    The Ebay coupon "c-apr2006tech" is not working for me on a laptop purchase I just made. I keep getting the message "This Redemption Code cannot be used from your PayPal account."

    Does anyone know why this is happening? I thought it was good for any technology purchase.

    I am wondering - could this be related to the fact that my Ebay account unfortunately is registered on Ebay.ca (canada) as I originally lived there but am now in the US (and my paypal account has my US address?

    Thanks.

    You had to have been sent the code to your ebay account & to your email account which is linked to the PP account you use. Codes were sent in March, Mine just worked OK -$20 in April & the March code for 10% discount, but did not use fashion code
    If you just picked the code out of the ether it will not work.

    I am wondering - could this be related to the fact that my Ebay account unfortunately is registered on Ebay.ca (canada) as I originally lived there but am now in the US (and my paypal account has my US address?
    Did you contact ebay support ?

    I did contact both Ebay and Paypal. They had no particular answers other than I wasn't emailed the offer. Did this come to your Ebay email or your outside email (eg: hotmail). Perhaps however I was sent it long ago and deleted it. But I don't remember getting it.

    Another possibility is that I only have 9 feedbacks. Do you think it was sent only to members with 10 or > feedback messages?
