I, too, had a recent **bleep**ing from eBay over eBay Bucks. I made a $565 purchase using eBay's checkout system. A week later, the seller sent me a PayPal invoice, notified me that my original payment was being refunded, and requested that I pay using the seller's invoice. Perhaps the seller was attempting to circumvent seller fees. At any rate, eBay has refused, and continued to refuse, to apply the earned eBay bucks. I keep getting canned email responses that seem like ebay is trying to shoehorn my problem into a "certificate redemption" problem, which appears to be rather common. At any rate, I sent eBay a string of transaction ID numbers explaining the transaction, but I feel as if I am talking to a child. I've given up, but have filed a complaint with the attoreny general in my state. Probably no help for me, but might help future victims.
