It just pisses some people off when they're outbid.

Unless it's somehow a collector's item, that doesn't make much sense.  Think that happens occasionally on e-bay though.

Either the seller got a great deal, or is about to get scammed with a PayPal transaction reversal.
Lolz that's what I was thinking

Hmm I wonder which one is more likely...


I hate seeing these to be honest. There should be a cap when selling straight no collector value gift cards. They should be lucky to get 90% face value imo. I mean what intensive is there to buy gift cards from 3rd parties unless you are getting a deal? Am I missing something here too?

On ebay, you have protection when you sell something.
But the buyer can cancel the transaction and refuse to pay for the object.
