PayPal Offering $20 in Holiday Rebates

Online transaction processor PayPal wants users to do their end-of-year holiday shopping online—and to encourage them, the company is offering customers cash rebates of up to $20 for using PayPal to pay for purchases on eBay and qualifying merchant sites in North America.

“With nearly 123 million PayPal accounts worldwide, we know that merchants see increased traffic and sales when they accept PayPal on their Web sites,” said Dana Stalder, PayPal’s senior VP of marketing and business operations. “We’re offering these incentives to reward our loyal buyers with even more reasons to use PayPal, which in turn, delivers even more shoppers and sales to our merchants this season.”

Under the plan, rebates will be available from November 23, 2006, through May 15, 2007, via online North American merchants offering PayPal Express Checkout—qualifying sites include major retailers and online vendors like PayPal’s parent company eBay, as well as Barnes & Noble, Dell, 1-800-Flowers.com, PetsMart, and more—PayPal says more than 100,000 merchants are eligible, and the company plans to give out $100 million in rebates over the program’s six-month run.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra share a lot of similarities -- the least of which is their brand name. Along with the capacity to vacuum and mop in a single cleaning cycle, the two robots can automatically empty their dustbins and clean their dirty mops once the cycle is complete. That alone makes them two of the best robot vacuums on the market.

But while there are plenty of similarities between the S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Pro Ultra, there are a few key differences that could make one better for your home than the other. From pricing and vacuuming power to navigational skills and more, here's a comprehensive look at the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra.
