If you want to purchase from sellers with over 100 negative feedbacks this month alone . Feel free . As far as it being paypal selling the cards thats a outright lie .
So I fell for this and bought 2. Received 5 emails, 2 from eBay basically confirming order and shipment. 3 from PayPal, the last being my redemption code. When I redeemed it, the code only gave credit for 1- $100 gift card, not 2. So I've paid $150 for a $100 gift card and now have to contact customer service, go through the hassle of getting this fixed. Their receipt for the redemption code clearly shows $150 paid, with $100 as the amount of the gift. So either one of their "merchants" under the PayPal digital gift umbrella is scammer...or they've got a bug in their system.
WHAT A CROCK OF $#%.
This undermines my impression of PayPal, I expect their systems to be superior, given that I have both bank account and credit card linked to them. I don't care if there are a bunch of merchants under the PayPal digital gift thing...if they're going to put their name on it, it should work.
Not worth the hassle to save $5 over the multitude of other deals out there.
I think you need to look harder at your emails. I bought two and got two emails. I use Apple Mail and have my messages grouped by subject conversation so maybe you think you are only seeing one email but two emails are in that group. Or maybe you didn't click both "View Code" buttons on two emails to get two redeem code emails sent to you.
The emails I got were:
4:44 pm Payment confirmation from PayPal 4:45 pm Purchase confirmation from eBay 4:50 pm 2x View Code emails from PayPal 4:58 pm Shipped confirmation from eBay (After clicking View Code on each email?) 5:45 and 5:46 pm 2x Redeem Code emails from PayPal
Meh, they probably figured out what they did and are too embarrassed now to admit it.
