wtf - designer bottled water...

ummm, are you serious?


136 yen = $1.50, not the that expensive, but still.. in my opinion it cheapens the Gaultier brand..

also, don't drink bottled water.. its extremely bad for the environment.. tap water is even better for you (fluoride)

30% Cash Back for Buy It Now Ebay Purchases

If you're looking to get a deal on ebay, please be aware that you can get an additional 30% cashback on Buy It Now purchases if you follow a couple steps. Even though they may seem a little complicated, I can tell you from my experience that it is well worth it.

You basically, have to go to live.com and create an account if you don't have an existing live.com or hotmail.com account. You then tie that account to your paypal account (either new or existing). When you've come across an item you like, you copy the item title into live.com and reach the ebay page through the live.com search. In the same browser session, and within an hour, you then have to purchase the item and pay for it with the paypal account that is tied to your live.com (hotmail) account.

This is very valuable if you've been waiting to pick up some items or if you want to pick up gifts for the Christmas season.

Here's a complete set of detailed instructions from ebay:

eBay Terms
for Live Search Cashback Rewards

Your participation in the Microsoft Live Search cashback program ("Cashback Program"), is subject to the Microsoft Service Agreement at http://tou.live.com (the "Program Terms"), and these eBay Terms. In the event of a conflict between the Program Terms and the eBay Terms, the eBay Terms shall apply.

1. Cashback Program
   The Microsoft Live Search Cashback Program provides cashback for up to 12 qualifying purchases per account on www.ebay.com. The amount of cashback will be determined by eBay, specified at the time of checkout on the "purchase review page" and equal to a percentage of the sale price (excluding shipping and handling fees, insurance fees and other such fees) ("Cashback Rewards"). The maximum amount of Cashback Rewards per qualifying purchase is $200.00 USD. In addition, all Cashback Rewards (including Cashback Rewards earned in connection with purchases made on websites other than www.eBay.com) are subject to the annual $2,500.00 per person cap set forth in the Program Terms.
   
   
2. Eligibility
   You are eligible to participate in the Cashback Program as long as you: (a) are at least 18 years of age and reside in the United States, (b) have a confirmed US eBay.com account in good standing, (c) have a verified US PayPal account in good standing, (d) have a Microsoft Cashback Program Account in good standing; and (e) comply with the eBay Terms and the Program Terms. In order for your accounts to be in good standing, they must not be limited or suspended.
   
   
3. Qualifying Purchase
   To make a qualifying purchase, you must do all of the following:
   
   
   • Search for an eBay.com item on www.live.com.
     
     
   • Click on an eBay.com sponsored advertisement on www.live.com that has the cashback icon a gold circle with a dollar sign, next to the advertisement. When you click on the advertisement, you will begin an online session. Sponsored advertisements typically appear at the top or along the right hand side of the page of a www.live.com search results page in a shaded or colored area of the page.
     
     
   • Purchase an eligible eBay.com Buy-It-Now item using PayPal within 60 minutes of the time you began the online session. Cashback Rewards will apply only to the first eligible item you commit to buy during an online session. You may make only one qualifying purchase per online session.
     
     
   • To make additional qualifying purchases, you must repeat each of these steps including initiating a new search on www.live.com.
   
   
4. Receiving Cashback Rewards
   After your first eligible purchase is completed, you must go to My Messages on eBay.com and look for a message from eBay with "cashback" in the subject line. Click the "Get Cashback" link or button in the message to set up a Cashback Program account with Microsoft by providing all information required by Microsoft (or, if you already have a Cashback Program account, log into your account in order to associate your eBay purchases with that account).
   
   Once you have created a Cashback Program account and have logged in to associate your eBay purchases with your account as described above, the Cashback Rewards will be available in your Cashback Program account approximately sixty (60) days after you pay for your qualifying purchase. PayPal in its discretion may decide to pay your Cashback Rewards more quickly on a case by case basis. Cashback rewards are issued to the PayPal account you used to make the qualifying purchase on eBay.com.
   
   
5. Limitations
   Only certain items selected by eBay from time to time in its sole discretion will be eligible for Cashback Rewards. eBay will notify you on the purchase review page of the Buy-It-Now transaction process if the item you wish to purchase is not eligible. Please review the purchase review page carefully before you commit to buy an item. Please note, the following will always be ineligible for Cashback Rewards: purchases that are completed on www.express.ebay.com or www.half.ebay.com; purchases of automobiles or other vehicles; purchases of real estate. Cashback Rewards cannot be transferred or applied to multiple eBay.com accounts.
