So what can I buy with an Ebay gift card that is similar to cash?–for example, can I use an ebay gift card to buy a Walmart or Amazon gift card?

There’s a lot of garbage on eBay. No one has time to look through all that stuff. I don’t know what Rupi is talking about. If you got two players usually what I do it use my second account and buy some stuff from my first account and then the buyer (my second account) cancels it and the seller (my first account) has to refund it. I wait it out like three days or so until the money is in the bank and then issues a refund by using the EBAY GIFT CARD as the form of payment. Bam! FUEB!

Not sure what you’re smoking, but seller can’t use an egay gc as a payment refund method. if that’s what youre saying (buyer pays with normal CC and seller refunds with GC). If the buyer used an egay gc as payment method then the refund goes back on the egay gc. So either way, you still have the full egay gc amount to liquidae.

Yeah, I think I got it wrong…obviously got a little carried away with my mansplaining! Thanks for setting me straight. I like the little spoof on ebay in your post; it’s pretty clever!

Bought a $200 gift card, got within a few minutes. Paid using my Citi DC so I should only end up paying $176.4 after rewards. If used correctly, should get around $213 worth of value, 95% of the time I get 6.5% back on eBay with C1S even when paying with gift cards. Should end up being a $36.60 MM for me, I buy a lot on eBay.

Anyone remember the golden age of churning, when eBay regularly ran gift card deals—and you could use the same cards you just bought to pay? Wild times…

I remember. We were young and careless then.

Personal favorite for me was buying Marriott Bonus Bucks and Premium Pounds certificates on EBay.

That saved me a ton of money on Marriott stays.
