making sense & tener/cobra sentido
To say "That makes sense" which is more correct:
Eso tiene sentido / Eso cobra sentido
To say "That doesn't make sense" which is more correct:
Eso no tiene sentido / Eso no cobra sentido
I ask because I've seen "No tiene sentido" and "Cobra sentido" but never "No cobra sentido"

Tener sentido o no tener sentido is correct! Cobrar sentido refers to something that you are beginning to understand; you are gaining knowledge as you are being explained the subject you are learning from. In that sense, no cobrar sentido is not appropriate and it does not make a lot of sense. I have never heard someone say that.
Great answer!
