Topcashback now shows some big limitations on earning portal cash back for eBay purchases. The following categories are excluded:
- Bullion, Coins and other Money items
- Computers, Tablets and Networking
- Consumer Electronics
- Gift Cards & Coupons
We’ve noted previously that Ebates, Befrugal, and Upromise have a gift card exclusion. Now, Topcashback has joined them, something not particularly surprising given all the recent bad news relating to gift cards:
- Max $2,000 in eBay gift card usage per 60 days
- After October 13, you won’t be able to use eBay gift cards to buy third party gift cards
- After October 1, you won’t earn eBay Bucks on third party gift card purchases
The following portals are still showing the old terms which only exclude eBay branded gift cards and will hopefully work on third party gift cards: Givingassistant, Mrrebates, and Shopathome.
All Cartera shopping portals, including Splender and all the mileage portals, don’t have eBay at all at this time.
More surprising is the electronics exclusion from the Topcashback portal. Mrrebates is also showing that electronics exclusion, but not the gift card exclusion.
