15% Coupon "PICKSOON" Not Working

[gregzoe1]

Tried using it to buy an item that meets the qualifications and keep getting this message:

"This code can't be applied to your order."

It was supposed to be valid until 6:00PM PT, but I am wondering it is Eastern Time? Anyone else having this issue?

It ends at 6pm pacific. Have you already used the coupon by any chance? The purchase is at least $25 too right?

[auction_brokers]

No I haven't used it and the item is priced at $400.00. It's really strange, I have never had this issue before with Ebay coupons.

Did you select paypal as the payment method? I'm wondering if thats the problem? The TOS doesn't say paypal required but it wouldn't surprise me if important terms were left out. You aren't paying with an ebay giftcard either, are you? There seems to be an issue with the coupon, the common denominator I found was that the buyers are registered in the US but have non-US paypal accounts.

I am paying with Paypal and not using a giftcard. I've tried just about everything and keep getting the same message. I will keep trying, hopefully it is a glitch that will get corrected before 6:PM PT.

IT's 6 PM PST, which is 9:00 Eastern Time.  I'm in the Eastern time zone and used it a little bit ago.

Maybe clear your cache and cookies?  Change browsers?  Or device?

[gregzoe1]

Ok, so you used it after 6:00PM Eastern Time and it worked?

I tried clearing my cache/cookies and tried a different browser but still no luck.

Not by chance a seller who is opted into ebays managed payment & doesn't accept Paypal is it.
Check the shipping & payment tab for the heck of it !!!

[gregzoe1]

Yes he does accept Paypal.

I don't think I've ever seen this many threads about a coupon just flat out not working. It's always been an issue like people not realizing it was only certain sellers or not "activating" the discount or whatever.

It will be interesting to see if we ever find out what the problem was for the frustrated buyers posting these threads.

Happy to announce mine worked just fine.

Yes, I think it was after 6 because I didn't get home until almost 6 and I did not pay right away.  So it must have been.  Were you trying to pay on your phone?

I use a computer.  Just a thought.

One thing that struck me was the one purchase qualifier.  I take that to mean that you couldn't bundle things in the cart and then apply the coupon code to all.

I thought of something else I wanted to buy after I paid for an auction I won while I was out today, and tried the code and it said I already applied it.  Somehow I read the details and thought you could keep using said coupon code, but it did not work that way.

I am in NJ and just placed my order it went through without an issue.
We have to be missing something
Paypal (Yes)
Over $25.00 (Yes)
Within Time Frame (Yes)
Located in USA  or Canada ?
Buying from  ebay.com or ebay.ca
PayPal Credit Easy Payments  Yes or no ?

If you do everything correct & can't get your discount it will be a shame 
$400 is a nice purchase to save 15% on

OP, really hope you can get that to work.  Keep trying!  You have until 9, Eastern Time.
