Troubleshooting if you have issues paying with a coupon
If you experience any issues paying with a coupon, the first thing to do is check you’ve entered the coupon code correctly.
If the coupon code is correct and you haven’t already used the coupon on another purchase, try the following:
- Confirm the coupon is still valid by checking the expiration date
- Make sure the coupon can be used for the item you’re buying and with your selected payment method by checking the terms & conditions
- Go to your eBay account and make sure the coupon is there
If you unexpectedly receive an error message, check that all your delivery details (including your telephone number) are correct, and make sure that you have not exceeded the maximum number of redemptions.
