Money laundering is definitely a possibility since you can buy amazon gift cards directly from PayPal. I also think some items (not necessarily these gift cards) are being used as placeholder items for a product or service (drugs, etc). For instance I saw a very commonly available $2 bottle of salad dressing go for $20 the other day. I was intrigued and saw that a lot of items from the seller had sold for mulitples of their market value.
- gt_ 9y agoThis is interesting. I would expect eBay fees to crontradict the utility.
- paulcole 9y agoHow much does your money launderer charge?
- bbulkow 9y agoI saw a presentation at qcon last week by PayPal about contraband detection using image recognition, the example was a rose for 650 dollars. In the image was a handgun, in front of the roses. So that is a thing, and pp certainly has efforts to stop it, I assume eBay does too.
