US Buyers Save 30-40% on eBay Purchases – Nokia N85 for Less than $400
I just purchased the Nokia N85 on eBay for only $336 after cashback and a 10% coupon from Paypal. This works for US residents only and I’m not sure how long it will last. For the price, it’s a no-brainer. I’ll show you how it’s done.
Microsoft is currently offering 30% cashback on purchases made on eBay. Not sure when this lasts, but I suggest take advantage of it now before they drop it back to down to only 15%.
1. First, sign up for a Live Cashback account.
2. Then make sure the email account you signed up with is the same email account on your eBay account.
3. Go to Fonegrabber or The Nokia Blog Price Check to find the lowest prices on the latest Nokia phones listed on eBay. and add it to your watched list. For example: Nokia N85 price check.
4. Go to live.com and search for ps3, wii, or whatever as long as the eBay ad shows up above your search result.
5. Click on the eBay link then go to your watched list to buy the phone.
6. For an additional 10% off enter this coupon: CFALLSAVINGS10P which expires October 30th 2008. It works for some people, but many reported it doesn’t work. eBay randomly selected members for this coupon. I was one of the lucky ones.
7. Confirmation at the end of the purchase shows you how much cashback you are getting.
8. That’s it. Microsoft will send you the cashback within 60 days. Check your cashback account to confirm.

Hello from Ireland. Im desperate for the n85 (and a few other things)
Would I be able to use the following?
US ebay account
Paypal Account (setup with the EU card)
European Credit Card
US mail address (So address my card is registered to would be different to the US mailing address)
Sorry if that doesnt make sense.
