Use Big Crumbs to promote your eBay store 


It used to be that Big Crumbs only had links to the big retailers on their site, but that changed in November of 2007. EBay sellers can now add their store to the database and Big Crumbs will import your listings into their product database for customers to search. This is one of the best changes that they have made, it just rocks.

Here's how Big Crumbs works. 



Big Crumbs is a rebates site just like Ebates.com. They have signed up as an affiliate with all of the stores listed on their website, when you shop through the site they receive a commission. Instead of keeping the commission all to themselves, they share it with you. If you're wondering where the money comes from, that's it, their affiliate commissions. There are no tricks or scamming involved.

Big Crumbs is a great way to earn cash back on domain purchases 


$7.49.com sale at GoDaddy.com 336x280If you purchase a lot of domains for yourself, Big Crumbs is a great way to earn cash back on your domain purchases. My results may or not be typical, but my last domain purchase I earned $.75 back on a $7.49 purchase. It's not much, but if you purchase a lot of domains it's a great way to receive a discount on your purchase.

Is Big Crumbs a Scam? 

You may have come here looking to verify if Big Crumbs is a scam. I'm not going to try to change your mind, I'll just give you the facts from my experience.

1. I have never paid a dime to Big Crumbs, I have not lost any money from being a member.

2. My eBay ID has NEVER been compromised.

3. I have never received SPAM from being a member of Big Crumbs so I know they have not sold my email address. In fact, I think they could use just a couple more reminder emails to members.

4. I have been paid on the 15th of every month or sooner since I've been eligible for rebates.

5. I am not required to get referrals to get rebates for my personal shopping.

6. I am not required to make a purchase every month in order to get paid. I like this point the most.

These are the facts from my experience. You can decide for yourself now.

If you like how Big Crumbs works, tell a friend. 



Big Crumbs has a referral program also. Try it out for yourself first. If you like how they work, tell some friends through their referral program. Keep in mind that this isn't necessary, it's just an added bonus.

They send your bonuses to your Paypal account monthly for rebates 2 months in arrears. So if you purchased something in July, you will receive your rebate in September. They have signed up for the mass payment program at Paypal so the most you will ever have taken out of your rebate is $1 for every $10,000 earned.

Crumbearner or Crumbsaver? 

If you like the concept of getting cash back for your purchases and have decided to sign up, then you do have to make one decision: whether to sign up as a Crumbearner or Crumbsaver. Here the definitions, benefits, and downfalls of both.

Crumbearner - If you don't like the referral aspect of Big Crumbs, but you do want to get cash back for your purchases, then sign up as a Crumbearner. You will receive more cash back for your own purchases. Money is still earned from the people you directly refer, but you will not get more bonuses on top of that. On the plus side, you can change your mind and switch to becoming a Crumbsaver if you so choose.

Crumbsaver - As a Crumbsaver, you will not get as much cash back for your own purchases, but if you like the referral aspect of Big Crumbs, then you can earn money from the people that you refer as well as those that your friends have referred.

Definition of scam from Wikipedia 

I know there are tons of scams out there with people trying to dupe you out of your money, but you are not paying anything to Big Crumbs and they are just sharing affiliate revenue paid by the retailers with you. Doing your research on things is very important so I've included the definition of scam from Wikipedia for your reference.

For your reference, here is the definition of scam at Consumerfraudreporting.org also.

A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, hustle, scam, scheme, or swindle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence. The victim is known as the mark, the trickster is called a confidence man, con man, or con artist, and any accomplices are known as shills. Confidence men exploit human characteristics such as greed and dishonesty, and have victimized individuals from all walks of life.

Pyramid scheme definition from Wikipedia. 

There are many people around calling Big Crumbs a "Pyramid Scheme", but because you are not paying money to get cash back for your purchases it does not qualify as a Pyramid Scheme. A pyramid scheme will require you to pay money to join, the people at the top earn commissions off of the money that you paid. Eventually, the people at the bottom never get paid because either too many people have joined already or there's no money left.
