- pt 16y agoFrom what I have heard, people in Europe wanting to buy Amazon MP3's are always looking for Amazon gift cards on ebay. Likely because Amazon accepts only US credit cards for music purchase?
- phamilton 16y agoOne user says they use a credit card with cash back on ebay. Interesting concept. Buy $1000 worth of $20 gift cards at face value, sell on eBay. Cash back at 1% is 10 bucks. It is some profit. Not sure if it's worth handling 50 ebay listings, and listing fees probably negate it.
- cd34 16y agoFor people in certain countries, it is a way to launder their PayPal balance for something easier to spend. It can also be used to twink an ebay account. Buy a few dozen cards, get 12-15 positive feedbacks, wait 60-90 days until the items can't be verified on your feedback, scam sellers and get a much larger payoff. Europeans often purchase the cards so that they can buy product, etc.
