Selling a Giftcard - buyer wants code via Ebay

[melaniep101]

Hi all

I have a listing for a gift card to which a buyer has requested that I email the code on purchase.  Is there an Ebay policy against this?

Thanks

Melanie

Please listen to me - emailing that code isn't safe.

Not only that, but if you sell that on here you will very likely lose every single penny.

None of the seller protection policies that matter cover the sale of that item - that means the buyer can reverse the payment after they've spent the card.

You should ONLY sell that on a local collection site where you can hand it to the buyer in exchange for currency.

Thanks for replying t-20 - Very sensible advice! I just called Ebay and they confirmed that I shouldn't sell to this member - glad I checked!

Thanks so much again.
