I will probably go for the XM-L again... im weak for those. But i don't understand all the love for ebay. Afterall they charge them for 10% and the listing for doing exactly nothing in return. Would rather give the extra 10% to MF instead of ebay and perhaps save on shipping that way. I mean it's their call they can do it any way they like but not knowing their agenda looks alike a waste of resources to me.
For me it has also a serious disadvantage. If i order a few things my customs would not care for cashback and charge me taxes for the listing price... Not a true bargain if i order above 22€ in listed price on ebay. I wish MF would reconsider the methodology since most EU countries might have the same issues as i do. Unfortunately i have no better options to suggest to MF in that matter.
2$ for each item renders about half the offers not worth it (under 10% discount).
Budgeteer, it's probably a way to draw people from ebay to Manafont's store, since their prices are low to begin with, which puts them at the top of searches for lowest price.
Why don't they do it all the time, I don't know...
Since I live in the US, will I be charged $2 shipping for each item? Your ebay verbiage suggests that there is no shipping charge to the US. So shipping is free for US customers? I just want to be clear on that.
PM sent - purchased the 503B and the 18650 2 pack.
My join date of 1-2-11 seems to have barely made the 3 month membership. That "23-Jan-2010" better have been a typo because all I saw was "And you had it for over 3 months already?" which I have.
The last campaign it was $2 insured airmail for the whole package. I was initially charged $2 for each item, but the extra shipping charges were refunded.
And Jim, please, when you post again cashback, try to answer the same day in case we have questions. Now I can't buy XML because you haven't answered questions and no more dropins left Too bad.
And I think that the best form to do these cashback is buying from the web. Better for you (no ebay fees) and better for us (no +$2 for shipping). You only need to say what items you offer and how much. And every user will post here what he bought. And if someone buy 2 same items, you will sell 2, but only one with cashback offer. My 2 cents.
UPDATE: we can also create 2nd post (admin can edit it) with items and who bought them. For example:
Item1 - Ultrafire U20 x10
Users: xxx, yyy, uuu (10 units with offer, 3 users bought it, so 10-3=7)
i see where youre coming from. noticed that 2 people bought 2 each of the xml. i was tempted to buy it earlier even though i have'nt been here 3 months coz of the good price. i guess on the business side of it, all 10 units sold. but yeah there has to be a better way to get it to BLF members coz ne1 could have purchased it.
Let me clarify, there is a typo in the date. the correct is 21-Jan-2011. I have made the correction already.
For shipping, it is $2, you get Registered Air Mail. I'm afraid that Registered Air Mail is sort of compulsory on ebay. The excessive shipping fee will be Cash Back to you if you have purchased two items or more.
Just like what brted said, the shipping fee is for everyone, everywhere. Not location based. (Thanks Brted!)
And thank you Sashix for your suggestion. I'm sorry that I couldn't clarify the confusion the same day, we started this campaign very late in our timezone, because we wanted to make sure it would be daytime for the majority of BLF members, for we have learnt the lesson from the "You snooze, You lose" problem from the last compaign.
Too bad.
