Title: Using prepaid gift cards on ebay?
Post by: teacher316 on May 14, 2014, 11:02:56 AM
Has anyone had luck using prepaid visa or mastercard gift cards on ebay? I'm having some trouble as I'd like to use 2 that I have to pay for something but ebay only lets me enter 1 card number.
Not sure what to try next. :(

I am pretty sure you can. Have you tried this below, when checking out?

Quote
"1. Click the Pay now button for the item you are buying.
 2. Enter the redemption code from the gift certificate, gift card, or coupon in the "Redemption code" field at the bottom the page and click the Apply button.
 Tip: If you received your redemption code online, it’s easier to copy it and paste it into the “Redemption code” field instead of typing it.
 3.Click the "Update Total" link to see your new total.
 4. Complete your purchase. If the value of your gift certificate, gift card, or coupon doesn't cover the total price of your purchase, you can pay the balance with your PayPal account using your PayPal balance, bank account, or credit card."

I havent tried it myself but I'd go with what Ponylady said ^^  :)   Hopefully you should be able to use them by following that.   If you've already tried and it wont let you enter two numbers then maybe there is a restriction on how many you can use at once... but I havent come across anything saying that

Tried that ponylady and ringlets. It didn't work:(  I think that only works for ebay gift cards.

You can try to set one up as your card to use on your paypal account....then use the other one as a gift card...and when you use your paypal it will come off the other card.

Hope that works. I know how aggravating those things can be.
