Re: How to earn from Ebay

I think upromise is definitely worth it.  You have to read the details for each company in the program and follow the rules, a little extra effort - but I think is worth it.  In just 5 years I have earned over $1700 back!  I the last 5 years, I only had to contact upromise twice for a missing contribution - one for ebay, one for shoebuy.com.  I have learned you just have to have patience.  And when a company says 45-60 days - it is 60 business days - do not include weekends or holidays.

 

I agree with your Amazon.com comment.  To get the best possible price every purchase could be researched and analyzed at multiple stores to find the best overall price.  Sometimes you take the time to do it... and other times you don't.  I shop at Amazon all the time for Books, movies, etc... since their price is normally lower than other places.  However I go through Goodsearch.com to get to the Amazon site - and then my children's school will get back 1.5% of my purchase.  I figure if I can't get the rebate back, at least the local school can get it.  Check out Goodsearch and see if any of your local schools or other local charities are in the program - then at least they can benefit from your Amazon purchases.
