1) Go to www.live.com - an MSN site.
2)type in "xbox 360" (I think any product search will work--this is simply the example that was used...and it works).
3) At the top of the search results page there will be a link for ebay - 25% off with paypal purchases.
4) Click this link and you will be taken to ebay--a green "Microsoft cashback" icon will now be at the top of your ebay page.
5) The award will be applied for all ebay purchases made using paypal on BIN auctions only, with a max reward of $200. (You will be notified before confirming whether the purchase qualifies for the offer.)
6) the discount is a cashback offer for using live.com. You have to create an account with them in order to receive the rebate, but it appears to be a completely legitimate offer, based on other C&Vers experiences. (Full disclosure: I have yet to use the discount, so I can't confirm its legitimacy.)

Hope this helps.
