eBay - $50 Gift Card

I bought six of these through the Best Buy website and picked them up at the store. When I went to go and use them for an Ebay purchase, I got an error message saying they weren't activated. I went back to the Best Buy store and they do not want to help me, beware when buying these gift cards, this is a complete headache for me!!

The eBay card was easy to use and works GREAT! But beware when using multiple Ebay Gift Cards to make an online purchase. I have noticed that when trying to "use up" gift cards with small balances that the Ebay system will charge the full amount of the transaction to the final card used if it contains sufficient funds to cover the transaction. In other words even though you enter the Redemption Code for a card with a $10.00 balance first, then use the code from a card with a $50.00 balance second, for say a $30.00 purchase, the entire $30.00 will be deducted from the second card. Which leaves $10.00 on the first card, which you have no way of knowing. If you pitch the card then your out of luck. SURPRIZE! There are no indications provided during the checkout process that would alert you that they did this. I wonder how many folks have throw their money in the trash can because of this. Good for Ebay! Bad for customers.

These cards are similar to Amazon gift cards in that the code on the back is the only important part. If you end up buying a lot, you can scratch the backs and write the codes down in one place to help keep track of them. It looks like you can only buy them in store now, but they will accept BB gift cards on them so if you want to switch out BB credit for eBay credit, you can.

Purchased the gift card as a gift for someone but surprised to know that it is not active and can't be used. Very disappointed with the store and representatives who could not helped and ask me to come to the store 12 miles down. Feeling ashamed !!!

Ebay/Paypal only let you use something like 4 gift cards per transaction. This makes it difficult when you are trying to pay for an item/order for greater than say $100. Bestbuy you need to stock higher Ebay value gift cards.

Purchased eBay $50 card has zero balance. I will not recommend this product to buy on Best Buy. They haven't replied to my query. Haven't expected this from Best Buy.

Buy a gift card from Best Buy! They spend like cash and are accepted by the merchant on the card.

This one was Delivered in 2 days. Wow ! Thats how it should be. Perfect ! 5 Star card.
