Mentor2 years agoI am sorry that this happened to you. Unfortunately gift cards (whether eBay's or some other store) are considered to be cash and are untraceable. Also, gift cards are non refundable once purchased.

Mentor2 years agoScammers specifically ask for gift cards because once anyone else knows the code, the money can be immediately spent and is gone. Gift cards are like cash in that regard. Once given to a scammer, there is little you can do after that to get your money back, particularly if you do not know who have given it to.
Report the ad on the site you originally found it on, if it is still there.
