You shouldn't buy gift cards from any of the P2P trading site like paxful or localbitcoins because scammer can just claim that you are the one who have redeemed it and you don't have any way to prove it. Moderator or so called escrow those sites also don't have access to such detail they just go with sellers claim.

You can use purse.io to directly buy from amazon with some discounts, why to go with this gift cards.

Hi thanks for your advice . I use purse sometimes
Also I used localbitcoins more than 8 times  I never had a problem  its first time i use paxful
I'm a dropshiper and I need daily many vouchers
Purse if I didn't put a competitive discount like 5% or 10% my offer will stay there for days
So I need something to get some profit margin .
However I looked for a person with reasonable price it was 30% and he has account for more than 6 months and good reviews so I said okay maybe he is honest man .. So i got f...
However also by taking a look and a small comparison with localbitcoins
Take a look to those peoples in the first page most they opened accounts hours  ago and they sell vouchers for 10 times its value
And the joke is some of them say release btc send SMS then you get voucher Hh so why he use escrow service If a person should release first then he get his voucher
Another one write release first and I pay later
And Paxful allows those ads
 https://paxful.com/sell-bitcoin  It's the biggest scam heaven in btc world .
I never saw this mess in localbitcoins to be honest

And after reading more about Paxful
I heard the owners or arrested for drugs maybe so I guess they are still arrested so there is no one to organize or to run that platform .
