So this month was the first time I spent enough to qualify for some ebay bucks.  Anyway, they expire the 2nd so I ended up using them.  My ebay order details shows the bucks taken off the total but when I go to paypal, the full amount is charged.  Is this normal?  Do I get credited later? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that is normal.  I found it to be odd, too.  If you click on the Paypal transaction it should show up as a discount, credit, or something to that effect.

I am not seeing any credit on my paypal activity page.  Just the full price being deducted.  The "view paypal transaction" on the ebay order details just links me to some error page giving me the option to logout or go to my account.

Scrolling down the transaction details for a purchase I made with eBay bucks shows this:

Funding Type:		Redemption Code
Funding Source:		$218.02 USD - Bucks Voucher #..........

Got ya, I just clicked on the transaction and it show paid with my ebay bucks coupon and the rest on my credit card...weird.  I just figured that the reduced amount would be shown on my activity page.  Thanks for the help.

Yes, I believe ebay bucks promotions are always targeted based on purchase history.  I believe you have to hit a certain amount per month before they send you the promotion

I am pretty sure that is not the case.

I prefaced my statement with "I believe" because it really is a guess on my part but your comment is not a helpful unless you give a counter theory or fact as too why some people receive the promotion and some dont.  Simply saying "I am pretty sure that is not the case" is not helpful to anyone.

My email was worded oddly saying 4% eBay bucks. Is this to confuse cause it's not actually 4x eBay bucks?

 I have only reached my ebay bucks quota once but I still receive every ebay bucks promotion.

Sometime in the past, someone contacted EBay because they were not receiving the EBay Bucks promotions.  I received every EBay Bucks promotion throughout 2014, last year I received zero.  This aligned with what the person who called EBay relayed to us.  Basically, you are selected or in a pool of folks who receive these promotions.  The pool is selected annually.  Those in the pool receive the promotions, those who aren't, do not.  I'm in the pool again for 2016, so I've received every promotion thus far.

I have 2 ebay accounts.  There have been times when I have received ebay bucks promos on both accounts and times where I have received ebay bucks promos on 1 of the 2 accounts.

Will calling because you are not receiving ebay bucks get you in the current years pool?

I've never been invited to the pool party. 

The bottom of my eBay email reads: eBay Inc. sent this e-mail to you at (email address) because your Notification Preferences indicate that you want to receive general email promotions.

My settings never changed, I was subscribed throughout last year and never received an Ebay Bucks promotion, but I did receive others.

Well, that sucks 'cause they're useless for most everything else when calling... Sorry guys...

I'm subscribed to everything and I never have gotten it. I get other promotions like free listings but not this.

I think this might be true.  I received every offer mentioned here in 2015, but have not received any this year yet.

Is it because you wear one of these?

^^^Alright, you are pushing the boundaries of my mod duties.  I've been called out for posting risque images too, but I might let this one burn in for a bit before I am forced to send it to the bit bucket.

I received two of the eBay buck promotions late last year.  When I got the first one I was hopeful that I would get them from then on.  But I only received one more and since then I've been back to only getting free listing or sell your old cell phone for a guaranteed amount  promotions.
