Gift Cards Policy

eBay permits the listing of gift cards, with the following restrictions:

  • The value of the gift card may not exceed $500.

  • Gift cards may not be sold as pre-sale items and must be in hand at the time of listing.

  • Only one gift card may be listed per week, per seller. No exceptions will be made for sellers with multiple accounts. For the purposes of this policy, eBay defines one week as seven days from the end of the previous Gift Card listing close.

  • Multiple Gift Cards cannot be combined under a single listing

eBay, at its discretion, may approve 1st party suppliers, or authorized 3rd party contractors, to sell gift cards in excess of these restrictions.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Limits on account privileges

  • Account suspension

  • Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay understands that from time to time members may have gift cards they may not wish to use and would prefer instead to list them on eBay. The restrictions to the value and the frequency of gift card sale are in place to promote a safer marketplace for all eBay members.
