I think there was some promotion  since the phone was only $40, but when I purchased it the ebay bucks said earn $10.80 in ebay bucks.  When I checked my account it only shows $0.80.  Not sure what I need to do to get the other $10

Ebay bucks would not give you $10 on a $40 purchase.  I don't know the amount but i'd guess it's closer to 1% than 25%

Pretty sure what you saw was an ebay promotional add trying to get you to sign up for "Bill me Later."

 

It goes Something like -  "get $10 in ebay bucks when you sign up for Bill me later."

The other $10 in ebay bucks would have been if you signed up for "bill me later" to pay for the item. "Bill me later" is a high rate credit service that will cost you way more than the $10 in ebay bucks you would have gotten had you paid that way.

That is a glitch that eBay is aware of and attempting to fix-the eBay Bucks you received is the correct amount for that item.

I have a screen shot showing that there is a bonus offer I am attatching, I do not have the screen shot of the phone I bought, but mine said the same.  This is approx a $40 phone showing a bonus offer to give approx $11 in ebay bucks.  I had a similar offer showing $10.80

Click on Customer Support-top right of the screen.

I spoke with them already about this and they confirmed it is a glitch-the eBay Bucks and the Bill Me Later offers are 2 different things.

 

Good luck
