2. Now that online shoppers have realized the true potential
of online shopping with eBay, they offer their customers a
better and easier (not to mention cheaper) way of doing
their transactions with eBay. eBay Gift Certificates!
3. But the customers and all online shoppers must always be
careful about the terms and/or conditions regarding the
gift certificates. Always be alert and reminded about the
expiration date of the gift certificates, this way, customers
can always make full use of their eBay GCs. The gift
certificates from eBay are wonderful gifts to the people
dear to us. With an eBay gift certificate, we share the joys
of shopping online through eBay.
4. eBay gift certificates are available to anyone who wishes
to buy one. No eBay registration or eBay membership is
required to get your hands on this baby. They can be
purchased though PayPal. One of its yet better points is
that while paying for your gift certificate, you can choose
to sign up for your account at PayPal.
5. But as anything, there is a catch. The catch is not all eBay
gift certificates will be redeemed. Only those that pass the
following requirements will be redeemed.
6. 1. The one who sells the item on sale accepts PayPal as
one of the ways to pay for their merchandise.
7. 2. The original price of the item on sale must be in Pounds
Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros or US Dollars.
8. 3. The owner of the GC has ten days after the item on sale
has been closed at eBay to pay for the merchandise
through PayPal.
9. There are rare occasions that and eBay gift certificate will
expire. Customers or purchasers of the gift certificates are
also not required to pay maintenance fees on unused
balances of the gift certificate. If the price of the item that
a customer is buying cannot be covered by the gift
certificate alone, the buyer needs to supply the remaining
balance through paying from another fund source at
PayPal (which can either be credit card or bank account).
10. eBay gift certificates can be spent when the customer
wishes to buy an item or have won an item at eBay that
passes the requirements mentioned above. To do this,
when you have chosen the item that you want, select the
word Paypal for your payment method. (Don't panic if it
reroutes you to the PayPal site, this really happens) Log in
to PayPal and write down the redemption codes found in
the Check Payment Detail. Look for the Add/Select button
and click on that to enable you to use your GC. You
redeem your gift certificates this way and the seller of the
item receives the payment through PayPal.
