An easy workaround is to just go into the sample map provided and copy paste their buy zones. At least untill you can get your buyzones working. I have found these examples helpfull since im new to hammer.

Place a brush over the area you want to be a buyzone (ie. create a box, at ground-level), apply the "nodraw" texture to it, and tie it to the "func_buyzone" entity. Then all you should have to do is open the properties up, and set it to either "terrorist" or "counter-terrorist".

Click on the surface that you want to be the buyzone. Right click it, and hit "Tie to entity." Then scroll through the options until you find "func_buyzone." Set whose buyzone it is, and you're all set.

Doesn't the player tend to fall through entities? Anyways, here is a hilarious picture, which shows how to make a buyzone.
