I tried purchasing 2 ebay giftcards this morning and my transaction didn’t go through because it was being coded as a cash advance. Did something change or is it something with giftcardmall?

Whats the current status on Sears taking gift cards as payment for other gift cards? Online and in store?

First, you’re wrong, both GiftCardMall and PP Digital Gifts earn eBay Bucks, at least they did so in the last couple of months. Only eBay GCs don’t earn eBay Bucks, for the obvious double dipping reasons. Second, it seems you can’t use Sears GCs to buy other GCs online, not even consolidate Sears GCs into one, but if someone had success doing that please let us know. However you may have more luck doing so in store. Registers are probably not hard coded to not allow such transactions, so it’ll depend on the store. Some people were able to buy Visa/Amazon GCs, using Sears GCs in some stores, I had found such a thread on flyertalk.

Giftcardmall (PP Digital Gifts) unfortunately don’t earn Ebay Bucks. 5x with Chase Ink will work though

Me too as well. Even if ebay GC was accepted, paypal charged full amount my default CC.

Also, I have InkBold and transaction was declined. I called Chase and CSR told me that this particular transactions is coming to them as “cash advance”(!), and InkBold does not support a CA.

Since when ebay transactions from giftcardmall are coded as CA?

I guess something is technically wrong. Ebay GC are not accepted for this purchase (“due to system error”).

Is it only me or others also have a problem applying ebay GCs to purchase sears gcs? I have $100 eBay GC and it only works for 1 Sears GC (which is $40). If I select 2 Sears GC ($80), the same eBay GC does not work – I got a message “code cannot be applied”.

Yah, for Sears GC it was weird. I could only use one gift card. I tried to use a gc with $5 balance and then applied another $100 gc but the $5 balance gc would just disappear. Got lucky and saw the $72 for $75 ebay gc and i used 3 gc on that with no prob.

I had the same problem. I could only order one of the Sears cards with ebay gift cards without a PayPal error.

That’s strange – I just used a $100 eBay gift card that I bought for $95 to pay and had no trouble.

Interesting. I can’t buy these gift cards with eBay gift cards. I don’t know why, just get this error message. “This coupon or code (1085-x) is invalid. You’re not able to use it with this payment.”
