just noticed this while doing a search on live.com for the wii... basically eBay is giving 25-35% off pretty much anything on their site (only Buy It Now w/ PayPal items) through a Microsoft CashBack program. this is huge... you can get up to $250 back.
here are the terms and conditions on eBay's site: http://pages.ebay.com/cashbackoffer/terms.html
looks like you can do this up to 12 times with a max payout out 2500.
Edit by Moderator: Updated again. It'll drop to 20, 25, 15, back to 30, etc. Keep an eye out in this thread for more details.
It's legit.
If anyone comes across a 30% or 35% keyword, post it here!!
And for those doubters:

Got $104 back:
You received $104.52 from your eBay purchase on 12/3/2008:
Details cashback
NEW ARAI PROFILE FLAG ITALY LARGE/LG RACING HELMET
Unit price: $418.09
Quantity: 1
Final net cost with shipping: $313 and some change... [evil]
Another update, items max discount has been changed to $200. It used to be $250
Buddy did a buy it now on a $1000 item, got his $200.
Keep in mind, this applies to ANY ebay item with buy-it now and pay-pal.
Shift-Tech goodies, here I come :)
Too bad it's still eBay and PayPal. I've never used either since I got burned by both of them (at once) a few years ago.
paypal is the devil
they owe me over $3500
NEVER-AGAIN.
