When do eBay gift cards expire?
Good news: your eBay gift card will never expire! You can save it for a rainy day, or use part of it now and save the rest for later, but whatever you decide to do, you won’t have to worry about losing your money. Your eBay gift card will not acquire additional fees over time, and will maintain its value perfectly.
How do eBay gift cards work?
Because eBay is a completely digital marketplace, using a gift card on their site can be a little confusing. Don’t worry! It’s pretty simple to use your gift card once you know how.
First, create an account on both eBay and PayPal, if you don’t already have those accounts. These are needed so that if you don’t use the entire gift card, the remaining amount can be automatically transferred to your eBay account, and so that you can buy your item through the legitimate payment method of PayPal. Your eBay account must be made in the United States, and you must also have a U.S. shipping address.
Then, shop till you drop!
Finally, enter your eBay gift card information when you’re ready to checkout.
Do eBay gift cards have an activation fee?
There are no fees on your eBay gift card, including an activation fee. Save the gift card for as long as you like without consequence.
