You can convert gift cards at a slight markup. You can also buy prepaid Visa gift cards on Amazon. I'd compare those options, see what has a lower transaction cost, and then use that to buy elsewhere. Amazon will still get business as a result, but it's a bit better ethically I think (if you go the Visa gift card route it's a low margin good that's easy to pack and ship, if you trade on an online marketplace presumably the person you trade with might buy a little more because of you but was going to buy on Amazon anyway) plus you avoid the quality issues.
