No idea. Only because I'm not about to click on just some random link. Try typing out a description of what you think is a scam what the link is supposed to direct to. You know any sort of relevant information.

I'm not saying he's scamming, but it's pretty darn likely.
He is offering amazon giftcards @13000 $ per bitcoin, with no cash receipt, (so digital only?) and has -24 ratings.

Add these things up and you have a cocktail filled with immense risk.

I'd avoid him as the only way he can sell Amazon giftcards that cheap is by either fucking someone else over (hacking, etc.), or he's carding them/using them to launder other money.
(or the obvious: he's just scamming.)

Note: he also has +700 ratings, but, i've been a paxful seller, and it was really, really trivial to boost your account/ratings. there were entire groups of people () boosting each other into thousands of reps.

Also his ID verification is really no indication of his trustworthiness. It could be a photoshopped one, or if he's from a third world country he could've simply bought it for a few hundred bucks.

TLDR: If it seems too good be true....

so what do you suggest?
i need amazon gift card to buy a new phone
i dont have a credit card
only bitcoin

[Steamtyme]

Well I've never used the site so I don't really know the ins and outs. Looks weird they talk about amazon gift cards but place an itunes image. They do state you should release the funds after use of the card. So really you shouldn't have to take on any risk there, if you buy and use the card balance immediately.

The last review though states they were sold a used card, which means they are likely waiting for the chance to scam. Offer sounds fishy, and these cards are all likely the result of them scamming someone else to begin with if they are actually honoring this deal.

Edit:

Why not go to currency exchange or Services and create a thread that you are looking to sell BTC for an amazon gift card, or for someone to buy and reship for you with you paying in BTC. You will likely have to go first as your account doesn't have a lot of history, also be careful who you deal with. What country are you trying to buy from and ship to?

It should be obvious what to do.

Find other trusted sellers.

Since it's "bitcoin" you will really have a hard time finding legit ones.

I got yah. I just don't think you are being reasonable in your expectation to get it at a 20-30% discount. You are only going to find scammers and lose far more going that route. I'd have to look but there are reputable sites that do it at a near 1:1 ratio for some cards, so that might be your best bet. Most users will likely be looking to get a small percentage to provide the service, so you'll have to decide what works for you and your timeframe

More description please. Won't follow the link you posted.
If it is amazon gift cards and the sell is selling it for a very low price, then high chance its a scam. If he does have some reputation and has been selling for many days, then highly likely those are stolen or cracked gift cards. I would suggest not to buy those if you don't want to fall into trouble. Remember, if some offers are too good to be true, then there is actually something fishy.

what about this one

Again I don't use the platform, but the lack of negative ratings is a plus. They appear to have recent trades but with minimal messages left. I clicked sell just to see what rates they are giving and it seems to good to be true. So I wouldn't risk it, now that might just be me not being familiar with the site, maybe it changes when you try to engage them in a trade. I wouldn't risk it, I would try my earlier suggestion and find someone on forum who wants to do this.

Edit: You are also outside their trade limit of a minimum 500 USD. If you only want 300

Well you can find other seller since that one have more negative review from buyers.
Even you need it you also need to protect your self from scammers so the best suggestion for you is ignore that sellers and find new .

[akamit]

Paxful is a legit site similar to LocalBitcoins, but if you cannot find trusted sellers there then try another platform, such as LBC.

You may also check this thread, this guy deals with Amazon, not sure tho what he sales.

I haven't traded with this guy so I don't have personal experience or I'm endorsing him, but some other members traded with him. Research on your own if you intend to deal with him.

Paxful does recommend it a lot, but you need to try it, but don't make a lot of transactions for the trial period if all goes well, then you do as you wish.
I myself have never used Paxful because I often use the CEX exchange more easily.
