Ebay is the best deal for college savings

01-31-2009 03:55 PM

My husband and I buy a lot of stuff on Ebay. I usually scope out the prices on retailer websites/stores for whatever it is that we need/want and then have my husband search for it on Ebay. We almost always get something new or never used, and we get 1% toward our daughter's college savings in the process! We still purchase items on other websites through the Upromise link (we also have the Upromosise toolbar installed on our computer), so we get the savings that way too. Those saving can range up to 8% toward her college fund. But overall, I love the fact that we get 1% from Ebay. My daughter is two-years-old now, so you can imagine how much that 1% will add up over the next 15 years. Thank you Upromise and Ebay!
