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

Either the seller got a great deal, or is about to get scammed with a PayPal transaction reversal.

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.

there should also be a rule that is someone scams you you have a right to go round to them and beat the s**t out of them...

sellers going to get scammed

[redzero36]

[tacoman71]
