Default What's up with this guy?

This guy is selling Amazon gift cards, but doesn't send them until 2 months + in the future.

Some scam so people cannot claim their money back?

Sounds like a scam.

Buyers should get their money back via eBay and PayPal buyer protection.

The seller in this case probably plans to spend the funds (after they are released from hold).

Im amazed there were several people who actually bid on this.
Probably didn't read the auctions description. There are always such bidders...

He is offering to post the code straight away so maybe he is simply on holiday or otherwise unable to post until that date. PayPal offer 180 day protection so doesn't sound like a well thought out scam to me.

Could be he's waiting for cash back to make a gift card purchase.

Who bids on something that isn't delivered until 2 months later.

Did anyone read the following:
"if requested I can email code of purchased card instead of posting on the 22nd February."

All you gotta do is request the code.

That just sounds like he can provide the code and post not the card, but still only on the 22nd Feb

He's probably abroad but will have access to the card number.

Must be really desperate for cash.

Possibly. Relatively new member but his feedback doesn't seem to set off any red flags.
