If you are shopping on eBay – make some of that money back!

Earning cashback rewards on KickItBack.com begins and ends with a very simple principle: eBay wants people to shop on eBay. One of eBay’s programs pays commissions to companies who bring shoppers to eBay.

KickItBack is using profit sharing on an affiliate program to generate revenue and referrals. This is not only generous, but very smart! And it is good for you too!

Another affiliate marketer that uses profit sharing for YOUR benefit is BigCrumbs. They have agreements with eBay and over 240 (and growing) popular retailers, such as Target, Old Navy, Gap, Circuit City, Best Buy, and more.

When you visit BigCrumbs.com before shopping online and click their links to reach these retailers, BigCrumbs.com is paid a marketing commission. They pass that commission on to you!

Membership in BigCrumbs.com is 100% free. There are no hidden costs and you don’t pay extra when shopping at their featured retailers. It’s really that simple!

People hate advertising on the internet. I do too. But I look at advertisers that employ profit sharing as very generous and worth taking a look at in these tough economic times. Also the main purpose of this blog is to help you help your bottom line. Up to 1% cash back might not seem like much, but those nickels and dimes eventually do add up.

Here’s another TIP. If you use your paypal debit card to pay for your purchases you get another 1.5% cash back from PayPal. Pretty nifty, huh?

Here’s how I use PayPal. At the beginning of the month, I transfer money to PayPal to cover my large regular expenses for the month that I know I can pay by debit or credit card. I know that I automatically have 1.5% more than what I deposited! PayPal also pays a much better interest rate than my regular bank does, so I don’t mind leaving the money sit in there for a couple of weeks until due dates near the end of the month.

If you employed my other TIP from the other day and enrolled in upromise for college savings, guess what? You go through KickItBack.com or BigCrumbs.com and save maybe 1% on your little bit of shopping. You pay for those purchases with your PayPal debit card and get another 1.5% cash back. And since you enrolled your paypal debit card with upromise, 8% of the value of that purchase just went into your college savings account.

And by using these techniques, you basically just gave yourself a 10% raise.

So now what do you think of those nickels and dimes? I’d love to hear your comments on these thrifty ideas, and if you have any others to add, please do so!
