Nope as the ebay coupon is one time use, but tried 500 same error message
I hear, maybe there is an extra space in the beginning or the end of the code
Call ebay/ paypal tomorrow and complain?

I opened an ebay account for my wife to get the $50 ebay gc if you sell $25 worth of stuff within the next few days, do you think its a problem if I buy the item from my ebay account? If she really sold it, she would pay paypal and ebay fees anyway, so we would lose that money anyway

I know plenty of people who have done that successfully but they are pretty good at catching these things

I would strongly advise against that.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

When creating a eBay account, does the address have to match the banking account address used with PP?

No.

Im looking to purchase a laptop on ebay.
I'd like to buy the gift cards from staples for 5x but also want Amex warranty.
If I do most via gift card and pay remainder with Amex is it covered?
