Ebay - would you bid on this?

[3timesoccermom]

I've seen several listings like the following, which is an actual current listing. I would never believe in or bid on something like this. You?

Type: Department Store
Valid Locations: Nationwide
Merchant: XXXXXXXXXX
Value (Dollars): up to 300 dollars

I have for auction 9 target preloaded gift cards. Values are up to 300 dollars. These amounts on these nine sealed gift cards are $10.00 being the lowest amount and $300 being the highest amount: The other amounts on the 7 remaining cards are in between $10.00 and $300. All cards are in sealed envelopes. I do not know which amount you will receive, at the end of the auction 1 card will be mailed upon cleared payment.10% of the winning bid will be donated to the . . . Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

I wouldn't bid on it - has scam written all over that setup in my mind.

I agree, smells like a scam. If I had 9 preloaded gift cards at my disposal, I'd be redeeming them myself!

This is against ebay policy and should be reported. You can only offer ONE gift card on your ebay account at any given time.

Also, anytime there is a chance to "win" money it becomes a lottery which is also against ebay policy (and state laws).

Help keep ebay honest and REPORT THESE TYPES OF AUCTIONS if you stumble upon them

cory11183 - I think it's only one gift card per listing, not per account but since I'm not a seller I'm not 100%.

It is against the rules for the listing is to tell just what Item will be mailed and received by the buyer..

Its has SCAM all over it to me

If its not a scam, it's probably money laundering-We live on border with Mexico. There was a report on tv about how drug money is being laundered through gift cards. Featured stories of people sitting at gas stations who would pump your gas on their card for your cash...
