[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 390824, member: 5629"]This "offer" is working off the premise that the $1250 purchase, utilizing the Live.com cashback service, would refund $250 in cashback rewards, thus costing the purchaser only $1000. Since the money order or cash being sent is $1120, the buyer makes out with $120. Meanwhile, the seller makes out with roughly the same out of the deal. The problem with this is 1) is the seller actually a live.com advertiser and thus eligible to even offer the cashback reward (the "advertiser" is required to report the cashback to MS), 2) did the purchaser utilize a live.com cashback link to get to the auction as required for the cashback service, and 3) even if #1 and #2 above are true, this is collusion, and a hurtful practice to MS (because of the collusion), and thus violates the terms of use, so MS won't have to pay on it anyway. It's just a matter of time before the buyers find out that they've been had, and MS goes after the seller for fraudulent use of their services. And since the MS live.com cashback takes 60 days to post, the seller will most likely be clear of negatives by that time. All in all, it's still a scam.[/QUOTE]
