@october2495 You cannot use American Express gift cards to shop on Ebay. If you're looking to shop on eBay without a credit card, then you need to get a Greendot Moneypak. You can link that to your paypal account.

Why is do you need an address? cause i don't want mail or stuff sent to me

[GiftCardRescue]

@Z3NPHO3NIX You need an address because when the processor goes to verify it they need to match up.

@october2495 @GiftCardRescue While what you are both saying probably was true when you posted it a year ago. American Express gift cards can now be used for ALL online shopping.

Once you get the registration part out of the way, ALL you have to do is link it to your Paypal account and ensure that it's the payment method Paypal will use first (if you have your checking accnt hooked in, Paypal tends to always go to that first).

Just got an American Express gift card ($50) and checked the balance on it and it only had $43 on it... What the fuck...

I tried to register the card with PayPal and it didn't work but all my transactions were from PayPal for $1 and it said it charged me for the same thing 7 times!!! All I tried to do was use it with PayPal I didn't even get a warning it was going to charge me! It didn't even accept the card! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

If you want to make enemies, give people around you these frustrating cards. They don't work, not activated, they charge you fees left and right, and you have to spend a lot of time on the phone talking to people from India who have no clue what they are doing ... until you give up and throw the card away. Thank you american express for this great gift !!
