what you mean by "Blocked"?
Is there any email from them?
What is the exact email?
What error you get when login?
Have you used all your gife card? Quote:

You purchased 19 gift cards. Did you not at any point think that might look a little bit suspicious

Very odd behaviour - Amazon is wise on to this - I think they blocked you but they wont charge you for the remaining cards you tried to buy

I figured that I was purchasing small dollar gift cards that there wouldn't be any problems...all under $20 dollars......We learn from our mistakes, right?? I just hope they refund me or let me print the purchased gift cards....

Woah!
OP, you need to re-evaluate your business plan.
Should have consulted here before such a risky procedure.
We know how wise amazon are to many tricks.
Fingers crossed for a good outcome  | |

Any reason you bought 19, instead of a $500, $500, and $100 ?

Yah resale is most likely. Either way you made a silly mistake and as mentioned, next time get some advice first. At least it only seems like a buying account. Wold me much worse if it was an established selling account.

It is a Pretty good bet that you will not see that Money ever again, and Please do not come back with a Post saying that Amazon Cannot do it because they Do, ALL THE TIME,,,if you are the REAL Owner of that account, then I imagine if you make enough Noise, and Proivide them with enough Proof, then they will give you your money,,but if its a Stealth account, well, it would seem tha GOGETTER was GOTTEN

Amazon gift card can be sold more than the face value on ebay Quote:

 WTF! Why would someone buy a gift card over face?
Is this increased demand from stealth account holders looking to cash out in other ways?!?!?

Easier ways to cash out of their paypal accounts. If you have 150 in a paypal, some wouldnt mind chopping off 25 bucks to get the 125 out.
especially if its a debit gift card. go to your local PO, make a PO money order and there you go. Cash in hand.

12-15% transaction costs to sell. Then another 15% or so hit on the gift card cash out? I take it the items sold have some REALLY good margins lol
