Can You Exchange Other Gift Cards on eBay?
eBay allows you to sell other gift cards for cash. If you have new or used gift cards that you don’t want, you can put them up for sale on eBay. Alternatively, you can also auction gift cards on eBay and get the highest price for your card.
To put your gift card up for sale or auction, you need to provide the following information:
- Company name
- Value in dollars
- Expiration month and year
- Valid locations
Since there is no verification process when putting up the gift card, there is a high chance of getting scammed. Reddit has numerous threads about people who have gotten fake or empty gift cards. Although you should contact customer service immediately if you’ve been scammed, there have been incidents where eBay did not provide refunds.
