Is it normal that on eBay Coles and Woolworth gift card sell more then real value?

I was checking ebay for gift card and I found few people bought or bid higher price then real value. I also found $30 Coles gift card bid at $49. I was laughing at. Now I m thinking to do business by buying through entertainment book sell on eBay. Lmao.

  • Probably because they have a voucher code.

    Eg. They received a $50 Ebay voucher from a previous deal (though, this one expired two weeks ago).

    Gotta spend it on something, why not a $30 Coles Gift card that expires end of 2017?

      wtf?! lol that is so … wow. haha i had a look at the bidding history of 2 of the bidders. one seems to bid on a lot of vouchers. the other is likely a friend of the seller

      even if you had a $50 ebay voucher, SURELY you can get better value out of it than a $30 gift card? ..like a $50 gift card?

      @Zonty I'll totally go halvies on this new business venture with ya haha

  • I can think of many reasons why someone would do this (but I have a corrupt mind).

      Scamming buyers. They use the code and complain that there want any money in it and dispute using PayPal. PayPal will then refund them at the sellers expense. PayPal is corrupt.
