    You can stack multiple, I can't remember if it's limited to eight or fifteen though.

    Any coupon codes are included in the limit, not just gift cards.

      It's eight I believe

        I have been able to stack close to 13 in one purchase.

          Interesting and good to know, here it says this:

          No more than a total of $1500 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per transaction, no more than a total of $2000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per day, and no more than a total of $5000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per calendar month. Further, you may only redeem a maximum of eight Gift Cards in any single transaction (and fewer if you are redeeming Gift Cards in combination with other redemption codes, such as coupons or vouchers).

    You can spend more than one gift card at a time, or use a gift card on top of a voucher or discount offer. At checkout, put in one code at a time in the Gift cards, vouchers, coupons section and select Apply after each one to update your order total. You can use up to 8 codes per transaction.

        i have smaller value gift card.

        I did used more than $2000, but i think the hard limit of $5000 a week implied on me once

  • ozbargain, you guys are bloody legends.

  • The published limits ( 8 cards/codes, $1500/txn, 2k/day, 5k/month) aren't strongly enforced. There's lots of reports about people exceeding them without any issues and there's also reports of people being denied even when they haven't exceeded them.

    • Seems like it is now. Just been restricted to 8 codes no matter which account I used.

      I don't know how you can reach $2000 in one transaction then if the highest denomination is $200. Is there $500?

      • Ebay's gift card policy is random (and borderline illegal). I've had messages come up like "you've exceeded the maximum number of gift cards allowed in a 30 day period".

        Seems like it is now

        That's a bit sh*t if it's true site-wide.

        Is there $500?

        No

        • That's a bit sh*t if it's true site-wide.

          Yeah around 2 years ago I think I used like 9 or 10x $100 for an S9

          No

          Yeah my bad the 2000 limit is a daily limit. 1500 in a single transaction can be achieved with obviously 7x $200 + 1x $100 but then you wouldn't be able to stack a promo code if so.

  • Is it still 8 eBay gift cards maximum?, if so anyone figured out any work around to this 8 GC limit?

    Much appreciated any help 😁

      Your best bet is to buy the big denominations like $500/$1000 from Shopback.

      But keep in mind these restrictions too:

      No more than a total of $1,500 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per transaction, no more than a total of $2,000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per day, and no more than a total of $5,000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per calendar month.

      • Thanks for that,. I actually spoke to eBay online chat and they stated ots restricted up to 8 eBay physical gift cards per purchase,..

        why I originally asked if the was any work around maybe like converting 14x $50 eBay physical gift cards into 7x $100 eBay physical gift cards but have a feeling there is no solution, but thanks again

        Edit: funny I think eBay USA is limited to 4x gift cards umm wonder if another country eBay site allows more then 8 limit or maybe Australia eBay is the only fortunate country with a limit of 8

        Edit again: a quick google,..

        More annoying 1x voucher code entered will reduce the GC limit by 1x and so on,. basically the voucher is stacking the GC limit and most people will find out this the hard way at checkout which sucks

  • So there is a limit of $1500 in gift cards if I buy a TV with $2600? I don’t want to have a lot of money sitting in eBay gift cards not being used (if I can’t use them all l) as I don’t buy from eBay very often.

    • Yes there is, it's either 8 codes (or 7+coupon) and/or $1500 in total per transaction.

  • Any works around anyone was able to find ? Buy and return, will the return comes back as 1 gc for all or in as many as used to pay ?

    • no, that wont work. It will return to whatever card you used. In your case, multiple gift cards.

      The worst part about that is the GC wont be associated with your account (cos it has been spent), so you will need to dig through and find the previously used up card it was refunded to and reapply to your account in a future purchase.

  • yes the return will come back as a gift card

  • ebay should be more like amazon how we can store as much gift cards as we want.

  • Has anyone recently managed to spend more than $1500 in one day?

    Have purchased $1800 worth of gift cards, only to read up the Ts and C's now haiyaaa

  • Damn just read this as well after buying $2.2k of gift cards :(

    Yep, I got stung with buying $4,400 worth of gift cards and hit the $1500 limit. I'm attempting to try and return the gift cards to shopback but they're being difficult and taking their time. I'll file a credit card dispute if they don't return them since the $1500 limit isn't clearly stated anywhere during the purchase of the gift cards via their app.
