I'm so happy for you! I know you've been waiting for this.

I would love to get these cards in time to take advantage of a possible offer next week. I thought I was going to have to take a break until mid-April due to the $5K limit so anything I get between now and then is icing on the cake.

Oh, thanks so much!
Interesting, I did not get on my regular account this time. Wondering if that's because I am at my ebucks limit for the quarter. But, I was last week also and did receive that last 4x offer last Monday. Anyway, super excited, lol! Got some good ebucks in before the end of this quarter, which is great! I feel bad being so excited, knowing others are still waiting for their first one, too, but hopefully next one for those who didn't get one yet!

Altho it may only be 20 min of keying of cards, you post out here a lot -- I would count that time too! Your total work is probably several hours. I try to include everything when I figure "is this worth it"... So time spent reading, researching, ordering, calling, complaining, venting, stressing, talking, sharing, unboxing, recycling, brainstorming, accounting, going to a store, and so on. I think mine breaks down to around $30/hour after everything. For example today I made another $60 flipping... but besides just the 10 min to do the transaction, I spent 2 hours out here.

nah I'm not really looking for my hourly wage. It was less than 20 minutes of time to locate the deal, buy the gift cards, turn the gift cards around. If you factor in the reading time here you might as well add in the time it takes waiting to receive the cards too.
I read the page here for fun, i come back even when i don't have gift cards to spend just to see what's up.

Just wanted to share my experience today....

I have been having my orders from Target all cancelled, so I'm taking a break from ordering online. This prompted me to go to Target today and buy eBay cards to take advantage of the eBay bucks deal. I ended up getting 14 $50 cards. I was able to enter all 14 of the eBay cards to my GiftCard Mall order. So, in my experience, they aren't enforcing the gift card per order limit.

I feel bad that I left so much money on the table by not being able to order online and get the 5% and a shopping portal percentage, but I'm grateful that I could still order and get a nice profit of eBay bucks today anyway.

Just have the packages dropped off at a surepost facility. They will send you an email when it arrives.

Exactly, this is therapy and entertainment combined into one OCD outlet.

well that gamestop ebay deal was worth it. got 20 ebay bucks and made $300 in ebay gift cards, from using 250 in paypal gift cards. i preorder a game for 5 bucks to make that employee happy.

I'm going to mix in more stops through Gamestop next quarter since Target has been giving me so much grief. I tend to stick with Target for the extra 5% discount + 2% Ebates, but this is a really good deal! Unfortunately, my eBay funds are pretty tied up right now. I have 4 or 5 Gamestops within a relatively close drive and have had luck buying gift cards with gift cards at two of them before. But I'd want to start off small in case any of the stores changed their policy recently.

9/28 there was a 5x (after a 9/22 4x), but in December last I show is a 12/21 3x

That was the fourth promo for September, right? An offer next week would be the fifth for March, which would be outside the norm, I believe.

Yeah, Gamestops are a hit and miss and nerve-wracking if you don't know if yours will accept gift cards. Gamestop is really great for flipping if you don't have that much out of pocket to start with.

Is there a limit to how many GCM target gcs you can get from ebay? Or how many ebay gift cards you can use to pay for them?

When GCM runs its own sale (e.g., $100 GC for $95), it's usually 2 GCs per account. When eBay runs a coupon code/sale (e.g., $20 off $100) that can be applied to GCs, it's usually 1x use per account. There is no limit at GCM when GCs are face value+shipping even though an eBay Bucks promotion is running. eBay does limit the amount of gift cards used to pay to $1000 per transaction.

Ugh! I just had a scare. Yesterday I bought 2 ebay cards from Target (1 - $50 & 1- $100) using 4 target gift cards and charging $12.50 to my red card. The $50 one came through just fine but the $100 got cancelled. I received an email that it was cancelled due to technical difficulties. Then I checked and they had charged me $77.50 in gift cards. So, I broke down and called. The guy I talked to was really nice told me it was due to a technical difficulty (in my mind, I kept rolling the word banned in my head) and that he could re-order it for me. I explained that I was charged in gift cards more than the $50 card that I had purchased. Feeling guilty, I read off the numbers to all 4 gift cards. He said that he needed to get a supervisor. I thought OH NO, that's not good. Then he came back and said he had to get a technical specialist involved. My heart nearly stopped, I thought surely they will see all the orders that I have been making and flag my account. But he kept coming back to the line to check on me to tell me he was working with them. This went on for 40 minutes. Then he comes back, apologizes profusely and tells me that the money is back and that I can re-order my card anytime I want. Phew. But I think I'm going to wait a few days before I do anything. I already got in on the 4x Ebay bucks today. So, I can wait.

This happened to me yesterday as well, but I had ordered 3 x $200 eBay gift cards and one was cancelled. I also used Target CGs to pay, so one is now depleted that should not have been. I've kept checking the CG to see if they put the money back, but they haven't yet. I guess I will need to make a call to them as well. Ugh! I'm glad you got your money back!

I'm hoping someone could give me some advice. I placed a order thru target early this morning for 2 100$ ebay giftcards. The order hasn't been canceled yet and still saids processing. I have the option to reorder. I've ordered many times before and the order has never taking this long so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks

Has anyone seen higher value ebay cards in-store at Target?

I had a gift card order sit at "order created" for 14 hours a few weeks ago. Then it went through fine!

Just $25 and $50.

If you go the Gamestop route, they stock eBay gift cards in store that allow you to load your choice of amount from $25-500.
