I am ALWAYS suspicious of gift cards being sold on eBay - or elsewhere for that matter. I saw an article where people were shoplifting merchandise and then returning it to the store for a credit, which is normally issued on a gift card. Of course, if the store detects the fraud, then the gift card is cancelled.
I just have to ask... WHY would someone sell a gift card with $50 on it for $40? And why would someone BUY a gift card at face value from anyplace other than the store it came from? I'm sure there might be SOME legitimate reasons, but it sounds too suspicious to me.
Of course, this is just in general - obviously, you cannot shoplift from Amazon...
