 If you can't use them because you have rubbed the codes off you need to seek help from the gift card issuer.

This would be nothing to do with your seller or eBay.

 

Do as advised and see if you can contact the card issuer (there's usually a serial code on the gift card as well as the bit that you rub off, and they may be able to help if this is the case). Be aware that you may have lost your money here if the issuer can't help.

I'm the purchaser. The store doesn't take returns.

Why should they take a return for something you have damaged?

The cards haven't been used at all.  And I have receipts

Was told that this could be fixed. And I think the codes should be a little more durable

But your actions may have made them unusable, the receipts may help the issuer reinstate the value for you.

Ah, the place where ebay gift cards are available,  unlike here in the UK.  Explains a lot.

What does that mean, even?

 

In your opening post you stated "I rubbed part of the code off two cards".
