Ebay denied my bucks bonus yesterday. Has this happened to you in January 2021 ?
I captured an image from yesterday's "code cannot be applied to your order"
I reloaded 3 times and same result, so I settled up the usual way.
Anyone else experience a bucks denial this month ?
I used bucks successfully today for a different license plate. I know, these are not coinage, but I am an error coin collector & I figure we all love using our quarterly ebay bucks.

No problem redeeming my eBay Bucks this month!

I’ve been using eBay Bucks since they started and I’ve never had to input a code.
I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!

Spent my paltry $4.89 on a six pack of socks and it was accepted.

Seems it was a glitch. I was looking forward to an almost free purchase.
Worked today on a completely free transaction with no problems, as it has forever,
& says I got change left to spend.

What's that "extra charge from the seller .95?"

I got a great deal on a couple of these and would hate to see them get wedged in a machine, thus I asked for the 95cents upcharge. I wondered if that triggered the glitch. It could have as no one else here suffered from yesterday's bucks fail.

Shouldn't have to put in the code, just check the box to apply the bucks.

I have never entered the code...I just click on that box (to the left of the words "ebay bucks") and the eBay bucks automatically apply themselves.
Box was checked = denied.
Code cut and paste = denied.
I'm guessing what you got when you checked the box was an error code, which obviously won't be valid for receiving a discount.
Did you activate it from the ebay message? I believe it must be activated.

This is page that popped up after I checked the box or inserted cut and paste code to be applied to order.
Maybe ebay bucks system was wonky yesterday afternoon ?
I just clicked the box and got to use my fifty-two cents a couple of days ago.

OK sorry, I see now that eBay Bucks also comes with a code. I just never use it, so forgot about that option.
When I used my eBay bucks I had to insert the code after checking the box.
