Bought something recently on ebay and have 5.25 ebay bucks.
Then it says

Does this mean i can’t spend those $5.25 ebay bucks until april 3rd? Im confused because if so… why would they tell me i have 5.25 in ebay bucks if i cant use it till april 3rd? And if so, how long do i have to use these ebay bucks?
Exactly. You can’t spend them until then. It’s just their way of trying to keep you coming back to the site on a regular basis, earning and spending ebay points.
You have 30 days to spend them from the time they become available.
