Gift card no good

[xtreme95-0]

So i got a 200 dollar ebay card.

Half of which i used.

I got offers and i'm willing to pay. Only problem is that my card with $107 dollars is no good.

It's been three days since i last tried and it gives me some excuse

"Looks like you've used a lot of gift cards lately. You can redeem more gift cards in a couple days."

Don't give me that. Don't give me that.

I'm worried If i get another ebay card with any amount on it it'll say the same **bleep**.

I need answers to solve this problem.

No.

Why not? How are you buying the gift cards in the first place? Why not just put that payment method toward your purchase?

Well **bleep**.. And i can't cancel the orders cause it's too late.
Guess i'll have to find another way or ignore them.

YOU can't cancel because sellers have to cancel at your request. 

Ask the sellers to please cancel.

I use cash at stores to get gift cards.

Even if i could use my debit card. No matter how much is in it.

It still declines it.

Nah i'll just wait.

eBay is going downhill.

Even when i do finally figure it out i'll probably go to amazon.

Amazon doesn't trick out their customers.

Well, dang. I would still recommend that you reach out to those seller(s), in case you may still want to shop here someday. The reason being that if you get a couple of UI strikes, you're hindered from buying from lots of sellers for a whole year.

Afterthought... if I was your seller and heard of your honest gift card 'snafu', I'd cancel for you. Hang in there...

I'll just call my bank and say a few words about my card not working and maybe make a deposit and fix this all out.  Cause i do not want to be blocked from buying (which is freedom rights)

I'll ask them to cancel my orders but i will figure this out.

In the meantime..

Yep and possibly rack up UPI strikes and be banned from buying from most sellers.

UPI strikes happen within 4 calender days.

I'm gonna try again in a hour and see if my card will now work. 

Since there's money on it. (more than enough for my items)

Thanks for the clarification.  So what "bleep" would that be and whom are you addressing?

I was meaning to reply when you said you were just going to forget about it. And I know about the 4 day limit, I am a seller on another ID with many thousand transactions.

[xtreme95-0]

I just now bought my items with my debit card. Turns out it expired 3 days ago 

I'll wait a month to use my gift card

Your bank should have sent you a new card well in advance of the other card expiring.

what exactly were you hoping an ebay community that doesn't work for ebay to do for you?
