The Offer
- $95 for $100 eBay e-gift card from Paypal Digital Gifts on eBay. Limit 1.
- $90 for $100 Lowe’s physical gift card from Giftcardmall on eBay. Limit 2.
- $57 Sephora e-gift card for just $50 from Paypal Digital Gifts on eBay. Limit 3.
- $100 CVS gift card for just $88 from SVM on eBay. Limit 3.
Our Verdict
A few ways to sweeten the deal:
- You’ll earn 2% back in eBay Bucks or 10% back if you were targeted today for that offer (besides for the eBay gift card which won’t earn Bucks)
- Pay with Chase INK and get 5x UR points on the purchase for the e-gift cards (but not for the Lowe’s and CVS deals – more details here)
- Go through a portal and get 2% back from Shopathome (you can also go through Topcashback and get the 2% rate matched) or get 2 Alaska miles per dollar or get 5-10 via Aeroplan; this won’t always work for the eBay gift card deal, but it will for the others
- Use eBay gift cards purchased at a discount to purchase the Lowe’s gift cards or even to purchase the eBay gift card
There seems to be a whole bunch of both of these available (over 5k of both as of 11am EST). You can try buying the eBay gift card and using that to buy the Lowe’s gift card. Bear in mind that it does take up to 24 hours for the eBay gift card to arrive and another ~4 hours until it’s active.
For those who were targeted with the 5x eBay Bucks offer, there are some reselling opportunities here; we wrote more about that in our post on the 5x Bucks offer.
Just a heads up for anyone that got the Lowes GCs, I recieved mine today however they both have $0 balance on them. Check them before you try to use or resell them.
Will do, thanks
Is it against the terms and conditions to purchase eBay gift cards with eBay gift cards? I don’t want to be blacklisted from PayPal digital gifts for rolling eBay gift cards.
theoretically yes… but i have been doing it at least once a week and never had an issue.
i think the worst that can happen is that they stop allowing it.
Yea, it’s officially not allowed. Never heard of anyone having trouble yet.
It looks to me like they’ve blocked it for my account. I was able to use the gift cards on other purchases, but not for any ebay gift card purchase, mail or digital. I get the message that the code cannot be applied to my purchase. Then again, I’m not sure if it is a result of their mysterious limits as well.
CVS card out of stock now.
Keeps erroring out on me when I try to check out – can I only take advantage of this once every few months?

it looks like eBay Bucks are no longer awarded for eBay gift card purchases from PayPal Digital Gifts
Only eBay gift cards don’t earn. Others do.
Losing money when reselling Lowe’s if no special bucks promo…
Chuck: the (more details here) part doesn’t have a clickable link 😉
Fixed, thanks
these $95 eBay cards were offered October 9,15, 21… i see a pattern here… i guess October 27 will be next? 😉
Interesting…
