GIFT CERTIFICATES ??

Good morning everyone. Has anyone had any experience buying gift cards/certificates on line? thanks for your input.|||Just be very careful. Check your seller's feedback, 99% is the lowest I would go for a high risk transaction. Buy from high FB sellers, over 100. Pay with a credit card.|||wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole--but be sure to pay with paypal if you do.|||be sure to pay with paypal if you do Yes, and select Credit Card as your method of payment. That way you're doubly covered in case of a dispute.|||can anyone tell me why buyers pay more than face value for gift certificates and gift cards? I don't get it.||||||Save your money. Many of these gift cards will be unusable when you get to the cash register at the store. They will be empty, stolen, expired etc.|||I have sold gift certs on Ebay without any problems. I would recommend, as others have, that you use a credit card through Paypal and also that you use a seller with positive feedback (preferably one that has positive feedback for gift certificates). I also wonder why they sometimes go for MORE than face value. I once had a $20 gas card, received as a gift, for a gas company not in my area. I listed it in an auction and it went for $24 plus $1 shipping - WEIRD!
