I'd write this off as a scam but it came through eBays message system

Congratulations, pixiamom!
To recognize and thank you for your commitment to helping others through your eBay Giving Works listings, you've been awarded a DonorsChoose gift certificate worth $100!
At DonorsChoose, public school teachers propose resources that their students need to learn.
Please spend this gift certificate to fund the proposal that speaks to you. Think of it as a shopping spree for students in need--where everything is free!
Best of all, you'll hear back from the kids in your classroom and know you've had a direct impact on their lives. On behalf of all those you help, we thank you for making a difference!
I tried to use it and the redemption code was invalid!

I received this yesterday. At first I was skeptical too, but after double-checking with ebay, I was able to use my certificate to donate $130 to some kids in need.
It seems that ebay sent these certificates out to many people yesterday, so could be the site was overwhelmed with higher than usual traffic when you went there.

It's for real - it worked for me. I only got $30 but it's better than nothing. Try again Pixiamom.
