Could anyone tell me the best cashback site to use for Ebay please?
I know the 100% sites offer the best rates, but they are not always the best for tracking and are not always the best at chasing them up as they don't have anything to gain by it, so I'm looking for the best all rounder, any help would be appreciated.

TIA :cheesy:

    TopCashback. We've made in the region of £25 in the last few months just from ebay purchases. With their new changes, you can also enquire about any amount now, not just amounts over £1.

    TopCashback give 40% cashback, I think (I assume you already know you only get a percentage of ebay's revenue back, not a percentage of the item's cost).

    Thankyou very much for your reply :D

    I love TCB, it is probably my favourite site, but so far it hasn't tracked any Ebay for me and they haven't been able to resolve any missing cashback for me either :confused:

    I believe they give 40% of the seller fee, but could you tell me how much that works out per £10.00 purchase? :wink:

    TIA

    Do you clear your cookies between buying and paying? A lot of people have the same problem, you need to keep the cookie in place between placing your bid and actually paying for the item.

    Assuming it's a £10.00 item with free P+P from a private seller, you'd get 40p (ebay fees = 10% of selling price, 40% of that quid is 40p).
    If it's a business, it'll be slightly less, private sellers have a higher FVF rate to offset their free listings. Ebay only take 8.75%, so it'd be 40% of 87.5p (35p... I think, it's too early for mental maths and I can't be bothered to break out a calculator :p).

    I've had 100% of items track on quidco. Even had items that were later refunded paid.

    Just to add confusion to the mix, it doesn't actually have to be the same cookie. (Dave doesn't do the buying, he's just going from what it says on the page :p)
    I have paid for things on different browsers and computers and it's still worked.

    Just make sure you click through to ebay from the cashback site everytime and it will work everytime.
    I keep firefox on clear when shut, and have tcb as my homepage, so it only ever goes through there.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    I use Topcashback for all my Ebay purchases and never have any problems and get 40% of the fees paid back in cashback. A few weeks ago they did a special promotional and was giving 50% back. Also if you qualify Topcashback give you extra cashback on top of whats being offered. The extra depends on how much cashback you earn.

    You only get cashback on items sold on ebay.co.uk though. You don't get anything if the item is listed on another Ebay site which is a shame as I spend a lot of money on other Ebay sites.
