Earn cash back each time you shop or sell on eBay. BigCrumbs is a free service that pays you cash back when you shop at eBay and their chain of retailers. You can earn cash back with their referral programs.

The logic behind it is that when you buy something on eBay, eBay will pay BigCrumbs when there is a sale. And BigCrumbs then divide a proportion of this to you through their rebate system.

How much can you really earn? We all know cash back systems are crap. See if the figures below interest you.

We take a calculation of:

Number of people that you refer = 5

Average number of people that your referrals refer = 5

Average amount spent by each referral monthly = 50

Your commission:

As you can see from the figure above, they only pay a measly $1.75 when friends you refer bought a total of $250 through the site. Unless you have a huge influential network, it will be fairly difficult to achieve the sales like above.

There are 2 types of membership in BigCrumbs:

• CrumbSavers – earn the highest possible cash-back reward on their own shopping and they earn cash when anyone they directly refer to BigCrumbs makes a purchase.
• CrumbEarners – earn a somewhat lower (but still very competitive) cash-back reward on their own shopping and also earn when their direct referrals shop.

For eBay sellers, you can list your eBay store on BigCrumbs. This way your shop will be easily seen by buyers who shop eBay via BigCrumbs as your store items will be automatically cataloged in their product database. When buyers search for products and comparison shop, they’ll see your items right along other retailers add your items to their wish lists.

There’s a pretty useful forum on the site. To join BigCrumbs, just go to www.bigcrumbs.com. Oh, did I mention that as of now, they only accept members from Ireland, US, UK, Canada and Australia.
