Question on Microsoft cashback

I just purchased an item from ebay using the Microsoft cashback and then made the payment via paypal. During the course of making payment, there was no asking me to login my Microsoft cashback account. It does say I have earned the cashback as follows:

Yes! Now you will have to go to your live.com account to check for the cashback to show up and it will be available in 60 days.

It still shows zero. Does it take some time to show it? Thanks

After you paid, it should have had a link for you to click on to claim the cashback. Once you do that you go back to live.com like powerslave said and check your account to make sure it is pending. Some people have reported that their cashback showed up in a couple hours, or even immediately. Right now I'm waiting on a $180 cashback for about a week. It will probably take the whole 60 days.

Mine took a few minutes to show up, I kept signing in and out and it finally showed up after the 3rd time.

I didn't see any link for me to claim the cashback. i thought there should be something like that, but there was none. it does say " You've earned $38.49 USD cashback! Your cashback will be available in your PayPal account in approximately 60 days."

UPDATE: OK, received an ebay message after the purchase and followed the instruction and now I claimed the cash back. Thanks to all.

Just for future reference, it took quite some time to show up for me, I think about a day.

yes it is but spending money just to save money is not... 10-22 40D, 28-135, 580EX II grrrr i have a love hate relationship with microsoft haha

for me it has been about a month and I havent seen anything, but everytime I call eBay they state they see it!

All my cashback purchases have gone smoothly with no problems and all the money was deposited in my Paypal account as promised after the 60 days.
