Hi.

I just recently received a $25 dollar "gift card" for E-bay. I didn't even know these cards existed, but, since then, I've been seeing them everywhere (Wallmart, Target, etc.).

It seems that this would be a good alternative way to make purchases from E-bay for those who don't have or want a Paypal account.

Has anyone here made an E-bay purchase with a gift card yet?

James.

I haven't used a gift card, but I have used a coupon - I assume that it would work the same way - you enter the number in on the ebay website and it adjusts the total due - so it seems logical that you could use them to pay the total balance . . .

More information is available at http://giftcard.ebay.com/

They also have list of places you can buy them. You can get them in $25 and $50 increments. Also, they have gift certificates available from $25-$500, but those require a paypal account to purchase. I didn't see of the retailers that looked like they were in the UK.
