eBay $60 GameStop Gift Card: $50

Thanks!  Looks like Target has stopped selling eBay GCs online now?

Yes but it makes it a lot harder to do if you are in an area that isn't supposed to let you. If this were physical cards I'd be all over it.

Why aren't they supposed to let you?

Edit: Think I can answer my own question. Found this on GS website:

"Digital Gift Certificates are sold on GameStop.com and can be redeemed online at GameStop.com, EBgames.com, or Impulsedriven.com or redeemed in U.S stores. Digital Gift Certificates are delivered via email within 48 hours of processing (excluding major holidays) and can also include a gift message."

It says it can be redeemed in US stores, doesn't seem to list any exclusions.

If you buy the max (5), you get exactly $5 in eBay bucks rewards back, the minimum you need to earn in a period to be able to spend them. Nice extra bonus.

I just bought a bunch, might as well use them towards NX, Neo or Scorpio console purchase.

Are ebay gift card codes working on this?

Edit: I see what happened.. I had to use the email associated with my paypal account even though you can login with another email that goes into it anyway and it was tied to that email so I couldn't use it.

You are not a real CAG, if you don't have ebay bucks in the double digits by now
 
Although my local gamestops (plural) have been fine with me buying ebay gift cards using GS credit... this gravy train is bound to come to an end. As much as I would really love to get an extra $50 out of this, I don't want to be the guy who pulls out too late and am left with GS gift cards.

eh not worried about it. Worse to worse, use it for Amazon flips that can be had through their site.

Just wear a condom, won't have to worry about pulling out too late.

If it comes to that, just buy a NEO or Scorpio @ GS
 
The GS's around me are starting to become problematic when I use my credit on amazon/ebay, I cant imagine what they would say if I roll up with printed giftcards. And I still have to somehow convert $500 more of my credit....Pass.
 

 
Thanks OP. Got in for 5 right before they sold out. Free $75 in the last 2 weeks, hope eBay keeps it up.

Guy at my Gamestop is really cool but seemed a little suspicious when I had $150 in printed gift cards. Have to start slowly converting instead of all at once.

A lot of stores have not been allowing GC purchases (like eBay or Amazon) with trade credit to prevent money laundering. They also like to extend that to buying gift cards with gift cards.

The system won't block either one but the associate likely will. Having to get them to scan a digital GC only makes it more likely that you'll get blocked.

I usually take my stack of gift card print outs and make a small purchase (more often than not a trade to amazon), and while checking out I ask if I can put the rest of the paper gcs on a physical gc. I've only been asked where I got them once or twice, and I've responded by saying that I get them from my credit card rewards program. I've never had an issue. I'll be doing this with the $240 in GCs I picked up thanks to this deal.

Ended up caving and getting all 5 in this deal. Couldn't say no to $50 in free credit.

Last time I was at GS converting the $150 in gift cards I had, I was sure I was gonna get called out on it as I had five separate email gift cards. But the amount I've gotten back, the same as you ($75; though I have yet to convert the five I got today to eBay credit), it's worth it.

As soon as I'm able to convert it back to eBay credit, I would say that I'm going to cash in and get best buy gift cards once a deal pops up... but once you're on a roll with these eBay gift cards it's hard to stop.

You can say that again. A $200 Gamestop gift card purchase turned into: $40 in extra Gamestop GCs, $2 from ebates, $4 in ebay bucks and 4,000 points at Gamestop when I convert the $200 back to eBay. I did run into a store in NE Ohio that doesn't allow eBay purchases with any form of credit, which is a bit of a downer, but the next store on my drive home allowed it.

The GS in my town is super cool about it, the store manager said that as long as the POS allows it he doesn't have an issue with it.  So I usually just use my phone and flip from email to email and he scans it directly from the Paypal Digital Gifts page.  He's even called around to other stores to have them send him ebay GCs since me and another guy buy them faster than corporate sends them to him.

Little League stuff unless you have multiple accounts that you max out the $500 each quarter. ;-) $4000 a year in free gift cards is awesome. Also shopathome is 1.5% cashback instead of 1% at ebates

I wish I could, I raise flags when I try to purchase everytime. Unless you have multiple paypal accounts as well.

I did open a new checking when running into the paypal digital crap. I've had to call them as well once or twice to get the error off my account and for a while I was just doing physical Target cards mailed to churn. It's a pain in the ass at times, but worth it. It does seem of late paypal got there shit together on these or maybe I'm reset on my limits.

My joke was a bit politically incorrect, especially with all the changes going on... Bad joke... Someone perform their ult in Overwatch against me to take me out, so then it repeats in play of the game to taunt me some more.

What GC's other than GameStop can be used to purchase EBay GC's?

Before you could purchase Target GCs and recycle those but theres no reliable source for Target GCs on eBay since GCM stopped carrying Target GCs. Sucks that eBay hasn't run a eBay bucks promo in the last 2 weeks, I have some GCs to recycle and want to earn more eBay bucks!
