Can someone make sense of this  

Ummmm are the cards collector's items or something? That just plan sounds stupid to me, maybe we're missing something but why would you pay more for something that has a set face value? Guess some people are just addicted to ebay bids or something. Need to start a 'bidders anomous' or something.

Hey I have a $5 Walmart card maybe I could get 7 or 8 for it :)

Hi Debs_place,



These always a scam whereever you turn, that is so bad, i always use cash, you ca't go wrong with that.

I would not buy these things. I would transfer my PayPal to my checking account and go to a local store and buy a gift card of my choice. I cannot figure out the upgraded cost of gift cards on e bay. It does not sound like a bargain to me. If a company does not do Pay Pal I often will not do business with them.

Sorry I might be dense, but cannot make sense of that. Well even counting on the fact that I would get free shipping... which would not be, since I would already be paying 10 or 12 dollars more over the price of the card...ok no matter which way I'm looking at it it doesn't make sense.
Maybe after I post this and see the rest of the responses I will understand, but so far....nope , no sense at all to me :)

That sounds a little silly. Are people actually bidding on these? Doesn't make much sense.

I don't see good deal baying gift cards form ebay. Go on site that let you to create any card you want, you can even upload any picture you like for your gift card.

Sorry I had to laugh on this! I know people want to make something out of an Ebay deal but $12?? That's downright extortion of the first degree. Sure you don't mind paying an extra dollar to two, but twelve? Gee! They must have people buying them otherwise why advertise for that price? If people are daft enough to pay over the odds for a gift card then more fool them! I certainly wouldn't entertain it my friend! Does the company accept Alertpay? I used to be Pro Paypal but now I am leaning more towards Alertpay, I wonder if Ebay will accept alertpay soon!

The deal is, there is no deal. These must be people who bought these gift cards, and no longer want them. They don't want to take a hit on what they purchased, so they upped the price just a little in order to make some profit. I don't know anyone that would buy these things though, when they could just go to the store and get them for the flat price.

Worse yet, maybe these are people who got them for free (maybe gifts, maybe stolen) and they want to make a good amount of money on them.

I would be skeptical of buying a gift card from a user on e-bay anyway. You never know if the money was already spent, or if they took the information on the card to use it before you can get to it.

To solve your dilemma, do you have a Paypal Debit Card? Since it works just like any other debit card, you could use that on the site instead of trying to use your Paypal ID.
