cashback - signup ebay with linemypocket??

Hi guys,

I signed up ebay with linemypocket today as i need to buy something, and linemypocket said £3.25 Cashback when you sign up & bid at eBay, i joined thru this link.

However, the item that i am gonna purchase would be a "Buy it now" item, and therefore I dont need to "bid".

In this case, would they give me the cashback? or not? any1 tried?

cheers all

    I would have thought it was the same to buy it now as bid, but might be worth checking them.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up with an existing ebay account?

    TIA

    just place a bid on another item (one that you know you will get out bid on ) and you will be fine.

    I would have done that if i have the chance, but looks like the item that i would like to buy are ALL "buy it now" items instead of bidding... :(

    Just find a mobile that is worth about £100 then bid £1 or the starting bid.

    Gameplayer, in your first post you said that you had to enter a bid to get your money, the replies have suggested a way of entering a bid so why wouldn't it work assuming the information in your first post was correct?

    However, if you are having problems working out exactly how to qualify for a cash back offer then ask on the web site itself, maybe there is a user forum or something that can give a more accurate response.
