MattUpdate 6/23 at 9:24 AM - Title changes to reflect 25% back at this moment.
Beginning Disclaimer - I am just relaying what a friend showed me (and I actually followed the steps) but don't come angry at me if it doesn't work for you.
The upshot is that Microsoft is running a promotion by which you can get 35% back on BIN purchases paid with Paypal on ebay.
Steps:
1) Go here: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=lego+table&go=&form=QBRE
2) At the top, in the gray box, should be a link that says "you may get 35% with Paypal if eligible." If you don't see that link, search for something else that is often found on ebay.
3) Upon following the link, you will be sent to ebay, and can then search for anything you like. The filters are already set to only show BIN items.
4) Once you find what you want, click the BIN> button. You will get to confirm before you commit.
5) On the confirmation page, MAKE SURE IT SHOWS THE REFUND AMOUNT. If so, finish up and pay with Paypal.
The refund, 35% of the BIN up to $250, should appear later in your Paypal account, but after your purchase, you must sign up with the cashback program here:
https://cashbackaccount.search.live.com/cashback/welcome.aspx (which happens to be currently bombarded and slow)
ebay terms are here:

Ending Disclaimer: Again, I'm only relaying this in the spirit of trying to be helpful. I make no guaruntees that any of this will work, but it looks legit enough to me that I did it.
