If you're willing to wait 60 days and can find what you want as a Buy It Now auction on Ebay, you can save 25% 20% off of ANYTHING, up to $200 total discount and up to 6 (or 12?) times.
To get the discount:
1. Goto www.live.com (a Microsoft website)
2. Search for something the the word "cheap" in it, like "cheap phone", "cheap ps3" or something else.
3. At the top of the results, there should be an ad that says "Buy [your search]. You may get 25% off with Paypal if eligible."
4. Click the link and it will bring up an Ebay search, but just input in the Ebay search bar whatever it is you're trying to find.
5. Find what you want and click Buy It Now
6. Before you have to commit to buying, you should see a little box that says how much your Microsoft cashback will be (it may say the auction is not eligible if they use a 3rd party payment system). If you don't see this, you're either doing something wrong, or I don't know.
7. After you buy, you'll get a message in your Ebay inbox about the cashback (it may take a couple hours) and you'll just have to sign up for an account on Microsoft (or use an existing one) and link it to your Ebay account.
8. Now, wait 60 days and then you get your money!
NOTE: if you're outside the US, I don't think you will be eligible, so don't blame me if it doesn't work. Also, they strictly enforce denying cashback for any shenanigans like you trying to sell something to yourself just to get the cashback or if they find that you informed your buyers on how to get the discount, or if you buy multiple auctions of the same item (maybe), or if you resell the item (you should probably wait until after you get your cashback).
