is there a risk if i buy gift cards delivered by email on eBay?

pperry · #1 02-15-2017

i ran into a seller on eBay that sells numerous gift cards for email delivery and has a massive amount of good feedback. now my question would be would i be at risk if i have stealth account and i buy a few of these gift cards? not looking to get limited or banned for just buying from the guy. any feedback would be appreciated.

Not much risk for you as a buyer if not the riskto be scammed... that guy has quite some bad feedback... .and very recent too.

Well, that account is run by PayPal! lol

And much of the bad feedback seems to be coming from those who claim their accounts were hacked to make purchases.

@pperry, for future posts with links to eb or pp - make sure to add *WARNING EBAY LINK* - forum policy.

Interesting that nothing is for sale right now...

Yet another ridiculous post from rsot.

Common sense would tell us that in a post asking about a specific eBay seller, there is going to be a link to eBay.

Listen - there is nothing ridiculous about telling the OP to post a "WARNING EBAY LINK" - it's the forum rule.

Keep your judgement to yourself - it's pointless.

sorry i didn't know i had to put a warning but will do so in the future.

so there is no risk if i keep buying them with my stealth account to get limited by paypal? i will give it a shot and see what happens hopefully all goes well just wanted to get some feedback from you stealthers to see if anyone had experience . thanks everyone

It doesnt look to me that all that bad feedback is the seller's fault, it looks more that he's the go-to seller that people who get hold of hacked accounts go to buy from..... then the hacked account holder doesnt have the goods, didn't make the purchase, but has the ability (stupidly) to leave bad FB on the seller. Since it's Eb*y or PyPl's own seller account, I don't fee sad for them as far as the feedback, but if it was just a guy selling, man I would.

I'd feel totally safe buying from that seller.
