Can I pay with multiple payment sources?

[spartyon1222]

So I have a Mastercard Gift Card for $500. eBay gift cards for $200, $200, $100, and $100. I'm looking to buy an item that costs $1200. Can use The Mastercard, the gift cards, and PayPal for the final amount?

Hi @spartyon1222 

It appears that sometime in 2023/2024, eBay stopped the use of Mastercard gift cards being used on the site.

FYI: Read more about how to use your eBay gift cards now:

Click on this link:  Add Gift card and enter the redemption code. Using your gift card at checkout will automatically link the card to your account. If there's a remaining balance the card will remain linked for easier use next time.

• You can check the balance and add a new gift card to your account by using the Add Gift card page.
• You can also track your gift card balances in the Payments section in My eBay.
• Gift cards are linked to your account on the first use. Once you use it, your card cannot be used with another eBay account.
• If you return an item you bought with an eBay gift card, the amount you used on the gift card will be refunded. You can then use the gift card redemption code again as long as you're using the same eBay account.
• Your Gift Card does not expire.
• No inactivity or service fees apply to the Gift Card.

Ok, thanks I can buy eBay gift cards with the Mastercard gift card I guess. I thought I read there is a limit to the number of gift cards I can use though. Is there a limit?

Hi @spartyon1222 

Click on the link below:

> https://pages.ebay.com/giftcard/terms_conditions.html

Restrictions (see #5):

1. The Gift Card is not refundable or redeemable for cash, except to the extent required by law.
2. The Gift Card may be used to make purchases only up to the available balance on the Gift Card. The available balance of the Gift Card is reduced by the amount of each purchase of goods or services.
3. If you want to use the Gift Card to make a purchase that exceeds the available balance on the Gift Card, you must combine the use of the Gift Card with additional payment from another funding source. You agree that we are not responsible if you do not have enough funds on your Gift Card to facilitate a transaction.
4. The Gift Card may not be used to pay eBay selling fees. The Gift Card also may not be used to buy eBay Gift Cards, third party gift cards, gift certificates, coupons, coins, paper money, virtual currency, or items generally considered to be “bullion” (for example, gold, silver, and other precious metals in the form of coins, bars, or ingots).
5. No more than a total of $1000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per day, and no more than a total of $1500 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per calendar month. eBay reviews all accounts linked to a user to calculate these daily and monthly limits.
6. The Gift Card is not redeemable outside the U.S. or its Territories.

I see in 2023 they had a 4 gift card limit. Is that still the policy or is it just $1000 on a purchase regardless of how many cards are used? Looking to buy but I don’t want to buy then not be able to use my gift cards!

I wanted to let you know — well in advance of the auction — that the community team was not able to provide any information before the weekend. In a case like this, we'll just have to use the current information that is available and posted in:

Message 2 and Message 4

Good luck!

[spartyon1222]

Thank you for the help! I will bid knowing I may not be able to apply all these gift cards!

[spartyon1222]

I was able to use 6 gift cards at once for up to $1000. Thanks for all your help!

@spartyon1222 

Wow! That is fantastic. Thank you for returning and letting me know. I appreciate it.

Just an FYI: This is still being worked on. The information that you have been providing has been extremely helpful. Thank you again.
