So there's no risk involved here. Either wal-mart will sell you a money order from the card or you can sell the card on eBay. You'll only be out about $2 for the listing fee.
Ebay's final-value fees for a $500 sale is almost $15:
$1.30 for the first $25, 2.75% for the rest.
That comes out to about $0.03/mile -- not a good deal IMHO.
