eBay Bucks

by Jérôme ~ October 21, 2009

A friend of mine pointed me out a great deal on eBay today. I’m not a compulsive buyer, but it sounded too good to pass it. I did it, I click the Buy It Now button. I had the eBay Bucks, well, almost nothing, just 19¢. At the check out on PayPal, I did what everybody is doing, change the founding source from my checking account to my credit card. No way, I want to buy something with my bank account, that’s why credit cards are, aren’t they?
When I applied the coupon eBay gave me to redeemed my 19¢, the fouding source came back to my checking and impossible to change it. I tried to find in the eBay website why I couldn’t use other source than my checking account and, as expected, I couldn’t find anything.

Be sure that either the eBay Bucks certificates cover the price when you use them or you will have to use your PayPal balance or your checking account to use the eBay Bucks.
