I'm not sure how that would work. I only use Amazon cards. Things are getting a little weird locally, though. One of the big drug store chains are putting a limit (under $200usd) on cash purchases without producing an ID. Makes no sense.
How do they explain it? If you split your purchase in parts below $200 each, will they also deny? I insist on paying cash wherever I can, just out of principle.
I asked why. The guy said because of fraud. I asked if the card was fraudulent. He said of course not. I said so are you afraid I will commit fraud? He said yes. I said how. He said he didn't know, but those are the rules.
Ah, you are going to a drug store to buy physical Amazon gift cards for cash? Got it.
Yes. Ecards kind of defeat the whole purpose, IMO
How do you deliver them to the Bitcoin seller on Robosats? How can he be sure you did not look up the code?
I buy the card
Peel off the sticker
Give him the code
He verifies it by depositing it in his amazon account.
He gives me bitcoin
but instead of all that, is much better to use https://azte.co/ vouchers
Ok. And if he cheats and this goes to moderation, how can you prove that he got the money? Because he can say the code was spent. I don't trade p2p because of all these scenarios in my head...
gift cards have been a go-to for criminals since forever

so capping them is probably just a blanket liability thing
I think there may be people mass buying gift cards for one reason or another.
Last time I walked into a Best Buy to get a Steam gift card for someone's birthday... and they were totally sold out. I asked about it and the employee said someone comes in every time they stock the gift cards and just buys 'em all out.
im always surprised by how few gbp offers there are on there
I was mostly thinking of using them online.
Re: drugstores - That’s some dystopian type stuff…
I'm going old school resistance money😀
I’ve thought of accepting different currencies as a seller with the Amazon gift cards to see if I could use them but always decided against it as that would be a bummer of a loss if it turned out that I couldn’t…
