    Cashback is never guaranteed and is so minimal it is hardly worth it IMHO. I would think that it should be paid if you actually transact and pay, so cannot see how they would know that you paid if you opt for cash.

    I would also remind you that you have no buyer protection unless you pay by Paypal.
  • Thanks for your reply..
    Yeah i know i won't get any buyer protection on it, As am picking the item up so no need for any protection. The seller said soon as i'll pay him he will mark as payment received in ebay. So i guess ebay would know that i paid for it would you think this will work?

    It is the most you could hope for. It may track when you 'buy' it in so much as hit the button. I don't know much about TcB I am afraid.

    Their eBay info is a little ambiguous....But despite a hyphen, I think they mean AND payment.
    Ebay have advised us that if you delete your cookies between the bid and payment, this will NOT track, so to increase your chances, only use TopCashBack to visit ebay and do not delete your cookies between a bid and auction end/payment. In addition, please ensure that you!use the same computer between bidding on and paying for a particular item.

    It only tracks if the tracking cookie is present for both the bid and payment so the seller marking it as paid will not work. You could try marking item as payment sent but this is a long shot.

    Just to say that when l won a Ebay auction bidding via TCB and undertook a cash on collection it was tracked and paid without problem. Would suggest op you post your question on TCB forum in case your still unsure.

    The usual time timescale l believe 1-2 days
  • I got cashback on the item I didn't use paypal for. Never crossed my mind it wouldn't tbh (Im a tad naiive, lol!) so very pleased it did as it was over £10!
