Ok, so let me explain how BigCrumbs works to save you money when making purchases using eBay.
First of all, BigCrumbs is free.
Second of all, you will need a PayPal account to receive any cash back that you receive using BigCrumbs.
Basically, you get 20%-36% of the seller’s fees in cash back when you shop depending on what type of account you establish.
What this means is the following:
eBay charges a fee to sellers to post items on their website. If you place a winning bid on an eBay auction through BigCrumbs, you will receive 20%-36% of the amount it cost the seller to place that specific auction on eBay.
For example:
Imagine that there is a seller that is selling a signed copy of a Harry Potter book and that it cost him/her $20 to post this item on eBay. If I place a bid and I happen to win this auction, I would receive 20%-36% of $20 or $4 - $7.2. This money would go straight into my PayPal account at the end of each month.
Click on the following link to see a screen shot of my BigCrumbs cash back amounts.
If you clicked on the picture link then you would have seen an “Amount” column that displays the amount the seller paid to place that particular auction on eBay and a “Cash Back” column. This “Cash Back” column is the money that I received for winning that auction just for placing my bid through Big Crumbs.
I am writing this information using eBay as an example, but this site is not only restricted to making purchases on eBay. There are about 130 different retailers that you can shop through and save. Some of these names include Aeropostale, 1-800-flowers, Best Buy, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
And for those interested, Big Crumbs does offer a referral awards service where if you have people signed up underneath you; you receive a certain percentage of the amount of money that they save from their purchases. Please click here to view an example of how much you can earn just by referrals.
Basically, that is all there is to it. The hardest part is having to open up the BigCrumbs website and logging onto eBay through them, but that process takes about a minute and the money that you save is worth it. Or if you want, you can create a custom “Big Crumbs” link that you use which saves you the time of having to log into Big Crumbs in the first place.
I hope this explanation is helpful.
For more information please see the Big Crumbs FAQ.

If you do decide to open up a Big Crumbs account, please feel free to open up an account using “yoyoclock” as your referrer.
Have fun eBaying!
