Full Price Options
See our List of Best Options for Full-Price Gift Cards on eBay. I usually only do those when I get 5x Bucks offers, but if you need one of those gift cards now it could be worthwhile.
Stacking the Deal
As always, you’ll also be able to get:
- 2% from the Shopathome portal, or go through Topcashback and get the 2% rate matched (see also Best Shopping Portal for eBay Purchases)
- 5x points when you pay with INK for gift cards from Paypal Digital Gifts
