If you look at the top, you’ll notice that the form of payment has changed from my Bank of America account to say “Gift cards, coupons.” I went ahead and clicked ‘Confirm and pay’ on screenshot #3 to complete the checkout. However, today I looked at screenshot #3 again. Frustrated, I would usually just check out with screenshot #2 where I applied the $100 GC and pay the rest on my credit card. Notice that my total is still $111.95 in the upper right. When I re-enter the first $100 gift card, I get the same screenshot as #2 above where I still owe $11.95. You can see the big fat error at the bottom “We can’t apply this code to your order.” If I try to add a DIFFERENT gift card, I get the same error. Now watch what happens when I add a $25 gift card to the checkout: I’ve applied $100 and now it wants to charge $11.95 to my bank account. Here’s the screenshot after I add a $100 gift card. It of course wants me to use my checking account. So I was shopping for some brakes for my car and found them for $112 on eBay. And I think this is what’s causing these disappearing gift cards issue with eBay. Moral of story – I don’t want my gift cards linked to any Paypal account. It’s also bad in case you are over the $5,000 every 6 month limit too and want to use that gift card using a differnt Paypal account. Why is this an issue you ask? Well, if you ever get your Paypal account blocked, your gift cards are in limbo and good luck trying to “unlock” them from that Paypal account. That means you can’t use that gift card when checking out with a different Paypal account. This is good and bad – good because it’s saved and bad in that it’s linked to that Paypal account. I think this happens when your eBay account isn’t linked to your Paypal – what I mean is, for most people, if you buy a $75 item and apply a $100 eBay gift card, the remaining $25 is ‘saved’ to your Paypal account. There seems to be a glitch in the eBay checkout system when you are trying to use multiple gift cards to pay for an item.
