 for under $300 from eBay. I would keep your eye on the cashback amount and see if you can catch it at 25% or 30%.

Thanks. I am a little skeptical about whether those people are ever getting that money. Do you know anyone who actually got a good product and got the money back and deposited in their account?

Cheapest I've seen it is USD 478 for the team edition performance package with free shipping to the U.S
The normal black unit without the speed/cadence sensor is USD 358, both from www.wiggle.co.uk

I've made 5 transactions for a total cashback of $330. Of that, $200 is pending for 60 days, but the rest, $130.70 was deposited in my paypal account (and spent). Problem is that the cashback has dropped to 8% for a while now.

I've got all my money back - no problem. There is talk that it will not come back but until that is for sure, I have my fingers crossed!

Wait, I'm confused. You say you got the money back but then you say it isn't but you're crossing your fingers. Did you get the money back into your account?

The problem is that ebay had lowered the cashback amount from 30% to 20% and down to 8%. It stayed at 8% for a while, but it looks today like ebay isn't offering it at all anymore. We're hoping that ebay offers it again at a high %.

There's no problem in getting your money.

You may have missed the boat on this.
