When did eBay discontinue their gift certificate program?
A relative tried gifting me an eBay gift card via email last year and the order kept getting canceled and was told customer service was a waste of time. I just Googled and I got this info. So when and why did they discontinue the program?
Sometimes I'd pay for part of a purchase using a gift certificate purchased with one credit card and the rest on another, so this is no longer possible?

·3 years agoIt is most likely due to too much fraud. Scammers post items and vehicless on third party websites(FB marketplace) and pretend it's through ebay. They would have the buyers pay in ebay gift cards only. I guess this was the best solution

OP3 years agoI understand the potential fraud issues, but in my instance the eBay gift certificate was through the Paypal site. I double checked on eBay and gift cards are available for purchase for other places, but not eBay.

·3 years agoeBay gift cards are still around; albeit, most are phony/fake and not a worth a hill-of-beans (as they say) so just have someone or yourself, purchase a 'Visa Gift Card' and be done.

OP3 years agoI don't see eBay gift certificates as an option on eBay anymore.
