did they change ebucks?

I won a lot yesterday that I haven't paid for yet. Happily, today I got a 5% ebucks offer. Unfortunately, at checkout it's not showing up (just the usual 1%). But when I add other stuff to the cart, the other stuff checks in at 5%.

In the past I swear that the ebucks bonus applied to anything you're paying for (provided that it meets the offer conditions, which all of this stuff does), regardless of when you won the auction. Is that true, or is my memory playing tricks on me? (Also possible.)

Your mind is not playing tricks on you - only items won or bought after the ebay bucks coupon is issued are valid for the 5%. It used to be different, but I think it changed about a year or so ago.

I committed to buy several items from the same seller this past Saturday evening. The ebay bucks offer, I received either late Sunday night or early this morning. I just went in paid and received the 5%.
