How I Get Cash Back 3x On eBay

Every time I shop for a deal online, I always give eBay a gander even though I hate selling stuff on eBay. If I do find something for a great price, I have a routine so that I can get a lot of cash back.

All it takes is a cashback credit card, an account at a cashback rebate site, and an account in the prestigious eBay Bucks program.

These are the places I get cash back from:

  • FatWallet.com. There are many other cash back shopping sites out there but I’m a loyal FatWallet user so I stick with them even those their affiliation with eBay only gives the users 1% cashback. I always visit FatWallet first to use the tracking link to eBay.
  • eBay Bucks. Since I was lucky enough to be invited to this program, it never hurt to sign up and get 2% cashback every time I shopped on eBay. Even if the rewards are applied to future purchases, it is much better than nothing.
  • Cashback Citicard. The main reason I got a credit card was for the cash back. So, I’m going to abuse it whenever I can. Once again, 1% is not much but it adds up. Because eBay Bucks works only when I use Paypal, I usually move my Paypal balance into my bank account and use the credit card through Paypal.

A few days ago, I purchased 1GB RAM for $33.97 and used everything listed above. My total cashback was $1.36… Every penny counts in personal finance.

    You can get 10% cashback at eBay through Bing.com cashback right now. That would be a lot higher percentage than what you’re currently getting.

    @Andy: You’re right. Bing.com just made it a sweet deal today to shop through them. I do believe that it doesn’t work with every listing on eBay. I’ll give Bing.com a try the next time I buy something on eBay. Maybe it’ll be my next favorite cashback site.
